It is fair to say that there exists in our era a tragic discrepancy between the richness of the visible world and the extreme poverty of our capacity to perceive it. Robert Pogue Harrison Gardens: On the Lost Art of Seeing (2008) 📷 from this morning

"The function, the very serious function of racism is distraction. It keeps you from doing your work. It keeps you explaining, over and over again, your reason for being." Toni Morrison Portland State University May 30, 1975 portrait by photographer Chester Higgins, 1970

We went down into the silent garden. Dawn is the time when nothing breathes, the hour of silence. Everything is transfixed, only the light moves. Leonora Carrington

Still water logged where I am, so from my library something of beauty & peace for all of those grieving in toooo many places in our shared 🌎. ( It's a sunset over the Isle of Skye 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿)

"The FBI is seeking to seize numerous records from the 2020 election, including ballots, tabulator tapes, digital data and voter rolls."

Immigrant-owned businesses are a vital part of Minneapolis. Across our city, small businesses are hurting, as fear from recent federal activity is keeping people home. Read more: https://www.cbsnews.com/minnesota/news/twin-cities-latino-somali-businesses-struggling-ice-operation-metro-surge

I wrote about my time in Minneapolis last week, about what is involved in creating bottom-up, decentralized networks of care. margaretkilljoy.substack.com/p/our-neighb...

Done! Yeah, this is pretty fantastic! The sound is heavy and deliberately slow like DoomMetal, but there are overarching elements of Hardcore and PostPunk in this. Can't really think of anyone else doing something like this, a very nice surprise! Highly, highly recommended!

Ypsilanti Community Schools reports that ICE is targeting YCS schools. It is even more imperative that MI pass legislation protecting schools, courthouses and places of worship (SBs 508-510). People shouldn't be afraid of facing violence from untrained, reckless, and unaccountable federal agents.

I hear there is an ICE contingent in #AnnArbor, staying at the Hampton on Jackson, mustering in the morning at the abandoned ypsi Walmart. Some abductions around ypsi area throughout the day. Looking for better info

Friendly reminder that any signal group chat that has people in it you don't know is potentially infiltrated and anything you say in there could be scraped and shared with anyone, including law enforcement. Encryption does not stop people from leaking chats. See Atlantic signalgate.

The circles we live in. With the state of the world, it feels crucial to stick together and lift each other up. My personal loss and grief over my mother has left me feeling even more vulnerable in a world that has gone insane. #monoprint #printmaking #art #grief #support #community

I truly understand the pleas for ICE to leave Minnesota. But leaving MN to go terrorize other states isn’t what anyone wants. ICE/DHS is kidnapping and murdering people in the streets AND IN DETENTION CENTERS. Abolishing ICE - and holding its leaders & agents accountable- is the absolute minimum.
