@ward6.minneapolismn.gov I'm sad to see that the council voted to pursue a lawsuit against Sabri's encampment. But I hope that you were one of the four dissenting votes.

After 12 intense hours, Omar Fateh won the Minneapolis DFL’s first contested mayoral endorsement in 16 years!

A powerful, diverse coalition made it clear: Minneapolis is ready for a mayor that works as hard as we do!

Minneapolis making #goodtrouble and then this happens. This guy drove his car into marshals multiple times. Shame. Shame. Shame.

#catsofthewedge The only overlords we will accept are our cat dignitaries.
Easel in someone's garden with a painted portrait of a tuxedo cat in a crown. Cardboard sign below with a picture of the cat and a cartoon speech bubble that reads, "Cats Not Kings." Person on a balcony holds an orange tabby above their head in a reenactment of the lion king. Waving crows below. Orange tabby cat sits in a window sill facing away from the camera next to a sign that reads "free Pawlestine." Couple on a balcony holds up gray tabby cat in a blue leash who is looking at the person holding their treats. Paper sign below is shaped like a giant cat head that reads "Cat Tour Stop." Second paper poster has names and pictures of the household cats, revealing that the above cat is Henry. A second cat, Tess, is not visible.

I'm proud of my neighbors today. And further disgusted by our mayor. We have to get this man out before he lets ICE run us all over.

A peek inside the cybertrucks I posted pretty much this same thing as a reply to a comment, but I wanted to share it with more people because I had such a unique experience. So, I was actually one of the marshals in the cars. I was in car 3, the silver one with no wrap. Had 2 american flags flying off the back. I've been volunteering for the marshals for the past 4 years and I got assigned to cars this year (we use cars to call cross streets, respond to incidents, relieve other walkers as needed) which was super exciting because I didn't want to walk the whole parade anymore lol. We had no idea the cars this year were cybertrucks until we were assigned. First off, fuck musk. Second, let me tell you that it was boos and attacks from start to evacuation. I couldn't believe my eyes. I knew it was gonna be bad, but holy shit. The people in charge were telling us to get out and stop people from crowding the trucks, and we all said "I'm not stepping foot out of this thing, they'll think I'm apart of this and attack me". The drivers were blasting music to "drown out the boos" and they were defending Elon the whole time to me (they knew why they were being attacked, but "What? They don't like Elon finding waste?") Had to flag down a cop to let them exit on gravier, and I hopped out at Annunciation. They went off to metairie to all meet up and go back home. Definitely one of the most memorable mardis gras for me, and I was hiding a smile the whole time. he-One-True-Bean • 5h ago I watched the passenger of the spaceX wrapped truck get blasted in the face with a fist full of beads… and that was early I hope we get some more videos obles95 OP • 4h ago Yeah, I mean the last one didn't even make it off of Napoleon before being escorted off. The later it got, the more aggressive people became. The first one made it to about 3/4 of a mile from the convention center before taking the first road out and the rest just followed suit. It had reached a fever pitch and was just too much for everybody. They are volunteers, came from out of state to be apart of it. Theyre all in the same cybertruck club and I think one of them knew someone in charge of organizing, so they said they could do it. that1guyfrom1thing • 9h ago The orange one left the route after his window broke after being relentlessly pelted with beads Upvote 565 Downvote Reply reply Award Share Share u/ghost1667 avatar ghost1667 • 9h ago Profile Badge for the Achievement Top 1% Commenter Top 1% Commenter aren't these supposed to be bulletproof? lol Upvote 295 Downvote Reply reply Award Share Share u/that1guyfrom1thing avatar that1guyfrom1thing • 9h ago It surprised us too!

So ICE has been patrolling downtown Minneapolis for about a week? Am I the last person to hear about it? Make sure you have your ID, don't talk to them, and look out for your neighbors.

With the growing numbers of TB, bird flu, and measles, censoring the CDC sounds like a death sentence for our country's stability.

This is what the government did with 120K+ Japanese Americans in 1942.

I know. I was there in those camps.

There's not enough bearded dragon content on here yet, so here's my daughter being a weirdo. She held her foot like that for a half hour.
