Hennepin County and State Patrol officers can be seen in images from Whipple on Sat concealing their faces, which is against a MN law that also applies to cops.

In was 26 degrees on Sat. They cannot claim it was “protection from weather.”

The current regime took a week to abolish USAID, which is three times as old and was not in the news every day for brutalizing children
“We cannot just abolish ICE!”

Bestie, you are older than ICE.

Baselessly including "destruction" here is pretty telling, imo. It invokes the uprising in a way that is unhelpful and ignorant of what is happening on the ground.

The only people destroying property are ICE agents who have been breaking windows and crashing cars.
Friends in Minneapolis are very worried about this development. Both in terms of state police's role in arresting protestors and the worry that this could set off the kind of spiral of distrust and destruction that followed George Floyd's murder.

Nothing has changed here.

So you might ask - how will we know when things have changed? For me it’s all the kids back in school.

Hi all, there are a lot of things to be said about the chaos, kidnapping and murder, that is happening in the state I live in right now. I want to highlight some things I have personally seen in the last month or so out on the streets in Minneapolis.

They call it “persistent presence” and it’s a technique of war they have used in other parts of the world, notoriously in Somalia, which gives a new dimension to the cruelty of doing this to cities full of Somali refugees

In some cases they’re literally using the same Black Hawks even
You may ask yourself why helicopters fly over the Twin Cities so much and my best guess is it is to fuck with people.
Ugh. Looked up for a second only to see this guy buzz by my window.

It is a little after 7 a.m. Sunday in Minnesota and maybe you're up early or maybe you've been up all night (ope!) and maybe this font makes you want donuts (now I want donuts).

Remember to eat, hydrate, & take your meds or vitamins or whatever.

Hang in there. 💜

Fuck ICE.
