Wondering what is on your ballot for the election? Are there special ballot measures you'll be voting on? Who is on the ballot? Check on your ballot at the following websites: Marion County, Indiana: vote.indy.gov/sample-ballot/ Other Indiana Counties: ballotpedia.org/Sample_Ballo...

In the computer lab! Also, I did a speech on this exact topic: How Procrastination Helped Me Get an A". I got a C on the speech, but that's because I could barely stand in front of the class without breaking into a very obvious panic.

Floored by this story. A man wrote a pollite email to a federal prosecutor objecting to the deportation of an Afghan seeking asylum. DHS responded with an administrative warrant to get the man's info from Google, then visited his home to intimidate him.

I get tired of saying it, but I’ll say it again: the nature of oppression in America is that they workshop it first on Black, Latino, Asian & Native people. But it is always, in the end, coming for everyone.

This morning, I recorded a video on TikTok about why DHS’s arguments for the power to enter homes without judicial warrants in immigration cases are bunk. Nine hours later, TikTok still says my video is “under review,” and can’t be shared. Well, here’s a link: georgetown.box.com/v/Vladeck-IC...

Klobuchar: "Somehow 50,000 peaceful protesters in 10 below weather were able to march without any problems, and then the next day half a dozen ICE and CBP agents couldn't handle a guy with a cell phone taking video of them and shot him. I think it's pretty obvious what's going on here."

I always think the Stephen Miller is the most loathsome person in the Tump administration. And then Pamela Jo Bondi says something and I’m sure it’s her. And then Kristi Noem says something and I’m sure it’s her. Until Pete Hegseth opens his stupid mouth again. Until Donald tweets about himself.

All of this is fucking senseless. Minnesota did not have an immigration problem. Trump sent his Nazi thugs here because he's racist against Somali people and to own libs like Tim Walz. Now two Minnesotans are dead and Minneapolis is on the verge of going up in flames. None. Of. This. Was. Necessary.

I had to share. Found this poem about St. Paul, Minnesota ice from June Jordan in her 1980 "From America" poem from her book of poems, Passion. This was in my copy of "Directed by Desire" collected poems of June Jordan.
From America: A Poem in Process
June Jordan, from the collection Passion (1980)
Dedicated to Christopher David Meyer
ST. PAUL, MINNESOTA
Ice
Between me and the earth itself it’s ice
between me and the single runners single
houses single cars slid wide on ice
it’s ice
between me and the breath I need to melt
the frozen mouth of something soft
something mud
something conversational perhaps
it’s ice
I walk across the roots of trees
enormous elm tree shelters from the faraway
firing stars
elm trees scribbling a confusion of dark branches
that must mystify the simple
sky stretched into cloudy scar
tissues torn by snow and sleet interruptions
of a wan and waning
moan
I hear no whispering no shout no scream
I walk particular to keep upright the whole head cold
stung tight; It’s pick and toe to cross the ice
the massive avenues a fascist scale a
monumental holding action under gossamer
and glossy hoar frost assault
sweet home
sweet home
oh lord: I wonder
if I’m ever gone get
home
Carrying paperbag provisions from a supermarket
and the wolves leap closer howling
from the corners of a formal place
where little moves besides the moon
I am too small
to change anything at all
I am too small
to change anything at all
where little moves besides the moon

1/20/26 Watch this before telling healthcare workers to stay quiet. ICE presence inside hospitals puts patients, clinicians, and entire communities at risk. When people are afraid to seek care, health outcomes worsen, and lives are endangered. Civil rights violations in hospitals affect all of us.
