The Alex Pretti Memorial Ride in Minneapolis today was massive and so powerful to be a part of. I've seen estimates of 3-5 thousand riders, taking up to an hour for the ride to pass through an intersection.

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.

A neighbor described this Friday originally as "a day of prayer and fasting." With all respect to folks of other beliefs, this description feels more true (and actionable) to me.

I know people on Bsky know this but I hope it filters out: The feds are OCCUPYING the Twin Cities. This is a blockade, a siege. They are shutting down economic and civic activity. They are conducting "papers please" stops. They are criminalizing being a bystander/witness.
You could be next.

In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.

The Hampden-territorial raid at Brotex is over, no reinforcements needed
The police tape has been scaled back and the crowd of observers has shrunk, but they’re still tear gassing people—if you can go down there this situation is still live

There have been reports of federal government activity in Ward Four this morning. As of right now, we believe the entities involved are FBI and DEA, not ICE. We’re continuing to work to get official confirmation of this, and to monitor the activity in the area closely. I’ll share more as I’m able.
