Mostly organic material and a series of vibrations registering as sound.
Abides in the liminal space between the Twin Cities of Saint Paul and Minneapolis, where nothing is quite real and anything is possible.
Drums, mandolin. Rarely at the same time.

The universe winds down. That's how it's made.
But memory is everything to lose;
Although some of the colors have to fade,
Do not believe you'll get the chance to choose.
Regret, by definition, comes too late;
Say what you mean. Bear witness. Iterate.
~ John M. Ford

“CBP agents walked door-to-door, knocking on car windows and asking drivers if they were citizens. Green card holder Joel Keleekai watched nervously as an agent held his ID up to a cell phone as he checked his information.”

Fear not the chuds, for they were born chuds and will die chuds. They believe with their whole hearts that they can punch their way to respect because that’s what their dads did to them and their moms and siblings and they took the wrong lesson from that. Don’t fear their trauma; it is theirs alone.
“Be not afraid.”

Re-upping this. I don't think there's enough pieces that are covering what it is like to live in Minneapolis right now, as just an ordinary person. There are reports of the high level facts. There are stories from rapid responders and the like, and a stream of videos. But what's the whole picture?
If you are a freelance writer in Minneapolis who wants to write something about the situation there, please reach out to me at adam @ liberalcurrents dot come or message me on signal. Note that I have something specific in mind, this isn't about sending me pitches

It's absolutely insane that there are thousands of parents in Minnesota standing in front of their kids schools who have to worry about getting killed by their own government because they want to protect their kids' classmates, teachers, and fellow parents.

This video is the perfect encapsulation of the illegal, thuggish, unprovoked, violent conduct of ICE. Rep. @benniethompson.bsky.social, I trust that you and the House Homeland Security Committee will have interest in this.

Realized I hadn't seen one of my kid's teammates in a couple of weeks. Checked with the coach and his family is not leaving the house. Fucking cool country we have where an 11 year old can't play soccer with his buddies.

Protesters clashed with federal agents for another night outside the Whipple Federal Building, which holds ICE detainees. Agents fired less-lethal munitions and deployed chemical irritants at the crowd.

Did they not think some Americans might have a similar attachment to their friends and neighbors?

Journalists often go on hand-fed ride-alongs with agents.
Seldom, though, do they get into the cars of everyday people protecting their communities from those same agents.
We just did exactly that, in ICE-occupied Minneapolis:

I can’t emphasize enough how shocked my out of state friends and family are when I tell them what has happened in Minneapolis since Renee Good’s murder.
Without reliable media, most not-chronically-online people are completely in the dark. If you want to help Minnesota, tell people what you know.

I am still steaming about this.
Average ppl in Minnesota are putting their bodies on the line. Priests are fearlessly staring down guns. ICE is gassing ppl and snatching kids.
And this fucking coward can’t call for using power to stop ICE?

Q: Is it your posture to put restrictions on ICE as a condition for funding DHS?
JEFFRIES: Renee Good should be alive. There was no justification. There are common sense measures that need to put in place so ICE can conduct itself in manner at least consistent w/ every other law enforcement agency

Saying "ICE agents deserve to be slowly devoured by a Rat King over the course of several weeks before seeing Hell's flames" is not incitement because it is a statement of moral valuation and not a call to action, violence, or statement of intent. And Rat Kings cannot read (hopefully)
