I know it feels like the day-to-day intensity of the ICE occupation in Minnesota has calmed down, but there are so many lagging problems that need solving, right as people’s attention goes elsewhere. Financial assistance, like help with rent, and legal help for the detained. These horrors persist.

There are times when I wish I hadn't gone on Trylove. There are times when I feel . . . compelled to do it.

Would be amazing if we could get some non-Minnesotan neighbors plugged in here. Minnesotans have majorly overextended themselves paying their neighbor's rents and we know there is more capacity to chip in from outside the state.

no other game lets you break every bone in your body for money falling down a dam to London Dungeon... every other video game falling short smh

yeah that about covers it

We've got way more need than donors today and eviction notices are starting to arrive. Can you sign a form to pay a rent directly or can you venmo us so our team of volunteers can pay more rents?!🌻

People are still trapped in their homes in my neighborhood here in Jason's ward, unable to go to work (at jobs which may not even exist anymore), sick with worry over how they’ll pay utilities and remain housed.

It's not over. ICE is still here, and the least we can do is afford families more time.

Crowd-sourced data shows a high number of ICE-involved incidents in North — North News By Azhae’la Hanson , Reporter  North Minneapolis has the second-highest number of ICE-involved incidents, according to a crowdsourced data website.  With no official way to track ICE da...

“The Northside isn't getting the same light,” Smith said. “As far as ICE activity, we're also not getting the same level of support, and we're having to do that all on our own, without a network of bigger things supporting us.”

Maria BC, “Marathon” The experimental songwriter maintains the haunting delicacies of acoustic guitar and piano on a more fluid third album, while just as frequently counterweaving billowing distortion.

For FLOOD Magazine, I reviewed the latest from Maria BC, an album lucid and billowing in its sketches of post-industrial life, even in its most abstracted imagery

"As the film’s main trio embarks on an aimless, violent, gleefully profane road trip across America, the sexual element of their exploits is kept strictly straight."

"A growing homoeroticism blooms between Jordan and Xavier, but remains subtextual, unconsummated. It is only when that tension is closest to breaking that the movie’s tone flips entirely, as if Araki is suggesting that no such affection can come to pass in a vehemently 'heterosexual' space without being ruthlessly stamped out."

"In its harrowing climax, The Doom Generation proves itself to be as transgressive and rebellious of a statement as anything else Araki made, no less potent as a Trojan horse for righteous fury at the country that failed its queer public."

"Though largely only available censored or in low fidelity since its original theatrical release, this new restoration of Araki’s cult classic fully renews the garish splendor and unflinching extremes at the film’s core, one that has found resonance with generations of queer misfits over the past 30 years."

Hoping this is the first of many screenings of its kind in this new era for the Heights, and YOU can help by grabbing tickets and making it clear that there's a demand for stuff like this regularly in the Twin Cities

This is a big first for me and a passion project, hope to see some of you there <3

"A trailblazer in New Queer Cinema, Gregg Araki burst into an independent scene already known for subversion and carved out a distinct identity as a boundary-pushing, hyper-stylized voice for queer Gen X outcasts."

"His early films are unflinching glimpses at the realities of '90s gay life—angsty and freewheeling, fierce and hilarious, angry and shocking and melancholic, often turning on a dime when the brutal truths of oppression come crashing in."

"After The Living End and Totally F***ked Up established Araki’s place in underground queer cinema, he released The Doom Generation as “a heterosexual movie,” cheekily positioning it as an inversion of his previous work."

"In actuality, The Doom Generation is yet another layer to Araki’s kaleidoscopic Teenage Apocalypse trilogy, a queer awakening narrative punctuated by obliteration."

Had a lot of fun being asked to provide writing and graphics on one of my favorite New Queer Cinema cult classics, and even more excited to get to play a part in screening it for a local crowd!

At least 148 dead after reported strike on school, Iran says Iran has blamed the US and Israel for the strike; the US is looking into reports of the incident, while the IDF says it is

Utterly horrifying. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

once again reminding everyone to funnel your emotions into organizing and building solidarity in your community and not pointless doomscrolling

ICE surge in western Wisconsin echoes trauma, intimidation of Twin Cities Volunteers have raised money to pay rent, coordinated rides to school for children and donated groceries and household supplies.

Community defense is different here. Scary. Lonely. There's (some) safety in numbers, and they're hard to come by in our red exurban and rural communities.

We're standing up anyway.

So, today's front page print headline seemed quite fitting:
Emotion, defiance as ICE roams western WI

FUCK ICE.

ICE has not left Minneapolis. Our neighbors are still being taken by masked secret police.

Stand With Minnesota Stand With Minnesota is a hub for supporting, learning, and taking action to support Minnesotans impacted by ICE and federal enforcement.

hey many ppl sheltering in place due to ICE in MN are going to be even more in the hole after tomorrow due to rent. ICE leaving was a lie, we kicked their incel chud asses in the street so bad that they're just being more secret about it.

Please donate to these groups to help my neighbors
