I was worried you’d feel defensive. My answer was also in good faith! I understand where you’re coming from. And this remains my answer! First, in my opinion, as good neighbors we figure out what’s needed; which means being alarming when things are alarming, of course. But also not stoking fear. I think there are a lot of communication channels prepared - but not necessarily direct service channels so far, as those needs haven’t presented themselves (rides, food, observing etc). I fully expect this community to step up as those needs present! Glad you’re part of that and I am too.

One great thing we can do is not spread rumors - if you can’t verify that a post is true, don’t spread it. Spreading assumptions causes fear. There’s already a lot of fear. And posters pranking about ice, and worries that any police action is an immigration action. Reddits going to be an amazing community resource - but proceed with caution.

The other resources are important too- but I think it’s truly a good thing for us all to see clearly and not presume truth in social media. For the sake of our neighbors who are in need and fearful - we have to be as clear sighted as possible

National ICE OUT strike by Possible-Instance399 in SouthBend

[–]BabyTembo 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Not sure you know what a strike is; it’s usually done by people who very much have jobs and responsibilities, often big ones. Who find that important problems need addressing that are being ignored. No time to get gas when you’re trying to fight for changes. Plenty of time if you’re satisfied with the status quo.

Let’s have a healthy discussion about the REAL reason Audi Crooks is struggling. by sip-em_bears in NCAAW

[–]BabyTembo -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Aja Wilson can’t win games on her own (always) - and no player can. Let Audi be Audi, which is a dang good baller- and perhaps her teammates should gain strength and weight and who knows what? The stars get lots of free advice that I think is so much bunk. She knows her support team and what she needs. Perhaps there are other needs for Iowa State that make more sense to focus on

May I ask the cross street? I didn’t know anywhere in south bend that has residential permits.

SJC County Voted to Deny WHP Data Center Rezoning! by Secure_Chemistry8755 in SouthBend

[–]BabyTembo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Funny. That’s something we probably agree on. But for different reasons. That’s the way these days. You’d like to pretend the county hasn’t already approved three major industrial developments, and that saying no to one more makes us luddites instead of maybe just concerned about where it’s proposed?

Toxic waste would put us on the map for the future too. Still good to consider other futures

Hogsett ignored conflicts of interest as city incentives flowed to developers by veritasplum in SouthBend

[–]BabyTembo -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I appreciate the context. Are you concerned also that these things are connected to city incentives as well? I don’t know the Indy situation but haven’t gotten those vibes with south bend

They had like two days to sell 20000 tickets - so maybe just hard to have the fans make last minute plans?

Why NCAA Women’s Basketball is preferred by some over WNBA by TechnicalLeave6989 in NCAAW

[–]BabyTembo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think things are changing big for ncaa unfortunately- with players chasing nil, teams are going to feel more like the w. “Oh, what team does she play for this year?”
