It is ESSENTIAL we don't abandon Jewish people, same way it's essential we don't abandon trans people, or disabled people. If your first reaction to this is "well, ..." then you really really gotta sit with that.

A request for help. I have a surgery Friday, and my already not enough financial situation is going to be even more dire. See images for full details and fill transparency, and see the cover for my upcoming poetry collection! 1/2 Kofi: ko-fi.com/kpjunberry

The Issue

Complete, total honesty. I am in a very bad financial position, monetarily and with my credit score, for those who are also in the US and deal with that as well. For the last year a quarter or so, I have been attempting to find a second job (or a full time replacement job for the one I currently have). There have been only a handful of interviews, none of which led to anywhere. I will absolutely take some of the weight for this, I am far too old and far too tired to be aggravating my chronic physical issues with constant standing (literally painful) and risking re-injuring my back (I’ve already pushed it to the point in the past where I could not stand, I refuse to go back to that), etc. Along with my ADHD which has its whole host of comorbidities, I will admit to being choose-y (and even then, I have broken those lines a few times to attempt at least an interview, and nothing).

Part of the weight goes on Denver. This job market here is horrendous, and there is no indication of it getting any better. When I moved to Denver 4.5 years ago, I did not expect to spend so long in the pits of recovering from severe burnout and adjusting to no longer living in survival mode; and I definitely did NOT expect to lose the job that allowed me to move in the first place. To say that my plans for after moving have completely, utterly, and entirely failed is an understatement.

The Request

With the surgery I am getting on the 27th, I will be out of work for two weeks, which leaves me a paycheck short for April. On top of the basic monthly bills, Gusu really should have an ultrasound and a more in depth blood test (I think it was a blood test) to determine what is causing his calcium levels to be elevated. They are not at a “dangerous” level, but the vet and myself agree it is better to find the problem NOW instead of later. I have actually already delayed these from the last vet appointment six months ago.

So I need help. In the long run, this procedure will be beneficial for a LOT of reasons, physical and mental.

I am slowly getting the sparsest of writer websites set up, a handful are already subscribed. But that is a long term solution, and it is going very slow, and I need the help now.

Linked is my Kofi. Of course there is absolutely no pressure, but if you have anything to spare, it is very much needed over here.

Full Transparency

A few of you are aware that I have a trip planned for later this year. A friend is upfronting the money for me as well as her to go to LA to see BTS in September. The agreement is I pay her my allotment before then.

Is this irresponsible?

Probably.

But it is honestly something much needed. I need something to look forward to, to experience, to have a chance of feeling actually alive instead of the day to day.

And I desperately need the opportunity to get out of Colorado, even if only briefly.

Why am I even mentioning this?

Because it already feels atrocious to even have to be asking for help like this, it feels truly untenable to ask and not mention this. I would hate for anyone to help now, and then see talk of that trip and feel deceived.

Cover of my upcoming poetry collection "Screaming Lessons". Back and Front Cover laid out flat. Background is a bulletin board. The front cover on the right has paper with the self made pull tabs, the intersectional queer pride flag, multiple crumpled sticky notes, some push pins, and some enamel pins of self made stickers and charms. A trans flag sits on the very right, and a pencil on a chain hangs from the top.

On the back cover to the left, a paper is centered, whole, no tear off pieces. The post its and pins continue to this side.

On the back reads: A collection of poems about the loss of voice, the desire to yell and scream, and the continued struggle to regain the space anyone should never be denied.

KP Junberry is a queer writer who spends time finding stories from across the globe. In brief moments he isn't, he studies various languages, learns piano, lifts weights, and has been known to hike to see dinosaur tracks in the wild.

Even the worst person alive should not be gunned down in the street by the state. Still, it is very striking how the people killed by DHS agents in the Twin Cities have been the sorts of Americans we routinely celebrate as "our best." Were I writing a book, I'd call the intended moral over-obvious.

You have to read this. Firsthand affidavit from one of the women who was there and recording the video. She talks about how Alex Pretti was directing traffic when she arrived. She watched him be killed in front of her. She's afraid to go home, worried she'll be arrested.

1. I am a resident of the Whittier neighborhood of Minneapolis, Minnesota. I am over 18 years of age. I am a children's entertainer who specializes in face painting.
2. On Saturday, January 24, 2026, at about 8:50 am, I was getting ready to go to work when I heard whistles outside. I knew the whistles meant that ICE agents were in the area, so I decided to check it out on my way to work. I've been involved in observing in my community because it is so important to document what ICE is doing to my neighbors. Connecting to your local community and knowing who your neighbors are is something I profoundly value.
3. I drove to Nicollet Ave. and 26th where I could hear the whistles coming from. I turned south onto Nicollet. There were already several ICE agents there and they'd set up a sort of vehicle convoy on Nicollet and 28th. There were also about 15 observers there, recording and observing ICE.
4. I saw ICE agents surrounding cars and punching car windows. I also saw them stopping vehicles further down Nicollet, so I backed up because I didn't feel safe continuing on.
5. I noticed a man sort of acting to help traffic move more smoothly. He helped me find a place to park. I got out with my whistle and my camera. I went over to him and said something like, "I'm going to film and use my whistle."
6. It seemed like most ICE activity was happening a little farther down the street from us, near 27th. Someone was being thrown to the ground.

7. I started recording. There was an agent by a car across the street. Two observers were a few feet away from the agent, blowing their whistles. One was wearing a backpack.
8. I and the man who was observing and helping direct traffic were standing in the street. There was a phone in the man's hand recording a video.
9. An agent approached and asked us to back up, so I moved slowly back onto the sidewalk.
10. The man stayed in the street, filming as the other observers I mentioned earlier were being forced backward by another ICE agent threatening them with pepper spray. The man went closer to support them as they got threatened, just with his camera out. I didn't see him reach for or hold a gun.
11. Then the ICE agent shoved one of the other observers to the ground. Then he started pepper spraying all three of them directly in the face and all over. The man with the phone put his hands above his head and the agent sprayed him again and pushed him.
12. Then the man tried to help up the woman the ICE agent had shoved to the ground. The ICE agents just kept spraying. More agents came over and grabbed the man who was still trying to help the woman get up. All three of the observers looked to have been badly affected by the pepper spray. I could feel the pepper spray in my eyes.

13. The agents pulled the man on the ground. I didn't see him touch any of them-he wasn't even turned toward them. It didn't look like he was trying to resist, just trying to help the woman up. I didn't see him with a gun. They threw him to the ground. Four or five agents had him on the ground and they just started shooting him. They shot him so many times.
14.1 don't know why they shot him. He was only helping. I was five feet from him and they just shot him.
15. The video I recorded of what happened accurately depicts the events leading up to the agents shooting him and several minutes afterwards. The video is attached as Exhibit 1.
16. I have read the statement from DHS about what happened and it is wrong. The man did not approach the agents with a gun. He approached them with a camera. He was just trying to help a woman get up and they took him to the ground.
17. I feel afraid. Only hours have passed since they shot a man right in front me and I don't feel like I can go home because I heard agents were looking for me. I don't know what the agents will do when they find me. I do know that they're not telling the truth about what happened. I've heard that other witnesses might have been arrested and taken to the Whipple Building.
18. I am disgusted and gutted at how they are treating my neighbors and my state. I keep alternating between crying and feeling determined it is important to remember the value of documenting injustice. We show up for the people who need us to bear

witness, because it can't just be one group of people bearing the brunt of their tyranny. This is a struggle to protect our freedom and democracy, those things are on the line. He lost his life for those values.
I declare under penalty of perjury that everything I have stated in this document is true and correct.

Dated and signed on Jan 24, 2026 in Hennepin County, State of Minnesota.
