Target says they can’t keep ICE out of their stores because they’re open to the public.

After we were *kicked out of Target yesterday*, this NYPD officer helpfully explained to me that Target can keep out:
⁃ shoplifters
⁃ protesters

⁃ ICE
⁃ anybody, actually

Donate to Fueling The Resistance, organized by Fuel Resistance Minnesota is resilient but our tanks are running low. This fundraiser is to help those who work… Fuel Resistance needs your support for Fueling The Resistance

Are you outside of Minnesota and looking for another way to help defeat ICE there?

I personally know and vouch for an organizer of this fund for basic patrol expenses.

Outside the first of two Targets we occupied today, because Target is complicit with ICE.

A video of ICE agents conducting door-to-door searches today in Minneapolis

They also point a taser at her to try and disrupt filming

‘I’m a physician,’ he said. ‘Don’t care’ was the reply. Bystander medical assistance was declined during the restraint-related death of George Floyd, and now after the shooting of Renee Good.

“Can I check a pulse?” yelled the bystander, standing across Portland Avenue from Renee Good’s lifeless body inside her crashed SUV, video footage of the exchange shows.

“No,” an agent replies. “Back up.”

“I’m a physician!”

“I don’t care.”

Something upsetting I learned in my travels: an HIV-prevention worker whose org in South Africa went from 86 ppl to 4(!) told me that if I went on Grindr (& he suggested I do not, as it's dangerous), I'd find many of his "former colleagues offering services"—bc sex work is their only option

I love mismatched outfits. I think adults should follow the lead of the kids. Why does everything have to match? I would definitely wear more mismatched outfits if it wasn't such a huge taboo in our society.

“Our president has long shared his love for “good genes,” and his nephew last year alleged that Trump said disabled people “should just die” and save the rest of us the money and effort. And he has a Health and Human Services secretary to match in Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.”
