I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had it. This is sickening.
The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.

A coworker took this from her apartment. I haven't seen a crowd this size before. Maybe the first Women's March? But it was much much warmer that day. ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA!

You don’t know your role yet maybe, but we are all finding out just what we have to offer.
In Minneapolis, one man knew immediately what he could offer and said “Bring me your clothing”.

I’m seeing posts from people (outside of MN) about how US citizens should carry their passports.
And let me say that *inside* MN, we are calmly responding to requests with: “No, I don’t have to show you any documentation.”
Because that’s how you protect everyone, regardless of immigration status.

In other news, got a Steam Deck a while ago and it's just...great. I love it. I've played more video games since I got it than in the past full year on my desktop game system. I just get so tired of sitting at my desk (I wfh so game desk and work desk are the same), so the Deck is just perfect.

Started my 2nd glaze chemistry course, and just did the 1st lab to test my glaze at different silica and alumina levels (mapped on a Stull chart below). I'm going to do a 2nd test like this at a slightly different part of the chart just to see what happens. This stuff is so fascinating, y'all.
