10 years ago the anarchist counter-information site Conflict Minnesota posted a communique about a mask being tied around the Zapata statue’s face* in a symbolic act of solidarity with political prisoners in Mexico. Now Zapata wears a mask once again.

Politically ignorant person: "why isn't he on the streets with the people?"

Me, a seasoned observer: "you realize Jacob Frey can't be among the kind of local heroes who take to the streets against a lawless brutal police agency without getting booed mercilessly?"

Our public schools are where we come together to pour into each other & future generations. Every day I see people working collectively to create new possibilities in MPS. This moment has tangibly shown how foundational public schools are to our community & that is why I’m running for school board.
These are the parents and caregivers I organize with every day: I'm feeling really proud of this one 🔥 🫶 🔥

The biggest issue is that this is simply an ongoing siege. Not a lot has changed on the ground, so the media just kind of moves on to the next thing. There’s more feature stories about various aspects of this resistance and local media has been great, but new news keeps happening elsewhere.

Soren Stevenson lost his eye to police rubber bullets at the George Floyd protests. Now at 31, he's a Minneapolis city council member in the ward where both Floyd was murdered and federal agents killed Renée Good. He lived through state violence. Now he's fighting to END it. This is leadership.
He lost an eye in the George Floyd protests. Now he represents the ward where Renée Good was killed.

Mary Moriarty is a team player. Say what you will, but she is a consummate public servant. She's fearless and explains her reasoning. She always shows up authentically and is just as supportive of allies as they were for her. Now showing up to make sure the work continues. (Thanks taylr!)

Personal Me: this is peak Angie Craig. Local businesses supporting our communities all over the Twin Cities, she picks a coffee chain where the union organizers are currently asking for support against union busting. Read the room, Angie.

Minneapolis police are now showing up with riot cops to stop peaceful potluck protests now. All in service to protecting fascist death squads.

Minneapolis police are fully pro fascist violence and against protestors

It’s a very small thing but running for Senate during “buy local month” and showing up with Starbucks is so on the nose.

you should always be suspect of people who announce they’re going to do something instead of just doing it and launching their finished product. “i’m starting a podcast or whatever project!” and then more than a year later, 9 times out of 10 there’s nothing to show for it

Jake Lang's stupidity is actually impressive. Lmao.
The charging document for Jake Lang is up. It's a short, funny read, but I want to call out one passage:

"A trooper advised Capitol security dispatch to save the video of the incident, and Lang replied that he had great video of the incident."

Yesterday morning, in the lobby of the Hennepin County Government Center, two members of our community were arrested by ICE agents as HSCO deputies looked on. These kidnappings are horrible and cannot continue on our watch.

I continue in my attempts to impress on the Sheriff just how much her decisions are compromising the reputation of and any trust the public has in the Sheriff’s Office, as well as the entire county operation.
