The arrests of Don Lemon, Georgia Fort, and Jamael Lundy are unacceptable and a clear violation of the Constitution.

This is a dangerous abuse of power that threatens the rights of every single American.

They must be released immediately.

Greg Ketter, founder/owner of DreamHaven Books & Comics, Winner of the Will Eisner Spirit of Retail Award, 1999.

As Greg has said here, the store's site has crashed from the traffic/flood of orders. But a GofundMe is still live to help with the store's renovation.

The Phillips neighborhoods are being targeted because it has the highest percent of residents who are not US Citizens. This fund will help feed, provide basic necessities and allow our immigrant neighbors to stay housed for 65+ families (and counting).

People are right to be incensed, but there are more names to uplift. ICE killed an immigrant man named Silverio Villegas González in Chicagoland. He had children. Victor Manuel Diaz was kidnapped in Minneapolis and died in ICE custody on January 14. Their names deserve to be repeated, too.

One last boost for the evening crowd. This has raised a truly staggering amount of money, thank you all!! Also a couple people have said this is one of their favorite videos of mine, which is very nice to hear.

I have the right to free speech and protest.
I have the right to bear arms.
I have the right to a warrant.
I have the right to a trial.

ICE ignores all of this. They are unconstitutional and need to be abolished. They are out of control. Absolute maniacs facing little to no consequence.

One thing that irks me: people keep calling the folks on the streets in Minneapolis protestors. They are not generally there to protest, they are there to observe and document. This is the product of organizing and mutual aid. It is telling that these acts of citizenship are seen as protest!

Patronize as many of these businesses as you can before and after Friday.
When we started this list of Minnesota businesses taking part in the Jan. 23 economic blackout we didn't realize quite what an undertaking it would be, but we are now at more than 250 and counting.

Keep 'em coming!

For those interested in volunteering at JUFS: I can say from experience that the front desk blocks (ie greeting, answering phones, helping ppl with appointments) are always the last to fill up. If you don't have phone anxiety AND can speak a bit of Spanish, this is a great thing to do right now.
Second Harvest is one of the suppliers for Joyce Uptown Foodshelf (joyceuptownfoodshelf.org), who I volunteer with. Joyce is referring shoppers to a local church making deliveries to those who can't leave their homes. Whoever you donate money or time to in the chain, they're helping South Mpls.
