I thought they were all getting paid to protest, so I'm pretty sure their employers know what they do and approve...

What are you going to tell my boss? “She helped protect her neighbors”

Not for nothing, Greenland looks really pretty.

*every Black person in the US stares Bethunely*

Here it is if you also need a giggle.

literally everyone does understand.

I've always hated sales meetings as morale boosters. "we had $113 million in sales!" Bitch I had Ramen noodles for lunch three times last week

everyone is making the whiskey friday joke so I am sorry to inform you that they have, in fact, tucked their tail between their legs

He has a special "I got a present, I'm a special boy" face that he only uses for moments like this

Baby. When I turned in my RAV4 early I got a check for $5k. Cash! I’m not playing with these people.

So Volvo won’t let me turn in the car early unless I’m buying a new Volvo lol. That’s ok. But it doesn’t encourage me to get another Volvo. Hello Toyota?

Because the media does not know how to frame what is happening, they keep referring to regular Minnesotans as protesters. But there is very explicit training that so many people done to learn how to be a constitutional observer. People are bearing witness to kidnappings, with phones and whistles.

Look at this absolute queen

The thing about carceral thinking is that people foreclose their imaginations and think the only thing we can *do* is arrest, prosecute, imprison bad actors. Meanwhile progressive Minneapolis council members and organizers got an eviction moratorium resolution passed unanimously yesterday!

Many friends asking what it is like in Minnesota right now. This video-clip tells. Masked men w/ guns in ordinary places (gas stations, grocery stores, cruising streets) intimidating ordinary people & instilling fear. As a terrorism expert, I think about the logic of government instilling fear.

On the long history of this kind of relationship to the state in the Black community: under the mailbox, “We don't dial 911”

My dog trying to cleanse the timeline

Us brown Minnesotans might choose otherwise...

Hey folks Calvary Food Shelf has been helping out people in Minneapolis for 30 years, and now they’re ramping up to meet the crisis, including doing home deliveries so people don’t have to risk going out. They’re just over halfway to their current goal—let’s get them all the way, shall we?

Couple of miles away on Lake Street a little earlier

Cedar-Riverside doesn’t need you on Saturday but they HAVE asked for community support on Friday (tomorrow) for prayer.

Naaaaaaailed it

This leads me to believe that up until this meeting, Trump absolutely thought it was "hole milk."

Stunning photos from Minneapolis, including this one by John Locher for the Associated Press. www.theatlantic.com/photography/...

Unbelievable. Troops from France, Germany, the UK, Norway, and Sweden are arriving in Greenland right now. Trump has turned our allies against us.

Thanks Moon Palace!

I love how Bravocon has now become part of the plot of every show. #RHOSLC

a trip to new orleans would heal me.

Pecan pie. WHAT?!

WAT

the best part of the internet, hands down. Hence why the Right wants to destroy it.

Good boy

DON'T YOU HAVE HIS PHONE NUMBER?!?!??!?!?!

More information from the guy whose car had smoke grenades and other stuff thrown in it. The baby's heart stopped and EMS was called to the scene. Yeah, ICE may have almost killed a 6 month old baby yesterday

This is anti-Black. 😭😭😭

Every couple of weeks we get a different description of the apparently awful stench coming off our necrotic president and I think it's high time the media nail down exactly what kind of rotten meat covered in women's perfume he actually smells like.

Idk how I’m supposed to sleep tonight

So ICE is holding 3 members of the Oglala Sioux to try to extort a cooperation agreement from them. ICE has no jurisdiction over Natives because we are all automatically citizens of the US. This is just fascist.

Mrs. Pierce-Sherrod was the daughter of the chain’s founder, Harold Pierce.

There's a physical therapist on IG that predicts a few more months.

For people outside Minneapolis: North is the historically Black part of the city. It's been heavily disinvested from, gutted by the 2008 mortgage crisis, and got hit by a tornado which did damage you can still see from aerial photos. It's no mistake ICE is going after more vulnerable populations.

Near Lyndale and 24th Ave in Minneapolis tonight, feds have reportedly shot another person. Preliminary info is shaky for now, hearing two people injured. BORTAC just rolled up in an armored vehicle. A crowd is gathering outside the police tape—MPD presence as well.

Incredible that the Lakota Sioux in their homelands, and Black Americans, Hmong, Somalians, and the descendants of Scandinavians have been making the most important stand in modern times about the ideals of the US project / American experiment.

an actual mayor would not have had time for a NEW YORK TIMES PHOTO SHOOT THIS FUCKING WEEK jesus fucking christ i hate him
