An action you can take against Dear Leader's disturbing rant about banning mail-in voting and "nationalizing elections" is to call your state's Attorney General and tell them hard no to collaborating with federal criminals, as per Article I, Section 4, Clause 1 of the Constitution.

Need a manuscript critique? This literary auction is raising money to support Minnesotans. In further news of book people showing up for each other, and for the rest of us, a dedicated group of publishing and culture workers has organized an auctionΒ to raise funds in support of communiti…

If you want to support communities terrorized by ICE and DHS while getting query feedback or manuscript critiques, this is the auction for you.

I know, I know this is COMPLETELY beside the point, I know, but... why does she look like she has braces when she doesn't?

We had eradicated this disease.

And now because of targeted disinformation, children, immunocompromised people, elderly folks, and so many others become victims in this proxy war and we have a new avoidable pandemic.

The people of Minnesota have executed one of the most impressive civil resistance campaigns I can remember:

- Organized a city wide general strike
- Maintained nonviolent discipline amidst violence
- Mobilized 10,000s in subzero temps to protest and watch ICE
- Flipped public opinion against ICE

Really hard to look at this and all the other examples of bravery and kindness from ordinary people in this moment not think also of the tremendous cowardice exhibited over the past year by some of the richest, most well-protected people in business, media and politics

ICE killing #AlexPretti should remind you of police killing #PhilandoCastille. Both men had concealed weapon permits, did not draw their guns, & were killed in Minn. These homicides are the price of unaccountable policing. These deaths are variations on the same fatal theme.

"I am Puerto Rican," she says. "I send my kids with their passports to school. I'm having conversations with them about safety: Am I safe at school? A week ago we had an incident where there was a school bus with the STOP sign open and kids were getting on the bus and it was surrounded by ICE agents. And this is 7:20 in the morning and - just - you get that fight-or-flight response." At first her 9-year-old was carrying her passport in her backpack; now it's in her back pocket. "I have to prepare them for it if they get stopped," she says. "I said, Do not engage. This is not the time to be cussing at anyone. But she said, Mom, if I create enough noise, my friends can get away."

Demonstrators as far as the eye can see. Current status of the march in Downtown Minneapolis, Minnesota for Ice Out of Minnesota. They are turning onto 3rd Street from 5th Avenue.
