I love the art in Rigsby WI. (I love the writing, but I love the art more.)
I like to draw faces, here is a big collage of some choice faces from Rigsby WI chapter 4

one of the most important lessons we can learn in this moment is that we have no democracy. There is no consent of the governed. Elected officials do more to stifle popular will than fulfill it. We have no democratic input on national security or economy, abstracted away behind bureaucracies.
Majority of the country now wants to abolish and/or dismantle ICE and yet Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y. told the caucus the message had to be to “restrain, reform and restrict ICE.”
Once again it looks like Schumer is about to choke after getting a massive opportunity.
So pathetic and weak.

Two sources who were on a Democratic caucus strategy call Sunday said Minority Leader Chuck Schumer told the group the message must be to “restrain, reform and restrict ICE.”

I’d just like to point out it appears Alex Pretti was holding an iPhone in his hand just before he was murdered by Trump’s lawless thugs. Tonight Tim Cook attended a private screening of Melania’s movie at White House.
Let that sink in.

This is some fucking journalism.
A few months ago, ICE hired me
I didn't sign and submit any paperwork. I almost certainly failed the drug test. I'm real outspoken about my opposition to the Trump administration, and I am extremely googlable
And yet, there it was, in plain English. "Welcome to ICE!"
My latest for Slate

You’ve Heard About Who ICE Is Recruiting. The Truth Is Far Worse. I’m the Proof.

The woman killed by ICE today was a poet. She won the 2020 Academy of American Poets, University & College Poetry Prize at Old Dominion University.
(And this is Renee from confirmed socials- a photo of a different woman with red lipstick is going around, but that was a classmate.)
