Hello, everyone!
I am slowly going to migrate over here.
I don't know if I'll delete my Twitter account yet as there are many art and news accounts I follow there that I don't know will be here.
Happy to see you!

Weathering a sizeable snowstorm this weekend.
If you are, too - may you be safe!
It is nice to be huddled in while the world is coated in a white anew, but nonetheless, I am ready for the Spring.

I spent the morning at the San Antonio immigration court. It’s out of control.
Crawling with ICE - arresting legal immigrants showing up for court appearances.
I asked one officer who they are prioritizing. His answer: everyone.
I need to share with you what I saw.

Let's talk about the midterms.
ICE is terrorizing and punishing blue states and cities to suppress your votes using fear from ICE- yes it's already started.
Blue states need to wake up and have a plan to deploy the National Guard to protect polling stations & voters from the federal government!

French people hold such arrogance when they talk. It is off-putting.

The only French person I like is Macron. 🤣
