15 things to do about ICE

First off, fuck ICE. But, yes, there are most certainly more things to do than are on this list. Also, this list is going to lean towards Chicago and Illinois-related actions. Many of these come from the Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights (ICIRR) website, the Indivisible Chicago website, and the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) website.

  1. Learn your rights when encountering ICE and spread the word about those rights (you can also attend a Know Your Rights Workshop | Taller de Conoce Tus Derechos webinar hosted by ICIRR)
  2. Learn how to recognize the differences between ICE administrative warrants and judicial warrants and spread the word (you can find example images of the different kinds of warrants on National Immigrant Justice Center's website)
  3. Sign up to stay up to date about actions with ICIRR
  4. Donate to ICIRR/Volunteer with ICIRR
  5. Memorize ICIRR's number (1-835-435-7693/1-835-HELP-MY-FAMILY)
  6. If you are safe to do so, know that you have the right to film ICE activity in public spaces. Record at a safe distance and explain what is happening (use the acronym SALUTE (Size, Activity, Location, Uniform, Time, and Equipment/Weapons) or ACTUAR (Actividad, Cuántos y Fuerza, Tiempo y Fecha, Ubicación y Dirección, Armas y Herramienta, y Ropa y Uniforme)). Then, report ICE sightings by calling ICIRR (1-835-435-7693/1-835-HELP-MY-FAMILY). DO NOT upload your video to social media.
  7. Join ICIRR's IL eyes on ICE text network
  8. Attend a Migra Watch Training | Entrenamiento de Migra Watch webinar hosted by ICIRR
  9. Check in on Indivisible Chicago Action Calendar to see scheduled events you can take part in
  10. Sign up to receive Daily Actions from Indivisible Chicago
  11. Join a chapter of Indivisible Chicago/Donate to Indivisible Chicago
  12. Monitor the ACLU's take action page
  13. Donate to the ACLU
  14. If you can, be a Pro Bono Attorney for the National Immigrant Justice Center
  15. If you can, volunteer for Language Services for the National Immigrant Justice Center

15 facts I learned from a random Wikipedia article

Original prompt: click on "Random Wikipedia Article" and write about whatever comes up (you can try 3 times and pick your favorite). For the record, I got Alejandro Estivill , Fencing at the 2011 Pan American Games – Women's épée , and Benjamin F. Jonas . I chose Benjamin F. Jonas because it was the longest of the three entries and it had a photo. He was born in Kentucky, moved to Illinois as a kid, and went to college and spent the rest of his life in Louisiana Jonas's father was a merchant and lawyer His father knew Lincoln (like they were real buds) Despite this, Jonas sided with the confederacy Not only did he side with the confederacy, but he joined the Confederate army and rose to the rank of major He went to University of Louisiana (now Tulane) Jonas was Jewish (I didn't know there were Jewish senators who served the Confederacy) He was the second Jewish U.S. Senator from Louisiana and the third Jewish Senator overall Jonas was the first Ashkenazi Jewish US...

Origin story or first issue of a superhero whose super power is geometry

Arya sat in history class and was bored. She longed to get to geometry, where things made more sense. She liked geometry so much that she had joined the math team to be able to do it more. Okay, there was also the extra time with her friends who loved math as much as she did, but some of the appeal was just the math itself. Finally the bell rang and Arya had four minutes to get to her geometry class. She passed right by the chemistry class next door where her least favorite teacher was conducting experiments. He needed to be more careful, thought Arya. The teacher had once exploded a glass beaker and not on purpose. Arya took her seat and excitedly pulled out her notebook. It was her favorite color: hot pink. She assigned her notebook and folder colors in ways that felt right to her. And since geometry was her favorite subject, she made her notebook and folder for it her favorite color. As the teacher started to go over the most common mistakes from the last quiz, Arya could've swo...

Color palette

Original prompt: "Google "color palette," pick one, and write something inspired by it." I actually Googled "color palette public domain" to be sure I could use it and found the image on this post. I used the "floral" section for my inspiraiton. The soft sunlight somehow didn't dim the shine of the fireflies. Such it was in the fae realm. Fern loved this time of day in the faewild where it wasn't quite day, but it was far from night. Fern frolicked alone in the glade as she was want to do. It didn't matter to her that her laughter carried itself alone on the breeze; she was content. She wasn't sure how long she'd been alone as she watched the suns begin to set, but it was pleasant in its own way. But then, she heard a noise. It wasn't the noise of leaves on the wind or twigs snapping from some comforting creature. It was the noise of someone approaching with grim determination. Fern wasn't sure how to ready herself to ...
