I really think if you aren’t coming around in your abolition journey at THIS point, there may be no hope for you. They’re showing up in riot gear to help modern day slave catchers. They’re gassing people who are videoing to make public what they’re up to. They’re all bad.
We have got to collectively help people understand that of course the local* cops are acting as an arm of the machine. That is their purpose.
People need to grow their minds & grieve what they've been conditioned to believe about cops being there to help/serve/protect.

I went to a seminar about tear gas. It started as a "terror weapon" for clearing trenches in WW1. Britain didn't want to stop manufacturing it, so they marketed it as a riot control weapon thereafter. The UK remains the world's #1 supplier. It's *really* dangerous if you are pregnant or have asthma.

I was not present for this one, but the family lore is powerful: one Thanksgiving in the late 70s/early 80s my great uncle Paul had a little more bourbon than advisable before dinner was ready. He pulled out the brand-new electric carving knife and sliced the entire turkey like a loaf of bread.

More than 200 neighbors attended the Phillips community training today!
It was inspiring to see so many people come together, committed to keeping their neighbors safe.

Looks like the article has been updated to suggest maybe they misread the policy.
I see people complaining that this also disabled their spam filters, though I still see new messages showing up in spam so it's still working fine for me after disabling things.

many of us watched the Frey campaign doing this in real time & made earnest attempts to bring this information to the public, & at great cost to mental/physical health, jobs, relationships, and status within the DFL.
i do not see a difference between the way the trump & frey administrations move.

All Trump wants is to make us think some people don’t have the same humanity as others. The Frey campaign and All of MPLS spent millions of dollars spreading Islamophobia for the last year doing Trump’s dirty work for him and set this up perfectly. They should be ashamed but I’m sure they don’t care
I am a citizen and so are majority of Somalis in America. Good luck celebrating a policy change that really doesn’t have much impact on the Somalis you love to hate. We are here to stay 💁🏽♀️
