Melt the ICE: The Fight Continues

https://crimethinc.com/BlockWhipple

On March 1, demonstrators converged on the Federal Building outside the Twin Cities, temporarily blockading ICE inside it.

On one side of the building, fifty people established a shield wall. Sheriffs attacked immediately, but they held their ground for almost an hour.

At least 400 people marched on the other side of the federal building to demand that ICE withdraw from Minnesota and return the land that Fort Snelling occupies to the Dakota people. Many Native people participated in the march, including members of the Dakota, Ojibwe, and Chippewa tribes.

Even after the withdrawal of thousands of ICE agents from the Twin Cities, more than 400 remain—an unprecedented number before the surge of federal mercenaries into the city two months ago.

Thankfully, people are not finished fighting ICE.

hi! my partner and i opened an #electrolysis practice in minnesota!
we offer pay-what-you-can sessions, making electrolysis more affordable than at any other permanent hair removal location. we have already been able to treat clients who would otherwise not have been able to afford hair removal.

however, we currently only offer electrolysis. we really want to offer laser hair removal, because the majority of trans women in the area need laser first, but machines and training are expensive. we plan to pursue a business loan next year, but we want to crowdfund as much as we can prior to taking out a loan. for anyone unfamiliar with the process, laser can take care of dark, coarse hairs on lighter skinned people. it is significantly faster and because of that, less painful overall.

feel free to ask any questions! a few donation venues:
