A digital painting of an ice cube, followed by several hands closed over each other with water pouring from them. Bold text on the art reads: "ICE MELTS".

so don't get too comfortable.

Stop using the tools of the enemy. Please, please, please use my protest animals as icons, headers, banners whatever you want to show your solidarity. I have thrown these pieces out there for people to use, partly to give them something to use from an actual human artist.
I give you permission.

I thought about this a lot when we were all pushing to get kilmar abrego garcia released. I'm glad we got him back but literally NO ONE should be sent to CECOT. They should have ALL been brought back.

Never accept an inch. Never accept their framing. Bring everyone back and abolish DHS.

Reminder that, as of the latest reports, Liam Ramos is still in prison in Texas - now for 5 days.

His parents are legal asylum seekers with no criminal record.

The more I think about it, the more I’m convinced the Democrats have to push their hand immediately. The parallels with the delays and subsequent failures after January 6th are blaring warning signs about what will happen if they don’t go after the issues with ICE and CBP at the root RIGHT NOW.

Wie is J.D. Vance, de First bitch achter president Trump?

Dutch is such a cool language

Everything they learned in Minnesota they’re applying in Maine from day one. They started off doing fast-moving snatch and grabs on the street, recording and using facial id on observers, and threatening observers directly. They’ll do it all where you live too.

Please unfollow the altnps account. It's a do-nothing, disinfo slop mill that's trying to figure out how to Q-Anon the left for future profit, and that is not news.

Three faces that have been in my mind all month, and will likely never leave—and sadly, there will likely be more. People need to start thinking really hard about what’s going on, and as an artist there’s a lot we can do.

Abolish ICE!!!

12 people have been shot and injured or killed by DHS since September.

Four months of shootings and deaths. This doesn't even count the neglect and death in their concentration camps. Fuck. This. Shit.

You know Alex Pretti & Renee Good—the 2 white people ICE killed.

ICE has also killed Keith Porter, a Black man, Parady La, a Cambodian man, & 5 Latinos—Heber Sanchaz Domínguez, Victor Manuel Diaz, Luis Beltran Yanez-Cruz, Luis Gustavo Nunez Caceres, and Geraldo Lunas Campos.

9 TOTAL.

ABOLISH ICE.

let the dam in your heart shatter, and the pain that floods forth compel you to action

“There is a kind of peace that only exists because it refuses to tell the truth. That peace is a lie.”

We’re airing a new campaign ad, starting tomorrow.

Here it is:

TEXT: I was Alex Pretti’s final nursing student. He was my friend and my nursing mentor. For the past four months, I stood shoulder to shoulder with him during my capstone preceptorship at the Minneapolis VA Hospital. There he trained me to care for the sickest of the sick as an ICU nurse. He taught me how to care for arterial and central lines, the intricacies of managing multiple IVs filled with lifesaving solutions, and how to watch over every heartbeat, every breath, and every flicker of life, ready to act the moment they wavered. Techniques intended to heal. Alex carried patience, compassion and calm as a steady light within him. Even at the very end, that light was there. I recognized his familiar stillness and signature calm composure shining through during those unbearable final moments captured on camera. It does not surprise me that his final words were, “Are you okay?” Caring for people was at the core of who he was. He was incapable of causing harm. He lived a life of healing, and he lived it well. Alex believed strongly in the Second Amendment and in the rights rooted in our Constitution and its amendments. He spoke out for justice and peace whenever he could, not only out of obligation, but out of a belief that we are more connected than divided, and that communication would bring us together.

TEXT: I want his family to know his legacy lives on. I am a better nurse because of the wisdom and skills he instilled in me. I carry his light with me into every room, letting it guide and steady my hands as I heal and care for those in need. Please honor my friend by standing up for peace, preferably with a cup of black coffee in hand and a couple of pieces of candy in your pocket, just as he would. He would remind you that caring for others is hard work, and we must do whatever it takes to get through the long shifts. Step outside with your dog, breathe in the world, hike or bike as he loved to do, and let yourself find peace in the quiet moments within nature. Stand up for justice and speak with those whose views differ from your own. Hold your beliefs with strength, but always extend love outward, even in the face of adversity. Take one step, no matter how small, to help heal our world. Through these acts, carry his light forward in his name. Let his legacy continue to heal.

From a FB post about Alex Pretti:

You gotta admit, their names sure are a cosmic coincidence.

Hell yeah, DreamHaven Books. The website is down due to high traffic, but you can check the inventory on Abe Books and buy from Greg direct when the site is back up.

Help shape Seattle’s response to federal threats. Federal policies threaten immigrant communities, LGBTQ+ rights, worker protections, and more. Seattle can protect our communities—but we need to be proactive. Your input will inform Mayor Katie Wilson’s administration as they plan for our city’s future! DATE: Monday, January 26 TIME: 4:30 - 6:00 PM LOCATION: LANGSTON Seattle 104 17th Ave S Seattle, WA 98144 * Spanish & Somali interpretation will be Provided Register at: bit.ly/KWStandingUpForOurRights

TOMORROW, Seattle! If you can attend this town hall at 4:30pm Monday 1/26, please do!

This will be a chance for folks to discuss Seattle's response to federal threats/ICE, including the city's surveillance apparatus. I'm hearing there will be a listening component.

I will support whichever candidate pledges to send Stephen Miller, Kristi Noem, and Greg Bovino to rot in The Hague for the rest of their pathetic, disgusting, miserable lives.

I just want to make it clear that it was *Border Patrol* agents who murdered Alex Pretti, and those fuckers murder people regularly here along the border.

Renee Good´s murderer is also a former Border Patrol agent (currently ICE).

Disband ALL the paramilitary groups and prosecute every member.

Sorry to anybody who followed me because I make video games. I would love to live in a world where video games are the most important thing on my mind. I do not live in that world.

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.

As we grieve for Alex Pretti and Renee Good in MN, please do not forget Victor Manuel Diaz, who died in ICE custody after being taken from here. And all others who have died in their custody.

Pie chart for "Game Development Time Allotment". 5% of the time is "Working on new features." 95% of the time is "Trying to figure out why a feature that worked perfectly fine for months inexplicably stopped working."

Have you ever wondered how time is spent in game development? I've made a handy pie chart to illustrate it.
