What first made me a feminist was this gross program for men at our evangelical church called "Dad: The Family Shepherd" which was all about how men are ordained by god to be leaders of everyone. Eight-year-old me saw right through that bullshit. And then ten-year-old me read my mother's copy of Outrageous Acts & Everyday Rebellions and I became a rabid wolf baby feminist against the Dad Shepherd nonsense. I also loved Revolution from Within, though a lot of critics panned it for being too "soft" about feminism. I found the self-esteem model to be revelatory and I appreciated Gloria Steinem's efforts to collaborate with women of color in all her speaking events and organizing. The wrong people keep dying these days. Gloria, thank you for making a home in this world for women like me.

Art is a mirror of our experiences - both individual and collective. This year's MN State Fair Fine Arts exhibit is a reminder that we've all been through some shit this year. Powerful stuff.

No one’s calling it Lake America. “Lake America” is what you name a summer camp for soft children who say, “Don’t you know who my father is?” after a t-ball stand strikes them out

Apparently ICE arrests are at an all-time high and I'm guessing they've managed that by decentralizing. Focus on a specific urban area, and you get a lot of targeted resistance. Anyway, helpful reminder that ICE are literally everywhere and we should all be watching out for our neighbors.

If you live in an area that has pockets of immigrants, and you think nothing is happening with ICE, you are probably wrong. I've been hearing about things happening EVERYWHERE right now.

This morning in Danbury, ICE was arresting parents at school bus stops. But it’s more sinister. ICE waited until the kids were on the bus so when they are dropped off at the end of the day, they are alone, scared to death they can’t find their parents. I’m heading to Danbury.
