A collection of 9 anti-ICE and related signs including a scarecrow with an “ICE out now” sign and several signs referencing people taken by ICE. A collection of 9 anti-ICE and related signs, including several using loons to play on the Star Wars resistance symbol and one sign which reads “Fix Your Hearts”

I’ve been photographing anti-ICE & related yard/window/tree/street signs around Minneapolis. Signs clearly made by children or referencing neighbors taken are gutting. Lots of clever pop culture and Minnesota references from Andor to Twin Peaks to frog costumes. Batch #17

From the Star Tribune: “The damage to Harper's body was so severe, we were not allowed to see her, hold her, or be with her body ever again," [her mother] said. "And then, months later, as the pews were removed from that church, more of her remains were found. We had to cremate our daughter a second time. Imagine receiving that
phone call. And then tell me, what is this gun for? Hunting?
There are other tools. Home defense? There are other tools.
What is this one for?"

Absolutely gutting story on Annunciation parents pouring their souls into enlightening legislators, knowing they’d the GOP brick wall. But the piece contains one of the most horrifying paragraphs an American parent could read; it will stay with me: www.startribune.com/in-living-ro... (gift)

A white marble table leg in the form of a lion head and descending into a claw as the foot. The view is from above and since there is no table top the inscription of P. Casca Long can be seen engraved into the table top support. View across an atrium of the so-called House of Casca Longus (he never lived here!). To the left a blue painted wall. In the centre-right an impluvium basin with a circular ceramic cistern head nearest to us on one side. On the far side the white marble tripod table support.

One of the most remarkable objects in #Pompeii is a marble table support with P. Casca Longus inscribed on it. Longus was the 1st assassin to stab Julius Caesar on #IdesOfMarch (today in 44 BC). On his death Longus’ possessions were auctioned & this table was bought by a Pompeian

I’ve been photographing anti-ICE & related yard/window/tree/street signs around Minneapolis. Some neighborhoods were full of large (rightfully) angry signs. Others at first glance had nothing, but on closer look almost every house had a sign tucked into a window, or gracing the front door. Batch #16
