📢 Immigration Vigil 📆 Every Thursday 📍 26 Federal Plaza, NYC, Federal Worker's entrance ⏰ 12 pm - 1 pm Join Rise and Resist for a silent vigil calling out ICE for abducting immigrants without due process. This may be a silent vigil, but our message is loud! ICE OUT FOR GOOD!

The clowns are in mourning, the great Gaulier has passed. I never studied with him myself but several of my most important teachers did. I know a lot of stories about him. Clown lineage is strong, believe it or not. So sorry to see this giant make his exit. www.theguardian.com/stage/2026/f...

✨ A timeline cleanse ✨

I talked to a bunch of younger grads at my alumni holiday party and it made me think about something. This #podcast features a cover of Stevie Nick's "Talk to Me" podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/n...

I'm convinced AI is our generation's radium - a discovery with genuinely useful applications in specific, controlled circumstances that we stupidly put in everything from kid's toys to toothpaste until we realised the harm far too late where future generations will ask if we were out of our minds.

From @nycemergencymgt.bsky.social : @notifynyc.bsky.social If you are currently being impacted by the power outage in the zips 11207, 11221, 11237, a warming center is available at the Evergreen Middle School for Urban Exploration at 125 Covert Street in Brooklyn.

The views slowed down on the Epstein post - so it's time for an up to the minute post from October! This one about survivorship bias inspired by Christopher Guest is up on Medium and Substack. The #podcast version includes a cover of "Lesson in Survival" emilyrainbowdavis.medium.com/artists-as-p...

A desperate plea sent to me by a Minneapolis resident who's been on the front lines since the beginning of the ICE occupation:

This thread helps clarify some of the big feelings that have been coming up for me.

I assume I'm not in the Epstein files. I haven't checked. But I'm not too many degrees from people who are! #theatre

Hello @governor.ny.gov - could you help New York to join Illinois and California in this?

Philidelphia DA Larry Krasner warns ICE: If an agent commits crimes in Philly, I will charge you. You will be arrested. You will stand trial, and you will be convicted in state or federal court and you will do your time. Donald Trump can't pardon you for a state court conviction.

This is action EVERY city in the country can take. If your hotels cooperate with ICE, goodbye liquor revenue.

Abolish ICE. There’s no reforming it. There’s no compromise. There’s only one way to rein in ICE’s terror campaign. Abolish it.

Let's talk about a book from 1937! So of the moment! So now! This #podcast episode features a cover of John Mayer kiss off song. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/a...

In the #TwinCities #Minneapolis and #StPaul, protesters sing outside hotels that house ICE & Border Patrol: "It's okay to change your mind. Show us your courage. Leave this behind. It's okay to change your mind. And you can join us, you can join us anytime."

This one was not a big hit the first time around (I think the title was not helping). But it's now up on Medium and Substack and the #podcast featured a cover of "Leave It Like It Is" - which is a formative song from my high school days. emilyrainbowdavis.medium.com/the-differen...

2026 is going to be a great year to run for office. Filing deadlines are coming up fast -- in most places, it's not too late to get on the ballot. We'll help you get started. runforwhat.net

They arrested them Black journalists because Stephen Miller really wants Black folks to come outside in the streets so he gets the ultimate race war of his dreams. Too many white people out there now and its drawing the wrong type of attention.

I got a little bit behind in posting these things on Medium and Substack. This was from when I was promoting the beginning of the third season of my #AudioDrama. Which finished up in November. So…. The #podcast includes a cover of "Mail Myself to You." emilyrainbowdavis.medium.com/still-sendin...

Solidarity with every single person participating in today’s general strike against ICE’s terror campaign. You’re changing the world ✊🏽❤️

Again, not in the general mood - though I guess both these guys did their bit to fight fascism. This is now up on Medium and Substack. The #podcast features a cover of a song called "Evelyn Waugh" emilyrainbowdavis.medium.com/evelyn-waugh...

As far as I know, Tom Suozzi here still does not have a primary challenger in his district (NY-3 on Long Island). The filing deadline is April 6 for the primary on June 23, and if there's a remotely progressive town council member or PTA president in that district, this is the time to make a move.

This or just dumping people *in the woods* AND sending folks out w/o their phone or I.D. Volunteers w/ Safe Haven wait at the gate & do sweeps of the woods, with warm clothes, a burner, and a ride home, "so no one is left alone at the gate." I donated; pls join me if you can: gofund.me/7d506a3d0

Do I know this piece is so not of the moment? Yes, I do. I'm coming up dry on the current moment, folks. So here's this one I wrote last month.

I was going to try and publish a new blog today but best I can manage is get this one out on Medium and Substack. The #podcast version includes a cover of "Rule Number One" emilyrainbowdavis.medium.com/this-is-part...

And now the #podcast version of the blog post about the book review with the comments on it! This episode features a cover of ani difranco's "I'm No Heroine." I pulled out the electric guitar for it. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/c...

You don’t know your role yet maybe, but we are all finding out just what we have to offer. In Minneapolis, one man knew immediately what he could offer and said “Bring me your clothing”.

Uplifting thread

all I know is all these occasions thoroughly disprove "the secret" because no one's concentrated on wishing something this hard together outside of sporting events

I like to do modern stuff like get mad about books that were written in 1937. #theatre

This #podcast episode features some talk about health insurance and health care and a cover of "Unwell." podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/h...

This is a WILD thread—that is still ongoing bsky.app/profile/musi...

If you live in the Cities, an easy way to help immigrant families in hiding is: laundry! Laundromats are ICE magnets, so people without washers need help. The People’s Laundry will drop off laundry to your door to wash and dry and pick up a few days later: thepeopleslaundrympls.com/volunteer/

New: We built an interactive map of every ICE contractor working with the Trump administration. readsludge.com/2026/01/16/t...

every single successful general strike in US history has had union backing through the local AFL-CIO this is the first time it’s been called for since the 1940s

You do not have to let ICE into your home unless they have a judicial warrant signed by a judge with your correct name and address on. Not just any warrant will do: youtube.com/shorts/JDArz...

I’m seeing posts from people (outside of MN) about how US citizens should carry their passports. And let me say that *inside* MN, we are calmly responding to requests with: “No, I don’t have to show you any documentation.” Because that’s how you protect everyone, regardless of immigration status.

I am part of the 88%. But then, it would seem, most of us are.

My friends local to Minnesota, whom I trust a great deal, would like to share the following resources that could use support. PowWowGrounds - Native American Coffee Shop doing direct food and supply aid to their communities- Venmo @powwowgrounds www.powwowgrounds.com

I discovered some comments on a review I wrote in 2008 and instead of responding there, I wrote this blog post.

I just want it to be really clear, to people from out of the area, if they see pictures of fires in Minneapolis: THEY WERE STARTED BY ICE. NOT BY PROTESTERS. NOT BY RESIDENTS.

BREAKING — Mayor of Lewiston, Maine posts on FB that ICE is coming to the city imminently. This confirms my reporting the agency is planning a surge in the city and state generally. Lewiston is home to a large Somali-American population, which made up 4.6% of the population as of the 2020 census.

Haven't I said? So many times. This is pitched to visual artists but it applies to all of us. I worked out a system, thanks to a patron, where I supplement these fees by writing a rejection post that my patrons then pay for me for. (The Pay per Creation model on Patreon made this possible.)

This one about sending rejection notices is up on Medium and Substack. Apparently it's not just theatre that's gotten bad about this. The #podcast version is also available and features a cover of "Be Good". emilyrainbowdavis.medium.com/good-will-is...

And now the #podcast version of my least popular blog post in a while! It features of a song in Portuguese! I promise this episode is not a request for donations. (At least no more than usual.) podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/g...

ICE observers in the Twin Cities are in need of dash cams to prevent further intimidation and frivolous claims. Cams are $110, memory cards $35, and ship to us directly via this wish list: www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/... If you've been looking for a way to help, we'd sure appreciate it!

With all the horrors happening, the healthcare story is barely a blip. I've been thinking about it for a bit.
