A red hat, inspired by a symbol of resistance to Nazi occupation, gains traction in Minnesota A Minneapolis knitting shop has resurrected the design of a Norwegian cap worn to protest Nazi occupation. Its owner says the money raised from hat pattern sales will support the local immigrant community.

They’re taking kids from Minnesota and sending them to detention camps. They’re shooting American citizens in the street and locking investigators out of the crime scenes. The world is watching what happens next.

What do these corporations have in common?

-Amazon
-AT&T
-Home Depot
-Microsoft
-Palantir

They all reaped billions in tax breaks from Trump's Big Ugly Bill — and are actively collaborating with ICE's deportation machine.

Always follow the money.

Hell yeah. Hold the line. This is what we need people to do.

Slow things down, don’t comply in advance so the courts have time to stop them. It’s starting to work.

It has been the experience of a lifetime to be commissioned by the Metropolitan Museum of Art to write a poem (Now Beacon, Now Sea) for the Friedrich exhibit. I picked the painting Monk by the Sea. Rich & I got to meet the curatorial team at the opening. I’m very grateful.

Whew. The Gaiman story is horrifying on so many levels AND Amanda Palmer serving up vulnerable young women to him and exploiting someone for labor is also horrifying.

Now that this place is hopping, it might be a good time to remind #poets that our MFA application deadline is approaching here at UW-Madison! #mfa #creativewriting
