I am impeaching Secretary Kristi Noem, who is an incompetent leader and a disgrace to our democracy. She wreaked havoc in the Chicagoland area and has brought her reign of terror to Minneapolis. One of her rogue ICE agents shot and killed an innocent woman today. It must come to an end.

Homeland Security’s description of what happened and the narrative they’re pushing clearly doesn’t match up with the videos we’re all seeing. They’re asking people not to believe what we can all see with our own eyes. I’ve been in contact with DHS demanding more information.

“Poetry, both in the reading and writing of it, offers us the opportunity to slow down and deepen our experience of life and other people’s lives. It feeds our imagination, our curiosity, and hopefully, our empathy.” — @aaroncaycedokimura.bsky.social #NationalPoetryMonth

For @aaroncaycedokimura.bsky.social, making poetry, making art of all kinds, is an entirely human act. That’s what we need more of—humanity! #NationalPoetryMonth
