”abolish ICE“ means (1) abolishing a particular agency and (2) salting the earth so that nothing that does what it does can ever emerge again—no matter what it‘s called or who is in charge of it.

This morning in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man said goodbye to his wife and daughter and left for work. Moments later he was dead, shot in the head by ICE agents, the second man ICE has killed in six days. ICE is killing our neighbors. ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE.

ICE agents shouldn’t be executing people on the street even if they ARE the target of the warrant

There’s something extra unsettling about seeing a place so familiar in the headlines and on the news. We should feel the horrors for what they are, regardless of how “close” it feels to us personally, but damn, there’s no doubting the added impact of familiarity.

Biddeford is my hometown and where I spent the first ~20 years of my life. Minnesota has been home for ~15 years now. These 2026 headlines feel so surreal. And it’s a painful reminder that this is happening here, now, “close to home”All of our homes. Stay safe. Fuck ICE.

The number of bruises I have on my body because my 3yo wants to “cuddle” but can’t sit still and doesn’t understand how pointy their lil elbows are 🥴 Literally just looked at me and went “let me just scootch a little higher” as his heel dug into my calf and his elbow into my tummy.

My Threads feed is full of Black folks absolutely gutted and despairing over today’s Voting Rights Act ruling. I love Bluesky for so much, but today is one of those historical moments where it is stark that we really live in two different Americas.

You have more in common with the people of Iran than you do with anyone in this administration, any member of the technocracy, anyone who is profiting from this war, or any billionaire. When you see Iranians forming human chains outside key infrastructure sites, you should feel a sense of kinship.

One of my fav feelings is laying in bed (with a cat purring on top of me, of course) while listening to my kids play with my partner in the other room; their sweet little voices, the “daaadddy look at this” and the giggles from all of them. Grateful to have experienced this moment of peace today 🤍

Notice how the popular media narrative has moved on, while people on the ground in Minneapolis are still struggling and crying out that things are as bad as ever. This is how fascist regimes operate — overreach, recalibration, normalization. Get louder, not quieter.

Something important to understand about ICE thugs in the Twin Cities is that they're harassing innocent kids and parents at bus stops and schools every single day. Even after the Pretti shooting. It's terrorism.

I want to speak to white women directly. Not to shame you. But to offer a necessary mirror. Because what that reflection reveals isn’t just exhaustion. It reveals perspective. Many of you are only now recognizing what it feels like to mother without tenderness,

The mothers of this generation spent the last decade mothering under a Trump-pandemic-Trump sandwich. It fundamentally altered our experience.
We have been robbed of a soft motherhood journey. There is grief in acknowledging the mother we would have been in a safer society. There was no tenderness for us, only relentless triage. And yet... we kept caring for the children with steady stamina and abundant love. It's really impressive.
Be kind to the moms pls. We've been holding it all together.

Everything they learned in Minnesota they’re applying in Maine from day one. They started off doing fast-moving snatch and grabs on the street, recording and using facial id on observers, and threatening observers directly. They’ll do it all where you live too.

Transparently, part of what made me *really* learn this was when *my* kid became vulnerable (a rare scenario, given our demographic, but they have a chronic illness and we’ve navigated a lot re: pandemic, public health, etc). Recognize the harm of individualism before it becomes about *your* kid.

8yo when I asked if they wanted to talk about anything happening in our cities right now: “no, you’re like a mama bear, so I know I’m safe” which is 🥹😭🩵 But here’s the thing: if there is even one child in our community who isn’t safe, none of our children our safe. Individualism just doesn’t work.

Genuinely the only thing keeping me going—but it really is keeping me going—is how good it is to see people link arms and push for this to end. I cannot stop thinking about how much love people can have for their neighbors, and how much work and money is poured into breaking that love apart.
