ICE is running a “conveyor belt” of illegally detained Minnesota families.
Agents are arresting entire families with legal status and immediately shipping them off to Texas to deny them legal representation and avoid the federal courts in Minnesota.
The cruelty is endless.

Sunday sketches. One of my favorite winter bird visitors is the white-throated sparrow. I love their little yellow eyebrows.

I’m busy working on lots of new ideas, keeping some quite spontaneous. I’ve got spring on my mind because I’m feeling a little tired of cold damp winter weather. I’m also enjoying using Schminke’s granulation watercolour paints

Black History Month is a time to recognize the lived, shared experience of all Black folks who have fundamentally shaped, challenged, and ultimately strengthened America. It’s about taking an unvarnished look at the past so that we can create a better future.

I also feel this about court cases. They're largely ignoring rulings where they want to, but it's important we have the cases on record and documented for building whatever comes after this and holding people accountable later. They want it to feel useless so we stop trying; we can't hand them that
I'll be honest, I don't expect fair elections for the midterms. But I'm going to push for voting anyway because we can't just hand this country over to them. We've got to fight to the bitter end to restore Democracy in this country.

A lot of "why isn't anything happening after the Epstein release yesterday?" and I have to ask: what did you think would happen? They control the levers of power that could bring prosecution, and there's nothing there the victims haven't already shared. Nothing will happen while they're in power. 1/

Don't forget, today is Ice Out blackout. IF YOU CAN without harm to yourself or others, no work, no shopping. If you do need to shop, keep it small and local as much as possible.
On 1/30 we are shutting it down, and, on 1/31, we are gathering across the country to demand ICE Out of Everywhere, permanently!

ICE is upset that ICE isn't welcome in restaurants after ICE ordered food at a restaurant, ate it, then arrested restaurant employees, and ICE believes this is someone else's fault, do I have that right?
