Okay, so I was at this table with my friend the bubble letterer, who wrote “Free” in their PROFESSIONAL-grade bubble letters. It made someone big mad. So bubble person and I made some #popupleftistsupplydepot merch. Proceeds to MIRAC MN. Popupsupplies.printful.me

Apparently our electricity bills are going through the roof and this is partly related to data centers that hog huge amounts of electricity to generate information. I, for one, feel hopping mad about this. The companies that are using the data centers should bear the cost.

MAGA accounts are sharing images of a different man in drag claiming it is Alex Pretti in order to defend the murder in Minneapolis.

These sick people just make things up.

Greg Ketter, the owner of DreamHaven Comics in Minneapolis. A legend in the biz, gassed by ICE. 70 years old and a total badass, both in the biz and on the street fighting for our republic. Salute!

The Vice President says this is "near the top of the list" of "crazy stories" he heard in Minneapolis.

Let me tell you, the people of Minnesota have some actual crazy stories to tell from the last 2 months. This situation isn't one of them.

TikTok is under right wing billionaire control now. Plan your exit strategy.
This morning, I recorded a video on TikTok about why DHS’s arguments for the power to enter homes without judicial warrants in immigration cases are bunk.

Nine hours later, TikTok still says my video is “under review,” and can’t be shared.

Well, here’s a link:

You have to read this. Firsthand affidavit from one of the women who was there and recording the video. She talks about how Alex Pretti was directing traffic when she arrived. She watched him be killed in front of her. She's afraid to go home, worried she'll be arrested.

This is courage. Looking a masked, government fascist dead in the eye, face to face, knowing full well that your life is on the line.

If elected officials had 1/10th of Alex Pretti's resolve, we would have far fewer troubles.

I am seeing quite a few nurses calling for a nationwide strike over the killing of Alex Pretti. I think we are seeing one of the largest workforces being radicalized before our very eyes.

You probably don’t even know how deeply this touches us. The one thing we want and need in MN is for the rest of the county to pick up the torch.

The safest thing for any American civilian to do at this point is to assume that every ICE or CBP agent you encounter is a pardoned violent January 6 insurrectionist with demonstrated homicidal urges toward those they disagree with politically and choose your actions accordingly.

DHS is more concerned about content than saving lives—which we knew, but this is another egregious example. Also, we should oblige them:

Watch out for the ICE.
CNN: DHS officials have come to FEMA staff and told them to limit the use of the word ice…they are worried that by posting something like, watch out for the ice, that it's going to become a meme….

The unmistakeable message being sent to other ICE agents is "if you murder someone--even on camera in broad daylight--we will gladly cover it up for you"
Breaking NYT:

The FBI agent who sought to investigate the federal immigration officer who fatally shot Renee Good has resigned from the bureau, according to two people familiar with the matter, after leadership pressured her to discontinue a civil rights inquiry into the officer.

They consistently show up here and every single time, they’re confronted and eventually go away. The PBs tend to be all hat, no cattle, but .. remain aware. Learn to spot them by their sloppy game.
I went to a protest in New York City today and three Proud Boys were circulating among the crowd pretending to be members of the press (or maybe influencers) interviewing individual protestors. But espionage is not their forte; one was wearing a body cam and a "PB" patch.

Stay vigilant, people.
