What to do if ICE knocks on your door.
You will need a Twitter acct to see this.
They may say they are police or looking for someone.
Don't open the door, don't say anything, don't sign anything, let them pass it under the door.
Contact
your lawyer or ACLU. Take photos of whatever document they shove under
door. It's supposed to be for illegal aliens only, but legal aliens
and even citizens may get harassed, even though T said he won't go ahead
with mass arrests as he planned tomorrow (Sunday).
Above all don't panic.

Burma Translation Society
The Burma
Translation Society governing council in 1954 including many of the leading
writers of the time. Standing (from l to r): U San Htwa, U Ba, U Khin Zaw, U
Myo Min, U Thein Han, U Kaung, U Wun, U Thant Sitting (from l to r): Dr Htin
Aung, Education Minister U Than Aung, retired Supreme Court Chief Justice Sir
Mya Bu, Prime Minister U Nu, Finanace Minister U Tin, Supreme Court Justice U E
Maung, U Cho. The semi-official Society's main mission was to make outside
knowledge available to the Burmese people. In 1954 they had just published the
first volume of the "Encyclopedia Burmanica"; when the book first
arrived by ship at the Brooking Street wharf, U Nu and most of the cabinet were
there to greet the ship. U Nu believed that the country was suffering from an "ever
increasing number of ignoramuses and Mr Zeros" and that only the spread of
knowledge and education could make possible genuine development.

Africa--
Just by chance I am blogging about these 2 together.
Last summer I missed Bele Bele Drums when they came to the Village Center, but this year I decided I must go.
Fantastic all woman drumming group, some of the compositions where given to them as gifts or specially composed for them.
In Africa, one of the audience members said, no women ever play the drums.
But these women do-- "That's why we are here."
I liked best a Yoruba prayer which they sang.
They're set up as a non-profit and if you have the chance, go and listen. They have a website.
--
I read Ngugi Wa Thiong'o's Wizard of the Crow some years ago, and I love it.
I like it better than Chinua Echebe, whose writing I don't quite understand.
But I loved Alan Paton's Cry the Beloved Country.
Also, Death and the King's Horseman, ny Nobel Laureate Wole Soyinka, a really magnificent play.
I
also saw a production at Arena Stage and stood a couple of hours with
my back propped against a bookshelf to see Soyinka in person.
The only other person I've stood like this for is Daw Aung San Suu Kyi.
When I asked him for advice about how to deal with Burma, he said, "Be wise."
It
was interesting that a little VOA guy tried to run rings around the
Nobel Laureate, which seems to be a VOA or RFA thing, "friendly fire" as
my co-worker called it. The small doggies always go bonkers when they
see a big hillock or a fire hydrant.
Soyinka squashed the small man with one sentence, "I never said that."
-
Something is taken way from us by colonialism, or a lot is, but also something is given back.
Anyway, I had such a bad experience suffering from
job harassment from the probably junta-inclined Burmese boss at the
radio station on M St, I have vowed never to write in Burmese again, and
never even speak much of it. I'm a writer and an artist. It's my
choice what media and language I decide to use.
And that's my post for today.

Quote from Slate--We want to see d j t shrink, but--
.” Rosenow
has established deep bonds with a number of immigrant families from Veracruz,
Mexico. “We have members from three different families, and they have been
providing us with labor for 20 years now,” he said. “They are highly skilled.
They know how to do everything.”
After
decades of working alongside immigrants, Rosenow has learned to admire their
discipline. “If you’re a dairy farmer, you have a certain kind of work ethic,”
he told me. “I work a lot. All the time. They have the same thing.” When I
asked him what would happen if Trump’s allegedly massive raids reached
Wisconsin and swept away many of the immigrants who work in the state’s dairy
industry, Rosenow didn’t hesitate. “Within days there wouldn’t be any milk on
the shelves,” he assured me. “There would be no people to milk the cows. A lot
of the cows would go to slaughter and the industry would downsize by at least 50
percent. There would be a shortage of milk, cheese, and butter within maybe a
week.”
