Residents are searching the parks because ICE is dumping heavily injured detainees in the middle of the parks; three confirmed, five unconfirmed, one with a skull fracture and open head wound.

His not being impeached by the end of the business day as a result of this threat is as much a problem as the threat itself. It’s not just Trump that the world has to worry about, it’s a GOP that supports him and Democrats who suck their thumbs and refuse to even discuss pushing to remove him

I have done so little For you. And you have do little For me. That we have good reason Never to agree. I, however, Have such meagre power, Clutching at a Moment, While you control An hour. But your hour is A stone. My moment is A flower. -Langston Hughes, "Poet to Bigot"

I, however,
Have such meagre power,

Clutching at a
Moment,

While you control
An hour.

But your hour is
A stone.

My moment is
A flower.

#everynightapoem As ever.

In a lot of ways, I'm really lucky. I work from home. I write and draw books. I still experience a lot of the same normal creative issues. I'm burned out. My current project frustrates me. But a few things in my routine have changed. Me: Hey, mom. Are the cousins okay? How's grandma? And your sisters? Me: Oh, good. Yeah. Okay, that's good. I'll call you later. Watching Bob's Burgers on repeat while I work.

My friends check in from time to time. Text: I got rubber-bulleted by ICE just on my way back from work. Ouch. Text: Hey I'm gonna observe tomorrow at the protest. I'll text every hour, and if you don't hear from me, please call [number] and give them my identifying information. I'd probably be at the Whipple. Okay? Text: They knocked on my door, but I'm okay. I demanded a signed judicial warrant, and they couldn’t provide one, so they left. I’m worried all the time.

Very little in the news feels encouraging. Headline: Mayor Kaohly Her says she was told to carry a passport amid ICE operations in Minnesota St. Paul Mayor elect Kaobly Her says her office received reports of federal agents going door-to-door asking where the Asian people are. KARE11 January 16, 2026

And it makes me feel utterly untethered from reality when I have to live like this and just get back to work and draw my stupid little cartoons. Nothing else feels real or important right now. But my neighbors are doing such a great job staying engaged and finding needs to meet. Text: I'm running to Costco and picking up some canned goods to run to the food shelf. Let me know if you want to donate anything. Text: I'll throw in for some canned goods! Text: Me too! Text from me: What's your Venmo? I can contribute.

Things continue.

US appeals court pauses lower court order restraining immigration agents' use of force against Minnesota protesters The 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals paused a lower court's order on Wednesday that had restrained federal immigration agents' use of force against peaceful protesters.

8th circuit gives ICE go ahead to use force against peaceful demonstrators, a decision which will immediately lead to injury.

i just don't believe that immigration enforcement should have a $100M marketing budget. sorry

They tried to smear him as an antisemite – but Mayor Zohran Mamdani walks in a rich Jewish tradition | Molly Crabapple When I look at Mamdani, I don’t see some radical departure. I see him as an heir to the Yiddish socialism that helped build New York

"Mamdani walks in an older Jewish tradition. Not that of ritzy Upper East Side synagogues, but of so many of our great-grandparents: the socialist sweatshop workers who fought for a better and more beautiful world." www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Mayor Mamdani has nullified every executive order issued by Eric Adams after he struck his corrupt bargain with Trump to secure dismissal of the indictment against him.

The blame for alleged fraud in Minnesota belongs to conservatives Privatization and a lack of oversight creates a vicious cycle.

New in PN: The blame for alleged fraud in Minnesota belongs to conservatives

"Republican policies have created a perfect vicious cycle: Privatize services, let private companies run amok, then declare that the government is the problem. And the Trump administration is turbo-charging it."

Weaponizing antisemitism makes students 'less safe,' says drafter of definition Kenneth Stern, who drafted a widely used definition of antisemitism, says the Trump administration is using antisemitism claims to stifle speech and debate on the Middle East on college campuses.

also, this isn't a one-off from stern, he's been trying to get people to listen for a while

The Times identified 120+ instances in which guards were described as having punched, kicked or stomped on inmates, smashed their fingers in cell doors, held their legs apart and struck their genitals with batons, and even waterboarded them — all while they were handcuffed or otherwise restrained.
