Monday Update: We're out of anti-ice signs again, more on Friday. Also, we've made another round of donations, sending $1,000 to each of these 10 mutual aid and legal aid funds:

Every MN business that has said "Fuck ICE" is absolutely doing business right now. @mischieftoy.com was HOPPING when I stopped by for a yard sign. Dreamhaven books, same.

Oops, we're not polling well with Sanctimonious Men.

Happy 1500 Freshly Printed Protest Signs Day to all who celebrate. 💙 #AbolishICE

Would your local business or organization like to distribute free anti-ICE whistles? We've got plenty to share! Hit us up!

Yesterday, our puzzle shelf was empty 🫣. Thanks to quick shipments from PuzzleTwist and Puzzle Folk, we're restocked and ready to curb your cabin fever.

ATTENTION. We have created a T-shirt to celebrate our neighbors fighting back against fascists. All profits will go to the Hamline Midway Supply Hub, helping our neighbors sheltering at home. This is a pre-order. You have until Feb 20th to order this sexy beast. www.blackhartstp.com/new-products...

Buttons restocked! #NoPotlucksForFascists

25% fewer nazi goons kidnapping our neighbors is no cause for celebration, Czar Homan. When we say ICE Out of Minnesota, we mean #AbolishICE.

Folks, we're completely out of yard signs until 11am on Friday. Thanks!

Good morning, Minnesota! 💙 As the brutal ICE occupation of our cities enters yet another winter month, we've made another round donations: $5000 to the Minnesota Immigration Law Center And $1000 each to five local rent relief / mutual aid funds:

Really interesting Target lets ICE kidnap employees in their store but told us the parking lot which serves several other businesses is their private property and they wouldn’t allow me and @vangirl427.bsky.social and others in their parking lot.

Sirs, we find your lack of whimsy...disturbing.

We carried in 1000 more anti-ICE signs late last night. Welcome to Minnesota, Tom Homan. We hope you see these signs everywhere you go. #AbolishICE

Dreamhaven's Greg Ketter, folks. A real life comic book hero.

This is excellent.

We'd like to thank you all for your continued support this past week. The more Trump tries to hurt Minnesota, the more our community comes together.

Thank you to the #SaintPaul Winter Carnival for making the difficult decision to cancel today's parade.

Impeach these murderers. Now.

Solidarity with Jamie and the amazing @moonpalacebooks.bsky.social. People of good conscience are changing the media's insane "both sides" narrative one interview at a time. Jake Tapper is a fart. #AbolishICE

If you’re a Saint Paul business impacted by these federal actions and support ICE leaving Minnesota, consider signing this petition: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

The kids always win.

This machine cuts ice out. Anti-ICE signs back in stock when we reopen Saturday morning. ✌️ 💖

They are never, ever going to win in Minnesota.

National media should really be covering the fact thay every major school, museum, and arts institution in the Twin Cities, and hundreds of local businesses are closed tomorrow to protest federal occupation. Nothing like this at this scale has happened anywhere in America anytime in living memory.

We spent four months trying to get Senator Klobuchar to stand up for transgender Minnesotans. Sadly, we were unsuccessful.

Folks, we'd like to express our profound gratitude to our lawyer, @thatbaba.bsky.social. They stepped forward immediately with an offer to help with our ICE audit. We simply couldn't have responded within the 3 day deadline without them. Thank you, Davis! 💖

Heck yeah, @mischieftoy.com !

Yard signs are back in stock in even greater quantities. Thank you to Impact Printing for such a quick turnaround! Shoutout to the Mischief Minivan.

Our community is amazing! We are literally overwhelmed! Please consider sending help to one of Minnesota's many immigrant rights orgs such as www.ilcm.org.

ARE YOU A NON-MINNESOTAN WHO WANTS IDEAS OF STUFF TO DO TO HELP MINNESOTA RESIST FASCIST TYRANNY? Have I got a blog post for you! With additional advice for how to get ready in case tyranny shows up at YOUR doorstep next! naomikritzer.com/2026/01/21/h...

I am overwhelmed & exhausted by the amount of press we've gotten over this but also determined to continue speaking loudly against Trump's reign of cruelty & retribution. #AbolishICE

I spoke to a friend on the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota board. They need financial donations to keep up with the heightened demand for their services: www.ilcm.org ILCM is a nonprofit that provides free immigration legal representation to low-income immigrants and refugees in MN & ND

We will be closed on Friday the 23rd in solidarity with our community. We call on Congress to stop the illegal occupation of Minnesota NOW. #AbolishICE

A wordy update! News of ICE hitting us with a retaliatory audit went kinda viral and we've received a HUGE amount of support. Not only were we extremely busy all weekend, but we also received over $1000 in unsolicited donations.

Friday afternoon, ABC News ran an interview with one of Mischief Toy Store's owners about the store's practice of giving away free whistles. Hours later, ICE agents showed up at their door. Here's my story (gift link):

So to keep people in the loop, one of the biggest school districts in the state is closed Tuesday and Wednesday because they need to give teachers time to build hybrid options for families worried about their children getting kidnapped on the way to school by lawless masked armed federal goons.

ICE agents at a hotel in St. Paul woke up this morning to news that they’re getting kicked out of their hotel today at noon.

FWIW, here's Abby's ABC News interview from yesterday afternoon that probably got us in trouble. 🫠

So, we're almost completely out of yard signs 😳. Went through 250 signs in just 3 hours 🤯. More coming late next week. THANK YOU ALL for your support!

he'll yeah i did besides other fun stuff, I'd been wanting one of these jellycat dragons for a while and it's everything i dreamed thank you @mischieftoy.com !!!

There were more people shopping at @mischieftoy.com today.

Lines snaking through several rooms of the shop today as community members respond to an attempt from the feds at bullying @mischieftoy.com in Saint Paul, MN today. Left a bunch of free window signs from Chicago for anyone in their vestibule.

Thank you to everyone everywhere for your support! Our focus is always local! If you're outside MN, please support your local toy, game, and book stores right now. This is a stressful time for all of us! Or we'd encourage a donation to your local immigrant rights advocacy org. Thank you!

All - I'm seeing a LOT of misinformation in replies to this, and I just want to repeat what I've replied to a lot of others. PLEASE stop saying that you know what the law is if you don't. This is an I-9 audit and requires 72 hour response or a business can face business ending fines.

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.

Thanks for your feedback, Charlene. 🤮

Yard signs are restocked and ready to aid the resistance!

We braced ourselves for a new onslaught of emails and one star reviews from right wing trolls after this aired. But instead we've only received support and offers to help print more whistles. We can win this, folks. #AbolishICE
