A Short Poem About A Tragedy
i hear
a pack of howling dogs
charging through the wintry woods.
i stand outside, screaming
"come inside, dogs.
i will light the fireplace and share
my bacon"
but they run on, their cries fading,
and i am left
with my steaming breath on the air
and my bacon

This is a more accurate metric of impending bad weather than the Waffle House Index
Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas) was spotted earlier today, January 20, 2026, on a plane heading to Laguna Beach as the state of Texas braces for a rare ice threat and arctic cold front.

Brooklyn Park police chief Mark Bruley: "We're hearing people being stopped with no cause & being demanded to show paperwork to determine if they're here legally. We started hearing from our police officers the same complaints. Every one of these individuals is a person of color... it has to stop"

the only bright spot in the world right now is that burnt-out Gen Z and Millennials finally make up the majority of the workforce, I just called tech support for my router and was told “girl I for real think it’s cooked”

This is what happened in our neighborhood yesterday. ICE snatched a human being off of our streets, roughed them up badly, and then pepper sprayed legal observers as they documented it all. This is a daily occurrence happening all throughout Minnesota right now.

These are concentration camps. And these are the numbers they're comfortable sharing.
This is the sixth death in ICE custody in 18 days. This isn’t enforcement, it’s a system that cages people, outsources care, and shrugs when they die. Abolish ICE.

If you live in the Cities, an easy way to help immigrant families in hiding is: laundry! Laundromats are ICE magnets, so people without washers need help.
The People’s Laundry will drop off laundry to your door to wash and dry and pick up a few days later:

I was just at a comedy show and the guy next to me says "wow, he's really funny" and his buddy goes "yeah, but that's only because it's his job." I'm going to be thinking about this comment a lot

Thanks. We have folks in our community giving vulnerable students rides to school, and a teacher shared that they were putting small stuffed animals on their dashboards to help kids identify safe cars. ICE picked up on it and started doing the same. Horrifying.

Breaks my heart to share this, but today is my last day at The Verge and I am looking for work! I'd really like to stay in video games, preferably in some kind of journalistic capacity but I can do PR/Marketing and maybe even a lil Narrative Design. Please get in touch!
