Today it briefly went to +2°C in the afternoon.
There was still ice and compressed snow on the road, with bits of slush dragged in by cars. The annoying part when it's this warm is the snow packs into your soles and sucks the heat out. Gotta reach a door mat to stomp the slush off.
Thursday it goes back down to -18°C with fresh snowfall. That could disrupt flights (de-icing delays), so I guess I need to clear out Wednesday.
“What happened in Jackson Heights fits a larger pattern: small-scale #ICE operations are happening at a faster clip than the dramatic, highly publicized raids that dominate national #news. These are more surgical actions, often taking place in #NewYork’s boroughs, where agents can maneuver more easily than in dense downtown Manhattan”

Mamdani tells immigrant New Yorkers about their right not to comply with ICE
> New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani posted a video to social media on Sunday explaining immigrants' right to refuse to speak to or comply with agents from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, days after federal agents carried out a raid in Manhattan.
> In the video, Mamdani vowed to protect the city's 3 million immigrants, saying, “We can all stand up to ICE if you know your rights.” https://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/zohran-mamdani-tells-immigrant-new-yorkers-comply-ice-128194280 #ZohranMamdani #ICE #MAGA
I have a thought: In light of the #ICE #Gestapo #abductions going on throughout the U.S., it's possible that the REASON the #2A Gunhumpers crying for decades about the threat of #GovernmentOverreach being the reason they need all their guns, have been REAL QUIET for several months, is that.....now just go with me on this one....I know it sounds like a stretch....but MAYBE they're ACTUALLY the ones doing all the kidnapping.
I know....hard to believe, right?
*not hard to believe at all.

It's actually nice to see BlueSky now dropping its mask and subjugating itself to authoritarian self-censorship over disappearing of US residents by ICE.
Corporations will almost always subjugate themselves under government pressure because they're here to make money, not to defend free speech.

Wir hatten ja gerade das Thema das dass #fediverse eine bessere Wahl ist als #blueSky ist.
Aktuell spukt die Meldung herum dass man nun zwingend sein Geburtsdatum angeben muss...
Und (viel schlimmer) dass hier #USA bereits verbrechen von #ICE Zensieren

Is it moral for #ICE to apprehend and deport people whose only offense was crossing the border without documentation? Is it moral to impede ICE from doing so?
@PhoenixSerenity And this has been going on before #TrumpSucks and #KristiNoem !
#LGBTQ+ asylum seekers detail harsh conditions and abuse in #ICE custody
A new study found that the majority of LGBTQ+ detainees interviewed experienced harassment while being detained.
Kate Sosin, August 21, 2024
Excerpt: "The detainees’ allegations align with past claims made by LGBTQ+ advocates questioning ICE’s ability to safely detain queer asylum seekers. In 2018, #transgender #Honduran migrant #RoxanaHernández died in ICE custody from complications of pneumonia and AIDS, setting off months of protests and calls for investigations into the agency. The Daily Beast later reported that it was likely Hernández had been physically abused in custody.
"Later that year, advocates successfully lobbied for the release of gay #Nigerian asylee #UdokaNweke, who reported having a severe mental health crisis at Adelanto ICE Processing Center in Southern California. Nweke’s release was soon followed by the 2019 death of another transgender detainee, #JohanaMedinaLeón, who had complained of chest pains when entering custody.
"That same year, 29 trans women detained in a pod in New Mexico released a statement through the advocacy organization Trans Queer Pueblo claiming that they were languishing in dire conditions.
" 'Several of us are also not receiving needed medications,' the women wrote. 'Some officials mistreat us daily, verbally, and psychologically assaulting us.'
"In January 2020, 45 members of Congress sent a letter to ICE demanding the release of all of its transgender detainees, claiming that the agency failed to safely house them by exposing them to sexual and physical violence. Three dozen former detainees reiterated that call in a letter to President Joe Biden the following year.
"But advocates say the issue has gained little traction as former President Donald Trump takes aim at asylum-seekers and immigrants find themselves in the crosshairs of heated political debate."
