ICE has spent the past two months racially profiling Minnesotans. During my oversight visit to Whipple yesterday, I demanded they make a change and get their untrained agents off our streets. Kristi Noemβs DHS has inflicted lasting trauma on our community. I wonβt stop pushing for accountability.
"In Chicago, of 92 people arrested for assaulting or impeding officers last fall, 74 cases have resulted in no charges; in 13 cases, charges were filed and dismissed; and five charged cases were still pending *** As of the end of January, there have been no convictions."
Yet when I called foul on them showing up like this for Black Lives Matter event in our town, people thought I was overreacting. π
Not great but been sick this week and feel kinda proud of this one.

Seriously though who elected the ivermectin goofball to state office. Ugh.
I mean when you got worms you got worms! #bumworms #badblueyjoke #bluey
Iβm working on my first novel and have already had this sort of thing happen. Fiction is so trippy. Like this crucial think happens that defines so much but then it doesnβt work in the end and has to be cut. Newspaper writing kills darlings left and right but still hits different. Idk why.
Luckily today is even payday for me.
No-fault divorce is a public good and is abuse prevention. It is linked to declines in domestic violence (against and by both genders), female suicide (around 20%), and women murdered by intimate partners.
Defend it shamelessly.
"To be fair to the now fae-addled reasoning of the pub keep, er, bartender, as I helped her stand up, I did so with an inhuman ease that made it look like she was helping herself as well.
Even though she was out cold." #faun #badlands #littlepeople #fae #Lakota #epipen

The perils of school pickup as a legal observer.
Scary when all a governor in the United States can do is whine on social media. Iβm not entirely blaming him cuz he didnβt ask for this shit show in his backyard but at the same time witaf is it gonna take to stop this federal fuckery?
Pre-orders for @laurellkhamilton.bsky.social 10th Merry Gentry novel go on sale this week. She posted on her other socials but Iβm so excited I had to yell it around on #booksky lol.

Billie Eilish during her #GRAMMYs speech for Song of the Year:
βAs grateful as I feel, I donβt need to say anything except that, no one is illegal on stolen land. Itβs really hard to know what to say and what to do right now, I feel hopeful in this room and we need to keep protestingβ¦ fuck ICE.β
Thank you my love!
What America needs right now is a healthy dose of new imagination. Read fiction that decenters whiteness at the very least. Like this: ko-fi.com/s/320b941b9c
Abolish ICE
Well, at least some Republicans did the actually Christlike thing: vote no on coercion.
The federal presence in Minnesota has been especially tough on our local businesses.
Choosing to shop local, grab takeout, or visit a neighborhood store is one way we can stand with our neighbors and continue to show the nation what it means to respond with care and decency.
IDK but the more labeling (on food) the better. I figured it was kinda like COOL. Maybe Dakota Rural Action will know.
What's been happening in Minnesota and Eastern South Dakota got me writing about White Jesus, Thor, and Vikings-turned-farmers who unassumingly become our allies and kin. About time.

One benefit of living in Sodak I would hope! Actual meat.
As an FFA kid myself, the substitute ag classes make sense to me, honestly, depending on what type of secondary education if any someone wants to do. But not sports ffs. Unless theyβre getting sports medicine primers while on the bus or something to and from games.
