Daines waited until the last moment to keep voters out of the loop--selfish and slimy as always. Kurt Alme has Trump's endorsement already, and he filed with 3 minutes to spare.

The GOP situation must be dire; Daines is slithering out of the Senate. Meanwhile, Sheehy, that opportunistic dolt, broke a man's arm today.

That's what Montana voters asked; the answer is "a cute little paper doll Steve Daines got on the ballot and bankrolled who has no legislative experience and will follow orders without moral compunction. A perfect Trump pet."

Last night I was down a rabbit hole of why fish can't exist deeper than around 8000 meters and I realized that the deepest a fish has ever gone in the ocean and survived was in a submersible. The fish were people. All vertebrates are fish.

I hope this helps with ~~the horrors~~

I don't think it is only our job to teach students how to read long novels; it may also be our jobs to teach them how to live without an online surveillance state. To learn without intrusive apps. To swap notes. To write in a book's margins. To exist in their communities in slow, clunky, human ways.

Video of the ICE-kidnapping victim under a sheet. You will also hear the officer say he saw them moving. I am inclined to believe the person was alive.

This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paulβ€”an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.

SECOND CLASS ANGEL


there’s a part of heaven
reserved for my kind. the sun don’t
grow there. the money don’t shine

it’s not about wings
altho chicken today feathers tomorrow
might be called a way of being

periodically
there’s a breakthru: one of us
gets over polishing halos

evidentially
status has endless ramifications
like an infinite pecking order

which suggests

the light
one moves toward ascending in death
is merely the non-reflective neon of God’s
corporate boardroom

Nothing is improving here in Minnesota. Nothing at all. We continue to be occupied by lawless sadists at the pleasure of senile lunatic obsessed with revenge.

I need people understand. Columbia Heights is a small first ring suburb with a population of 20k. Our school district is small: 1 high school, 1 middle school, 3 elementary schools and a family center. SIX kids have been taken from our schools. The damage to our community is incalculable.

Just before Christmas, I got a puppy.
Her name is Minerva, and we call her *Minnie.

I'm still learning how to understand her.

Me: Do you need to go outside? Do you need to go outside, little baby? Do you need to do a poo?
Do you need to do a widdle piddle?

Minnie: Arf!

*I just call her "little baby" most of the time.

I'm also realizing I can't turn off the baby talk now.
Nobody tells you about that.

I got so lucky with my first puppy.
Her wonderful foster parents had her completely house-trained by the time we adopted her, so taking her outside for potty time has been pretty easy. I've got the puppy poopy routine pretty much down, now.

Me, putting on my coat: Let's see... I got the little poopy bags, puppy treats for bribes, jacket, scarf, phone… I think that's everything… Oh yes! And my passport.

I had been carrying around my passport for a while, but I knew it didn't matter. This is wrong. Nobody is required to carry around their papers.

I became a US citizen when I was seven. Since I was born in a refugee camp, I was stateless.
The US is the only nation where I've ever held citizenship. It's the only passport I've ever had, and it still felt important. Protective.

I would hold it in my pocket like a talisman, like it might ward off ghosts or something. But I realized I was holding onto it basically out of superstition.
ICE will pick up anybody.

I know that.

So I tucked my passport away.

And I largely avoid leaving my house.

I live a few blocks just South of George Floyd Square. I was in the neighborhood for that, too.
And all the neighbors came together to protect each other. We're already organized.
We'll do our best to get through this.

Me, to my dog: I hope I can take you for a walk someday soon. Won't that be nice, little baby?

A reminder to the news media: β€œconflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

there once was a tulip
it was like a bomb but more gentle
boom, it went in the night
boom, it went at dawn

its red was blood if blood
didn't mean dying
