We were literally watching our community provide a ceremony at the Whipple building.

Hennepin County Sheriff’s then began to escalate tensions. This was disrespectful to our community, our culture, and our ancestors.

This created fear and was an attack on our right to peacefully assemble.

about 30 people were arrested at whipple this morning for unlawful assembly, and many first hand reports say hennepin county sheriff's office were escalating. people were arrested when they were retreating, and people were knocked down by law enforcement

Statement on unlawful assembly, arrests at Whipple Building: This morning, our deputies issued dispersal orders at an unlawful assembly outside the Whipple Building after individuals blocked roadways, blocked access to local businesses, dumped glass into the street, and threw rocks, ice chunks and water bottles at law enforcement creating a serious public safety hazard. Arrests are being made. Freedom of speech and peaceful assembly is a right. Endangering the public is not. Unlawful activity including blocking roads, intentionally creating hazards and assaultive behavior will not be tolerated.

From what I saw today firsthand it was the sheriffs today constantly escalating at people protesting peacefully. The sheriffs were masked up like ICE while working hard to agitate and provoke the residents they were sworn to protect, all so they could provide security for ICE who murders people.

Hennepin County Sherrifs are helping attack ICE protesters at the Whipple right now - #FUCKICE #ICEOUT

dawanna witt's hennepin county sheriff's deputies are once again hiding their faces at the whipple building, just like ICE and CBP do

Honestly the expected defacement could well be part of the point. How many conservative weirdos have false flagged their own persecution in bizarre ways? They want to see themselves as “victims of radical left college culture.” Alpha News would probably do a weekly video weeping and gnashing over it

Supporting Northside Minneapolis Families By Supporting Northside Beyond the Bell

Rent is due and we still need to raise tens--if not hundreds--of thousands of dollars. North Minneapolis doesn't get the same kind of attention the southside does, and kids there are hurting badly. If we raise $1000 I will match. (Reply, DM, or email.) givebutter.com/beyondthebell

HSI and ice officers masked standing by their vehicle at the site of the arrest of Ward 12 neighbor.

Today, I received confirmed reports that agents from ICE and HSI forced entry into a residence on the 5200 block of 36th Ave., kicking in the door and detaining a constituent. Witnesses report that 8–9 masked agents carried out the operation. 🧵

DSA, Green Party, I'm sure Working Families Party next: anyone left of Joe Biden is an "extremist" to these losers

Labour MPs demand Starmer change course after humiliating byelection loss Scale of defeat to Greens has plunged party into fresh despair and again raised prospect of leadership challenge

UK Labor gets destroyed by Greens (and Reform) in a member of parliament election, so Labor PM Starmer "[attacks] the Greens as an 'extreme' leftwing equivalent of Reform UK"

hahaha the Jacob Frey "don't fight extremism with extremism" line goes global.

This is why people are still trapped in their homes here, unable to go to their jobs (jobs which may not even exist anymore), sick with worry over how they’ll pay bills and remain housed.

Rent is due on Sunday.

YOU TOO??? lol got acquired in Nov, now Microsoft login is my closest friend

Inside the upheaval at the Minnesota U.S. Attorney’s Office Nearly half its lawyers have left since President Trump’s return, leading to dismissed criminal cases, stalled fraud prosecutions and a rare contempt citation against a Justice Department attorney.

Strib SPILLS THE TEA on St. Joe Thompson, the MN US Attorney who loudly resigned — after attempts to kiss White House ass (like a still-unsupported claim Minnesota had $9 billion in fraud) + an office romance. Other colleagues who quit call him “irresponsible.” www.startribune.com/inside-the-u...

New meta-analysis of 26 published studies concludes that AVs will lead people to use cars a lot more — which would thicken congestion and worsen pollution (even if AVs are electric).

"AV deployment is anticipated to lead to an overall increase in Vehicle Miles Traveled."

Well geez

Seems to have very different dynamics country by country; and yes in UK seems to have caught the left wind that Labor chased out of its own sails, in a new way. One might imagine a Green Party that didnt totally crater catching the Bernie energy

Minneapolis repitching multi-million first responder center, state dollars in jeopardy Minneapolis community safety leaders are repitching a multi-million-dollar plan for a new training and wellness center just months after it was rejected by the council.

Thousands of our neighbors are struggling to pay rent. Mayor Frey is sending scolding letters painting small business aid and rent assistance as fiscally irresponsible. MPD blew $4.3 million on overtime last month.

And now the Frey administration wants $38 million for MPD’s own cop city?

the new issue of the hill and lake press features an anecdote that a man thought ICE were AI until he saw them abduct someone by his gym and i can't think of anything more emblematic of these wealthy, out of touch neighborhoods

i read that line and set the paper down. that's more than enough!

I’m happy for Saint Paul, it’s good for you all to have something once in a while

it's wild, just totally wild. and I have plenty of experience being "annoying guy interrupting your day to ask for money." The SMS programs national Dems are running seem designed to produce political callousness in 98% of recipients in return for regular donations from 2% of recipients.

Where's all the Twin Cities ICE relief concert money going, and how much? Brandi Carlile’s livestream at Target Center topped off several weeks of music and comedy events doubling as fundraisers.

Notable that all the ICE OUT charity claims in this article seem to hold up (including some impressive sums from small shows), EXCEPT for...

"Comedian Dave Chappelle at Grand Casino Arena (Feb. 16)

Commissioner Conley says HCMC could close without repurposed sales tax revenue.

Republicans passed $1.7 billion in Medicaid cuts over 10 yrs so they could pay out tax cuts to billionaires and boost funding for race-based sweeps by secret police.

Anyways, it's crazy that my state is currently under economic embargo by the Federal Government

Why am I reposting rent funds? It's still pretty bad here. I am real close to tapped out on donations this month & last, but we're gonna keep going. There's some matching right now, if you've got anything you can spare.

Please donate to keep Phillips neighbors housed! It looks like we've raised a lot - and we have! But most of that was spent covering February rent for over 320 families, and now, those same families and others need rent again for March.

On the one hand, wow, scary to live in a society in which the police and political officials conspire to kill leading activists. On the other hand, wow, good for Brazil for holding these monsters accountable.

ACLU MN reported yesterday that the federal government filed sworn statements that there are 970 agents in Minnesota for Operation Metro Surge & that 407 agents will remain here in March. It’s important to note this is on top of the 190 agents that were already assigned before this surge started.

Yesterday, the federal government filed sworn statements in our case Hussen v. Noem. The statements reveal the number of Operation Metro Surge (OMS) agents currently deployed in Minnesota and the number of OMS agents projected to be deployed in our state into March.

I don't know if people are following this story, but it's wild. Anthropic said they don't want their tech used for surveillance or weapons, and the DOD is threatening to cancel their contract and defacto blacklist them as a "supply chain risk" unless they jettison their ethical policies.
