one of my favorite bits of gay Minneapolis history - to set the scene, around about 1979-1980, the Mpls Police Dept. frequently raided gay bath houses. In July 1979, there was a charity softball game between the cops and the gays, and the gays won!

From the 7/30/1979 Minneapolis Tribune

The person photographed here who is in their bathrobe filming armed, masked federal agents in St. Paul is MPR News journalist @samstroozas.bsky.social @mprnews.org . She is an incredible journalist and person. We do not deserve her.

screw this extremely "Geography professor Kate Derickson said she found it incredibly troubling no University speakers acknowledged how and by whom Pretti was killed. She added not acknowledging the reason for the event is not neutrality, but capitulation."

Parents at Justice Page are trying to raise 100k to cover the needs of 50+ families — can we raise 10k of it?
