Funny how they didn’t work to raise money for Americans
After raising money for immigrant families, Minneapolis adult store asks community for help
After spending months helping immigrant families weather the economic fallout of federal immigration enforcement operations in the Twin Cities, Smitten Kitten is asking the community for help sustaining itself.
The adult retail store in Minneapolis’ Lyn-Lake neighborhood issued a public plea for community financial support.
The strain comes after months of directing staff and volunteer time, resources and fundraising efforts toward mutual aid work that supported immigrants during Operation Metro Surge.
The store became one of the most visible community aid hubs after the federal operation began. Following the killing of Renee Good, Smitten Kitten began collecting groceries, diapers, toilet paper and other essentials.
“Nothing is going to change unless we’re going to do something,” said Anne Lehman, Smitten Kitten social media manager and mutual aid advisor.
You’re just an adult store, you know that, right? Selling smut?
The store also helped direct efforts toward rent relief for immigrants facing heightened uncertainty and economic hardship.
“People had been hiding out since October. They’re going to need things like diapers, toilet paper and water.” Lehman said. “We ended up opening our store as a donation drop-off stop.”
Illegals over Americans
“We had to move where our stuff was because U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement had caught on to what we were doing and tried to intimidate us,” said Lehman.
In response, the store decided to move its operations elsewhere and began to focus on raising money for necessities. According to Lehman, the establishment raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for various needs.
The operation, in part, ended by mid-February, and federal presence in Minnesota diminished. As things began to wind down, so did cash flow at Smitten Kitten.
So, they over-extended themselves, and now the community doesn’t care.
In a social media post, Lehman asked the community to come help support the store by asking for donations, asking people to shop at their store or online.
“We are asking for help, but also all of these things that we’re pouring all of our energy into is not going away,” said Lehman. “If we want to continue doing mutual aid, we have to have a solid foundation of our business as well.”
Shame. Adult store now having issues. I guess all those Minneapolis folks care more about illegals than helping Americans.
Words cannot truly express how sorry I feel for them!
Considering how much porn is available online, a lot of it for free, I have some difficulty seeing the business model for an “adult” store really being all that good. Perhaps if they branched out into selling VPN equipment, so no one could track their porn usage . . . ?
Actually they sell sex toys for the unsatisfied wives, girlfriends and daughters of MAGA men.
Actually…we know you’re @ss has more of them inside it than all the imgaginary daughters in the world
So Rimjob is your little grandson still your number one sex toy?
Kept sucking my farts, perv.
They don’t call him uncle stinkfinger for nothing you know.
That’s what we’re saying…there’s NO MARKET for their wares! That’s why they’re closing!
If they’re focused on selling sex toys to unsatisfied wives, girlfriends and daughters of MAGA men, that explains why they’re struggling in business.
Perhaps, a better strategy is selling said toys to wives, girlfriends and daughters of beta males? Yep!
@Calvin Yes, we have girlfriends or wives and children which consider to be sacred. Unlike your ilk that consider children as sex toys or objects. We do not commit sex acts in front of children or try to entice them into sex acts. We work and pay our own way. We are not sitting around contemplating sex acts with little kids, deciding which large object to insert in our anus, or how to get a small rodent in our boyfriend’s butt. It is a free country, and I do not care how you love who love as long as it does not involve children or animals. Your sexuality belongs in the bedroom not in a parade in front of kids. Oh and no our ladies do not need toys to be satisfied. They don’t need a butt plug the size of a 4×4 post. It is noteworthy to notice that you attack “MAGA” men not that I identify as such.
But you obviously have an attraction to real men and are bitter because no real man would ever be attracted to you.
Poor ol’ Elwood. Virtually every study ever commissioned shows that consevatives have better sex lives and are more fulfilled than their liberal counterparts.
A good example is,, how many conservative women had to don a vagina costume in order to try and create interest? The answer is none.
Another question worth asking poor ol’Elwood would be, If you cant tell the difference between a man and a woman, how the hell are you going to satisfy eith one of them?
*DERP*
From CNN:
The Washington Post reported that “Conservatives really are better looking, research says“.
The Post and CNN aren’t exactly evil, reich-wing sites!
So, we’re better-looking and better in bed as well.
Not only are we better-looking and better in bed, but we also have more babies! Looks like a conservative trifecta there!
Did you forget your picture is posted?
LOL. Touched a nerve of the pervert-worshipping MAGAt kidz!!
We know you like MAGA sausage. It’s all that’s on your feeble mind.
“Sex shops”, nationwide, are at the end of a very rapid decline. All of their products are available on-line. As Dana pointed out, their business model is simply not sustainable. Add to that the additional cost of hiring extra employees to perform charitable “pro-immigrant” services that do nothing to help the bottom line and the eventual outcome was predictable.
Further, the pro-immigrant community is farther ahead by pushing the sex store out of the immigrant support market since they are competing for the NGO dollars and public donation. They are in effect recasting themselves as a charity instead of a profitable business.
I suspect you will see a Weed store at that location in the near future.
Poetic justice! Put them out of business as fast as we put illegals on the airplanes back to their 3rd world shitholes. Good riddance, losers!
