"Louise Erdrich, Native American writer: ‘No one is illegal; we all have the same right to exist’

One of America’s most admired novelists, she owns a bookstore in the heart of the Minneapolis protests against Trump. In 2024, she published ‘The Mighty Red’

The conversation with Erdrich — who belongs to the Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa Indians, North Dakota — didn’t take place in person in Minneapolis. At the time, the city was occupied by 3,000 ICE agents dispatched by Donald Trump. Rather, EL PAÍS spoke with her by phone. Her reluctance to give interviews is well-known, but in this case, it was also due to a health issue that prevented her from participating in the protests as much as she would have liked.

One slogan was frequently repeated in the protests: “No one is illegal on stolen land.” It also resonated at the Grammy Awards, thanks to singer Billie Eilish."

So, to recap, we're deporting an entire family, including two Canadian babies, one with a lung disorder, because of their father's moment of distraction.

But we'll be keeping this guy.

Sometime back, I saw a post where the OP was suggesting temperature-checking people offering by offering them whistle kits and/or buttons. Can't find that post now, or I'd link right to it. Anyway, it inspired me to throw these together. To my knowlege, the photos are public domain; I just added the text. If anyone wants to use them for buttons, etc., have at it! (And if anyone in the DMV has a button maker, can I use it to make some for me?)
