in case you missed it yesterday, we have released the cover for book 3 of the ANA AND DIN MYSTERIES, which is A TRADE OF BLOOD

The Andrew formerly known as “Prince.”

my friend said that the secret to mpls is lutherans + anarchists

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

Let’s put our heads together, and start a new country up.

Yes, exactly. What @lindzmcleod.bsky.social said. Except you’ll find me under ‘Bone-eater Earth’ which was in @unchartedmag.bsky.social. Super many thanks to @wishusdonna.bsky.social for pulling this book together. It looks wicked!

I know we are all tapped out, but if you have anything to spare, the mutual aid place I volunteer at is desperate for funds to keep the lights on and folks fec. Venmo: @chef-collective-1123 or casapp: $chefcollective1123. Please share widely.

Pretty wild that the hope for a timely myocardial infarction feels more realistic than the hope for impeachment

Bring back megafauna

Dem leadership: changing this is a difficult process, you fool. You rube. You utter infant. Give us between $5 and $50 Mamdani, wiping grease off his hands: So it turns out there's a switch on this machine that puts it into either orphan-shredding mode or free school lunch mode. Just had to flip it

Mystery Men I shovel well, I shovel VERY well

Our print editions have the art carefully placed across the spine to bridge the front and back cover. Here's how it will look to those who pick up a copy on Sunday

Hey y’all! The French Hen in St. Paul is hoping to support 5 employees who have been impacted by the federal government. These funds will help their employees with rent and bills during these hard times. Venmo: @ HENSOLIDARITYFUND

Small mercies - my job is so fun

brass solidarity band performing “stand by me” in the streets of whittier next to alex pretti’s memorial. the crowd started chanting “the people united will never be defeated” so they incorporated it into the song. i love minneapolis

Downfall Bovino Edition. You're welcome.

I am wearing a "some people are trans, get over it" t-shirt, and a man in a cafe just gave me two slices of cheesecake when I only ordered one. I can only assume that, as well as being the morally correct choice, supporting trans people also gets you free cake.

::checking my list to see who’s invited to the party:: oh hell yeah

Until every taqueria is open and partying without fear of ICE, I'm not letting off the gas

I just know that something good is going to happen I don't know when But just saying it could even make It happen

we made our christmas tree into an ICE effigy and burnt it in our backyard today

Things I would do to get ICE to leave my state: take in literally ANY of the "violent criminals" they have arrested during raids in my state, and allow them to live in my guest room indefinitely. Things I would not do: hand over our elections to that cheating fraud Pam Bondi.

“Woke Hoth” as knuckle tats

Sinners is a movie with the guts to say that no matter what you’re facing be it a gang of vampires or racism, it’s never a bad time to learn how to eat pussy good

ICE just crashed a car at my intersection (due to their own shitty driving) and immediately got out and tear gassed observers.

gotta shout out moon palace and boneshaker books, if you want to buy books from people who are very abolish ICE and end-policing aligned

The cool thing is that we know that every person out there in this cold is extra demoralizing to ICE and the administration. We fucking hate you so much and we’re prepared to stand outside in temperatures you can’t even fucking fathom to tell you that you suck absolute shit.

Today at pre-shift I led the staff in a “simultaneous cathartic wail” and it was very healing, I highly recommend

big shout out to everyone attempting to complete basic tasks

Elliot Payne for governor. That's it, that's the skeet!

This is CRITICAL. I know you’re all putting your back into mutual aid & a thousand other great things, but if there’s anything left here, so many folks depend on these front-line lawyers right now.

It's super cold this week and while that might make ICE miserable, it endangers the lives of our homeless neighbors. MIWRC is keeping people safe with the warming center, but needs funds desperately www.miwrc.org/donate

Can you help us support 3 different families whose lives have been changed due to immigration enforcement? This money will help them catch up on utilities and rent. Most importantly, it will keep their children safe, secure, and prevent them from losing their homes. gofund.me/a4b63a436

On the off chance you needed a story about a person who is part espresso machine experiencing job insecurity, boy do I have a story for you @radonjournal.bsky.social www.radonjournal.com/issue4/press...

Weather forecast says HIGH of MINUS TEN DEGREES this Friday in Minneapolis. It’s as if the land itself is on strike. The wind stands in solidarity with workers and immigrants. The polar vortex says FUCK ICE.

I’m not sure people outside the Twin Cites realize the prevalence and the fear ICE is causing in Twin Cities. They are dining undercover pretending to be couples at restaurants, they are going to businesses and checking the license plates of cars to find employees. Every public place is compromised.

DHS employees entered our store this afternoon and served us a Notice of Inspection, demanding copies of I9 forms for each employee. In 27 years as shopkeepers, we have never been subjected to this type of investigation.

I don’t think people quite understand that the occupation by ICE in the Twin Cities has more or less erased non-white people from public life. They cannot safely exist in any space accessible to the public and moving between private places leaves folks vulnerable to kidnapping by armed masked goons.

Coordinated a beer drop by a white friend to deliver a 30-rack of Hamm’s to a Hispanic friend’s doorstep because his wife wouldn’t let him leave the house to go buy more beer for fear he’d be brutalized by lawless armed masked federal paramilitaries. This is Minnesota community. We take care of us.

Less than $15k from the goal!

Twin Cities Leather (and adult toy store Smitten Kitten) have stopped regular operations to become a staging and delivery space for food and supply donations- they are requesting monetary donations to keep them afloat without any income www.paypal.com/paypalme/kpa...

This morning, @wellgoshacs.bsky.social asked me “what’s the mantra?”, expecting the response “the horrors persist but so do we.” I had just woken up so instead I said “Uh… spears shall be shaken, shields shall be splintered? Ride now, ride now, ride for ruin and the world’s ending? Death? Death!”

the problem with an untrained secret police squad that shoots people in their cars isn’t that they’re untrained

I also need you to understand UNDERSTAND that those murderous gestapo ICE bastards SAW HER AS A LESBIAN because her wife was right there, and they were very aware of her and her voice. Her Queerness is also why they killed her. And why they thought they could kill her. Understand that.

I wonder how many people consciously realize that the Nazis trying to post pictures of Renee Good where she looks very much like a lesbian is about trying to make sure everyone knows she's a Queer so killing her is okay they don't want people to see her as a suburban mom

Calls for civility are often weaponized by abusers, by bigots, by those who would oppress you. If it is considered impolite to speak out against dishonor, then it is time for a true warrior to be rude.
