Writer, editor, and photographer thrilled (genuinely!) to live in Minnesota. [And I wrote that *before* our state began earning the world's admiration for standing up against fascism.]

The Trump administration is increasingly trying to criminalize observing ICE ICE officers often tell people tracking and watching them that they are breaking federal law in doing so, but legal experts say the vast majority of observers are exercising their constitutional right...

So anyway, I was tickled to hear fellow Minnesotan @whstancil.bsky.social on NPR (via MPR) this afternoon!

Interesting, though, that he referred to (just) the Kennedy Center.

We were there in 1993 (a frighteningly long time ago!). Hope to visit again someday. Lovely photo you took!

"...they hardly know they’re learning." That's the best!

The report on the team from Saturday morning was "People at the Robotics kickoff were told that ICE was outside. My husband confirmed from a second story window, said it was chilling. But they weren’t granted access and left." πŸ‘

I didn’t know he went to Roosevelt! I know a person who coaches the robotics team there. The school is scheduled to host a robotics competition this Saturday, and people are very worried ICE will show up again and/or students will be afraid to participate. πŸ™

Here's what I and a few other Minnesotan Indivisibles were up to during this morning's rush hour Our fifth annual Jan. 6 observation. Usually it's about 20 below zero, but this year we lucked out at 32 *above*! @indivisible.org @indivistwincities.bsky.social @indivisiblemn03.org

It’s interesting, isn’t it, how suddenly Venezuelans went from being rapists, gang members, and murderers to β€œgreat people”?
