"Haunted"
#IceOut #IceOutComics
A comic in black/white/blue. Lucy rolls her bike through an alley, by a crew building a fence. Narration: My neighbors hired a crew to rebuild their fence. Crew member: "Do you need us to move our stuff out of the way?" Lucy: "Oh! No, you're all good, thanks!" Lucy: "Have a good one!" Crew member: "You, too!" Narration: I was teaching when my phone started lighting up with alerts from the rapid response network and neighbor chat. Lucy's back is to us as she shows a group of enthusiastic children something on a notebook. Behind her, her phone in her bag is buzzing. Narration: By the time the lesson was over, they were already gone. Lucy is reading messages on her phone. Messages: Alert: black SUV Sighting: be on alert for... Confirmed abductionL alley between ----- and ----. SUV plates... We tried to get them inside, but it was too... ...Contacting an I.R. lawyer. Heading to Broadview later today. Lucy is riding her bike home. Narration: On the ride home, I kept thinking "If I'd been there, could I have warned them? Would my ICIRR* training have helped?" *Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights. Get trained and know your rights at ICIRR.org. Narration: I'd taken the training after Halloween, when the violent ICE raids had locked down our schools and driven our neighbors indoors. (Image of a halloween bucket in the shape of a jack-o-lantern) Narration: Halloween is fun here-- The community filling the streets and opening our doors to one another. But this year's was tense, frightened and subdued. Haunted. Lucy is standing in the alley, staring at the newly built fence. Narration: When I got home, it was all done. The other two guys who had gotten inside in time stayed and finished the build. The new fence is superimposed with the brief exchange from earlier in the comic ("Have a good one" You, too") Narration: I see it every day and think about how those guys built this in the spot where strangers in masks took their friend. Narration: How many other places in our communities are similarly haunted? (Drawings of sidewalks, buildings, streets and windows)

Since I’m working on the sequel series to this as a way to stop from doomscrolling, I figured I would repost my original Canaan House Armory pieces from 2023 here. First up are the arms of Marta the Second, rapier & dagger ⚔️ #thelockedtomb #gideontheninth
Illustration of a plain steel parrying dagger and a plain steel rapier on a pale red background. The pommels of both are shaped like a skull wearing a helmet. The rapier has a mesh basket guard in the Pappenheimer style and a red ribbon is tied around the pommel. In the lower left corner, the name of the weapons’ owner is written in block text: “Marta the Second”

If you see this, don't participate. It's a rigged study by Lisa Littman and unethical researcher J. Michael Bailey meant to undermine access to care. Spread the word.
“Screenshot of a promoted Reddit post by u/AYAGDOS. The post reads: ‘Navigating gender dysphoria?

This or just dumping people *in the woods* AND sending folks out w/o their phone or I.D.

Volunteers w/ Safe Haven wait at the gate & do sweeps of the woods, with warm clothes, a burner, and a ride home, "so no one is left alone at the gate."

I spent the evening outside the Whipple federal building in Minneapolis, where the feds have been releasing people they detained — often for no discernible reason — into the freezing cold... wearing whatever little clothing they had on at the time they were taken.

Okay, so. Time to leverage some clout. If you are outside MN and don't know how to help, here's one way. Pick a fund from standwithminnesota.com and I'll match them up to $1000. Post a receipt if you want but I'll probably believe you

If your response to videos out of Minnesota is “why isn’t anybody doing anything,” and by that you mean “why are they not running up and tackling masked people with guns,” you are free to think that but I will block you.

Please read the full thread - it has been really hard to express just how widespread the terror is in the place where I grew up, but also how unified and stubborn my old neighbors have been in the face of it. Recognition like this gives me hope

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

something I've been thinking about is encouraging folks who are scared of phone calls and confrontation to work on getting better at it. I took First Aid training and helped a woman after a bicycle accident. I hated it, I was shaking, it was scary, but it's the right thing to do and we need to do it

Hi folks, I'm seeing a lot of "Eyes on Minneapolis" & "We support Minnesota" sentiment. Here's a tangible way you can help:
