Human Rights Watch has produced a series of videos to familiarize immigrants in the US of their rights in interactions with ICE: https://www.wehaverights.us/
With reports that sweeping raids may be scheduled for this weekend, now is a good time to point any immigrants you know to this info.

I currently work and live in central Missouri, where there's a lot of flooding; most of the locals say it hasn't been this bad since 1993.
PBS has a list of resources at https://www.pbs.org/newshour/nation/how-to-help-those-affected-by-the-midwest-flooding, and I'm looking to see if Mutual Aid Disaster Relief has any operations out here.
If anyone's interested in helping me out, or can point me in a good direction, please drop me a line.

Academic double standards from the old guard and my whining about it

So far, only two of my five students have turned anything in that’s even remotely professional and I feel like an utter failure as an educator.
