Hi y’all. Things are off the rails in the U.S., and I’m here because what we need most in dark times is each other. In this release, I’m sharing excerpts from an earlier-this-week Patreon drop where I discuss how I’m coping and making my feelings of outrage actionable, specifically my fury toward federal agencies like ICE and Customs & Border Patrol whose history of violence against citizens of color and undocumented immigrants pre-dates the Trump Era (by a lot). I talk about how I’m investing in community and local action, and how you can, too. Let’s follow Minnesota’s lead and plug into active response networks in our own communities. Starting now.
