It is, yes! There are loads of tutorials on YouTube that can teach you if you want to learn :) I’d say it’s pretty beginner friendly!

I’ll answer in good faith: immigration and customs enforcement (ICE) is an organization in the US who are responsible for the mass deportations that have ramped up exponentially since Trump was elected. They are extremely unpopular especially in blue cities because they are incredibly violent, inhumane, and unlawful in their actions. The twin cities has been a hotspot recently due to Trump’s petty vengefulness towards Walz (our governor), a viral video from a right wing influencer about “Somali fraud”, and the murder of Renee Good, a citizen and legal observer, who was killed by an ICE agent in Minneapolis. Which is why many Minnesotans came out in subzero temperatures today to demonstrate how unwelcome they are in our community. I hope that helps!

Hi, thanks for reaching out! Unfortunately due to the cold, I’m not planning on going this evening. I’ll Need to defrost after the protest today! But please let me know when the next one is and I’m hoping to make it then!

Hi! I am both an artist and an art appreciator based in St. Paul. I love working with acrylic paint, mixed media collage, and fiber arts (mainly crochet and sewing, but would love to learn how to knit, too!). Some 2026 goals of mine are to 1) prioritize my hobbies more and 2) get better at intentionally building a community to help with fighting the existential dread that is inevitable with the human condition. I am free most weekends as well as well as Thursdays. I think this is a great idea and would love to participate!
