Love Joliet, I once had gumbo-style fried rice there and it changed my life. Immigrants enrich us all.

I've spent the past year and a half developing a book for an elementary audience (you'll all learn more about it soon) with the intention of being able to use it while teaching kids...and let me tell you, it's much easier putting together materials for kids when I've already made the book for them

Read this article. ICE detainees are assigned an "A-number" and folks on the outside need it to contact them, and missing this number is one of the ways people get lost inside.

Trayvon Martin should be turning 31 today. He should be surrounded by friends and loved ones celebrating him. He and his family were robbed of that because a grown man stalked him and killed him. Without accountability.

ICE hit my childhood elementary school today. That public school district is suing the federal government, but note we're talking about a district that is two elementary schools, one middle school, and one high school. Just terrorizing a small town.

News of federal agent drawdown met with skepticism, calls for more action
The White House said Wednesday that 700 agents would leave Minnesota. Critics of the ICE surge noted that some 2,000 agents would remain on the ground. Gov. Tim Walz called for a “faster and larger dr...

I was pumping gas recently and overheard a real blowhard foreman -type on the phone talking about a recent hire who texted him back using AI and he was convinced this proved this employee was an idiot and they weren't going to keep him on the job. It felt heartening and grotesque in equal measure

On my computer I have two folders I'm mostly working in all day, "Professional" for all my jobs and "Projects" for all my personal artwork. And it's when something from the Projects folder needs to move into the Professional folder that I know I'm doing pretty good.

I saw a TikTok by a news journalist recently who was in Minneapolis and trying to get coverage of the relentless hard work people are doing on the ground, but it's difficult to do, because it's mostly done in people's homes, isn't visually interesting, and people don't want to talk to the camera.

for over 3 weeks, I've spoken to ICE watchers and organizers across the country: first right after Renee Good's killing — then 2 weeks into my reporting, Alex Pretti was killed. ICE watchers are being detained and harassed — but they're also stopping ICE abductions and inspiring others to join them

Part of why my childhood was so beautiful were my friendships with immigrants. Why my family moved to the Minneapolis suburbs was for the diversity in the public schools; everyone went to the same place. This has never been what Minnesota wants.

Tonight I was the hero of the parking garage, we had been sitting there for ten minutes so I walked all the way down the line of cars and directed traffic to dislodge it. One woman cheered for my great triumph. This is, like, a Boomer's greatest fantasy

People, unions, organizations, businesses, all of them, speak out about ICE, keep pushing, keep being annoying. We are fighting fascism, it's everywhere, and we need to stamp it out.

I want to circle back, I appreciate the attention this story got and I think it's only fair to share that Kelly Pannek and Taylor Heise, players for the, talk about the ICE occupation of Minnesota at the press conference after yesterday's game (start at 3:34)

I see some people passing around that article alarmed at the idea of a "quota;" that was the assumption on the ground in Minneapolis when I was there weeks ago. If you'd seen this senseless rampaging yourself you would have also drawn that conclusion, it's insane

Here's a regular white guy (literally "Chad") not a protester. because, "It seemed pointless, or just a way for people to expiate their sense of guilt." Chad witnessed something shattering. And, that all changed in a moment. Excellent article!

Blocking the construction of ICE detention centers is much easier than closing them once they're built! If you're in this county, follow the OP for some ways to support; if you're not, keep an ear out for proposed detention facilities in your zone

I keep thinking “my god the people they’ve killed seem like exceptionally good folks” and I think the lesson there is that they’re not exceptional, but that wonderful people abound and that a baseline distrust in humanity is a shitty conservative trope that privileges power over collective strength
