Cop media: “Officials announce end of…”
NO. It’s over when they actually leave #Minnesota, not when they start talking about it. And then we’ve still got to abolish DHS, the police who aid in deportations, and all the rest, while also helping people who’ve lost their jobs, apartments and families over the last few months.

NPR (National Pandemic Reinforcers) did a segment that started with, "For most people, if not all of us, pandemic masking is a thing of the past...."
Then the segment went on to talk about how lots of Olympic athletes are wearing masks and avoiding large groups, to limit the chance of getting sick and performing poorly. It also mentioned other athletes, like the Finnish hockey team, who took neither of those preventative measures, and are now in fact quite sick (the team even had to cancel a game).
Some people would see Olympic athletes wearing masks as an endorsement. Not NPR, I guess!

Important read about conditions in the DHS/ICE concentration camps.... which aren't terribly different from a lot of prisons in Amerikkka, except that more people are supporting immigrant detainees in creative and powerful ways like this:

The sad duality here is that the #minneapolis resistance now is possible because of the networks developed in 2020.... but the resistance now has been necessary because so many opted to play legislative games rather than follow the lead of the May 28 Rebels.

somebody at one of my jobs likes to use an AI [artificially inept] notetaker
i missed a meeting and so i got an email afterwards with the notes from said AI notetaker
the notes consisted a description of the someone else objecting to the AI notetaker on privacy grounds and then people agreeing to turn it off
and even in that one paragraph they got people's names wrong, and messed up who it was that objected
absolutely hilarious i was laughing my head off

OK so I'm gonna need people who are not in #Minneapolis / #Minnesota right now sharing things like "wow I can't believe ICEpointed a gun at that kid/mom/person/group/etc" to realize
this is THE NORM now. they point their guns at everyone. they come to your door? guns. they think you're in the way? guns? you tell em to fuck off? guns. they point guns. that's what they do
they're not like local cops who are supposed to file a report when they do that. they will point their gun at you. it is how they operate.

And here’s one with a long list of great things to yell at Gestapo commandant #GregBovino, including:
“Hey Greg! You’re the reason your dad got drunk and killed Janie Mae Mitchell which lead to your parents divorce. I guess that means you’re the reason they got divorced.”
“Hey Greg! Remember when you fell into the porta-John at the Valle Country Fair and they couldn’t find you for hours and people just came in and kept shitting on you and shitting on you?”
“Hey Greg! Do you remember eating the Watauga Pioneers wrestling team’s #SoggyBiscuit? Is it still hay to eat semen off a Bojangles biscuit or was that just an 80s thing?”

In today's #Minneapolis what-timeline-is-this-weirdness: a friend tells me that some ICE agents are trying to disguise themselves by wearing hijabs or wearing yellow vests, like some of the liberal watchgroups do, and also that some of them are putting those stick-figure-families on their cars to try and blend in.
yeah.... good luck with that.

2026-01-12 01:15:00 GMT

Some notes from friends otg in #Minneapolis about what's been working to defend neighbors from #ICE and what's not:
--ICE agents are getting even more angry and aggressive. Yelling and making them miserable is effective at getting them to leave, but keep your distance. Scream, holler, make a scene.
--Running from ICE works - they generally are not pursuing. This is true on foot/bike and in vehicles. If you allow yourself to be pulled over by ICE there's a good chance you'll end up with a broken window or detained.
--If you're in the streets a lot, change up your look/clothing/etc to avoid being recognized. ICE agents are also starting to recognize cars used by community defenders.
--Liberals are still telling people to stay calm, obey, etc. It doesn't work. Do not stay calm. Do not obey.
--Many businesses are keeping their doors locked, having customers knock to enter. Lots of places are closed. Neighbors who didn't know each other before are looking out for each other, even out in the burbs. We keep us safe - we're not alone, so if you can, get out there and be part of the resistance.

is there any other source about this than this one MSNOW reporter? The video on that article doesn’t have him saying it, it doesn’t sound like something he would say, and as the whole world knows, MPD has pretty much never bothered to even discipline its own officers for using excessive force (except that one time, ironically, when a Somali cop shot a white woman).
Without any evidence, this claim that MPD will somehow start taking meaningful action against ICE agents is nothing more than copaganda.

Get ready to say, “oh, I don’t know why it’s showing that. Looks to me like the payment went through, you’re good to go.” Stocker? Time to tell your buddy, “hey, drive out behind the loading dock at exactly 8:30. There’s a big box next to the dumpster.”
“But I’ll be risking my job” That’s true, take some time to think about the most likely way to get away with it… and how many of your coworkers are on SNAP, and what you’re gonna say when people ask “so what did you do back then?”

Unpopular opinion maybe, but the fact is, if a housed person asks you to do something for them, just keep on walking. A lot of these people are violent, feel the need to act up, or addicted to alcohol or drugs. And sometimes they’re not even grateful. If you want to help, it’s better to find a charity to give to instead.

Folks who've done supply sourcing for mutual aid distro in the US, what have your go-to sources for good deals been? I just found out about bagsinbulk.com but i suspect a lot of their products are crap (but would love to hear otherwise). I'm also not terribly familiar with buying from overseas but would love to hear if anyone's had success source cheap supplies (handwarmers, tents, backpacks, and accoutrements)
To be specific: I'm wondering about any experiences with sourcing that don't involve big box stores - i already know how to find the deals at crustco/aldi/etc etc

I enjoyed listening to @npub1syh…9vf5 on the camas infoshop podcast talking about liberal vs radical abolitionism. I wish I had understood more 10 years ago about the duplicity of some of these goobers who want to "abolish" police and prisons thru means of the state (i.e., creating other policing and imprisoning)
Also, defining "liberal" as believing in the necessity of state power makes talking about this shit a whole lot easier by bypassing every lousy every red acronym org claiming to hate liberals while doing the same thing as them /but with a goofy newspaper/

So, I just read the latest Your Local Epidemiologist newsletter, which discussed that the U.S. FDA is expected to license the 2025-6 #covid vaccine this Friday or soon after, and likely restricted to people 65+ and "high risk" people. Given that, the newsletters recommendation is: ❗ "if you’re under 65 and not high risk, the window to get a Covid-19 vaccine is right now—before the FDA label changes. Once it happens, access will be limited immediately (if it isn’t already).
https://yourlocalepidemiologist.substack.com/p/covid-19-vaccine-label-change-alpha
So to guard against whether or not I'll be able to get that high risk designation, I started calling pharmacies in my mid-size city. Most of the say on their website that covid vax appointments are available now via appointment or walk-in. After navigating their phone robots in order to talk to actual pharmacists, here's what I found about the current (2024-5) vaccine availability here:
All the Walgreens: totally out
All the Walmarts: totally out
All the Health Marts: totally out
CVS: out
Indy pharmacy #1: totally out
Indy pharmacy #2: one single dose remaining [this, and the other places, said they won't be ordering more til the 2025-6 vax is available for them)
I gave up, but then got a callback from a CVS inside Target (their phone system literally doesn't let you talk to a human, only leave a message). They have "a few" doses left. So that's where I'm headed, I guess.
Not only are all these places just not bothering to keep stock of the vax for the biggest plague in our lifetime, they also are giving on their websites (and giving via their phone voice robots!) complete disinformation about availability, and not a single person bothered to mention to me how severely the 2025-6 vax is likely to be limited.
Y'all..... we are, and continue to be, so fucked

2025-08-07 15:46:25 GMT

Been meaning to make this post for a while and putting it off bc idk how to do it right, but here goes: earlier this summer I learned of the passing in April of the legendary Twin Cities tagger Transtifa, who tormented local nextdoor nerds and facebook fascists more than perhaps any single person over the past 5+ years.
Seeing a transtifa tag around town always made me and my homies smile - and you were bound to see them everywhere, because that bitch got AROUND. How did she do so much? I learned how one day after catching a glimpse of her roller skating down a dark street at lightning speed in a crop top and short shorts, bag of spray cans and paint pens slung over her shoulder.
I was hashtag blessed enough to meet her before Transtifa took off, thanks to (and this fits her perfectly) grindr. We didn't totally hit if off at the time (mostly bc i figured she was totally out of my league, lol) but we did have a nice stroll around town sharing art tips. Later we worked together on some art in advance of an action and damn, her freehand lettering sucked but she blew me away by climbing out to paint the outside of a railroad bridge with zero hesitation :neomouse_googly_shocked: Tbh just the amount of haters she had was admirable.
She was one of the boldest and bravest people I knew, one of the few people I've ever remained in awe of after meeting them, and lived far more in her too-few years than most people do in a lifetime. I didn't know her well but I miss her a lot--just knowing she was around tearing up the streets gave me something vaguely like hope.
I'd say be the transtifa you want to see in the world, but there won't be another quite like her and I wish I'd told more how much I appreciated her when I could. Rest in power and paint, girl.

thanks to everyone for the investigating. the kolektiva account gave me a follow request and after looking thru their profile, it definitely seemed a little bit off - not a lot of extra info and no fedi-specific interaction.

FBI arrests an alleged protester after running their unmasked photo (taken by corporate media) thru a facial recognition filter, in Portland --
https://rosecitycounterinfo.noblogs.org/2025/08/all-cameras-are-cops/
"Every camera is an asset to the state and a threat to those who fight back. From the professional journalist “just doing their job” to the movement livestreamer who’s “on your side,” to the protester waving their phone around for a social media post- all cameras are cops. This case is just the latest example, but there are many more that have come before. As AI and facial recognition software use expands, it is more important than ever to block, paint, and smash cameras at protests."

Everyone should have eyes in Atlanta tomorrow and likely in the coming weeks, where the #StopCopCity trial of Ayla King is set to begin. The new piece from @npub105j…0yvz is a good primer:
https://crimethinc.com/2025/07/06/the-trial-of-ayla-king-the-first-of-the-stop-cop-city-rico-cases-goes-to-trial
It alludes to tone of the tactics of the prosecution as sweeping up supporters from outside Atlanta, something MLK noted in his famous letter from Birmingham jail: “I cannot sit idly by in Atlanta and not be concerned about what happens in Birmingham. Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly. Never again can we afford to live with the narrow, provincial “outside agitator” idea.”

2025-07-03 17:55:16 GMT

The first #StopCopCity RICO defendant's felony trial is set to begin Monday, January 7. Ayla King, a young working class activist arrested at the Welaunee Music Festival, bravely filed for a speedy trial and refused any plea deal. Their case will mean mountains for the other 60 defendants.
People in (and traveling to) Atlanta are organizing for a festival-like atmosphere outside the courthouse to support Ayla and the movement, as well as funds for court and organizing costs including food, clothes and housing for Ayla in the event the trial lasts the expected 4-6 weeks. To that end, a new fundraiser page has been made - please give and encourage others to give here: https://www.givesendgo.com/freeaylaking
If you're unable to be in Atlanta, host a fundraiser, make a care package, and raise a ruckus for Ayla and the other defendants. Our movements are only as strong as our support for targets of state repression, and now's the time to show we defend out people!

Alright, finally got a report from a comrade I trust very much who was otg at the #Minneapolis ICE/DEA/ATF/FBI et all raid today. Main points:
--Shortly after the raid began, MPD arrived and conferred with federal agents; from their convo it seemed possible that MPD had not previously been notified of the raid. The feds did claim that it was "not immigration" related.
--Near 11:30, some armored vehicles and enforcement agents departed; the swelling crowd moved to the front of the business that was surrounded by feds and MPD. MPD soon departed and additional federal reinforcements arrived. Protesters blocked a van and feds responded with pushing and shoving at this point; one person was violently detained, but later released. Many small groups then began to impede the progress of federal vehicles, which led to more violence from the feds and MPD returning to the scene in larger numbers.
--Subsequently, feds and HCSO deployed pepperballs and spray on a few occasions. A community member fainted and was taken to the hospital. My comrade did not see anyone from the business detained nor anyone else in custody taken away from the scene.
-- My comrade's assessment was that the search warrant story may have been a pretext to conduct a large military-style operation in a largely immigrant neighborhood - but that none of the law enforcement agencies present seemed fully prepared to do crowd control or secure their operation given the size of the community response.

Sahan Journal reports from #Minneapolis that the state forces deployed rubber bullets and pepper spray [note that the exact form of such munitions are often misidentified by people otg), and that several protesters were "arrested" (the word of a witness, who might well mean "detained".

Per Minnesota [Police] Radio News, the Hennepin County Sheriff says the #Minneapolis raid today was related to a search warrant unrelated to immigration issues. ... [Press ❌ to doubt]
That of course, is irrelevant, because whenever the FBI, DEA, ATF, Homeland Security, and all the local piggie agencies descend on your neighborhood, there's only one reasonable response: push em the fuck out
This is the chief of Minneapolis police (pic from above gross media outlet), who of course it is very very normal to see strolling around at the execution of a very normal search warrant

UPDATE on #Minneapolis ICE (attempted?) raid: I'm getting somewhat conflicting reports from on the ground, but all seem to concur that ICE and the associated agencies have left the area. Some folks are saying that people who were detained were then released, but I'm not sure if that's the case.
According to nicepersonality.social on blooski who was on the ground, Hennepin County Sheriffs blocked off traffic and were present since the beginning of the action; Transit Police and MPD came later. Tear gas was deployed at one point against protesters in the vicinity of the nearby Bloomington Ave crossing over the Midtown Greenway. The FBI and DEA were also on the scene.
Federal agents also took boxes from the Cuatro Milpas restaurant into their vans.
Here's a pic from taylr.bsky.social. This guy apparently didn't get the memo on full battle fear that the result of the stormtroopers did.

Apparently the Wedge Coop in #Minneapolis is trying to ban their employees from wearing political pin buttons at work, in response to a lot of employees wearing Palestine pins. I'm sure this will go well for them
Fuck the Wedge 5ever
But just in case you think any other faux-op is better - my friend went to Seward instead before passover, and found out the only matzoh they had was from Isntreal 🙃

>>"Oh, I don't know if we can make masks required at our event... how would we enforce it? What if people don't have a mask? I live in a red state. What if the venue doesn't allow it. It sounds too hard etc etc etc"
Ok people so last weekend I tabled at a zine fest in Nebraska with like 25 vendors. The state is overwhelmingly Trump country and Omaha has a Republican asshole mayor and a Republican asshole congressperson. The organizing crew was 4 people. They bought a bunch of kn95s cheap in bulk. They put masks required on all their promo materials. They rotated duties so there was always one person standing at the door to the pertinent area next to the welcome table (the rest of the building did not require masking) and simply handed masks to anyone coming in who wasn't already wearing one.
The event lasted 5 hours and was attended by hundreds of people. In my estimation, 99%+ of people were masked up. It was busy the entire time. I made a lot of buxx and made a lot of good connections. It was rad. A lot of people expressed their appreciation for the masking, and I personally heard no complaints. Shoutout Alt Pub Omaha.
Your crew can easily do this too.

pretty damn soon it's going to be 5 years since the 2020 uprising, and guess what?? #minneapolis still doesn't have a new 3rd precinct police station, its police force is still down 40%, and they are desperately advertising for new recruits on /reddit/ lmaooo
also, the old police precinct still has its burned facade in plain view, despite the city now having placed banners there saying "cleanup efforts are underway". it's like the city government decided "you know what, we're just gonna leave this burned facade here to remind the world how terrible it was" while everyone else is like "hell yeah! love that the burned facade is still there remind the world how awesome that was!"
so yeah, turns out #RiotsWork, at least a lil

Hey losers, everybody get in: it’s time for my annual Holiday Postal Tips From A Mailroom Worker to Make Everyone’s Life Easier. (In the U.S., at least. Canada, you’re just fucked this year, sorry lmao)
Are you MAILING SHIT? Don’t be a goddamned sucker and wait in line at the post office for chrissakes. You will wait a long time and be mad. The people behind you will also be mad. Instead, go to USPS dot com, make an account, print a label for your package, and then you can either schedule a pickup at your door or take it to the PO and just leave it on the counter/in the bin/hamper/whatever your post office has without needing to wait. Bonus: it’s cheaper than the retail counter! Don’t have a printer? Use your work’s, a friend’s, or your dealer’s. It will still be faster than waiting in line.
Are you mailing LOTS OF SHIT, like from your uncharacteristically popular Etsy store? After you print those labels, make a fuckin SCAN FORM so that the postal clerk can scan one barcode instead of making the whole line wait while they scan all 20 of your barcodes individually as the pile grows taller and wider. The clerks will remember you and be nice to you.
Are you RECEIVING SHIT? Do you have your tracking number? Are you tempted to call customer service or a 1-800 USPS number to ask why tf your package is late? FUCKIN PLEASE DO NOT. Once the package is received by the carrier, the shipper has no way of knowing more than the tracking information that you the customer can see. We will just say words to make you feel like you matter. USPS customer service ALSO DOES NOT KNOW more than what you can see. You will be wasting their time and making everyone’s shit even more late. FUCKIN WAIT.
Are you wondering when you should send or order shit so it will ARRIVE ON TIME? Lmao, nobody else but you cares about your package unless you have enough money to not need the postal service anyway. The best time is YESTERDAY, and the 2nd best time is NOW. The post office is still intentionally understaffed, and covid is still causing much more shortages staffing due to illness than pre 2020 (without widespread masking, the flu is back too). Your package is probably stuck in “in transit” status for the seventh straight day because there are literally not enough employees to move it.
Do you HAVE TO GO TO THE POST OFFICE even tho I told you not to? For fucks sake, don’t go at lunch or closing time. Best time is usually mid morning, unless you absolutely live waiting in long lines. And WEAR A GODDAMN MASK. Lord knows the clerks probably aren’t, and who tf else is gonna take your package when they get sick? They don’t have enough clerks as is!
Got anymore postal questions? Feel free to reply and I will try my best to answer. Jingle Jingle bitch 🎄🎅🎁

Hey! Do you have a story about being kicked out of somewhere for doing something rad? Class? Store? Workplace? Abandoned warehouse? Not-abandoned warehouse? I wanna hear it!

Hello! There is no logical basis for not masking, just because you have been recently vaccinated! These things are different kinds of layers of partial protection, and even an acutely mild case of covid can lead to debilitating long term symptoms!
It's like saying, "No need to wear a seat belt - I'm driving the speed limit!"

just some ordinary bullshit scenes from the city of death so far this morning…
—a new spot where the dept of transportation has erected a 10ft iron fence with the express purpose of preventing poor folks from taking respite underneath a bridge, and forcing everyone to walk in the street
—the park board has turned the only free parking near the hospital into paid parking
—the authcom posters wheatpasted up and down the street (those that haven’t been totally painted over by someone wielding black spray paint with nothing better to do) declare “class war 2024!” but ofc by “class war” they mean “vote for our obscure candidate and then come to our Marxist reading group”
—nobody in the hospital waiting area, nor the receptionists, are wearing a mask

Saw a couple shitty posters out and about for "CPAC", our local version of "community control of the police", the other day. Ever since 2020 this local coalition of authoritarian socialists and sundry front groups has been pushing this agenda to siphon off energy from abolitionist organizing. My hypothesis is that they know full well that community "control" of cops has something that's been tried and failed over and over, but they just can't imagine a world where they're not allowed to tell other people what to do. They also really, really enjoy pretending that collecting signatures puts them on the front line of struggle.
Anyway, last local election, their petition drive got rejected because the city clerk claimed they didn't have enough valid signatures to move ahead. So what are they doing this time around? The exact same thing!
To inoculate against this strange vision where policing is OK as long as your local communist org is telling it what to do, I recommend reading and distributing this analysis by folks here in Minneapolis. (If you'd like it as a zine, dm me for the pdf).

Here's an #Asheville corporate news story from Monday reporting about people gathering survival supplies from a destroyed, flooded-out Aldi grocery.
The word the article uses is "scavenge". A welcome change from the tone often seen in these kinds of stories.
As a reminder, Asheville is about 75% white.
Shout-out to everyone doing what they need to in order to help themselves and others survive, without regard for made-up laws. #Helene

Remember: “looting” (“neighbors finding survival supplies”) is also morally just when there’s not a natural disaster, only the regular everyday capitalism disaster, too
I don’t make the rules. Loot the hoarders back just like they’ve looted us

2024-09-30 13:42:10 GMT

All y'all posting lists of "things you should be doing now to prepare for natural disasters" in the wake of #Helene need to stop omitting:
--Join with local efforts to abolish policing
--Prepare counter-repressive measures (disguises, means of defence & means of attack) to defeat police hoarding supplies
So far (I haven't been paying close attention) I've already seen reports of cops mobilizing to support the owners of an Ingles grocery that refused to even sell supplies to residents, and (last boost) cops dispersing people from getting bottled water from a wrecked transport
Now that I think of it, Katrina happened long enough ago that a lot of adults can't remember it, huh? If you have the time and the stomach, read up on how the cops there were just as much of a killing force as the hurricane itself....

Today I learned an interesting fact about the famous Diego Rivera “Detroit Industry Murals”, a series of huge frescoes painted for the Detroit Institute of Arts in 1932. They sparked huge controversy at the time - was it because they humanized the unemployed local workers, six of whom were murdered by Ford security during a March that year? Maybe the nude figures holding armloads of grain and fruit? Or was it the representation of Coatlicue, the Aztec goddess, depicting the sacrifice of workers to the “gods” of industry?
It was none of these. The Catholic Church was outraged instead by the panel depicting an infant being vaccinated surrounded by doctors (“three wise men”) and the animals that provides the serum. Thankfully - their efforts to whitewash all the panels in response did not succeed.

I"ve been reading bit by bit a book about Jewish women resistance fighters in occupied Poland during the WWII holocaust and cannot emphasize enough that the people described pretty much in every single way just regular people just like us, and their thought processes (that we know of from journals and oral histories) are more or less just those of most rebel groups today, just in a desperately amplified context
"oh goddammit, the council sold us out again" "they're saying we should just go peacefully and maybe it won't be so bad that way" "fuck that, i know we only have three pistols, let's fight anyway. maybe at least history will remember some of us chose not to be complicit" "ok, how many people do we have left still in on the plan? seven of us? ok, i guess that'll have to do"
and then, reading this becomes even more of a trip when you realize that people in palestine and lebanon are acting out the same thing *right now* and in a few decades perhaps i'll be reading the same book about them

Troy Davis was another Black man executed for a crime he did not commit, back in 2011 in Georgia. His last words are something to behold:
“No matter what happens… this movement to end the death penalty, to seek true justice, to expose the system that fails to protect the innocent, must be accelerated. There are many more Troy Davises. This fight to end the death penalty is not won or lost through me but through our strength to move forward and save every innocent person in captivity around the globe. We need to dismantle this unjust system city by city, state by state, and country by country. I can’t wait to stand with you. No matter if that is in physical form, I will one day by announcing – I am Troy Davis and I am free! Never stop fighting for justice and we will win!”
