I want to be friends with your guinea pig.
It has come to my attention that to find fellow poets, I need to put more about that in my profile.

Poetry Foundation announced a "new direction" and they're dumping everything to focus exclusively on grantmaking. It's a huge loss for Chicago and the poetry community at large. I respect grantmaking to artists but why make that your exclusive focus. Lilly left a $200M endowment.
This sucks.

Order to improve conditions for detainees in Broadview.
Sweeping injunctions against CBP to halt assaults on protestors, clergy, and journalists.
Some excellent news from Tuesday's election.
Fighting back DOES matter. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

This LE bullshit is fucking tragic. I used to do drills for active shooters. Now, children have to worry about that AND law enforcement abducting teachers, school staff, parents, perhaps even the students. The way LE is dressed, you can't distinguish them from active shooters anyway.

Easily several hundred people have packed into this plaza in Chicago's North Center tonight in response to ICE abducting a daycare worker early this morning.
This is a neighborhood that has largely been spared until now from the "Midway Blitz" terror campaign. But everyone knows someone affected.

I'm filled with such hope.
"Here we believe in standing up for those we love, whether you are an immigrant, a member of the trans community, one of the many black women Trump has fired, a single mom waiting for the cost of groceries to go down, or anyone else with your back against the wall. Your struggle is ours too."

Border Patrol agent Lairmore testifies that he was not injured by the sandwich, but he felt the impact through his ballistic vest.
The sandwich came apart and "kind of exploded" on his chest upon impact, he says.
"I could smell the onions and mustard."

Chicago street vendors are being targeted by ICE & Border Patrol agents. As a result, many are staying home and not able to work. Preorder and $8 per shirt will go towards the Street Vendors Association of Chicago who offer financial assistance to vendors who stay home.

Today was a heavy one. I know folks are hurting over the harms our best efforts didn't prevent. It's not a fair fight, and these things are going to happen. Too often, the best we can do is document the damage done.
