Another question I came here with was: how effective are the whistles and honking? Does it stop abductions? And the answer is, surprisingly to my cynical self, yes, and often. I have talked to so many people who have successfully interrupted kidnappings.

Here is a horrible thought that just crossed my mind - they are shipping people from MN to El Paso Texas - to a tent camp - and they have a massive cold/snow front coming.
How many more detainees will die?
How many of them will be children?
How many will be legally in this country?

ICE is going to orphan Black Haitian and Somali children with forced deportation that vacuum them into our carceral foster and juvie system- than immediately into the prison pipeline for a lifetime of cyclical state sanction enslavement.

Talked to a Somali man today who said his mosque last night was surrounded by neighbors ready to protect them against ICE if needed. Made me feel proud to live in this city.

The CEOs of two major NYC hospital systems rake in over $16M and $26M per year 💸 Meanwhile, nearly 15,000 nurses are walking off the job--demanding safe staffing, fair pay, and protection from workplace violence. This is standing up for dignity.

Trump did something that actually benefited me: he declared 12/24 a federal holiday, and while I work for a sovereign nation, the decision was made to give us it off as a paid holiday. So we have the 24th through the 26th off, and I'm taking off until 1/5. Weeee!

This week, the Oscars shortlist for Best Animated Short Film was announced and Pow! was not on it. And that’s okay!
My goal with Pow! wasn’t to win an Oscar, it was to show that a Native made animated short film could compete at the highest levels of animation.
