I met Jason Sole one year ago today. 🎉 He sent me his TED talk on LinkedIn. I didn't know him. I assumed he was selling something, the way many people are. He was not. He shared his talk, said he was waiting on a pardon decision, and asked for good vibes. That was it. Just a man sharing his work.

We raised the kind of money the state government should have been responsible for. A long time ago, somebody had the idea of billing the government for the volunteer hours worked during the surge. I still think that’s a great idea.

When I first watched Jason Sole's TEDx Talk, almost a year ago now, it was of the most honest things I'd watched in a long time. He walks through what it means to survive the system, to be branded as inmate 204956, and to find his way back to himself through community.

Macklemore stood in front of 80,000 people and said "Free Palestine." He said criticism of Israel is not anti-semitism. He said "Free Lebanon," "Free Cuba," "Free Congo," "Free Sudan," and "Free all people in America living in fear over this terrorist organization ICE."

I think people not in Minneapolis really do think sentiment has faded here but everyone I know has stayed angry. If every single person protesting JL had been arrested and jailed and there was another shitbag to protest the next day, another hundred of us would have come out.

I can't believe we're only a little over a month away from a full year of the current ICE occupation. At least 5,000 mothers, fathers, sons, daughters, sisters, cousins, aunties, uncles, and neighbors, taken from us. Ripped from our neighborhoods without our permission or consent. 💔

🧵 A few thoughts on the geography of #SaintPaul 's shifting homeless encampments. The Fish Hatchery camp that Mayor Her forcibly cleared this week was on some of the most isolated land in the city, over 2 miles from downtown StP, surrounded by RRs, river, highways, & cliffs.

Sepia colored page with text on it. A poem by Len Pennie from the book Poyums:

40 Seconds

Put 40 seconds on the clock.
Who would choose misery? Who would choose pain?
If sunshine's an option, why would we choose rain?
We just want to be happy and healthy and free;
I just want to exist and let myself be me.
Yet something within me is making me cry --
There's a foot on my neck and a knife in my eye.
There's a black dog with jaws biting raw at my soul;
There's so much within me that I can't control.
And I just want to feel for a tiny wee while;
I just want to laugh and to dance and to smile.
And I'm so bloody lucky that you know my name,
Because there's so many people who can't say the same.
I'm telling you this for all of our sakes,
It's one in every 40 seconds that suicide takes.
And since you've been here reading, and I've sat and cried,
Another good person has just bloody died.
Stop the clock.

I can't think about wrongful convictions like this for too long before my blood pressure gets dangerous. Millions is a small price to pay for the damage we did to this man in the name of justice. This state took 20 years of his life from him. He was a teenager when he went in.

I am so tired of this shit. It's 2026. When exactly do our "leaders" plan to grow up? I hope it's while they are still in positions of authority and have the power to do something about the harm they've caused. If you can write an email, it helps. It doesn’t have to be as angry as mine.

A screenshot of a sent email, by me to Richard Carlbom:

Subject: Urgent, due to mishandling

Mr. Carlbom,

Your mishandling of the Feminist Caucus debacle and and all the events since has been highly disturbing. I am calling on you as a MN citizen and voter, to hold an emergency meeting of the State Executive Committee to investigate dereliction of duty by the Code of Conduct Committee.

Your absolute refusal to adhere to the vision and values of the DFL or care about the safety and wellbeing of people who are different from you has been witnessed by anyone paying attention for the past 255 days. It can't go unanswered for.

Do your job.

With respect that reduces every day you refuse to face this,

Katie Stairs

Ah. I was wondering how they were succeeding in only allowing us Klobuchar as an option for governor. I don't know the details of this situation, but I received their manipulative, victim-blaming letter after the Feminist Caucus debacle, so I know Carlbom is disgusting. The DFL needs an overhaul.
