Not to be THAT feminist, but I knew this was the case before opening the article. Men see fatherhood as an abstract milestone that's a proof of their virility, women see the associated costs.
Not to mention that women not being locked into domesticity is the core of the antifeminist backlash today.

We just received a large and urgent need for an ICE-impacted family who owes $3500 for February and March rent plus late utilities.

Let's go.
Itβs day 89 of the ICE occupation of MN.
It may seem as if everyone in MN is furiously raising rent for our neighbors, trying to prevent a massive eviction crisis on top of the federal occupation.
Thatβs because Minnesotans know that we keep each other safe, and no one is coming to save us.
okay hereβs a big one. this minneapolis middle school in an underserved area needs some real love to the tune of $27K. every little bit helps families pay march rent. can we put a dent in this?

"Since Trump began his second term, at least 31 out of the 64 lawyers at the Minnesota U.S. Attorneyβs Office quit or retired...wip[ing] out nearly half of the officeβs criminal and civil teams and most of its top managers. Five administrators also quit."

NEW: We obtained 911 audio from the Texas detention center housing hundreds of immigrant kids and their parents.
Since mid-September, EMS crews have been dispatched to Dilley at least 11 times to treat children in medical distress.
Burning fevers. Low oxygen. Seizures. A broken leg.
My report:
An official letter from the Kansas Division of Vehicles dated February 23, 2026, with a redacted recipient address. The letter notifies the recipient that due to the enactment of Senate Bill 244, all Kansas driver's licenses and IDs must reflect the holder's sex at birth. It states that the recipient's current credential will become invalid immediately upon the law's publication on February 26, 2026, with no grace period. The recipient is directed to surrender their current ID to receive a new one matching their sex assigned at birth. The document concludes with instructions on how to appeal the notice if received in error, along with contact information for the department.
Kansas is sending letters to trans people telling them that their licenses will be revoked as of tomorrow and that they risk arrest for driving on a suspended license.
This is pure cruelty.

NEW: Guards have taken away crayons, colored pencils & paper during recent room searches at Dilley, according to detainees and others. After one inspection, the children just βcried and cried and cried,β a mother said. The facility denies the claims.

we should all just call them Abolish ICE. becuse that's what the winner would've actually been.
Very chill. Very cool. Not at all insane.

My uncle, Diego, was kidnapped and deported by ICE as he was delivering pizza in December. He had a work visa and was the co-owner of American Pie. This go fund me will go towards helping bringΒ him back home, legal fees, rent and necessities, and support for the small business.

As a historian of Christianity let me tell you that Christians throughout history have absolutely loved persecuting other Christians. There is no period in which this isnβt true
BUT also note that the opposite is also true! Thereβs no period in history where care for the stranger was absent

I received notification of yet another death at an ICE facility, meaning 38 people have died in custody since Trump returned to office.
ICE is failing to ensure the health and safety of the people it is responsible for.
We need immediate oversight of this entire operation.
Josmar Sozaβs father has been in ICE custody since December 3, 2025 after he was kidnapped in MN. He was on his way to work and now his children are without a father. The funds will help pay for lawyer fees and family necessities.

Tell you what Iβm OVER: The patronizing framing of feature stories marveling at how moms are throwing down right now for their communities. Come on. Theyβre constantly doing this emotional labor, planning, and work. It is not a stretch to assume their *skills* can be put to use on a larger scale.
Pro-bono lawyers are increasingly difficult to find, and our group of neighbors is working to raise the funds by her due date, Feb 25.
If we can raise at least $8K by then, she has a fighting chance of living a life free of fear and staying in the U.S. with her family.
Like you, Iβve been contributing to othersβ efforts to fundraise for their neighborsβ survival.
Now Iβm asking you to help my own neighbor.
Sheβs trying to fight removal proceedings and reopen her asylum case, and needs $ for legal costsβ$3,035 of $8K raised so far.
