SO close! 82% there. Please help immigrants in Minneapolis who have lost income and are still sheltered in place - for good reason. ICE is still here. Folks in the Twin Cities have given to the point of pain. If you don't live here, can you help? We just need a bit more to reach our goal! MIIGWECH
Help me and my Honey raise a little rent. It's still cold and very icy in MN, and we are on the brink of mass evictions. Little donations, huge donations - all good! Miigwech!

My current PoeS.A project is "JustUs," a crowd-sourced poem on justice. My work is supported by a Camille Gage memorial fellowship. I loved and admired Camille and so this is a great honor. She always met moments of injustice with art-in-action. I'm humbled by her memory.

WE ALREADY HAVE OUR THIRD PARTY. WE ARE IT: “They’re never going to run for office, and those grass-roots leaders brought this administration to their knees this week to do something about it. So there’s other ways to serve, and I’ll find them,” Gov. Tim Walz, the 2024 Democratic VP nominee.
I really want ppl w/o Minneapolis connections to understand You might've heard that Mpls public schools went hybrid bc so many families are in hiding. Well, a coworker just told me that today, during his kid's hybrid class, a kid's apt building was raided onscreen *Everyone has stories like this*
There is a grave moral consequence to letting this go on. Shut down the government, have a general strike, grind the country to a halt, hit the streets. But not treating a demented administration lying about its thugs committing cold-blooded murder as an emergency? That is an emergency in itself.
I would like to tell you the wild dream I had this morning, but then you would all know that I watched that m-fer and The Great and sitcoms set in 1990's NYC before scrolling my suddenly quite queer socials. And I couldn't do that.

Ruth Zakarin@ruthz.bsky.social · 10mo agoZohran Mamdani doesn’t make me, an American Jew, feel unsafe. Having the Coast Guard, which falls under the Department of Homeland Security, decide that a swastika isn’t really a symbol of hate? That makes me, an American Jew, feel pretty damn unsafe.
