Minneapolis, MN -

A vehicle was set aflame earlier today when federal agents threw a chemical irritant which landed inside the vehicle. Protesters doused it in snow and the fire department responded.

Protest against Bass broke out, mostly by people who were in the CSD panel with me.

Good to see public opposition to Bass for her inability to get the LAPD under control (and for other reasons).

I wasn’t part of the protest, but stood with them to ward off a police sheriff heading towards them

THE TRUTH ABOUT INSIDE SAFE flyer: The Mayor's "Inside Safe" Program does NOT "bring people inside and connect them with comprehensive wrap-around services." Many think "Inside Safe" is a housing program - but it's actually an encampment clearance program - you have to hand over a tent the City can destroy to enter the program. The Mayor's "Inside Safe" Program siphons tax dollars to private contractors who pocket the money meant to provide services. Partnering with The Mayor's "Inside Safe" Program will NOT "create positive impact in the community" - nor will it "make a lasting difference" - instead, a revolving door of forced shelter-to-street displacement will be further entrenched, all while private 3rd party contractors bilk taxes for profit thanks to the Mayor.

Back half of the inside safe flyer: WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT"INSIDE SAFE" - "INSIDE STARVING" (THE NAME COMMONLY USED TO REFER TO THE PROGRAM) ROUTINELY RUNS OUT OF FOOD FOR RESIDENTS, TELLING PEOPLE TO EAT DRY CEREAL FOR DINNER - "INSIDE STARVING" SPENDS $7,000 PER MONTH PER RESIDENT - JUST FOR ROOM AND BOARD. 3RD PARTY PRIVATE CONTRACTORS ARE RE-IMBURSED SITO PER PERSON PER DAY IN EXCHANGE FOR PROVIDING A RANGE OF SERVICES - FEW OF WHICH ACTUALLY REACH RESIDENTS AND INCONSISTENTLY AT BEST. - "INSIDE SAFE" HAS BEEN PLAGUED WITH SCANDALS RANGING FROM INHUMANE AND UNSANITARY CONDITIONS TO FINANCIAL IMPROPRIETY (ENFORCED ISOLATION, EJECTING HOSPITALIZED PEOPLE, TO NAME BUT A FEW). THE PROGRAM HAS A MASSIVE BUDGET OF MORE THAN $450 MILLION DOLLARS - THAT'S $93,360 PER PERSON WHO HAS EVER ENTERED THE PROGRAM - EVEN FOR JUST ONE DAY. DESPITE ALL THIS MONEY, INSIDE SAFE CURRENTLY HOUSES JUST 1,144 PEOPLE AND HAS FAILED TO DELIVER PROMISED "COMPREHENSIVE WRAPAROUND SERVICES." - 795 PEOPLE - NEARLY HALF OF PEOPLE "INSIDE SAFE" HAS PLACED INTO "PERMANENT" "HOUSING" - HAVE SINCE BEEN EVICTED, MOSTLY DUE TO TIME-LIMITED SUBSIDIES EXPIRING. AS OF SEPTEMBER 2025, 42% OF EVERYONE WHO ENTERED "INSIDE SAFE" HAS BEEN EVICTED FROM THEIR SHELTER OR HOUSING. 85 PEOPLE HAVE DIED IN THE PROGRAM. WHY SHOULD WE TRUST THE MAYOR TO TELL THE TRUTH WHO: - LIES ABOUT THE EFFICACY OF HER PROGRAM COMMONLY KNOWN AS "INSIDE STARVING" - QUOTES INACCURATE AND INFLATED STATISTICS REGARDING HER PROGRAM COMMONLY KNOWN AS "INSIDE STARVING", STATISTICS WHICH HAVE BEEN DEBUNKED BY THE OFFICE OF THE CITY CONTROLLER - LIES ABOUT THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN LAPD AND ICE? INSTEAD, ASK THE ACTUAL RESIDENTS - LISTEN TO THEIR EXPERIENCE REGARDING THE "EFFICACY" OF "INSIDE STARVING" - THEN ASK YOURSELF IF YOU COULD CALL THE "INSIDE SAFE" PROGRAM YOUR HOME?

We are now in the second kettle of the night, and LAPD are aggro about it
