For those who can, here are links to donate directly to local efforts on the ground resisting ICE's terrorizing of Minneapolis. Let me know what you donated to where, and I'll match it until I get a panicked call from my bank!

People get their news via social media these days. Newspapers always have a comics section, because if there's not something good to look forward to, people stop showing up to learn about the bad. So post your art &don't feel bad about it. We're the cheese wrapped around these hard to swallow pills.

TTRPG friends, Matt, our friend and community member @nurdrocks.bsky.social has been taken by ICE while his back was turned, peacefully protesting. Matt is the founder of Justice Frontline Aid that provides aid & education in the MN community. I've linked the video footage below. Do not stay silent.

It's the last day of #BirdArtWeek2026! Today is #CharismaticEndemics. The Ipswich Sparrow has a fairly broad range, so it isn't technically endemic to one spot, but it breeds ONLY on tiny, beautiful Sable Island, Nova Scotia (better known for its sand dunes and feral horses!).

For me, I've found donating to organizations and mutual aid groups or to people who just need some extra money to get by is a real sanity-saver in these times of feeling helpless but full of rage.

Everything is awful, but I'm really encouraged and amazed by the amount of community organizing I've seen. There's so many people on our side, who share values and ideals, who put in the work. People look out for each other. We're seeing the worst of our society, but we're also seeing the best.

i think if i had, say, the political power of a governorship, i might go down to the scene of the execution of one of my constituents and personally demand the feds leave or arrest me

you either have legitimate authority in your state or you're powerless, may as well make it clear which
I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had it. This is sickening.

The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.

ICE just shot another one of my neighbors. They had the person on the ground, being beaten by several agents, and then fired multiple shots. In front of the donut shop where we like to get donuts for our kids.

There is no other way to characterize this than an execution.

Yesterday, Minneapolis conducted a general strike against ICE.

Today, ICE responds by murdering someone in cold blood in the street.

#BirdArtWeek2026 continues with #PhotoNotAvailable! Titanis Walleri, a giant "terror bird" that was alive during the Pliocene and Pleistocene. It was the only bird of its kind (that we know of) to travel north into what is now Turtle Island (North America).

Greenland is Inuit Land. US & Europe playing tug of war with Kalaallit Nunaat, it will be Indigenous people who suffer most. Colonization is not a distant history.

Under a colonial system built on white supremacy violence never disappears it only reiterates itself, sometimes dressed up differently.

I need everyone to understand that this could not happen anywhere else exclusively because the people of minnesota started showing up for george floyd and then never stopped

this isn't a "sudden event", this is the culmination of nearly seven fucking years of steady leadership and participation
National media should really be covering the fact thay every major school, museum, and arts institution in the Twin Cities, and hundreds of local businesses are closed tomorrow to protest federal occupation.

Nothing like this at this scale has happened anywhere in America anytime in living memory.

I was just thinking about how I'm having a good day compared to yesterday and immediately my bunny slippers got caught on a chair and I was a millisecond of flailing away from falling on my face. remaining humble at all times etc.

I’m tearing up, reading this thread
I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

Over halfway through #BirdArtWeek2026! For #SpectacularSeabirds I chose the American White Pelican. I am awed by how graceful they are in the air despite their bulk.

A bit more about my thoughts and color choices on my blog.
