I wrote an account that captures some of Minneapolis life right now amid ICE's occupation, the atrocities they wreck onto our communities, and the resistance Minnesotans have waged against it. Thank you @clereviewbooks.bsky.social for publishing!

Spout Press stands in solidarity with everyone targeted by ICE's occupation of Minnesota, and with the family of Renee Good.
We want to amplify the work of organizations leading the resistance to ICE on the ground and mutual aid networks supporting affected families. Links and info in the comments

another Trump administration that openly seeks to begin a new era of colonization, while twisting the language of oppression to censor BIPOC, Trans, and queer people, and anyone that allies with them.
I’ve been holding our conversation tight as a reminder of language as a potent tool for 2/4
It was an honor to interview @santisugi.bsky.social about decolonial poetics in his new book Small Wars Manual, forthcoming @milkweededitions.bsky.social
Our conversation on language's erasure and changing context hits uncannily now in the first weeks of 1/4
