"Recession Indicators"

Everything's supposedly a "recession indicator" nowadays. "recession indicator" this, "recession indicator" that, it's usually over pretty frivolous stuff too. I always take the phrase with a grain of salt.

But the other day I got one of those "cash for gold" type ads before a YouTube video. I haven't even one of those since Obama was in office! A true, actual, genuine recession indicator if I've ever seen one. We are so cooked!

Anti-ICE Resources

I considered adding these to my next post, but I think this is really important and I don't want it to get buried underneath a bunch of unrelated stuff.

These are some online resources I've amassed over the last month or so related to protecting your community from ICE. Some are location specific while some aren't. Many of these are available in both English and Spanish, but some are available in other languages as well.

• ICE Out of New York- "A coalition of immigrant rights organizations demanding an end to the brutal ICE operations in NY."
• MN Community Response Resources
• MONARCA Rapid Response Line
• People Over Papers - Tracks ICE activity
• Red Cards - Printable cards that let you know your rights
• Resources for Whistle Warriors - Google Drive with resources on making, distributing, and using whistles. Also Includes zines and flyers that you can print out yourself!
• tools.kyr.digital - Tools for immigration advocates
  • SALUTE - Form for reporting ICE activity

Not exclusive to ICE but still helpful:

• National Lawyers Guild Know Your Risks
• Sanctuary Campus Network - "A coalition of students, faculty, and staff organizing to protect and support those most vulnerable against state repression and violence under the current administration."
