American Indian Movement (AIM) patrol trucks have been spotted around NE and folks are flagging them as suspicious and giving them unwelcoming glances because they don’t know who they are. This is the AIM logo and flag, which you might see on their trucks. They are friends!

Feeling like I did during the uprising when national pundits tried to tell me that the arsons on the north side, which only burned Black-owned businesses and occured miles away from GFS, were an authentic and organic protest and we should not be mad.
if you are not here in MN but are doing some armchair chin-stroking from afar about how it has always been this way in america, you fools, you rubes, i heartily invite you to shut the fuck up

No, they've declared war on the entire state.
The thing that really makes Minneapolis different, other than the fact that they straight up murdered someone, is that they've dropped all pretense that this is just about immigration. The state has declared war on its own people, or at least those people who live in cities.

I recall people in LA after we thought it was awful no matter the scale telling us "it's just a very small area" and I'm not sure how to square that with the response now where people aren't comprehending the scale or thinking they'll escape it somehow. "This Is Minneapolis" are such critical posts

This is very, very good.
"Those of us in Minneapolis-St.Paul and throughout the state have, in clear conscience, no choice but to resist through activation and observation—distractions to our daily lives be damned."

Look, I did this yesterday. Most everyone was wanting to help and giving heads up. I was surprised bc ND is the worst.
Decided to punish myself and login to nextdoor

Even that is 99% ICE posts.

And only one "reminder of some of the people illegal immigrants have killed" with most comments telling him to fuck off

Congress is moving to strip protections from 225,000 acres near the BWCA.

MN Rep. Stauber introduced H.J. Res. 140, a giveaway to Chilean mining company Antofagasta that puts toxic mining next to our cleanest water.

We have 60 days. Contact Congress & vote NO: www.friends-bwca.org/get-involved...

There was another post this morning of an interview with observers where this happened too.
Guys I think they're instantly getting DVS data.

Pulled up next to this guy on central going south in Columbia heights, followed him, they turned around, got on 694, crossed the river, and went straight to my house in Brooklyn center.

This is not even thinly veiled immigration, this is seeing what it takes to subjugate a state.

This is true, but I need people to understand it’s not just Minneapolis. It’s the entire metro, which is significantly larger.
What ICE/BP is doing to Minneapolis is awful.

And it's taking everything they have. By population, Minneapolis is America's 45th largest city.

Keep both in mind at once: the regime's desire for authoritarian domination is bottomless, and they'll act on it, but their capacity to do so is limited.

The scale of this doesn’t seem to be known to even newshound NYC friends w/o Minneapolis connections
