School feeding programs lead to modest but meaningful results, according to review
https://phys.org/news/2025-12-school-modest-meaningful-results.html
Last Wednesday, ICE deployed tear gas at Roosevelt High School, scuffled with students, and handcuffed staff. It’s still not clear to me who they were targeting in that incident, or whether anyone was abducted. Regardless, •everyone• at the high school was in danger.
Based on local behavior since Wed, I have every reason to think that there will be more of these incidents, and that they may in fact begin directly targeting schools (either students, or parents transporting them).

It’s still unclear to me whether that incident was •targeting• the high school or merely •next to• the high school. I’ve heard conflicting reports from neighbors on that. One rumor is that school staff were abducted, but I don’t yet have solid confirmation on that I trust. I’ve also heard that Bovino was personally present at that raid / attack at the high school.
Either way…yeah, you can see why they’d cancel school.

My stretch of doing no serious snow clearance is now over a year, despite the many inches of slush that fell Tuesday night.
I woke up yesterday (sleeping in a bit because K’s school was cancelled) to the sound of a snowblower, too loud to be any of the neighbors. But it *was* one of my neighbors, clearing my sidewalk, driveway, and wheelchair ramp.
Sometimes people just do nice things.

Apparently ICE abducted parents and just left their young kids just sitting there alone, unassisted and unattended — in not one but •two• separate incidents in the Twin Cities in the last few days.
In one case, they left school-age kids alone in the house after a pre-dawn raid. In another, they snatched a father driving his kids home and just left the kids there in the car.
In both cases, the kids are OK — but only because strangers came along to help.

Part of the answer is that the district has given all students the option to stay home and do remote learning for the next month. Good. I mean, that really sucks for the families doing it, it sucks that any families are boxed into that corner — but good for the district coming up with that option.
That doesn’t mean that school is safe, however — not even for families who aren’t being targeted by ICE.

Thousands of public schoolteachers in San Francisco went on strike on Monday,
the first public schoolteachers strike in the city in nearly 50 years.
The strike comes after teachers and the district failed to reach an agreement over higher wages,
health benefits and more resources for special needs students.

and said it would offer independent study to some of the district’s 50,000 students.

To be clear, the ICE attack at the high school happened in the afternoon, some 4-5 hours •after• they murdered Renee Good. ICE paused nothing when the news broke.
