We gotta come up with a better system than “everything rests on whether these twelve billionnaires are nice”

Three small drawings: One of a shrine under a pine tree with a stone inside, one of a salamander on the forest floor, one of a coastal path with stone steps, two tall trees, stone columns and two hikers in the distance. The overall feel is very late summer to early autumn.

ok I will stop fiddling with this now

Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning.

Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

“There’s no single answer that will solve all our future problems. There’s no magic bullet. Instead there are thousands of answers—at least. You can be one of them if you choose to be.”

(This post sponsored by my toddler who listens to the Nutcracker March approximately 78 times per day. The number would be higher but we parents have decided that 79 is simply ridiculous.)

My toxic trait is that I can't listen to The Nutcracker without going "doot doodly doot doot doot doot doooooooooo."

Been a while since I posted any pretty finished work.

Here’s a kinda chunky vase I made in the fall. It’s possibly my favourite piece from the last batch, mostly because it was a joy to decorate, rather than being the best looking.

Please, please, please take this as another reminder to get involved with a local org, it is important to have your neighbors back. My neighborhood has a mix of open and shut places, many open are raising money with local orgs. Check out what people in your town/city/neighborhood are doing

I’m going to be shutting my shop down for the day and providing links to places where you can put your money instead.

Do what you can, keep pushing

Senator Calls to Abolish ICE, Says Voting to Fund DHS Supports “Murder” “Anyone who supports funding DHS and ICE is supporting the murder of Americans,” said Sen. Ed Markey.

Sen. Ed Markey has come out swinging in favor of abolishing ICE and blocking funding for the DHS. “Anyone who supports funding DHS and ICE is supporting the murder of Americans. We can stop this. Not one penny more for the Department of Homeland Security.”

House Democrat Says Abolishing ICE Isn’t Enough — DHS Must Go, Too “The problem isn’t ‘training.’ DHS was built to violate our rights,” said Rep. Delia C. Ramirez.

Amid growing calls for the abolition of ICE, Rep. Delia Ramirez is calling for the entire DHS to be dismantled. Highlighting how much experience the officers who killed Renee Good and Alex Pretti had, Ramirez said, “DHS was built to violate our rights and has been empowered to act with impunity.”

Literally my entire state--BEAUTIFUL NEW JERSEY--qualifies as "the border" and it is the most densely populated state in entire country.

This is fucking nothing.

"CBP stays at the border" might sound like a win, but keep in mind that this is what "the border" means to them www.aclumaine.org/know-your-ri...

I don’t think we should make concessions to the Masked Murderers Guild of America. I don’t think we should compromise so the Masked Murderers Guild of America stops using kidnapped kids from schools as bait. I thought this was already illegal. The Masked Murderers Guild of America should not exist.

A map of the 100 mile "Border Enforcement Zone" - CBP in america claims a jurisdiction of 100 miles of a U.S. border, which means their enforcement area includes New York City & Seattle & Chicago & Milwaukee & Boston & Anchorage & Washington D.C., etc

When they tell you "CBP stays at the border," this is what they mean:

There's apparently body cam footage of Alex's murder. Do people know this?

This lets you know that a demand for body cams is USELESS and in fact just a way to give more money to the killers.

An illustration of Paul Bunyan, the giant American mythic lumberjack, giving one ICE agent a wedgie, and punting another with a shoe. Another ICE agent has just slipped and eaten shit on the ground, without anyone’s help. The text reads PAUL BUNYAN SEZ FUCK ICE.

Paul Bunyan sez FUCK ICE.

BTW when I say abolish ICE, I mean abolish it entirely and replace it with exactly nothing. Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free. That's it.

MINNESOTA VERSION OF COME OUT YE BLACK AND TANS

Jonathan Ross—the ICE fascist who killed Renee Good—is an 18-year ICE veteran, firearms instructor, & active shooter trainer.

The people claiming "ICE needs more training" are missing the point. Ross's 2 DECADES of training IS what led him to execute Good. ICE Training IS the problem.

Abolish ICE.

You don’t know your role yet maybe, but we are all finding out just what we have to offer.

In Minneapolis, one man knew immediately what he could offer and said “Bring me your clothing”.

really ashamed to live in a country that elected fascist goons to suppress its own citizens

really proud to live in a country with the ordinary people of Minneapolis

Defund ICE (UPDATED 1/21) - HOUSE VOTE THURSDAY ⭑ 5 Calls Updates January 21, 2026: The House is expected to vote this week on a standalone appropriations bill for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). …

An email starting with “for your consideration: Nuremberg”

This studio awards-season email is really matching the current mood in a way I’m not sure they intended.

If you live in Hakeem Jeffries district can you please call him and ask how many more Minnesotans need to die before he takes meaningful action to abolish ICE?

Call your reps. Let them know that if they vote for ICE funding, you will not vote for them ever again.

Representatives need to feel the heat. NO on ICE funding. No excuses.

Remember when that absolute fool of a politician tried to suggest a bill that ICE wear QR codes instead of name and ID number patches like literally everyone else and I said it would be the work of minutes for them to dummy up their own QR codes to access your phones?

I meant this.
