This is EXACTLY what St. Paul has been warning about all these years.
Originally published on 6/2/2020 (after the killing of George Floyd), this cartoon seems all too relevant again today.

Recall that Melissa Hortman and her husband were murdered not long ago by a fake cop who showed up at their door looking like this guy
This is from Georgia Fort’s video.

The arrests of Don Lemon and Georgia Fort, plus the New York Times story about using facial recognition to take away PreCheck and Global Entry from observers, reveals how closely linked these two missions are. There is no separating ICE’s twin missions of ethnic cleansing and ideological terror.

In Men's Basketball, St Thomas and North Dakota State are a combined 14-1 in conference play with the only loss being St Thomas to North Dakota State in Fargo
They play again in Saint Paul on Feb 26th

Kickoff this evening for a StP Right To Repair ordinance campaign. Give renters the right to fix things their landlords neglect, and get compensated. A similar ordinance passed in Duluth last year.
I believe they are currently in the signature gathering phase.

She's shown up consistently for so many, including a long time friend of mine. The difference between her helping or not, was life altering for him!
I wish I could vote for her, but since I don't live in Mpls y'all gotta do it for me!

My name is Christin Crabtree, and I'm running for Minneapolis School Board - At Large.
There are so many important ways to plug in right now, but if you're looking for one that's about building towards the flourishing schools and city we all deserve, I'd love your support.

We are winning, but the ethnic cleansing is continuing. We need to stay locked in and protect our neighbors.
The people of Minnesota have executed one of the most impressive civil resistance campaigns I can remember:
- Organized a city wide general strike
- Maintained nonviolent discipline amidst violence
- Mobilized 10,000s in subzero temps to protest and watch ICE
- Flipped public opinion against ICE

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.”
That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

As an advocate for density, these last couple weeks have made me think a lot about how density forces us to support each other. Not literally, but the whistles have a much bigger impact where people can hear them.
I worry about the less dense areas struggling to fight back because of this.
