The permanent potholes the city installed on Hennepin Ave are wild. Some of the manhole lids are like a inch or more below the pavement around it.

Great reporting and a knockout final line:
“Not long after, as the sun was going down, an SUV with tinted windows and an out-of-state license plate was seen barreling down a nearby street. It was followed closely by three cars, with drivers laying on their horns and whistling.”

ICE out in S Mpls again today. No reported detentions so far from these.
We're seeing various cars, illegal license plate covers.
Noticing they're not staying in one place very long (<10min) & scatter at whistles/honking.
Seems like response test + avoidant of our known ability to mobilize.

When I say this is what "we're" learning in RR groups, that is specific to Minneapolis.
However, we learned a lot about the merits of decentralized & hyperlocal organizing 5.5 years ago.
Under pressure, it's important to remember what we already know how to do.

Honestly, what we're learning in RR groups is a tendency toward groups becoming too big & insecure to be truly effective.
