Just out here pushing books. And learning. And finding ways to fight fascism. And eating up tiny moments of joy wherever I can.

Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning.
Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

MAINERS, HEADS UP:
Expect this here, too. Be on the lookout.
They're gonna look like I do in winter, tbh.
They may start dressing more and more like us and pretend to be delivery drivers, health care (as they did in Portland already).
Please give a listen, share, & be careful.

A big part of the story here is that women like Renee Good are braver and stronger than they could have ever imagined and that just doesn't fit with what MAGA men tell themselves about how gender works. It just does not compute.

Minnesota National Guard members have arrived at a federal building and were directed to distribute donuts, coffee, and hot chocolate to anti-ICE protesters. Guard members were issued reflective vests so they would not be mistaken for federal agents.

I got home and slept for four hours midday. My brain just can't process it all and go on as if it's business as usual.
there are almost always many crises, some humanitarian some political, going on at the same time and every one of them deserves attention and resources and action
*you* do not have the attention and resources and actions to dedicate to every crisis and that sucks and i'm sorry

Lewiston city official to me just now: "I fear ICE is going to be much more successful here than in other places (successful in fomenting terror and Creating Content) because of our low population base. A few hundred agents here will be orders of magnitude more effective than in a major metro area."
ICE is headed to Maine
The Mayors of Portland and Lewiston confirmed Wednesday ICE's imminent presence.

A buddy in MN shared a drawing a classmate of his kid made. They've been making thank you notes for parents who have volunteered to carpool them to school so their own parents don't have to risk waiting out by the bus stop.
