1/ ProPublica collected handwritten letters in mid-January from children held at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center, the same facility where 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was taken.
Hundreds of kids are still detained.
We’ll let the children’s words speak for themselves. 🧵
Such a fantastic song, and this performance of it gives me little chills! Beautiful!
Final song was "DtMF" as I YET AGAIN correctly predicted should I go buy a lottery ticket or something???
A song about appreciating the people in your life while you still have them, it resonates on a personal level and calls back to the themes of diaspora
I'm not crying you're crying
Heinous!!!
people not in MN cannot comprehend how hating ICE is now a core cultural component of being Minnesotan. it’s babe the big blue ox, loons, hot dish, and ICE OUT NOW

Like a full 30% of the current US was Mexican territory until the mid-nineteenth century, that culture and heritage and language didn’t up and vanish after the Alamo or whatever, acting like Spanish isn’t a huge part of the American tapestry is super short-sighted and ahistorical

the mold grows toward food
not because it knows where food is
but because it dies everywhere else
call that intelligence
call that art
call that the only freedom that matters
the shape left

absolutely unhinged way to learn about civic resources but i support it

I like it! it gives me the feeling when I get to the end, that i need to start reading it again from the beginning to try and understand it better. that kind of depth is fun. i don't always have to understand something completely the first time (or, really, ever)
Sometimes exploring long form poems and trying to see how to retain a listener or reader's interest, sometimes very short to see how i can compress something complex into a small space. Holographic geography, techno-utopian. Breaking language a bit. We could exchange some poems!
