An intro: I'm a poet and performer; a lot of my actual work is visiting schools, colleges, etc. to use art as a doorway into dialogue—about power, agency, counter-narrative masculinity, and beyond.

We need accountability for our neighbors and for this whole corrupt department to be dismantled.

A really good statement about today.
It affirms every caveat about how Homan can't be believed, how vigilance must be maintained, and how the work continues... while also having the tone of a movement that is winning. The appearance of victory can be demobilizing; this is a call to keep showing up.

I am proud of you and our immigrant residents. Your resiliency, strength, and dedication have led to the announcement that “Operation Metro Surge” will end soon. 1/

This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paul—an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.

Hundreds of kids are still detained.

Will happily delete if wrong, but all the “bad bunny gave his grammy to Liam Ramos” posts really feels like a case of how misinformation spreads in real time - one person says “it looks like him” and another QTs it like “it sure does!” and then it’s a fact.

Layers:
1. What ICE/CBP is doing isn't making us safer.
2. When ICE/CBP does their work "the right way," it ALSO doesn't make us safer.
3. Human beings deserve respect and care no matter their status, language, or background. If "leaders" can't say that, everyday people can lead by shouting it.

I am not going to repost the vile and racist image that Trump posted last night of President & First Lady Obama because it is beyond disgusting. Trump is a vile racist as is every Republican that continues to support him. I don’t want to hear mumbling from Mike Johnson or stoic silence from Thune.

First year in forever that I'm in town for this, and I'm excited to (1) share a selection of my free zines (guante.info/zines) focused on creative resistance; and (2) facilitate a workshop 2-3pm on how zines can be practical tools for organizing and cultivating counter-narratives.
If you're near Minneapolis on Saturday, please consider coming out to the Twin Cities Zine Fest, where we'll have 80+ zinesters sharing their #zines & free workshops! tczinefest.org/tczf-2026/ #TCZF2026

Hi friends. The asks are many, but so are the needs.
I’m raising money to help keep ICE-impacted families housed. These are families that are behind on rent because primary earners were abducted or are out of work because of ICE.
The 1st family needs $1670 ASAP.
Please Venmo @jasonltnx w 🏠in note.

tomorrow i would really like to challenge a few folks with larger followings than me to adopt a rent and raise it in one day.
my little group chat and my followers have paid like 70 families rents in the past four days. i believe that some of y’all could help us keep one family housed.
