At over 21,000 words my story is now a text document, full of spelling errors, formatting issues, and faults. But it exists! Now I get to do the fun part; editing and rewriting.

Minneapolis and Saint Paul have basically mobilized into a war economy of mutual aid and non-violent defense. I’ve never seen anything like it, even during Covid. People who barely vote are guarding their schools from ICE and doing the shopping for neighbors in hiding.
This is so smart. I’m so impressed with all the different ways you’re helping your neighbors.

Flowers at Henderson Canyon Rd Wildflower Area are still looking great (see from this morning below). However, many from the fall crop of desert sunflowers have peaked. Recent rains are producing a more recent crop of desert sunflowers in this same area. (Photos: Sicco Rood).

I've been here 24 hours, but already with what I've seen, well, I genuinely believe we're going to win. People here are well aware that what happens here impacts the entire country, that it sets the tone for resistance. ICE is angry, ICE is terrified, of how deeply unpopular it is.

Bookplate!? Who needs a stinking bookplate when you can mark your books with a red-hot branding iron? Here are two 17th c. “Marcas de Fuego” showing that the book was owned by the Great Convent of St. Francisco in Mexico City - S. FRAN.CO d MEX. CO. The second mark AP refers to the apostolica sedes.

"Do you know what the most popular type of art is—a genre so broadly loved that it is collected utterly apart from any market value or popular acclaim? Art made by children. Before art is visually splendid, before it is even articulate, it is valued as a connection to a consciousness in formation."

Do you know why you've heard of the Boston Massacre? Because in 1768, when the British military began occupying Boston, Bostonians syndicated a "Journal of Occurrences" in newspapers around the country to help Americans understand what abuse of power looks like. By the 1770s, readers understood.
