🧶 #MemoryMondays | The Door
✍️ Khanum Gevorgyan

She counted down to zero.
At zero, the door would open.
Her father home from Russia—
a taped duffel bag, Russian chocolates, relief.

A childhood shaped by migration, war, and waiting.

🧶 #MemoryMondays | The Power of Other Worlds
✍️ Jennifer Patico

What did “the West” feel like at ten? Shiny catalogues. Colourful photos. Forbidden makeup. Cold War hierarchies lived through desire, shame & growing up.

What If the Climate Crisis Is Already Built into Academic Life? Across universities worldwide, an expanding constellation of scholars, centers, laboratories, and initiatives is emerging to study planetary crisis, social transformation, and the limits of modern way...

What if academic life is carbon-coded? Mobility. Speed. Output. AI. Prestige. Growth. We question the fossil-fueled assumptions organizing scholarship itself.

She wasn’t asleep.
She just knew not to open her eyes.

A child, a border, a hidden magazine.

We are deciding right now whether we want to be a country with ethnic cleansing and concentration camps.

Bad Bunny condemns ICE during his #GRAMMYs speech for Best Música Urbana Album:

“Before I say thanks to god, I’m going to say, ICE out. We’re not savages, we’re not animals, we are humans and we are Americans.”

Billie Eilish during her #GRAMMYs speech for Song of the Year:

“As grateful as I feel, I don’t need to say anything except that, no one is illegal on stolen land. It’s really hard to know what to say and what to do right now, I feel hopeful in this room and we need to keep protesting… fuck ICE.”

🧶 #MemoryMondays | Smuggling Jewelry
✍️ Tatyana Kleyn

A child leaves Soviet Riga with a red sweater, a teddy bear—
and an amber necklace hidden inside.

As immigration crackdowns intensify worldwide,
this memory reminds that children still carry what adults cannot.

Huh. This entire administration is an Epstein Island afterparty.

Damn proud of Minnesota.

A Soviet childhood of exile, escape, and quiet revolt.
Remembering as refusal - and return.

Walz: "What's happening in MN defies belief. News reports simply don't do justice to the level of chaos & disruption & trauma the federal govt is raining down... This long ago stopped being a matter of immigration enforcement. Instead, it's a campaign of organized brutality against the people of MN"

Maduro in Minneapolis Murderous Lies

The Trump administration is excusing murder by ICE using the same lies as those told by Maduro’s regime. These lies are part of the logic of death squads. Govt controls the story & the next murder is easier. And suddenly this is normal and people simply disappear.

Today the Pentagon censured Senator Mark Kelly and moved to strip part of his earned military retirement benefits for stating the truth.

This administration is trying to convince Americans that truth is whatever it says it is—even when the evidence is plainly in front of us.
