For people who have not yet had ICE descend on their city, I think it’s hard to convey how all-encompassing their presence is. You constantly hear about the neighbors they’ve taken, get texts about where not to go that day, see signs from where people were taken, hear whistles from down your block.

Rally in Los Angeles tomorrow (Thu) at 5pm in solidarity with Minneapolis.

Federal immigration agents have now shot and killed multiple people since Trump took office a year ago. Today alone marks the second deadly ICE shooting IN A WEEK. An off-duty shot and killed a 43-year-old father in CA on Dec. 31.

I'm sorry, but I just think it's very telling when we differentiate between ICE's killing of American citizens versus undocumented immigrants. And I'm seeing that a lot right now.

I felt this way last year when in broad daylight, ICE shot Silvero Villegas-Gonzalez, an undocumented father of two. But in both shootings, DHS is lying about the circumstances of the shootings, claiming each person used their car as a weapon. Videos show otherwise.

The cycle we’re in is, the group that people want to be serving as an opposition party capable of stopping ICE have for more than two decades handed ICE power, money, and political legitimacy

Don't give up. If the chuds could change the world this dramatically since January 6th, imagine what we - people who have had pets we didn't murder, understood books, and experienced human touch - can accomplish in the next 5 years.

One of the weird things about the lack of an overpowering algorithm is that sometimes I think someone has stopped posting but they literally just started going to bed at a different time than me

One of those “every single paragraph is sickening/gets worse/of course there’s eugenics” articles.

An old friend/ex and “lifelong antifa” (I can vouch) posted on ig “Treason’s Greetings and Happy Sore Loser Day” 😹

Almost texted “Happy New Yearn”

Sending power of attorney documents…to close my mother’s Spectrum cable account 🤡

Explained answering machines to the 15yo 😹

Cat butt photo bomb. Photo from my collection. 1955.

There’s so much Miller on the timeline, cleansing with Dolly Parton and a cat ✨

Omg the thing that is finally going to lure me into TikTok is people reacting and riffing on “I’m coming to the cottage”???!!!!?!???

A note to only children who still have relationships with their parents: if you or they have the means and haven’t done so yet, hire an elder care lawyer. Get *all* the paperwork done. Have someone you love nearby who makes you laugh through the bleakness. This shit can get grim.

I had an art night scheduled at my house back in March 2020 that never got rescheduled. I’m ready to schedule it now 🤓

I’m back in the book-in-progress and back in my meditation practice 🪽

I don’t know what magic occurred that allowed me to deal with a huge, unexpected family transition during the winter break. Even though nearly every day since 12/12 has been a struggle, I feel like I’m on the other side, catching a breath. newsletter.mommyselcamino.com/archive/a-br...

Have I missed the Heated Rivalry astrology takes? I think Shane is a Taurus and Ilya a Sagittarius

Today’s the last day of this sale 💚💚💚🎁🎁🎁

Last day for 50% off on Northwestern University Press books!!

I’ve been invited to participate in “Radical Beauty” a “Beauty Tutorial Video Series” and I am flattered that someone thinks I have a beauty routine!

In the winter I basically just want to eat in the early evening and go to sleep 🐻

I’d be fine if every marching band marching around Pasadena today just played Tusk.

This year I’m going to be kinder, more positive, work harder, and put more faith in myself until the very first minor obstacle throws me off for the next 350+ days

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

There aren’t nearly as many fireworks this year because of the rain…and yet there are still fireworks.

Happy new year, and a terrible new year to your enemies

A tomato dal and kanji are on the stove and the house smells fantastic.

In 2026, if you don’t already, start keeping a personal journal. You don’t need to write every day. They want to destroy history. Tearing down the East Wing, throwing away NASA archives, removing Smithsonian exhibits and historical markers… Keep your own history. We might need it later.

One of my favorite things this year was taking the 15yo to New York with me in July, and on the first night heading over to Village Vanguard for a 10pm show by the Billy Hart Quartet 💕

I know a handful of people whose parents or stepparents took a turn for the worse this past week. Solidarity 🌹

It feels very fucked up that next Friday will be January 9 already

Another day in hell and I’m putting on lipstick

The whole Kennedy Center thing simply underscores again that fascists do not make good or even popular art that anyone wants.

Forgive me for lmao doing a search of “Peter Thiel looks like.” I will *not* share certain gems if they feature actual photos because I don’t like polluting my own feed

Peter Theil looks like one of my students was sculpting a man and got bored half through.

Peter Thiel looks like the figure model for a gargoyle.
