The roasting the people and process trying to ram through rebuilding the murderous cops' 3rd precinct for #MayorFrey shows that demanding data and reasons proves their policies are based on prejudice and lies.

The newfound willingess to negotiate a future for the East Phillips #RoofDepot shows the only things #Minneapolis wannabe rulers understand are protest power, lawsuits, and media narratives.

We #unhoused must take note.

This chart means every time your city knocks down one concrete building to put up another (hello #Minneapolis #RoofDepot) every time your state expands or even maintains a highway (hello #Minnesota I-94), every moment your country lets the wealthiest cling onto their ill-gotten gains instead of redistributing for all of us to mitigate our climate impact— your polity is committing crimes against humanity and all known life.

Encouraging news.

Hardball politics. Environmental racism. A basic city service. A community's search for pride.

The fight over #RoofDepot in #Minneapolis is about a lot more than whether to demolish a warehouse. My latest for @MinnPost helps us all catch up on the saga: https://www.minnpost.com/environment/2023/02/the-long-bitter-fight-over-minneapolis-roof-depot-site-explained/

Driving home from #minneapolis I saw an informative graffiti reminding me that we need to support our neighbors in the #EastPhillips neighborhood by being loud about the #Arsenic poisoning that will come from tearing down the #RoofDepot. There's been a pause thanks to the brave activists.

#Minneapolis cops are arresting women in particular among those who were holding space in the #RoofDepot

More than 50 cop cars surrounding the #RoofDepot in East Phillips, #Minneapolis.

Minneapolis must finish the work of abolishing the police.

#Abolition is the only route to freedom.

Many quit just from being shouted at. Now is a good time to go do that.

Wow! As i typed, again people are rising up and doing what the puppets of local real estate lords will not do— keep us safe. Absolutely inspiring effort to stop local environmental danger by occupying the #RoofDepot —
