GIVE HIM HIS HAT AND BACKPACK BACK YOU GHOULS

They’re taking kids from Minnesota and sending them to detention camps. They’re shooting American citizens in the street and locking investigators out of the crime scenes. The world is watching what happens next.

I don't like to talk about stories before they are fully reported, but I am writing on ICE in a Minnesota town that isn't Minneapolis. However bad you think it is, it is worse. It is a campaign of pure terror whose only strategic goal is more terror. There is no strategy other than to break people.

the reality that this grossness is thriving in our culture is nauseating to the nth degree

hey everyone, i’m sharing my poems now live in “The Unwanted”: a special themed issue of Interim: A Journal of Poetry & Poetics. www.interimpoetics.org/the-unwanted...

Man shot by federal agent in south Minneapolis www.startribune.com/ice-raids-mi...

With no warning, feds just gassed people.

ICE has now carried out two summary executions of innocent people in the streets of an American city. If you work for ICE, there's no denying that's the mission you're supporting now. You don't get to claim in one year or ten or twenty that you didn't know what ICE was doing. You're complicit.

they went to an emergency room seeking help for their 7 year old child. ICE arrested the 7 year old and her parents. the family is here legally. www.oregonlive.com/portland/202...

Man shot by federal agents has died, police chief says www.startribune.com/ice-raids-mi...

"The man shot by federal agents this morning has died, Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara told the Minnesota Star Tribune."

⚠️⚠️⚠️Trigger warning: live murder by ICE in MN ***today*** www.instagram.com/reel/DT5hSb6...

Trump & Vance’s agents saw tens of thousands of people — of all ages & races — come out *in below zero temperatures* to protest their tax-funded violence, their murder of their neighbor. And the very next day, they executed another one. What can Americans conclude from this?

Do not watch the video. They beat then shot the person to death in south Minneapolis Today. It wasn’t just a murder. It was an execution. Watching it won’t help anyone. Warrants must be issued immediately.

What, after all, is the world, but a tiny dot at the end of a very long question mark

Poet Cornelius Eady made space aliens tune in to earth today for the first time in nearly a decade, reminding them we are sometimes worth it.

Don’t be a Dick-Tator

WOW! Protesters created a HUGE human sign on San Francisco’s Ocean Beach reading “No Kings YES on 50” to support California’s Prop 50 and stand up against Donald Trump’s fascist regime

Austin, Texas showed up in mass for democracy and against monarchy! #NoKings #Austin #Texas

Boston. Wow.

Coast Guard bought Kristi Noem two private jets (I guess if one breaks down). Cost: $172 million. Is that what you call draining the swamp?

BREAKING: Our crowd count estimate from the No Kings coalition responsible for planning today’s event is 7 MILLION nationwide. 7 MILLION of you gathered across the country to peacefully protest today. 2 million more than the first No Kings action in June.

I took part in a small town protest today in very very red rural Missouri. Initially, a few days ago 43 people were "going". Turned out to be 640 of us in a tiny town square! I was beyond exhilarated.

Amazing video from Chicago today. No Kings

An astonishingly large crowd! Chicago

i’m honored to share my poem series in @conjunctions.bsky.social weekly online feature, following past weeks’ features by Arthur Sze, Richard Siken, & @akasomeguy.bsky.social ! conjunctions.com/articles/shi...

Interesting idea actually

Most Jewish Americans disapprove of the Trump administration withholding funds from colleges to address anti-Jewish sentiment, according to a new survey.

NEWS: A person is in custody after allegedly firing a gunshot at the home of Democratic state Sen. Meg Loughran Cappel, a state lawmaker in Illinois. There are no reported injuries.

WGA Statement on ABC’s Decision to Pull Jimmy Kimmel Live!

great news! you're not actually seeing karl rove, john yoo, and david frum criticize the administration's lawlessness more stridently than dem leadership. you, reader, were infected with rabies by a brown bat 36 hours ago and this is all just the virus working its way through your nervous system

IMPORTANT PERSPECTIVE: What I have not seen anyone discussing is that Nexstar pulling Kimmel, forcing ABC’s hand, comes as Nexstar is leading the way for the industry on trying to get FCC approval for media consolidation. www.poynter.org/business-wor...
