I'll continue banging the drums about the fact that capitalism has deskilled us in detrimental ways. We need to skill up re: many things like conflict resolution, reproductive health, first aid, etc etc etc

I joined the Times Tech Report to talk about the collapse of growth in the software industry, the lie of infinite growth in SaaS, and Oracle sinking over a hundred billion dollars into data centers that will be obsolete by the time they're built. www.youtube.com/watch?v=guXU...

Thank you to everyone who has spoken up for the thousands of children and families imprisoned at Dilley. ICE admits that no one at Dilley has committed a crime, especially not the children. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/13/u...

I was so thrilled to speak with two awesome independent journalists about how they keep themselves and their footage safe. This aims to intersect actionable digital and operational security advice with the real techniques and gear actually being used by journalists in the field. Hope it's useful!

U.S. Suffers Additional Casualties In War It Won Last Week

I really wanted to know more about Renee Good, killed by ICE in January. Fortunately, my editor allowed me to take some time to do a deep dive into who she was before she died. Read and listen to what I found out about her from her Colorado tribe here: www.cpr.org/2026/03/11/r...

The immigration crisis is far from over. Our power comes from being informed, proactive, and confident. ✊ Join the MN8 Know-Your-Rights and Safety Planning Session on 4/1 at 6PM for Asian American communities to get started on a plan or refresh on your rights. 🔗 bit.ly/mn8-kyr-apri...

Please call! I used this script

New music! SECRET RIVERS is me and @seemore.bsky.social, and 100% of the proceeds from this project go to the Neighbors Helping Neighbors Twin Cities ICE Relief Fund. It's also Bandcamp Friday, so the platform doesn't even take a cut if you get it today: secretrivers.bandcamp.com

"ICE presence has expanded across Minnesota, especially in the past three weeks. Funds will be distributed between metro-area and greater Minnesota rent relief." Another rent relief effort, this one from MN organization Voices for Racial Justice:

Im excited to listen to this. Living in a global majority neighborhood and being really involved in my community changed my mind about almost everything.

An incredibly talented team of my colleagues at @propublica.org have created a searchable database of Trump's team financial disclosures, to help explore potential conflicts of interest: projects.propublica.org/trump-team-f...

Releasing some NEW music friday, then a virtual performance saturday with me, @seemore.bsky.social and @katparent.bsky.social. All proceeds from both going to the Neighbors Helping Neighbors Twin Cities ICE Relief Fund. More info: guante.info/salt

UM-Duluth let students know that they approve of this data center. So if you pay them tuition dollars, or are a Minnesota taxpayer, perhaps let them know this sucks. Hermantown, if you don’t know, is just up the hill from Duluth and therefore they are eyeing Lake Superior. We must stop this.

Public pressure means something. Primaries can change policies. In NY-10, Dan Goldman has been running ads for months. Primaried from his left by @bradlander.bsky.social, Goldman’s ads have gone from “Agents should have to carry ID” in January, to big bold graphics this month that say “Abolish ICE.”

This is not just cursed, its monstrous. The digital resurrection of a historian who died in January of this year, all so Grammarly can get some more clicks and engagement from students and/or scholars and/or others. It feels so wrong on so many levels, these ghosts enslaved to AI forever

NEW: Dozens of people were violently arrested by state police and Hennepin County sheriff's deputies after a march against ICE to the Whipple Federal Building on Sunday, March 1, during the last planned protest of the 'Bring the Heat Melt The Ice!' week of action in Minnesota. youtu.be/Aj6eaGcQHL8

we reached the “no WMDs” phase in two days.

Two years ago yesterday, as hundreds of starving Palestinians waited in line for humanitarian aid, including flour for bread, the Israeli military opened fire, killing over 100 Palestinians and wounding over 700.

normal caveats about wealth measures vs GSP aside, we should not be surprised that the elite impunity political environment has been good economically for the people on top, and that all of this is not solely about getting to say slurs during business hours

Our answer to divide-and-conquer tactics is solidarity. Our answer is unity. Our answer is union.

“Fascism, it’s always about using nationalism, and the nation, as a bludgeon to generate support for death policies, on behalf of death governments. For violence and repression and exploitation, internationalism is the antidote, always.” —Robin D. G. Kelley

...we've had huge virtual events and tiny ones. Either way, I want to affirm: it is worthwhile to do stuff no matter how "successful” it is by traditional metrics. It is worthwhile to do art + culture work even if it’s just for yourself. It is worthwhile to try things, and see what happens. Join us!

Continuing to find ways to be of service with the tools and capacity we have, as ever. Hoping this can offer some respite for folks staying in, living under threat of being disappeared one way or another by occupying forces.

My latest reprinted in @truthout.org. "One group member admitted that she followed ICE vehicles while honking loudly so often that her car horn broke."

It’s day 84 of the ICE occupation of MN. These 12 weeks have changed us forever. Minnesotans have found a new way to navigate the world- based deeply in our care for our neighbors. Read Kelly Hayes interview with some of the dedicated organizers:

"Prominent economists, including from Morgan Stanley and JPMorgan Chase, calculate that the AI buildup was directly responsible not for 92 percent or 39 percent of gains to the U.S. economy in 2025, but as little as zero."

I'm asking in all seriousness, who has a direct line to Bruce Springsteen to ask if he can donate $100,000?

Congress back at work in DC. Call your senators and tell them to Abolish ICE And Dismantle and defund DHS.

Israel bonds divestment is a key tool to stop the Israeli government’s crimes and defend Palestinian rights.

⚡ TODAY ⚡ In this one hour training, participants will learn about jury nullification — a legal tactic we can use to protect one another from unjust laws and political persecution. Can't make it today? There will be a second one on March 5th. Register for both on our website! defend612.com/events/

People have been trying to tell me what is and isn't possible for my whole life and it has zero impact on what I think is and isn't possible, lol. Like I'm not the one, keep it moving.

The largest rent strike in a century? The Minnesota unions behind the massive Jan. 23 day of action are now backing a potential rent strike to demand an eviction moratorium. At least 10K could withhold rent starting March 1. Here's what to know (1/6) inthesetimes.com/article/ice-...

Two days after the deadly sea collision, ~1,000 people demonstrated in central Athens, chanting slogans such as “Athens – Minnesota we fight together, against the system that murders us,” “open borders for refugees,” and “we live together, we work together with the migrants, fight the nazis.”

I loooove talking art, especially political art. These are all gems of writers and people opening up their process and values in a way we don’t always get to, even as educators. Thanks to KTM for bringing us in. There is so *much here for writers and non-writers alike.

They’re all paid by the same bosses.

Nothing that can help regular people is possible. Everything that can hurt regular people is easy to do. This is basically how most politicians act right now.
