"his greed consumes him" (mixed media collage, 2025) #art #collage #mixedmedia

Thousands of people filled the streets of downtown Minneapolis in protest of federal immigration enforcement for the second consecutive Friday. 📷️: Aaron Lavinsky

The arrests of Don Lemon, Georgia Fort, and Jamael Lundy are unacceptable and a clear violation of the Constitution. This is a dangerous abuse of power that threatens the rights of every single American. They must be released immediately.

Greg Ketter, founder/owner of DreamHaven Books & Comics, Winner of the Will Eisner Spirit of Retail Award, 1999. As Greg has said here, the store's site has crashed from the traffic/flood of orders. But a GofundMe is still live to help with the store's renovation. www.gofundme.com/f/dreamhaven...

Quietly building a little discord for me to post my resources and hoping to connect with other MCAD alumni/students/dropouts. If you are a Comic bfa person, feel free to DM me if you want to just dump resources or look at what I post.

The Phillips neighborhoods are being targeted because it has the highest percent of residents who are not US Citizens. This fund will help feed, provide basic necessities and allow our immigrant neighbors to stay housed for 65+ families (and counting). gofund.me/4eaa6ea75

Renee Good and Alex Pretti were executed by the state. #AbolishIce #MeltIce

People are right to be incensed, but there are more names to uplift. ICE killed an immigrant man named Silverio Villegas González in Chicagoland. He had children. Victor Manuel Diaz was kidnapped in Minneapolis and died in ICE custody on January 14. Their names deserve to be repeated, too.

A moment of silence that ends with someone shouting "fuck ICE!" and the crowd roaring in response

Comics retailing legend Greg Ketter standing up to ICE in Minneapolis. Yes, that's tear gas. He's 70 years old.

Nation's largest nurses union repeats calls for ICE abolition, pledges to do "everything in our power to vote out any elected official who supports funding for this all-out assault on the health, safety, and civil rights of our people."

One last boost for the evening crowd. This has raised a truly staggering amount of money, thank you all!! Also a couple people have said this is one of their favorite videos of mine, which is very nice to hear.

Kare 11 local news just read, in full, this statement from Michael and Susan Pretti, the parents of Alex Pretti. "Please get the truth out about our son."

I have the right to free speech and protest. I have the right to bear arms. I have the right to a warrant. I have the right to a trial. ICE ignores all of this. They are unconstitutional and need to be abolished. They are out of control. Absolute maniacs facing little to no consequence.

One thing that irks me: people keep calling the folks on the streets in Minneapolis protestors. They are not generally there to protest, they are there to observe and document. This is the product of organizing and mutual aid. It is telling that these acts of citizenship are seen as protest!

Protester in Minneapolis just before disappearing in gas: "Fuck you! Stop. Damn! I'm 70 years old and I'm fuckin' angry!"

You: It can’t happen to me. The state: we looked into this white guy we killed and we do feel a need to bring up these parking tickets

This is being posted by someone on the MN city council and he said he's verified it in the thread, if you have any question about it.

Patronize as many of these businesses as you can before and after Friday.

DE ICER ICE OUT OF MN Powderhorn Art Sled Rally Minneapolis

Hey folks Calvary Food Shelf has been helping out people in Minneapolis for 30 years, and now they’re ramping up to meet the crisis, including doing home deliveries so people don’t have to risk going out. They’re just over halfway to their current goal—let’s get them all the way, shall we?

On my morning walk today I saw this one, which is one of my favs, on a power box. See many poster designs here: defend612.com/art/

I was desperate for some organization, so I put together a list of places you can donate or buy things for to support folks in Minnesota. If you have places for me to add, please DM me.

For those interested in volunteering at JUFS: I can say from experience that the front desk blocks (ie greeting, answering phones, helping ppl with appointments) are always the last to fill up. If you don't have phone anxiety AND can speak a bit of Spanish, this is a great thing to do right now.

I've volunteered for Second Harvest Heartland a lot, they're a real one. Remember cash is always best to donate for food banks because they can bulk order food at a way better rate than we can buy at grocery stores.

Daughter sent me this gofundme for one the MCAD facilities guys who got kidnapped by ice. She said “gerardo is one of the nicest people on campus too, he talks with everyone, literally wouldnt hurt a fly”. www.gofundme.com/f/support-fo...

If you're out observing ICE and need to use the bathroom, we're open from 11-6:30 and have three public restrooms. We've got a plunger and we know how to use it!
