I made this stained glass window 32 years ago, thought that I had lost it around 20 years ago, and it just turned up in a buddy's attic in Kansas City last weekend.
This moment in time will leave unfathomably deep scars for Twin Cities children.
My son's 5th grade class can no longer play on their playground during recess, because the school knows that a large number of those kids could get snatched at any time. Fully "legal" children.

They see school patrols walking to keep their friends from being kidnapped. They see teachers linking arms to guard the doors. They see a federal government who is basically telling them to drop dead. The kids of Minneapolis and St Paul are traumatized.
The kids are suffering. There's no way to shield them from what's happening here. Everyone is affected. They hear about families in hiding. They read "ICE kidnapped someone here" and "Fuck ICE" when we're in the car. They see us shopping for others. They hear the whistles. They are afraid.

I was thinking about yesterday how after all this is done how much different folks will look at what small business have been doing in response to the occupation vs big business and corporate and what that means for how folks spend their dollars in the future.

Epstein’s economic power among academics was made possible by a capitalist system that makes higher education dependent on the charity economy rather than a public good supported by taxing the rich

I'm a little annoyed that the Jan 30th strike seems to use the exact same language/framing as last week's and does not appear to have any of the same organization. From what I can tell labor was not involved at all. Kind of shitty that all these businesses have to say explicitly: we're not closing

Another level of the terror the Feds are doing is they’re driving wildly on our streets.
They literally don’t care if they kill/maim people and since the cars aren’t theirs they are just using them as weapons.
Tim Walz please continue to ask nicely for them to leave it’s going great.

The federal presence in Minnesota has been especially tough on our local businesses.
Choosing to shop local, grab takeout, or visit a neighborhood store is one way we can stand with our neighbors and continue to show the nation what it means to respond with care and decency.

There was, in MN, a palpable, constant sense of fear that could even feel like paranoia from people engaged in civil resistance. Here’s why:

I'll repeat my ask to Democratic Senators here: don't vote for the DHS funding bill, yes. AND ALSO do not vote for another single thing in the United States Senate until the invasion and occupation of Minnesota ends. Don't vote to name a post office, dedicate a road, or even a procedural motion

ICE agents are America's failures, basically indistinguishable from lazy school shooters, losers who want to play Call of Duty on our streets against people who can't fight back. They have unlimited ammo and toss tear gas like they're pressing L1. They have to be defunded and jailed. All of them.

A small note: terrible things are happening in Minneapolis. But also in Saint Paul. And in the suburbs. And though most of the push is in the metro, things are happening all over the state.
I've been trying to refer to the events as happening in the Twin Cities or in Minnesota.
