In solidarity with today's ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA blackout, MinnMax is donating $1 to the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota for every share of this Bluesky post for the next hour.

my blind cat hates my printer and regularly sneak attacks while it is asleep. I'll soon have to replace all the wires.

The Minnesota Attorney General’s Office wants to help assess and address the impacts of federal actions on Minnesotans.  This form is for reporting incidents or effects related to or caused by recent federal actions in Minnesota, including but not limited to: violations of constitutional rights (racial profiling, excessive force, retaliation against protestors, observers, and media), business closures, reduced healthcare access, reduced education access, other issues impacting public safety and civil liberties, federal funding cuts, federal grant terminations, terms and conditions tied to federal program participation, other administrative actions by Federal agencies. The information you provide may be used by the AGO to support its current lawsuit challenging the DHS surge, as well as future actions to enforce the law. The Minnesota Attorney General's Office intends to investigate matters reported to it for the purpose of defending and enforcing Minnesota’s laws and defending the State of Minnesota against actions that violate the State’s rights under the Constitution and applicable federal law. The Minnesota Attorney’s General office cannot represent or provide legal advice to private citizens.

MINNESOTANS: The Attorney General has released a form for reporting incidents from Federal actions (aka 🧊).

If you've seen or experienced incidents caused by Federal actions, I urge you to submit them to this form so the State can build a case.

Fill out the form: ag.state.mn.us/federal-acti...

Starting tomorrow, the Trump administration is set to send notices to 1,000 student loan borrowers (first round) noticing them of an intent to garnish their wages for student loan debt.

This is cruel and unnecessary.

If you receive a notice, send it to us and we'll try to help.

Just woke up even angrier. Impeach, convict, remove. Draft articles now. Either we have a representative government or we don’t. Do not shut up about this until there’s a vote.

It's been a hell of a year for my reading: read through the rest/most of Morrison's and O. Butler's books. Read Le Guin's Earthsea and Hainnish books. Read most of the Hellboy U. Read the primary Snow Queen cycle books. A hard year to top

Every post I see here that says something like, "oh boy, they did it again," without further context sends me straight to click bait corporate media to see if we've invaded Venezuela or some shit
