I make a fake-history (OR IS IT?) webcomic called The Kraken Busters, about the US' struggle with sea monsters after World War 2. It's drawn to look sort of like Bill Mauldin illustrating a Ken Burns show. It rules, I promise you.

This is Minneapolis.
Literally every corner along Lake St. packed with people holding candles, many singing, honoring a person who by all accounts was an absolute gem of a human, whose life was tragically stolen by a fascist, paramilitary occupation force.

anyway as a weird Minneapolis-through-the-ages thing today’s murder site is about 500 feet from the studio where Tim and Warehouse were recorded; that, previously is what I always thought of at that intersection

Given how much this seems to be genuinely breaking containment outside the Cities, something i’m keeping an eye out for is: What happens when the hundreds of visiting clergy who’ve been in town this weekend get back to their congregations in the next few days?

another new thing I’ve never seen before: took Aug out for a few blocks to go to the bathroom before bed, a lot of houses have candles burning out on their front walls or steps, often with a Minnesota flag

This exceptional photo from David Guttenfelder drives home the point that these are not law enforcement officers; they are an untrained street gang doing the bidding of their fascist leaders.

Hard to say how many showed up for Alex Pretti’s vigil, but easily hundreds if not thousands. After community activists and leaders spoke at the park where they gathered, everyone marched to the site of Pretti’s killing. Streets just filled with people demanding ICE out.

remember the post 9/11 thing of pickups driving around with giant American flags on poles? Twice now I’ve seen that, but with the new Minnesota flag

Was my experience today, too. Not just street corners; bridges and overpasses full of people with signs and flags.
Driving through Minneapolis right now, there are people on so many corners with signs and candles. Lots of neighbors gathering with candles on street corners, despite it being so cold.

I remain absolutely furious that all this shit in Minneapolis started because a barely-literate homeschooled mormon made a video trying to run up in daycare centers trying to find people of Somalian descent doing fraud despite the ringleader (a white woman) being in jail since March. Demonic.

What's making me really livid right now is thinking back to the years of commentary lecturing us that the rise of MAGA was rooted in a sense of righteous victimization by overbearing liberal elites, and sneering at those who insisted that it was fundamentally about domination and sadism all along.
They are telling us in unequivocal terms that if you show solidarity with immigrants who are in the literal crosshairs of Trump/MAGA, you're risking a death sentence.

People already working hard to prove how perfect Alex Pretti was. To show he didn't "deserve" to be killed. But it's a trap folks. You're only feeding into a dynamic where people who are considered lesser get no protection. You don't have to be an Alex Pretti to deserve to live.

None of this even starts to get better until our news media starts acknowledging, in print and on TV, the simple objective fact, with video evidence to prove it, that the secretary of Homeland security flat out lied about what happened. There isn’t a “dispute” or “controversy.” She just lied.
