Every single day, I look at this quilt, which I created in 2021, hanging in my home studio, wondering why I've felt like I've been YELLING 👏 INTO 👏THE 👏 VOID 👏 ever since. I'm hoarse.
Can you hear me now? CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW??!! #democracy

I don’t care who it is. Mental health issues do not make someone a bigot and it’s not an excuse for dangerous, harmful, or abusive behavior
People have psychotic episodes every day without being a bigot, or engaging in sexually inappropriate and/or abusive behaviors

These are not isolated incidents. For nearly a year, in states across the country, DHS has detained citizens & veterans, and continually violated the due process rights entitled to everyone. This organization is out of control.

Naming someone is not doxxing. They aren’t undercover. They aren’t intelligence agents overseas. This is outrageous - we are supposed to be a free Republic and these people want an authoritarian police state. Lawsuits should be filed & ranking Dems in Congress should act.

The majority of organizing happening in Minnesota isn’t just peaceful, it’s INVISIBLE. Moms showing up who won’t be interviewed on TV, people whose ICE patrols don’t turn into viral video. The grocery runs, the donations, the people filming bc they happen to be there. Please remember this.

I was trying to explain to a brother in UK how the 2nd amendment is contingent and selective.

Both smiling.

ICE killing #AlexPretti should remind you of police killing #PhilandoCastille. Both men had concealed weapon permits, did not draw their guns, & were killed in Minn. These homicides are the price of unaccountable policing. These deaths are variations on the same fatal theme.

Racism disproportionately and massively multiplies state violence over generations. That said, we under describe and under diagnose the evil, if we fail to see that White people can & will die when they oppose that evil.
