Hey all - Aji and Wings desperately need sales to make it through the end of the year, so I'm going to thread some of @wingsndnsilver.bsky.social 's posts of their jewelry here. The most reliable way to purchase is to email Aji at ndnsilverbywings (at) gmail (dot) com. All of these are handmade.

EVERYTHING IN THE CLEARANCE CATEGORY IS ON SALE AND NONE OF IT IS GUARANTEED TO RETURN TO STOCK. This is a general final call. For this sale, prices are slashed up to 50% off but will return to regular sale prices after February.
Starting with brush banners, these designs will not be returning.

The people driving their neighbors' kids to school, showing up to take a turn patrolling, spreading info quietly on chats about where agents are lurking, stocking toy stores with free whistles, texting neighbors to check on them. BEING COMMUNITY. Which you can't pay for because we care for free.
The majority of organizing happening in Minnesota isn’t just peaceful, it’s INVISIBLE. Moms showing up who won’t be interviewed on TV, people whose ICE patrols don’t turn into viral video. The grocery runs, the donations, the people filming bc they happen to be there. Please remember this.

404 Media is watching ICE grow from an already horrifying organization into a deportation force that is better funded than most militaries. It's why we made a zine about the surveillance technologies used by ICE.

In our latest: The feds created a drone no fly zone to stop people from recording ICE.

The order appears to attempt to criminalize the use of drones to film Immigration and Customs Enforcement and DHS employees who are detaining people all over the country.

The FAA has altered a no fly zone designation that was originally created for US military bases to apply to DHS units.

And what is happening inside ICE detention centers? 404 Media also learned that the federal government claimed that the day after it was sued for allegedly abusing detainees at an ICE detention center, a “system crash” deleted nearly two weeks of surveillance footage from inside the facility.
ICE Says Critical Evidence In Abuse Case Was Lost In 'System Crash' a Day After It Was Sued
The government also said "we don't have resources" to retain all footage and that plaintiffs could supply "endless hard drives that we could save things to."

404 Media also recently learned Palantir is working on a tool for ICE that populates a map with potential deportation targets based on addresses, and ICE is using it to find locations where lots of people it might detain could be based.

Flawed how? In testimony from a CBP official obtained by 404 Media, they described how Mobile Fortify returned two different (incorrect) names after scanning a woman's face during an immigration raid. ICE has said the app's results are a “definitive” determination of someone's immigration status.

In October, we learned that ICE does not let people decline to be scanned by its facial recognition app, Mobile Fortify.

Photos captured by Mobile Fortify will be stored for 15 years, regardless of immigration or citizenship status, the document says. But it has its flaws (tbc below)

THREAD: 404 Media has been covering ICE and the technology they've been using to surveil and raid "targets", detain people based on a flawed facial recognition app, and lie about violence on the streets.

They have established itself as an agency that cannot be trusted to live in or present reality.

“Outside agitators” is older than Putin; I am begging white people to crack open a history book about Black Americans for once
Putin pioneered this. No opposition is legitimate. Regular, decent, “ordinary” people cannot possibly be against us because only we represent “the real people.”

Tell-tale sign of authoritarianism.

I won't claim to be the sole authority on the Twin Cities, or on how to help the strong, loving people who are fighting for my hometown. But this list might be an okay start:
Anyway, I invite AltNPS and everyone else to share this list of Twin Cities-area organizations, food distribution networks, and mutual aid links.

It's got everything. From legal aid links to a GoFundMe for Circulo Childcare Center in Minneapolis, they could all use some love. Thank you!
