3 journalists were either gassed, pepper sprayed, or hit with pepper balls today. One of them (a Minnesota Public Radio journalist) had to be hospitalized.
Also, St. Paul police managed to brutalize two state representatives during all this.

I want to point out a new resource page on Monarca website.
Small (or large!) businesses can post signs saying ICE/CBP must have a warrant to enter premises.
Also Know Your Rights signs for targeted people.
PDFs of signs and KYR cards. Plaster these puppies everywhere.

Reminder of all the side effects of tear gas & it's just being deployed in residential neighborhoods for a gaggle or three of people who don't want their neighbors kidnapped.

Attaching potentially incriminating pictures to posts that came from a group that trains legal observers undermines the integrity of that work. I’ll be more careful in future, and hope others will as well.
The overall goal is to get as few people detained as possible, worth a reminder for us all.

I made the mistake of reposting information about an ICE raid that originally came from a group that organizes legal observer trainings. Those trainings explicitly say not to share images or video on social media and to avoid filming anyone but police.

Gorgeous colorizations of trans history images,
and a lot of incredible stories, including many lesser-known to many (A Zapatista colonel, a "transvestite pass" issued in 1928, the Scottish nobleman who the courts ruled should inherit his baronetcy in the 60s... for example...)

really so delightfully surprising to see them back
There’s a surprise 5 song EP called ‘Unhide’ by the fantastic Minneapolis duo Lookbook that was quietly dropped on Bandcamp in late Oct & on streaming services Friday.
It was recorded by Holly Hansen (Zoo Animal) over the last 3 years & mixed by Nat Harvie.
