My ring from @peculiarityshop.bsky.social took the scenic route, going from MA to OH to St Louis (!?), and then, apparently, up the Mississippi by keelboat, but it's finally here! It's beautiful, fits perfectly, and I love it.

I wish MY Congresspeople were speaking out like this.
Rep. Rebecca Balint (D-VT) with her whole chest out says ‘it didn’t have to be like this I want to remind everyone who supersized the ICE budget, it was Trump and MAGA Republicans in Congress, they are who did this.’ Go off Becca, speaks that truth to power‼️💥🔥💥

The tailor drummers are great!
In this week's edition of: "I didn't know one could protest in so many ways:"
More than 60 Drummers 🥁 coordinated throughout downtown Minneapolis to play on different street corners and share a unified message that they want ICE out of their city. 🪘🙌🏻
I love their laugh at the end. 😍

All sorts of fun things to do in the winter here!
Up at Silverwood Park in St Anthony, MN, they built an ice carousel. Drill a hole in the ice, put in an outboard motor, cut the ice in a big circle, fire up the outboard, ice carousel.
People do fun weird shit outside in Minnesota all winter long. Park was packed. It’s delightful here.

I've known Dara for a long time. This is a beautiful account of what it means to be a parent right now, when ICE is everywhere and you want your kids to be fighters and safe simultaneously.
So happy this is resonating:
My teenager and I were one block from the intersection where Renee Good was shot in the face, an hour before it happened. What happens when you love that your kid wants to fight for her community, but you’re also desperate to keep her safe? trib.al/R8akYV2

My governor and federal reps should be holding press confs and going on tv telling people that one of the largest school districts is closed because of a federal gov’t-led ethnic cleansing campaign run by armed, masked goons who are brutalizing citizen observers and disappearing non-white neighbors.
This is the type of thing that I want my statewide-elected and federal officials to push back against. We are seeing the creation of a pretext for bringing in troops in real time and no one with the power to get an audience is standing up for us to tell America all of it is a fiction.
