Listen, my real obsession is death. 10 yrs ago I spoke to a room full of excellent people in Brixton. I wanted to explore what I'd learnt from touring my solo show about my sister's murder: Sometimes I Laugh Like My Sister. #Grief is astonishing and you're not alone.

Jesus Christ. The "pivot" lasted about 15 minutes.
Arresting a black journalist under the Ku Klux Klan Act for covering a pro-immigration protest at a Christian nationalist church led by an ICE officer is the perfect encapsulation of this administration's authoritarianism, racism, and trolling.

NEWS: The Trump regime has arrested Don Lemon in its latest crackdown on journalism after he reported from inside a church protest in Minnesota—despite a magistrate judge previously rejecting the case against him as unsupported by evidence.

Northfield Minnesota is home to Carleton College (where I went) and St Olaf. The town's motto is "Cows, Colleges, and Contentment."
Also the site of Jesse James' last raid.
Anyway it's about as bucolic a place as you can imagine. ICE isn't just terrorizing the Twin Cities.

This is untenable for the Trump administration. The country has woken up.

Ian Austin, an Army veteran, was arrested for protesting ICE in Minneapolis. But he’s continued protesting. Senior reporter @julialurie.bsky.social spoke to him.
“When they say, ‘Why would you be out here?’ How the fuck could I not be out here?” he says. “My nation is under attack."

15 years ago I borrowed a bulletproof vest from a reporter so I could report from a war zone. I held onto it after I returned.
Last week the reporter finally asked for it back because he is headed to Minneapolis.
