One way or another there must be a reckoning for this great evil
"A 2-year-old boy was breastfeeding in detention. One 6-year-old boy had leukemia. An 8-year-old girl began wetting the bed. A 14-year-old girl engaged in self-harm...None of these children or their parents had a criminal history anywhere in the world."

I am past 'retrain ICE.' I am past 'reform ICE.' I am past 'abolish ICE.'
I am at 'imprison ICE.'

Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.

Everyone involved should stand trial with Ross as accomplices

People don't make their soup in a cauldron over an open fire under a full moon with the sound of wolves in the distance anymore, and honestly, I think that’s a shame.

Some Minnesotan solidarity with my immigrant neighbors. I'm the grandchild of immigrants. We all do better when we all do better. Also, ICE sucks.

If we can’t enjoy a bottle of Cabernet together by the fireplace in an abandoned Victorian mansion under a full moon on a cold winter’s night with the sound of wolves in the distance whilst we wax poetic about our hopes, dreams, and people we want to haunt in the afterlife, then what’s the point?

I organized decades-old cans of chemicals in my parents' basement. The hazardous waste center opens in spring.
I'm still making art, but focusing on real life messes that require my compassion and help.

I'm committing to spending weekends at my parents' home to help organize and clean up decades of accumulated memories. The woodshop is my first target because I want to build so many things.
