Listen up, MSP! Do not answer your door. Do not answer questions without your lawyer present. Save these phone numbers (see image/alt text). And as the lawyers say, shut the fuck up. You have constitutional rights. Use them.

ATTENTION Twin Cities! DO NOT ANSWER YOUR DOOR.

ICE, DHS, and HSI raided two legal observers' homes in South Minneapolis this morning, seizing electronics and arresting both of them.

Save these numbers:
612-444-2654 (Legal Observers' Guild, arrest hotline.)
612-200-0844 (First Defense Hotline: call ASAP if arrested in Hennepin County for a volunteer lawyer visit.)

And if you're able, check in on your people. It's scary today.

Update as of 8:50am: sources are telling me that
FIFTEEN PEOPLE have been arrested now, some in S Mpls but others without location details.

One of my goals this year has been to branch out my storytelling at new events and not just Bird related stories. Tonight I told a story that involved a Glass Dildo and I did not think through the number of people who would come up to me and tell me how much they love me on Almanac.

Welcome Back the Herons is this Saturday at Marshall Terrace Park from 11am - 1 pm. I’ll be there with the NPS and some of my favorite birding buds showing you the birds through our scopes. Swing by before you hit your local #nokings rally at 2 pm

When your out of state friend checks on you and voice to text ignores your heartfelt gratitude and instead focuses on a conversation you are having with your dog when she’s dancing at you.

Image of a bunch of text between two people. One person is trying to offer support from out of state. The other person sends a garbled message about a dog being adorable and being a good girl and needing time on the couch and a treat. The out-of-state person responds that it’s fucking adorable.
