I remain awed by, proud of, and scared shitless for my incredible friends in Minnesota, who are fighting on the front line against literal jackbooted thugs. Even if you don't have a personal connection, I'm sure you're also gripped by the news.

Here is how you can help:

How to help if you are outside Minnesota.

This also has advice on how to start preparing for if and when this shit comes to your home state.

If you are in Minnesota.

I am also stealing some graphics that lydamorehouse posted that you can spread around, as long as you credit the artist. Credit where it is known:


By Rin Mix.


By Cas Fern.


Artist unknown but if you find out, let me know and I'll edit it.

Let Minnesota be the graveyard of fascism!

I love the laser loons, so much.

[sabotabby]

It was already great but then they made it better.

[lynnenne]

Thanks for those links. Will donate.

[sabotabby]

The Minnesotans are fucking amazing.

Ooh, those are good. I've been trying to come up with a way to combine "stupid Canadian wolf bird" and "loon with laser eyes destroying ICE" but so far I haven't managed it.

Let Minnesota be the graveyard of fascism!

That's so beautifully weird. I love it.

with another quote I loved

'Another friend put it to me like this: "ICE has made the classic Nazi mistake. They've invaded a winter people in the winter."'

[sabotabby]

I feel like we're 75% there.

[greylock]

I love the fact using buckets of water to make ice on the ground is now domestic terrorism.

[sabotabby]

I know for a fact that the worldview of all of these people was irrevocably shaped by the Home Alone movies and this feels like a fundamental ideological contradiction that we can exploit.

[greylock]

Well, one side certainly loves getting children alone.

I've been sharing Naomi's post with everyone from not here who wants to help. Which is a lot of folks, so it's good to have a go-to resource because I'm fucking exhausted.

[sabotabby]

Same.

Some stunning resistance loons, posted by the artist, link to their shop, profit going to groups on the frontlines:
