there's a call out for people who know how to mashal at lake & bloomington now as it will get dangerous with people gathering and vehicle traffic

Ice agent

MPD assisting ICE

MPD assisting ICE

They tried lie about an ICE presence. MPD assisted with closing off the area. This is completely wrong.

I am deeply concerned about this patch on one of the "officers". Have more images/footage for press & antifascist researchers

The inside of the Agape headquarters is weird as hell too. Basically empty with lots of images on the wall unrelated to Agape… including screenshots of Derek Chauvin from the video very large on the wall and the third precinct

I knowww so sad all the stuff I’ve gotten from BBqs 😭😭

oh it was SO bad. it felt scientifically engineered in a lab to be the worst thing ever

A year ago I did a teaching residency and accidentally left my pride and joy jacket behind… with patches steadily collected over two years in Mpls. They said call when new summer session starts… so I waited a year called and they don’t have it. So so heartbroken

- Entire tour is about utilizing white guilt to discourage people from coming and to discourage their friends from coming

⁃Would you like a Prince tour?

- I actually hated police when I was younger but changed my ways
- Pointing out and naming everyone in the vicinity including people driving by (maybe don’t give out the names of young black youth right after talking abt how violent and about to mug you they are)

-Nobody ever went to Southside before George Floyd was killed (because there is no reason to whatsoever) and basically nobody should now

- Depiction of Southside as an entirely non nuanced, broken and violent community comprised of young black people who will run up on any white person they see

- Except for the the three right there in the square and they don’t work together (weird, I thought all of those were actually Agape?)

- LOTS of stories of people in the community defacing art

⁃“The system is not broken, it is working exactly as intended” followed by twenty minutes of pro Frey (“he’s a human too!”) and pro City propaganda

⁃There are basically no organizations or groups in Southside working to make the community better (it’s actually gotten worse)

⁃No mention of Peoples Closet, looking at Donation spots actively discouraged (“people live in there”

⁃Peoples Way is both simultaneously their mutual center and also it is a tragedy that it is abandoned

⁃Donald Trump helped pass a law that helped Agape members get out of federal prison, but they’re not going to vote for Joe Biden, actually they’re not going to vote at all (not sure why any of that was relevant)

⁃No mention of Say Their Names Ceremony

⁃Everyone is kind of scammers (gesture towards peoples way)

⁃Actually Duante Wright (z”l)’s father does not blame all cops and has family members in law enforcement
⁃Well his mother doesn’t really feel that way

who was very a close friend to George Floyd (z”l) in active mental health crisis unknowingly being recorded

⁃Did I mention that if you’re white, you’ll get mugged? Thank goodness Agape is there to protect you!

⁃Everyone who wanted to keep the square closed is scammers

⁃Everything about the city and police ever attacking the square ever was outright lies
⁃Actually George Floyd (z”l) never had any connection ever to Minneapolis at all
⁃Despite this, here is ten seconds of a (maybe real, maybe not) recording of a young man in the community

⁃They run George Floyd Global Memorial and practically Rise and Remember
⁃Despite this, you should not come to GFS to pay your respects because “nobody visits the place where Philando Castile (z”l) died” (?) (oh, and nobody should pay their respects either way bc it’s weird)

- Here is a long list of rapes, domestic assaults, and murders that happened solely because the square was closed. we will now point that the homes where things happened
⁃Everything is Agape’s (THEIR mutual aid center, THEIR brass solidarity band, THEIR murals, THEIR memorials)

- You should not any circumstances donate books because people will just steal them and sell them
⁃Same goes for clothes
⁃Southside was more dangerous when the square was closed because cops could not enter the neighborhood.

⁃The narrative that the city ever disliked or tried to close down the square was entirely false lies
⁃You will get mugged at the square (feat. pointing at random black boys minding their business blocks away saying that they would probably be the ones to “snatch your purse”)

in case you’ve forgotten for just a moment about mpls city-cop collaborators agape, here’s what they’re telling people in their updated tours of George Floyd Square: (🧵thread)

LONG AF… sorry. but stay vigilant, stay aware, and no justice no streets!

Here goes:
