ICE makes our communities less safe—and its reckless actions endanger us all. Now more than ever, it's important that people know their rights and understand the rights of others. Visit aclu.org/kyr to learn more. www.vermontpublic.org/local-news/2...

At a time when ICE is rounding up 5-year-olds, terrorizing communities and killing American citizens, the last thing we should be doing is increasing its funding. I will vote NO on the upcoming spending bill to fund Trump's domestic army.

Last night with no warning, RFK Jr. cancelled up to $2 billion in funding for mental health and substance abuse research and programs administered through SAMHSA. He and his minions did so because “they no longer believe the defunded programs align with the Trump administration's priorities”.

Minneapolis, Minnesota
For Renee Nicole Good
Killed by ICE. on January 7, 2026
by Amanda Gorman
They say she is no more, That there her absence roars, Blood-blown like a rose.
Iced wheels flinched & froze.
Now, bare riot of candles, Dark fury of flowers, Pure howling of hymns.
If for us she arose,
Somewhere, in the pitched deep of our grief, Crouches our power,
The howl where we begin,
Straining upon the edge of the crooked crater Of the worst of what we've been.
Change is only possible, & all the greater, When the labour
& bitter anger of our neighbors
Is moved by the love
* better angels of our nature.

If you want to read “Why I Love the Vermont Green,” I’ve taken pictures of the little zine for you. Of course it’s nicer if you can hold it in your hands. But here’s the zine in full (1/2) #WILtVG
A green cover of a small minicomic called “Why I Love the Vermont Green” Zine text: “The Vermont Green, a USL-2 soccer team, plays pretty near my house. Partway through the 2025 season, I started going to the soccer games. It turned out that I really loved watching these games! I was instantly a fan! But I am really, seriously, not a sports guy. What was it that made me love the Vermont Green?”

This text is accompanied by simple black-and-white drawings of men playing soccer. Arnaud Tattevin is recognizable. Zine text: “WAS IT JUST AN EXCUSE TO BE OUTDOORS IN THE GORGEOUS VERMONT SUMMER? WAS IT THE CLUB'S ENCOURAGEMENT FOR FANS TO SIT PICNIC-STILE ON A NEARBY HILL WHEN THE BLEACHER SEATS WERE SOLD OUT?
WAS IT THE PLAYMAKER JULIEN LE BOURDOULOUS DARTING UPFIELD PAST DEFENDERS LIKE A HUMAN DRAGONFLY?
WAS IT THE SUPERHUMAN REACH AND MASSIVE HANDS OF THE KEEPER NIKLAS HERCEG?
WAS IT THE TIME BERNIE SANDERS SHOWED UP AT HALFTIME TO GIVE THE TEAM HIS BENISON?”

Illustrations somewhat crudely show the things the text is talking about. Zine text: “Was it the club’s loud and proud commitment to environmental and social justice?
“Was it Maxi Kissel scoring the national championship goal for the Green just months after doing the same thing for the UVM Catamounts?
“Seriously, I’ve watched that goal so many times. It couldn’t have been cleaner or more elegant if there hadn’t been a single defender on the field.”

More soccer drawings, including a diagram of the championship goal, with the clock at 90:15: a combination from Le Bourdoulous’s corner kick to a quick bit of fielding from Zach Zengue to a tap-in from Kissel. “The crowd erupts.”
