Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning.

Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

It always feels like all the wrong people die, but I think it’s because there are far more beloved people than there are bastards.

34,000 signing up for this work AFTER seeing their fellow citizens gunned down by federal thugs in cold blood? I'm chugging whatever the opposite of doomerism is

“Interview with a Spooky Scary Skeleton”

“It’s worse than people think,” said attorney Eric Lee, who tried to visit clients at Dilley on Saturday. “The water is putrid. They have to mix baby formula with water that nobody wants to even smell. The food has bugs in it. The food has dirt in it.”

This administration is stark raving mad, and it is controlled by men - Vance, Miller, Bovino - are all-but-publicly taking orders from neo-Nazis bent on violent removal of nonwhite Americans. The admin barely hides many of these links. And it is driving a campaign of ethnic violence in our country.

I know all eyes are on Minneapolis, but there's a fast-approaching nightmare in Springfield, Ohio.

Trump is revoking protected status for tens of thousands of Haitians living there on Feb. 3.

Reportedly, on Feb. 4, 1000 ICE agents are arriving to remove this population. Ethnic cleansing.

Update: The Trans bathroom bounty hunter bill in Kansas has just passed the Kansas House.

They have rushed it to the Senate for passage.

If it passes, the most extreme anti-trans bill in the nation is about to be sent to the Governor's desk.

every time someone has asked me the last week or so about priorities it is rental assistance. please please please people need rent to stay in their homes. scroll down to rent relief funds and pick something www.standwithminnesota.com

Friends, I recommend you ALL get on the phones and or send emails first thing tomorrow telling @democrats.senate.gov NO FUNDING FOR ICE. NONE.

They are, per Chris Coons, planning to negotiate body cameras. This willl not change the violence, the invasions of our cities.

Donate to Critical Rent Assistance for Central Neighborhood Families, organized by Sara Huelle As ICE continues to move with deadly force through Minneapolis,… Sara Huelle needs your support for Critical Rent Assistance for Central Neighborhood Families

here's a great way to show up for Minneapolis families sheltering in place! it can be hard to sort through a zillion donation links but this fundraiser is confirmed “verified, urgent, and there’s a secure distribution plan in place” and is also, bonus, tax-deductible

There’s a rally going on in Boston rn and they’re chanting “we’re not cold, we’re not afraid, MN taught us to be brave!” and I might cry

Statement from Michael and Susan Pretti Parents of Alex Jeffrey Pretti “We are heartbroken but also very angry. Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately, he will not be with us to see his impact. I do not throw around the ‘hero’ term lightly. However, his last thought and act was to protect a woman. The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump’s murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He had his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down, all while being pepper sprayed. Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you.

"Please get the truth out about our son."

How To Help if You are Outside Minnesota Last edited January 22, 2026 I’m going to assume that if you’re reading this, you more or less understand the situation in Minnesota and I don’t have to explain it to you! That sa…

If you’re outside of Minnesota and you’re wondering how to help, this guide is excellent.

And seriously. Take down your Ring doorbell TODAY.

I attempted to go to an ICE patrol training here in LA this morning and they had to turn most of us away because of capacity issues and even as I was leaving I saw a ton more folks showing up

so that’s how well their attempts to scare everyone away are going, even in the face of murder

Okay sorry one more shot:

The first General Strike in 80 years We're at war, and now people are fighting back like never before

Today is the day. Right now hundreds of Minnesota businesses and institutions are shut down. Thousands of people are refusing to work. There’s a massive picket at the airport. Minnesota’s resistance to ICE today is changing the tenor our fight against fascism.

I have been actively involved in protest movements for 24 years. I have never seen anything approaching this scale. Minneapolis is not accepting what's happening here. ICE fucking murdered a woman for participating in this, and all that did is bring out more people, from more walks of life.

You can check out my review of Scarlet Morning by @gingerhaze.bsky.social over on the @childrensbooksireland.ie website. Hugely imaginative with a creative blend of illustration and text.

ICE must be abolished. It has become a lawless, rogue agency. Federal law enforcement agencies must follow the law, if they're going to have any credibility enforcing it.

We are demanding justice for Renee Good and the prosecution of ICE agent Jonathan Ross for her murder.

Happening Now: Students have walked out of school and are protesting against ICE in Saint Paul, Minnesota

Jason is the City Councilperson for this area, please give to this and follow him if you want to hear from someone who is out there in the streets defending his constituents every day.

ive seen more articles this week about how the phrase “abolish ice” could hurt dems in the midterms than ive seen articles about how paramilitary death squads terrorizing cities will hurt republicans in the midterms

Having seen several abductions up close, it is really hard to convey how much the thing they’re doing is roaming in military convoys until they see someone who is alone and isn’t white, and then jumping out in large numbers, pulling them into a van, and screeching off, all in 90 seconds or so.

I just finished Scarlet Morning by @gingerhaze.bsky.social and wow what a book! Such a wildly imaginative and fun and sweet adventure, looking forward to what comes next

Resistance needs to come from everywhere

ICE in northeast LA, including Cypress Park, Glassell Park, and Atwater Village

The cover of Scarlet Morning by ND Stevenson. Two teens in ragged nautical clothes, one holding a book and one a lantern. Clouds of salt, and behind them, a woman in shadow, a blood-red sun, ship's masts, and birds.

Finished the beautiful Scarlet Morning by @gingerhaze.bsky.social, an amazing upper middle grade I can only describe as like One Piece crossed with the Southern Reach series. Gorgeous art, an inclusive cast, wild and intriguing worldbuilding. You gotta read this!

I've volunteered for Second Harvest Heartland a lot, they're a real one. Remember cash is always best to donate for food banks because they can bulk order food at a way better rate than we can buy at grocery stores.
