I really enjoyed this Indigenous steampunk dragon tale, by Wampanoag author Moniquill Blackgoose. I finished it the very day the sequel was published, and convinced my local library to purchase it. I can't wait to dive back into that world.

ICE and CBP have been terrorizing Minneapolis and other American cities for months. Just this month, they have murdered two people in broad daylight, refused to allow medical professionals to render aid to the victims, and blocked state law enforcement from access to the crime scenes. They have abducted and nearly murdered babies and children. They are violating the US Constitution and many Federal, state and local laws. Any vote to continue funding these agencies is complicit in these crimes.
I am calling on you to abolish ICE, impeach Kristi Noem, and prosecute everyone involved in these actions.
