Worrystone

happening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.

Out on the ice like Minnesotans do

CNN in Minneapolis: We are seeing thousands and thousands of people, we've been standing on the corner here for the past ten minutes. This this crowd has not let up. It's just continuous.

MINNEAPOLIS, TOMORROW!

Benefit show to get some food and funds collected for The Little Kitchen Food Shelf!

'Abolish ICE' is imperative It's also better politics than you might think.

"You can’t bring 'transparency and accountability' to an organization whose agents defiantly wear masks while openly threatening citizens with deadly violence. More training won't help. The problem is the organization itself. Ending ICE is what will make Americans safer." — @playtyperguy.com

In terms of music I've been living under a rock/oppressive occupation this month. I've heard some protest songs about Minnesota on the radio, though.

Over a year ago I got COVID and directed all my creative energy into recording a little synth album. Earlier this year I released it digitally. I am now truly humbled that @fiadh.bsky.social has done a run of absolutely kickass tapes for it. Get 'em while supplies last and stay healthy out there...

Dreamhaven's on Abebooks and eBay too

When in MN you need to hang out at Dreamhaven. Do buy online when his site's up. They're now the oldest scifi bookstore in the country and you're going to run into cool people and authors every time you show up.

But if we take this big swing at us and the ones still here are still standing, every other state can stand up to this too

It takes basic social skills and a pinch of compassion. We actually talk to our neighbors.

We are not the first people, or the first country, to suffer under a tyrannical government that does not respect our lives, or our rights.

There is a method for how to effectively resist, and eventually topple, such a regime. We can learn from others who came before us.

This is my favorite guide.

All of this is fucking senseless. Minnesota did not have an immigration problem. Trump sent his Nazi thugs here because he's racist against Somali people and to own libs like Tim Walz. Now two Minnesotans are dead and Minneapolis is on the verge of going up in flames. None. Of. This. Was. Necessary.

There is video circulating on social media of a group of ICE agents beating a man near 26th and Nicollet in south Minneapolis, then one of the ICE agents shoots the man while he's on the ground numerous times. A witness can be heard yelling that the victim is dead.

*self-loathing militarized mall cops creep Midwestern elementary school parking lots and break into citizens' houses*
Democrats: "Americans have spoken and their grocery prices are too high."

Nevermind news sources say they were in the country legally and following the rules

"first of all, he wasn't arrested, he was separated from his parent and used as bait, mkay?"

Hail!

They've been hanging out at elementary school dropoffs, harassing high schoolers, they took pictures of someone coming out of their houses to see what noise is happening and said "got you m'fkr". Unhinged militarized behavior.

It's like if Steve Brule's only interest was racism

Once in a while I'm allowed a basketball post as a treat. Steph over Ant in 2026, really? Does anyone actually believe that?

My shocked face💀

An entire night? No, too much exuberance. Voo Doo Glow Skulls and the first three Rancid albums.

Why do they call it "dungeon synth" when you *dunge in* the cold synth of out hot eat the food synth?

Unsponsored endorsement for this scratch board. Our dog has big issues with every other type of nail trimming but loves this.

We use this too and it's changed everything.

Two of the three times I went to an office this week I got ICE stare-downs that would have turned into an illegal detention if my skin looked different. Citizens are scared to buy groceries, go to school, work.
