Finished W Moberg’s “The Emigrants”—first of 4. The brig Charlotta lost 8 of 78 from poverty on its way to America from Sweden, who lived in a hold through storms and sea-sicknesses. And what of my ancestors, and today's immigrants?

Trump's vindictive approach to immigration here in Minnesota has now reached new lows: targeting Somalis because an Afghan is accused of the murder in Washington D.C. He makes no sense and is supported by a fascist faction in D.C.

I dreamt teaching ESL. A student voice sang a line. A 2nd followed, a 3rd til the end when the class of immigrants rose and sang the end.
When you walk through a storm
Keep your chin up high
And don't be afraid of the dark
At the end of a storm is a golden sky
And the sweet silver song of a lark
When you walk through a storm
Keep your chin up high
And don't be afraid of the dark
At the end of a storm is a golden sky
And the sweet silver song of a lark

Walk on through the wind
Walk on through the rain
Tho' your dreams
Be tossed and blown
Walk on
Walk on
With hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone
You'll never walk alone
They then walked out to face ICE
