Breaking: ICE is now reportedly following white people on grocery runs in Minnesota, suspecting they're delivering food to neighbors too afraid to leave their homes.

Neighborhood instructions:

Don't put the address in your phone.

Don't use GPS.

Write it on paper.

And if you get stopped, eat it.

At the end of the day, the Black Lives Matter era was about whether people should be killed in the street, and lots of people decided yeah and put those little blue flags on their cars. It spread to everyone because it stopped for no one.

Finally playing #Road96, and it's intense and riveting. Political narrative where your choices can mean life or death, not just for you but for the teens who come after you. Can you get your teen runaways to the border and freedom? Can you change the world?

Highly recommend.

I have repaired the worm. I have repaired the worm in the kintsugi style. There is gold between its dismantled selves—gold flesh, as soft as the moist soil-sprites. It lives again, and it is whole

Brutalist doves have evolved to blend in with the cold concrete archways. To watch them launch from the overpass is mystical: it appears the bridge is crumbling upwards

36 people have died at ICE's hands in the past year

may of these deaths did not happen on camera, but it does not make them any less horrifying and unacceptable

this is a list of their names, where they lived before being abducted, and a link to crowdfunding if i can find it
