THIS WEEK Mpls Petitions for both residents of North Minneapolis & residents of the rest of Minneapolis. Public comment Wednesday. Advised to arrive a bit early if you have prepared remarks.

Misogyny among law enforcement is so prevalent, it's not even considered misconduct or violence. www.404media.co/footage-show...

45 years ago today. Buried on page 20 on a holiday Friday just like this one, news that changed the world. www.nytimes.com/1981/07/03/u...

Christopher Gearhart, an ICE deputy from Lakewood, CO, was arrested on May 19, 2026 after an internal affairs investigation by Lakewood Police showed Gearhart manipulating his body camera while propositioning a woman for sex. Gearhart resigned from Lakewood Police last year and joined ICE.

Free Tibet activist, 52, self-immolated outside the United Nations in NYC earlier tonight. Beside him, the Tibetan flag. Around him, papers with big letters printed out: “China out of Tibet.”

On June 23, a jury unanimously found the LAPD and City of Los Angeles liable for breaking Pablo Vera’s arm during the Lakers NBA Finals celebrations in October of 2020. The full story: lataco.com/lakers-fan-l... By @shoton35mm.bsky.social and Lizbeth Solorzano

This man and his police department love few things more than exacerbating homelessness and then assaulting the homeless.

Akale rocked that one 🎸 🤘 (🎥 millzycreatve on IG)

Rebecca Morgan was just sentenced to 15 years by Chief District Judge Reed O'Connor.

Ines Soto was just sentenced to 50 years by Chief District Judge Reed O'Connor. Joy "Rowan" Gibson was just sentenced to 15 years by Chief District Judge Reed O'Connor.

NEW: Minnesota 15 Defendant Isaac Sant Speaks Out "It's about quelling dissent in Minneapolis. And it's about coming after the movement that rose up against ICE during Metro Surge in December and January," said Isaac Sant, one of 15 defendants charged with conspiracy for their anti-ICE activism.

The Los Angeles District Attorney’s Office says they’re reviewing the case that LAPD presented regarding Brian Palacios, an ICE agent who killed Keith Porter, Jr. while off duty. Saying “cases like this can take several months or more to resolve.”

LA City Council today also voted against a proposed ballot measure giving them control over the LAPD. Voters could've decided on the charter amendment giving council power to set LAPD policy and discipline. Currently, only the police commission can do so.

LAPD Chief O’Donnell just announced that they “don’t have any gangs within the department.” Several in the crowd laughed. (The department forwarded charges to the DA for several officers accusing them of conducting law enforcement gang activity)

This is scientifically false. “Sex is an immutable "biological" characteristic, see ante, at 10; it is binary; and "man" and "woman," "boy" and "girl," are the terms that correspond to adults and children of each sex.”

Despite repeated guarantees from the government that the immigrants detained were the “worst of the worst,” HRW found that – of the roughly 4,000 immigrants federal agents detained from December 2025 to February 2026 – over 75% had no criminal history. unicornriot.ninja/2026/operati...

Great voices piece in De Los on the Lineage Fire and fallout in Boyle Heights/LA features one of the most dystopian quotes I’ve ever read. “Kids ran up to me like I’m the ice cream man passing out masks because no one has come for them. No one,” Pum said. www.latimes.com/delos/newsle...

I vote we make Los Angeles the biggest Dark Sky Conservation City & take out the street lights that are still working But I’m pretty sure I’m in the minority darksky.org

Please help out the good people over at @lcrw.news . They’ve got a great mission for an undercovered aspect of… all this.

This is further reporting on a story I've been working for several months, and includes a whole bunch of information previously nowhere seen including that the LA DA has declined charges against at least two officers embroiled in the Mission Division gang scandal.

Pretty big story here. First on it. LAPD officers accused of discrimination and unlawful searches, according to internal disciplinary records that also identify them as participants in what California law defines as a law enforcement gang. latenfour.com/2026/06/25/l...

In related news that you may have already seen, we’re hosing down places like national parks with glyphosate.

Freeze the Fall just wrapped their mini tour. You are sleeping on this band. I need y’all to stop doing that so they can tour outside of western Canada. youtu.be/ynzgye2Lbck?...

WCCO with a story just now proud that they got Minneapolis PD to sweep a homeless encampment. What happened to those people, where they are now, is not a question in their story. MPD could have dumped their corpses in a landfill for all these reporters cared.

For reference, the longest sentence issued amongst those charged for January 6 went to Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio. He got 22 years.

Remember these draconian Prairieland sentences when people talk about the importance of using the criminal system for "justice." A system is what it does; nothing more.

Thinking of the folks currently in the dragnet in MPLS in the wake of the Prairieland sentencing today This gov wants to bring down those us who dare to resist fascism at every turn. Do your best to protect yourself, yes, but don’t be afraid. We are on the right side of history here, & they know it

There are a lot of people out there with way bigger platforms and voices than many of us, and not a peep out of anyone that might have some power to change things. Step the fuck up.

In Texas you can rape a child for multiple years and the state will step in to issue a 30 day sentence. Oppose kidnapping and disappearing of neighbors and you get 50-100 years.

Worth remembering that the state itself has an ideology of kidnapping and purging immigrants from the USA, and that these protesters have an ideology of opposing that.

these are the sentences for 8 of the Prairieland federal trial defendants Judge Mark Pittman: Benjamin Song: 100 years Maricela Rueda: 70 years Elizabeth Soto, Meagan Morris: 50 years Judge Reed O'Connor: Zachary Evetts, Savanna Batten, Autumn Hill: 50 years Daniel "Des" Sanchez Estrada: 30 years

Seems it’s worth reminding folks in Los Angeles and everywhere about Corsi-Rosenthal boxes. www.texairfilters.com/a-variation-...

Smoke from the fire in Boyle Heights floated throughout the county, into Dodger Stadium, and as far east as Pomona, into Montclair and San Bernardino County. This is a developing story, here's what we know: lataco.com/smoke-lineag... By @afroxander.bsky.social

live now at the soccer celebration on nicollet mall: a bunch of cops standing around an arby’s “WE HAVE THE MEATS” tent as the shakira song ‘hips don’t lie’ plays downtown minneapolis has never been so back

Let’s talk a little bit about the warehouse fire, state of emergency and overall shitty situation that is the warehouse fire in Boyle Heights. Something of an explainer for those that don’t live in LA (and frankly those that do but never cross the bridge east of downtown).

🧵MATCH THREAD Minneapolis City SC vs. Edgewater Castle FC Crows look to set a new club best with seven-consecutive League Two wins. #MINvEDG | #MplsCitySC Our line-up:

Greetings! I’m here at Delaney Hall in Newark, New Jersey. A fairly large convoy of vehicles, including a bus as well as ambulance have arrived at the immigrant detention facility. ICE (and likely other agencies but can’t confirm) briefly outside. One pepper ball shot at the ground.

NEW: A branch of Israel's largest weapons contractor, Elbit, is seeking a massive deal with Trump's Pentagon. Comes as Netanyahu and Republicans push to fuse the US and Israeli militaries. If Elbit gets the deal, it could make the US "dependent" on the weapons contractor for a generation to come.

considering feds & our own local/state cops continue to get more fast and loose with the pepper spray & CS gas, highly encourage folks to start carrying decent lab grade safety goggles & n100 of some sort these fucks are especially squirrely at impromptu action in response to their fuckshit

Kyron Shakeel Swaso, 35, spoke with L.A. TACO following his deportation to Belize, in what he says was an act of retaliation for organizing a hunger strike at the Adelanto ICE Processing Center. The full story: lataco.com/deported-ade... By Izzy Ramirez

Minnesota folks should remember how frozen the vast majority of their elected “leaders” were. They went invisible at best, collaborated at worst, to say you were on your own. Only to come out to claim victory after a ton of you did the work. I’d not rely on them here either.

MN US Attorney Daniel Rosen evaded questions about how many law enforcement were injured and how many other cases disintegrated earlier. The 94 page indictment is online now. Presser is over. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

DOJ is saying "Operation Vanguard" is under NSPM-7 policy and 15 people are indicted involving Minnesota "antifa groups" in a press conference right now.

Kill a $170 million prevention program, claim that saves $250 million, scramble for a subsequent $1 billion disaster cleanup program. The sort of situation you get when enabling people that think in terms of quarterly profit as much of US political leadership does.

Police as a whole love to kill dogs. Serial killer shit with animals. Over the years I’ve seen far too many videos of police antagonizing a dog to give themselves a sliver of pretense. No different here. Fuck LAPD.

LAPD killed a woman’s dog on Friday. The officers showed up 20 deep w/ a helicopter over a noise complaint. LAPD claims the dog “charged” at them. The labradoodle was wearing a Knick’s jersey, too. The video is distressing. I’ll link it in the thread.

Really love how people rapidly forgot that The Atlantic is operated by a genocidal Zionist so that they could get back to sharing tepid liberal content & opinions available from many other outlets.
