This Wednesday 2/18, a conversation I got to be a part of, with someone I’ve admired for a long time will be out on YouTube.

I’m still wrapping my head around the fact that it even happened.

I have all of you to thank for putting me in spaces like this.

I can’t wait for you to see who it is.

💐

Happy Presidents’ Day, Illinois!

I just heard someone say on TV that use of the term "concentration camps" to describe ICE facilities was "very strong language."
I think ICE's concentration camps are very strong abuses of human rights.

I have dismissed several situations over the last few weeks & it feels gradually better to heal than to settle for consolation prizes after being implied that I wasn’t enough.

ANGEL’S LAW: Never settle for an interaction that confuses your heart or misinterprets your kindness as a weakness. Also, a relationship status is not a measure of your value. Remember to love yourself enough to dismiss any situation that does not align with your needs or values your presence.

STATEMENT REGARDING DETENTION OF STANDING ROCK SIOUX TRIBE MEMBER IN MINNESOTA JANUARY 24, 2026 I was notified today, January 24, 2026, that a Standing Rock Sioux Tribe member has been detained by the U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in the state of Minnesota. Tribal leadership is actively working to locate the individual, gather accurate information, and coordinate with the appropriate authorities to secure their release. At this time, details surrounding the detention remain limited. I urge the public to refrain from spreading unverified information while this matter is being reviewed. Standing Rock Sioux Tribe will continue to advocate for the protection of our citizen's rights and will provide updates as appropriate.

ICE has kidnapped another Indigenous person in Minneapolis. This is the fifth member of the Očhéthi Šakówinnto be taken this month.

Statement from Standing Rock:

Incredible turnout in Chi-town today protesting the murder of Alex Pretti. God love them! ❤️
