Plus, how surprising that the guy who tried to overthrow the government when he lost would take this step.

Writing/Editing/Reading Update, January Edition Greetings from occupied Minnesota. It’s been a helluva month here with the mad king Trump’s lawless thugs murdering citizens in the street. Very little of what ICE does is legal: no pro…

Times are what they are, but I still have to work and try to write. So here's the blog.

Protest sign from MN that says, “DEARLY BELOVED. WE ARE GATHERED HERE TODAY TODISMANTLE THIS THING CALLED ICE.” with a picture of Prince in the left hand lower corner.

10/10 ICE protest sign

Hundreds of people spelled out the distress signal "SOS" on Bde Maka Ska in Minneapolis on Friday, Jan. 30.

The arrests of journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort are a test for every MSM member with a platform. If you are not voicing your outrage at this blatant violation of the First Amendment, you are utterly discredited as a journalist.

If you don’t think we’re living in a police state, it’s only because it hasn’t happened to you… yet.

Work provides a welcome distraction here in occupied Minnesota, and one project in my geeky hands right now is One-Fifth Dragon by Shami Stovall, all full of ninjas and magic and a great read.

Holy shite, @janeespenson.bsky.social, Fallout is so damn good. #OkeyDokey

This Minnesotan thanks all of you for your support.

Just read another of Ingrid Jaqcues's shit takes as she lays the blame on murdered Minnesotans instead of the men pulling the triggers who are "just doing their jobs." Fuck that. If they were "just doing their jobs" they'd have probable cause and warrants instead of being vicious, lawless thugs.

Patton, you would love DreamHaven so much. Here’s a pic of me in the store feeling overwhelmed by all the geeky goodness.

This Minnesotan thanks you!

Legitimate law enforcement isn’t masked.
Legitimate law enforcement has ID.
Legitimate law enforcement has probable cause.
Legitimate law enforcement has warrants.
Legitimate law enforcement has standard uniforms.
Legitimate law enforcement attempts de-escalation.
ICE demonstrates none of these.

She happens to be out of town this weekend, for which I’m relieved.

This morning’s ICE killing less than six blocks from my daughter’s apartment. You know who never made me worry about her safety? Immigrants. But I worry about her during the fascist occupation by lawless thugs sent here in revenge by mad king Trump.

Ben Damberg protest volunteer: “None of us want to be doing this — I don’t, but we simply cannot stand by as other Minnesotans are being hurt — we will march, we will protest, & we will do it all peacefully above all else”

Minnesota is the best of us.

Drop a hero. How about heroes?

"We used to have a saying in the Resistance: If you're not fighting them, you're helping them."—Major Kira, Deep Space Nine, "Rocks and Shoals," written by Ronald D. Moore. #AbolishICE

The Faces—and Middle Fingers—of the ICE Resistance in Minneapolis War photographer Ron Haviv spent several days documenting the protests across the city.

My fellow Minnesotans taking care of business with the ICE fascists!

Those Nine Democrats Were Wrong to Vote the Clintons in Contempt A reluctance to relive the 1990s overwhelms justice, common sense, and good faith.

Any vote with the GOP is collaboration. The doddering dictator must be resisted on all fronts.

If Anyone Can Pull Off a General Strike, It’s Minnesotans The massive outpouring of support for Friday’s day of action against ICE builds on long-term organizing that residents of the North Star State have tended to for a long time.

You fuckin' betcha! Abolish and prosecute ICE!

Leaders of the We Will Shoot You in the Face Party continue to express outrage at protests by people who don’t want to be shot in the face. “They must be paid agitators! Why else would they protest against being shot in the face?”

I just ordered this shirt. Fuck ICE.

There are a lot of people to blame for where we are, but I don’t think we talk enough about Judge Cannon. She couldn’t have done any better for Trump even if she’d literally been on his payroll.

I continue to be in awe of my fellow Minnesotans down in the fascist occupied Twin Cities. Abolish and prosecute ICE.

List of Minnesota businesses closing for Jan. 23 anti-ICE strike First announced by faith leaders and unions on Jan. 13, Minnesota businesses have begun announcing plans to join the action.

This list is huge! An amazing show of solidarity and a big FUCK YOU to ICE.

Let’s see, what was I coming on here for? Oh, yeah, FUCK VANCE.
