If you are thinking about joining the ongoing protest at the Whipple Building, please read this guide thoroughly. A lot has changed since we all peacefully gathered there to tell Crusty Gnome to go home. Know your risk, and above all, NO KIDS OR PETS.

Journalists often go on hand-fed ride-alongs with agents.
Seldom, though, do they get into the cars of everyday people protecting their communities from those same agents.

Heads up: We have it on very good authority that for the next THREE weeks, MSP will be extremely ICE-y. They will be verifying documents of both employees and customers for departures and arrivals from both terminals.
ICE will be present inside jet bridges as well.

ICE just indiscriminately stopped a citizen at a bus stop in front of the co-op. If this is how they treat the President of the Minneapolis City Council who is legally observing, just think of what they’re doing to everyone else in our City.

In Illinois, ICE agents have been documented swapping license plates to hide their identity. Under Illinois law, this constitutes a Class A misdemeanor.
The state has made clear that this law will be enforced. Federal agents are not exempt from Illinois vehicle and registration statutes.

Hennepin County dispatch got a panicked call from a Department of Homeland Security supervisor in Minneapolis requesting assistance because “we only have a few officers but we have 60-70 agitators fighting them.” Hennepin deputies didn’t witness any attacks on agents.

🔋 Battery storage costs just dropped to about $65 per MWh. It's so low enough that pairing #solar panels with big #batteries becomes a real way to store daytime sun for use at night ⚡. It could make clean, reliable power more affordable and help solar be useful even when the sun isn’t shining 🌙
Battery storage hits $65/MWh – a tipping point for solar
Battery storage costs have fallen to $65/MWh, making solar plus storage economically viable for reliable, dispatchable clean power.

The hero of Bondi: Ahmed el Ahmed, a 43 year old fruit shop owner from Sutherland. He grabbed the gun off one of the terrorists shooting at Jews during a Hanukkah celebration.
Ahmed was then shot in the leg and shoulder by another terrorist. He’s being treated in the hospital and expected to be OK.
