Things are still scary and uncertain here in Minnesota but the community is strong and so is our love #iceoutcomics #iceoutmlps

St Pete fights back against hate via the skies. /

I urge you to stop what you're doing and watch Alysa Liu's free skate from yesterday. I have never seen anything like this. I understand why sports writers are born now. I have never seen anyone as free from the burdens of this world as this pierced Oakland girl spinning to Donna Summers.

THE HOBBIT (1977): DOPESMOKER EDITION A fan edit by me that pairs the beloved Rankin/Bass animated Hobbit movie with the legendary sounds of Sleep's collosal single track album DOPESMOKER. Get it here: drive.google.com/file/d/16tci...

This is a powerful, grounded account of community resistance in the face of still-ongoing brutality. We'd encourage folks to read it for a reality check about what's going on in Minneapolis. Article edited by @davidforbes.bsky.social

New — I spoke to eight people who were present at the ICE protest on Saturday in Portland, Oregon when federal agents deployed tear gas and rubber bullets into a crowd of families, children, elderly and disabled people, and their pets. These are their stories:

twin cities drum collective protest against ICE on nicollet mall in downtown minneapolis. drummer in front of the mary tyler moore statue has a trans rights flag and the other drums say “PRINCE WOULD BE PISSED” and “ICE OUT”

art shanties. so odd and so delightful and so minneapolis.

And Pahlish, also MN based, have Melt Ice for sale and the proceeds go to the family of Renee Good.

If you're a nail polish person, the MN-based small polish maker Atomic Polish is selling Ice Out, and 100% of the proceeds of it are going to the Immigrant Rapid Response Fund

Some counterprogramming, in a world gone mad: Trans people have found one another on the internet since the 1980s. This fascinating reported story looks at early internet communities for trans people, how they've changed and evolved, and what doesn't change. www.assignedmedia.org/breaking-new...

A beautiful and sad and honest piece by my friend Adrianne Wright:

A lot more people should know about the bravery Marimar Martinez displayed in the midst of Chicago’s occupation and the murder of two observers in MSP. They tried to kill her, shooting her 5 times, and it’s a miracle she’s alive to push for transparency like this after being persecuted by the DOJ.

Modern Times is a South Minneapolis staple, and a personal favorite haunt. For the duration of the occupation they're renaming themselves Post Modern Times and going to a donation-only model. Everyone but ICE can eat for free. Donations: Venmo: moderntimescafe givemn.org/story/centralimpactfund

People at taken to Whipple are released into the cold in whatever they were wearing without their phones and IDs. Volunteers meet them at release (or find them left in parks and the woods) get them a burner, warm clothes, food, a ride home, etc (GFM in next post) www.instagram.com/reel/DTzJde9...

When American troops start handing out treats, historically, freedom is not the next thing they dole out

The scene right now in Minneapolis at a vigil for Alex Peretti at the location where he was murdered. I wil be here all week reporting for @statuscoupnews.bsky.social

"In the central Iraqi city of Fallujah, the joy of pregnancy is overshadowed by dread." "Each year, newborns bear the silent inheritance of war: cancers, twisted limbs, missing organs." "I just want to be like other kids." #Iraq #USA #Healthcare #Military #Climate

The march is now passing the Chicago city hall / Cook County hall building. The chant goes up, "Minnesota don't you fear, we, the people, are right here"

After DHS retreated from Nicollet Ave after murdering ICE observer Alex Pretti, community members flocked to where he was killed, creating barricades for the purpose of protecting the space from federal agents who may want to return to unleash chaos on mourners. 1/

There's a prison revolt at a concentration camp in Texas in solidarity with Minneapolis:

Italian voice actor Carlo Bononi was the voice of all of the characters on Pingu. A trained clown by trade, he used a theater technique called grammelot, which consists of "speaking" in a mix of babbled gibberish noises. He improvised all the voices live and unscripted.
