ICE surge in western Wisconsin echoes trauma, intimidation of Twin Cities
Volunteers have raised money to pay rent, coordinated rides to school for children and donated groceries and household supplies.
Community defense is different here. Scary. Lonely. There's (some) safety in numbers, and they're hard to come by in our red exurban and rural communities.
We're standing up anyway.
So, today's front page print headline seemed quite fitting:
Emotion, defiance as ICE roams western WI
FUCK ICE.

I am so fucking tired of spending time and resources and brainpower and emotional bandwidth to support organizations that cower behind platitudes and invisible protocols instead of joining their communities where they are. In summary, fuuuuuuuck this.

I’d just like to remind all of us who are scrambling to get rents paid that this is manufactured scarcity.
We absolutely have the money and the tools to prevent this crisis: the wealth and power brokers are just refusing.

I really don’t know why I’m so sad that these hockey guys aren’t even sorry. I should know better.

When a hockey team pisses away all the goodwill they generated in 48 hours flat, we call it Milkshake Puck.

If the USA Women’s Hockey team wants a real celebration and invite ,,, I’ll host them in Las Vegas. Do some nice dinners and shows and good times.
I’m sure I can get a hotel and airline to help me out here and celebrate these women for real for real. 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
