the trick to stairs is don’t fall

next comes spring, breath and light 🌞🌿✨ winter is exhausted, and ice cannot outlast the sun 🌱🖤

Two poems out in the new issue of Dunes Review: “In Reverse” for my beloved, creative, joyful, compassionate, and terribly missed friend Tom, and “Minutes” for Shea, my exquisitely beautiful partner, who is radiant enough to transcend space & time but is somehow bound by it anyway 🖤💫

this feels like talking to a drunk guy after an undergrad creative writing class

I’m just saying maybe if the uruk-hai had better training we wouldn’t have these issues

seven generations of soggy fries to anyone who shows up to a protest and thanks the fucking cops please shut the fuck up, love you

Israel has just carried out an air strike and SLAUGHTERED AT LEAST 2 PALESTINIANS in al-Maghazi Camp.

Washtenaw County: if you know folks who use the bus system to get around, please see about offering them a ride instead.

I think about this post a lot.

brass solidarity band performing “stand by me” in the streets of whittier next to alex pretti’s memorial. the crowd started chanting “the people united will never be defeated” so they incorporated it into the song. i love minneapolis

it is impossible to miss the difference between the names you see in newspaper headlines and the names you don't see in newspaper headlines

Resisting the might-makes-right order, in solidarity with the peoples of Palestine, Venezuela, Cuba and Greenland. Boycott, divest from, or exclude from contracts these complicit US companies.

This is a really incredible piece. Share it widely 🎁https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/2026/01/minneapolis-uprising/685755/?gift=C-rzmQ8PsUHt15odxTKJDn7xrpPNxSpotkNz_P27oI0

Well said.

People at taken to Whipple are released into the cold in whatever they were wearing without their phones and IDs. Volunteers meet them at release (or find them left in parks and the woods) get them a burner, warm clothes, food, a ride home, etc (GFM in next post) www.instagram.com/reel/DTzJde9...

We've raised a lot of money for my school community neighbors. And I predict all of it will be depleted by the end of this week. If you're in a position to donate, please help: paypal.me/lyndalepto (donations are tax deductible) 3/3

There's a prison revolt at a concentration camp in Texas in solidarity with Minneapolis:

Imagine what’s happening in the camps.

they're executing moms and nurses in the street. they're using preschoolers as bait. they're stealing people's dads and grandmas and children. they're tear gassing babies. they're staking out schools. there is no remedy but abolition. any proposal that doesn't start there is an act of violence.

He was directing traffic around an ICE operation on Eat Street, looking out for public safety. Then he was shielding another protester with his body while ICE pepper sprayed them both. He died protecting his community. He should be alive to tell the story. Abolish ICE forever.

UPDATE: @dropsitenews.com has obtained the very graphic video from the lady in the pink coat, which shows ICE executing yet another person in broad daylight:

ICE agents killed a man and are disappearing the witnesses.

All those people downtown yesterday, no ICE involvement, and not one incident. ICE shows up in a neighborhood and now another Minnesotan is dead. It's pretty obvious who the violent outside agitators are.

For this, the state decided to execute him.

Once again: Focusing on their lack of training is a mistake. With "better training," their violence would simply cost more, and they would still kill whoever they wanted, but make it look more professional — to make people more comfortable, the way many of you are at ease with local police violence.

ICE just shot another one of my neighbors. They had the person on the ground, being beaten by several agents, and then fired multiple shots. In front of the donut shop where we like to get donuts for our kids.

my doctors wrote me a treatment plan and a bunch of prescriptions and then said “all of this is optional. you are in perfect health. what are you here for anyway?? you don’t even need us. leave!” I was glad to hear this because, as we all know, having a health issue is a personal failing

Please help us bring Liam Adrian Cornejo Ramos (he’s only 5 years of age and is currently in pre-K. Yesterday, he and his father were kidnapped by ICE. This will help the family with legal services to help reunite Liam and his dad with their family. gofund.me/be8a1b2ab

Department of Homeland Security is worried about people with "class-based or economic grievances," per its annual threat assessment (leaked to me): www.kenklippenstein.com/p/leaked-doc...

All I have ever heard about every news story from Bill Clinton to drag shows is “it’s awful, parents have to explain this to their children, why can’t we just let kids be kids?” Now an entire classroom is going to go home to parents trying to explain why their five year friend was taken by the govt

Wonderous little Michigan-oriented flash up this week. Hook, line, and sink into "The Great Metro Detroit Flood" from @vernorsofficial.bsky.social: Link: dishsoap-quarterly.com/1-20-26

A 5-year-old preschool student was taken with his father by federal immigration agents shortly after arriving home from school, Columbia Heights school leaders said Jan. 21.

I love how much of the Lord of the Rings is just people talking shit

I just think it’s interesting that from the second age all the way through to the return of the king, nobody ever tried to invent a computer

possibly the worst mistake I’ve ever made as a teacher was putting Rush E on the smartboard and challenging 30 second graders to clean up the entire classroom before it ended

forgot that earlier in my art journey I drew Saturn Devouring Her Son Lisa Frank Version

“we can’t just be expected to ‘investigate’ every time a cop kills somebody (which they do all the time btw but it’s FINE my GOD)”

fuck yeah i want my tabs restored i like to suffer

Minneapolis.

I don’t think people quite understand that the occupation by ICE in the Twin Cities has more or less erased non-white people from public life. They cannot safely exist in any space accessible to the public and moving between private places leaves folks vulnerable to kidnapping by armed masked goons.

ICE murdered a Cuban man at a concentration camp on American soil built and staffed using our tax dollars

“violent protestors are drawing landscapes on brick walls so the ICE agents chasing them will crash”

The DROP Trump Coalition organized an emergency protest to say no to Trump and his racist agenda. Over 300 people rallied on the corner of Trumbull and Temple to show that his presence wasn’t welcome in Detroit. fightbacknews.org/articles/det...
