So hey, there’s something you can do to help people who are between a rock and a hard place right now in the US, something fun and potentially delicious:

Go visit local businesses whose usual customers are staying home out of fear of ICE goons.

❝Businesses up and down Lake Street in Minneapolis say they’ve felt a chill, with traffic down as much as 60% in some cases.

Chairs sitting empty on a usually busy Friday at a Latina-owned beauty salon. Produce wilting at Mexican supermarkets because customers are afraid to shop for groceries. Foot traffic disappearing at taco stands and Somali bakeries. Employees afraid to come to work.❞

For your community, for your country: go eat some tasty tacos!
