Welcome to Twin Cities: Amy Goodman, 75 Others Arrested

Some 30,000 people are out on the streets of Saint Paul, protesting  
the Republican National Convention, which has been toned down to what  
is the developing story of Hurricane Gustav (note: ICE apparently  
says that are no immigration checkpoints and encouraged all people,  
regardless of immigration status, to leave New Orleans - although our  
correspondent there, Dolores Bernal, says that at least some  
immigrants refused to leave for fear of deportation).

According to the Coldsnap Legal Collective, at least 75 people have  
been arrested so far. I've received information that several people  
have had their rights violated, and the word here on Radio Row is  
that Democracy Now's Amy Goodman, Sharif Abdel Kouddous and Nicole  
Salazar have been detained. I will be heading back out to the streets  
in about an hour - for now, here are some pictures of today's actions:
