‘Wall of Forgotten Natives’ Encampment Revived After Five Years, Gets Evicted https://unicornriot.ninja/2023/wall-of-forgotten-natives-encampment-revived-after-five-years-gets-evicted/ #Land_&_Housing #Police #homeless #Homelessness #Indigenous #MInneapolis #Minnesota #Minnesota_State_Patrol #mndot #state_troopers #Unhoused #wall_of_forgotten_natives #wall_of_forgotten_natives

On the bad news side of having former #Minnesota governor candidate and director of #MNDOT—fully revealed to have an agency culture of hatred towards us unhoused, see #WallOfForgottenNatives—as #Minneapolis director of Public Works, from Wikipedia:

"During her 2010 primary campaign Kelliher announced several policy and budget initiatives. In July 2010, she proposed that the state of Minnesota should borrow 2 billion dollars over 5 years to stimulate the construction industry in Minnesota"

#Minnesota Department of Transportation ombudsman Jim Skoog needs to fess up or figure out the #MNDOT chain of command. Who’s their #encampment people?

Meanwhile #Minneapolis #Public #Housing #Authority (MPHA) hasn't faced so much as a tent on the acres they are withholding from providing stable housing (whether built by them or allowing people to make self-built #houses

And the #Minnesota #Department of #Transportation (#MNDOT) is a prime #displacer right now, hand-in-hand with Frey's goons kicking people off another stretch of South Minneapolis #roadside every other day. #MetroTransit's unused land and their #police are never far away.

That same #MNDoT the #Minnesota department of transportation is probably responsible for displacement happening right now like they have been repeatedly nearly every week targeting mostly #unhoused #Native people:

@Zeke No, this is not until next week! Lots of time for people to help defend/delay, find places to / help move, protest / raise awareness — the works. I was still visiting there a couple hours ago. Squad cars must have been something else, and probably not a camp at all as far as i know— although Parks cops and unknown private parties destroyed one by an empty Taco Bell last night and #MNDOT plans to destroy another camp tomorrow morning.

This in a city that has the infamously murderous MPD not dismantled or defunded one whit except that being a cop is so unpopular they can't recruit; that has a separate Parks Police, Metro Transit police, county sheriff deputies, the school district recruiting ex-cops to replace MPD in schools, the #Minnesota State Police actively involved, #MNDOT bringing their own private contractors to remove unhoused people from unused land, and tons of private security (like CRG: https://unicornriot.ninja/2021/private-mercenary-group-targets-assaults-detains-anti-police-protesters-in-uptown-minneapolis/ )

#MNWX #MNDOT #Travel

This is the site of a large #unhousedPeople #encampment until a day or two ago at which time people were removed by #MNDot and other local #authorities.

Now you can see the space is filled with strategically placed mounds of dirty snow. At the lease, a classic example of #assHoleDesign. More accurately, an indicator of our moral, civic, and basic human decency failures. #minnesota #minneapolis

For those who were not tuned in last week these #MNDOT ast #Minnesota state police attacks on unhoused people are a sudden constant reoccurrence

#Minnesota 2023 Snowplow Names. #MNDOT #MN #MNwx

Please turn up before 9am if you can. If it is like last time, #MNDOT will be carrying water for mayor #JacobFrey and his local propertied oligarchs by initiating this, but the notoriously murderous #MPD will be providing much of the intimidation.

Samatar Encampment Eviction Leaves 100 Displaced Mid-Winter https://unicornriot.ninja/2023/samatar-encampment-eviction-leaves-100-displaced-mid-winter/ #Land_&_Housing #Police #alfonzo_williams #Big_Top_Contracting #cedarriverside #encampment #Encampment_eviction #house_of_balls_encampment #Houseless #MInneapolis #Minnesota_State_Patrol #mndot #samatar_crossing_encampment #sweep #Unhoused #Unhoused

Holy hell, while the eviction was going on today the #Minnesota Interagency Council on #Homelessness had their monthly webinar: "Statewide Updates on COVID-19 and Homelessness" and somehow i missed it. Note that #MNDOT is one of the agencies on this council.

For some reason I love extreme #weather events. Even if that means every road in the area is closed.

#minnesota #mndot

[3:33 pm] Blowing/drifting snow is on the increase across MN/IA just west of Interstate 35....where wind gusts are near 35 mph. Imagine what will happen when wind gusts are in the 45 to 55 mph range Friday! BE PREPARED.

Thanks #MNDOT and #IADOT for these great plowcam images!

Murderous behavior from a state agency to seal off visible survival.

You can ask #MNDOT ombudsman James Skoog at office number 651 366 3534 or e-mail james.skoog@state.mn.us if he can find out who is responsible for this life-threatening decision.

You guys! The Minnesota Name a Snowplow contest is back for 2023. Name submissions are open for the next 10 days! 👀

You know what to do, Minnesnowta.
