HEY TWIN CITIES FRIENDS!!!!!
Thanks to some incredible Twin Cities and Chicago folks, we have a whistle party on Saturday!
Come out if you live in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area. We’ll be folding zines and putting them together with whistles that have been donated for free speech and community safety.
Take some to distribute!

Tanner, the rescued bobcat, is having fun with a stick!
Tanner was brought to Northwest Trek from a wildlife rehab center in 2012. Tanner is a playful bobcat and enjoys spending time with his rescued bobcat buddy, Tahoma. Like most cats, if he doesn’t want to do something, he won’t.

Jeez I see why it's going to be about 4 hours long. Gotta reintroduce everyone. It's going to make the Stranger Things Season 5 cast look like No Exit.
Nia DaCosta has seemingly confirmed that Captain Marvel, Ms. Marvel and Monica Rambeau will return in ‘AVENGERS: DOOMSDAY’
“I was just visiting the Avengers set last summer, which was really fun … some of my friends were in the movie.”

This is Minneapolis:
Walk into my neighborhood ACE last night & see the signage on their door notifying fed agents that it’s private property and cannot be used for immigration enforcement. These signs are all over the city.
Walk in & the nearest shelf has goggles & whistles.

Schools are going full remote because of ICE and this is normal protocol when dealing with a rampaging virus that kills people indiscriminately

After all of this is sorted, we need a 30-year moratorium on copaganda in mass media.

People really do not understand how out of control Minneapolis is right now. I spent almost 8 hours today on the street in different parts of the city and saw everything from tear gas and pepper balls being used to fully marked ice vehicles roaming and pointing out people to camera crews onboard.
ICE is now ramming civilian cars through red lights in Minnesota. — they are tax payer agitators ‼️
