Getty photographer was tackled by about 50 agents while covering Whipple.

He threw his camera at another photographer to prevent it from being confiscated.

support CANMN! please!!!

we plugged into them as drivers in early december and everyone we've delivered to has been so grateful. their needs have increased exponentially and will continue to.

everyone deserves food.
If you’re outside MN, you’re probably seeing a tenth of what’s happening here under ICE. I’m joining with other book-ish folks this week to donate to Community Aid Network Minnesota (CANMN). They distribute food/diapers to families who need them. Please join us in supporting our neighbors.

Local guy tremendously impressed that the Smitten Kitten is doing all of this amazing mutual aid work but also now skeptical about earlier claims that they don’t have the capacity to run a gloryhole.

Mischief - a TOY STORE - is a goddamned treasure, and this is fucked beyond belief.
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.

the other night there was a post from lawyers talking about why resigning was better than staying and what happens with cases the prosecutors were working on.

but of course i can't find it and i don't know who the author was. does anyone know what i'm talking about?

ICE/CBP is following school busses now.

My husband (a school bus driver) was just in an urgent all-hands meeting about it this afternoon.

A lot of parents are stressed with schools closed Tuesday Wednesday but I look forward to a brief reprieve from my elementary school guard duty against federal agents that I pay.

Angie Craig is now arguing for the brilliant reform of ... making ICE wear body cameras.

Angie, Jonathan Ross filmed himself killing a woman on his own phone and released it to the press.

I work with so many people who are like “oh yeah I hate this but my husband and I differ politically” and I’m sorry? I could never be or stay married to someone who supports…any of this. I’m very judgmental about this.

if you don’t live in minneapolis and you’re just watching from afar you need to get familiar with ring theory and stop venting your anger at us, it’s inappropriate and not helpful to have people who do not live here replying to us with negative emotions. stop putting that on us
