As someone who lives in MN Don’t believe what they tell you. I have been hearing helicopters every night this week. They turn their trackers off—that’s how we know they are DHS. They are only changing tactics.

TBR Tuesday 📚 True to the Game is an urban lit classic, that I hope is just as good as Dutch. Clay Cane’s book takes on a perspective I’ve always wanted to read. I’ve been enjoying this jazz album, I like the saxophone and piano upbeat melodies. What’s new on your TBR? #blackbooksky #urbanlit

please remember that no matter how many “ICE is losing in MN” articles you read today, there is still a very real, urgent, ongoing crisis in Minnesota. people need food and they need rent money. that has not changed.

Sunday, at least 7 ICE agents stormed a house and took an elderly man out into the freezing cold, wearing only his underwear and a blanket. He was a member of the Hmong community, which came to the area from Laos in the 1970s after siding with the US in the Vietnam War. Notice the suppressors 1/2

Today I lost an NIH grant training clinicians to do research about intimate partner violence with perinatal women. More women are murdered in the perinatal period than die of obstetric complications. I didn't just lose a grant. We lost an entire cohort of people building careers to prevent that.

Happy pub day to Malinalli by Veronica Chapa! One of my most anticipated reads, a retelling of the very controversial historical figure in Mexican history- Malinalli, known by many names like La Malinche. Thank you Primero Sueños Press for this beautiful copy & papel amate bookmark #booksky

Book titled Malinalli by Veronica Chapa on brown wood floor next to green plant and paper bookmark with bird painted in yellow. Quote from book towards the middle: "
Long ago, our world, with all its mystery and magic, was carried on the back of a crocodile. One misstep and we would all plunge into darkness.
By the time I was born, the earth had already been created and destroyed four times.
