  • Are you a victim?

    If you are, npr will bend head over heels to share your story, never willing to examine the other side of such stories, narratives. It makes for easy reporting, news gathering, but leaves us all less informed at the end of the day

Mail carriers describe changes on their routes amid ICE activity
Q: Do you feel any safety concerns about just walking the streets?
I feel fortunate to have grown up in Minneapolis and don't personally feel targeted, but I'm aware that other mail carriers of color may face different challenges.
Mail carriers describe changes on their routes amid ICE activity
Q: Artis, where did you get the idea to talk with mail carriers for the post office about what they're seeing on their routes in this moment?
It started because I felt really disconnected from my hometown of Minneapolis and reached out to friends, one of whom was a mail carrier, leading to deeper insights into how neighborhoods are changing.
Could immigration enforcement lead to an eviction crisis?
Q: Where can people call to get help?
People can reach out to 211 or their local community organizations for resources and assistance.

Q: What should people do if they can't pay rent in February?
Look for local community organizations providing help; everyone needs to work together to direct funds to families quickly.
Could immigration enforcement lead to an eviction crisis?
Q: What do you think about a community helping its neighbors?
We've seen community care efforts, but they should not replace government responsibility. As much as there's cash flowing in, it won't be enough without systemic support.
