ICE crackdown leaves many international adoptees scrambling to prove their citizenship
It was a chilly January morning when a group of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents walked into a Hennepin County clinic and started asking about employee Hannah Beyers. The officers did not explain why they were asking and left when they realized it was Beyers’ day off. After she learned about the visit, Beyers speculated it was a matter of racial profiling — she was adopted from South Korea decades earlier.
Tennessee must repeal the death penalty and support victims | Opinion Original

Removal of Rainbow Canopy Ordered by Bristol City Council
The Bristol City Council ordered the removal of a family’s rainbow painted awning installed to celebrate LGBTQ+ rights and the NHS. The council cited concerns that the “incongruent” color palette may have an “adverse impact” on the “character and appearance” of the city’s Georgian architecture and conservation areas. Concerns about a vivid canopy stealing the spotlight from the muted, albeit heteronormative, beige bricks surrounding it may very well be valid. Rainbows tend to pop more than beige.

Anyone who has traveled to a new place, been caught off-guard or seen their preferred brand sell out knows how hard it can be to make the switch to an unfamiliar product.
