Minneapolis was economically devastated by Operation Metro Surge, writes James Beard-winning Oglala Lakota chef Sean Sherman, suffering $10-$20 million in weekly losses.

I saw a magazine have a ONE HOUR SUBMISSION WINDOW. I'm sorry that is absurd and disincentivizes people who aren't terminally online.

Every photo from Minneapolis looks like this. Cops decked out with guns and full tac gear facing off against people in bathrobes, parkas, and sweatpants armed only with whistles and cell phones.
Yet every verified MAGA chode on X dutifully calls it a riot or violent insurrection.

I’ve never felt unsafe in this bougie neighborhood a day in my life. This is a 25 mph zone, full of fancy bars and restaurants, a curling club, salons, boutiques, and one of the busiest coffee shops around. They are doing their damndest to wreck everything here.
This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paul—an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.

There's something deeply pathetic & petty about one of the biggest msn papers coming to whine about the percieved unfair treatement in the comments of a small indie outlet that represents the structurally disadvantaged victims of the global hate campaign that the NYT supports.

They crush the local economy, deplete city budgets, illegally withhold congressionally allocated funds. In exchange we get masked Texans running wild in the streets, paid for with tax money that was supposed to be used on our healthcare. Thank you to our federal partners.

This is the second time an ICE employee has been arrested in in a Bloomington, MN underage sex trafficking sting www.cbsnews.com/minnesota/ne...
Police in Bloomington, MN just announced that one of the guys they arrested in an underage sex trafficking sting was a **background checker for ICE agents.**
He had a high security clearance in the Trump administration... and he was caught trying to abuse children. Sickening.

The main thing I've noticed about attempting to participate in protests & demonstrations over the years as an isolated proletarian desperate for class solidarity is that the organizers are always a creepy, highly exclusive clique of occultist-esque "experienced organizers" enforcing esoteric rules.
You're being incredibly cavalier about this Stancil. You should listen to experienced activists and stop broadcasting shit for clout. That is what this looks like, you want clout.
It is also worth remembering that the thing we are doing is figuring out where they are and then following them in our private vehicles. They don’t need to do forensic analysis of a Times article to figure out who we are; they can just turn around

Amber Glenn won Olympic gold on Sunday. That same day, she left social media because of death threats. Her offense: she'd told reporters the queer community is going through "a hard time." The headline called it "backlash." www.readtpa.com/p/the-thresh...

The right used to attack athletes who protested. Now they attack athletes who express feelings at all.
