A photo of my sketchbook and some colored pencils, the page features a drawing of an orange whistle surrounded by blue handwriting. Each sentence begins with "I'm worried..." and reflects on the countless hardships caused by ongoing ICE occupation of Minnesota.

The college where I teach has cancelled classes and switched to remote learning because we cannot guarantee the physical safety of students on campus.

Not due to a pandemic or natural disaster β€” but to protect them from our own government, whose armed agents murdered a man just two blocks away.
