My friend Will wrote an essay about what's been going on the last few months here in MPLS, and it is beautiful, and absolutely worth your time... (And don't be fooled by the NY Times headline; it may well make you tear up... ...but in a good way.)

ICE activity has not noticeably tapered off yet here and in fact this week they seem to be focused on terrorizing kids at bus stops and schools.
yes, there are no real signs of any big change in DHS activity here yet. In Chicago there really was after Bovino left and they basically ended "Midway Blitz" not so here so far.
I don’t know, declaring victory in MN seems premature. They’re still arresting people and brutalizing the community. The changes appear—so far—to be cosmetic

We have a constitutional obligation to provide oversight. To ASK QUESTIONS. And for our questions to be met with handcuffs is UNACCEPTABLE.

I'm having another mental breakdown — but is it?
in some places there are loud groans and torn clothes with every stab of grief
here, we hold it all in
until our hearts fail
make ourselves "okay"
until we don't
you call me crazy
but I say living

Literally taking from the poor to give to the rich. I am so full of grief and anger.
At the center of the sweeping bill is trillions in tax cuts, which Republicans aim to partially offset through changes to safety net programs like Medicaid and SNAP.
Here's what's in the GOP megabill that's just passed the House
