Yesterday I saw someone holding a sign that read "Even the Beatles hated MPD". I had never heard of this before: https://t.co/bLC4EJCXd8

Tear gas at bedtime: Brooklyn Park residents, including kids, suffer from aggressive police tactics to quell Daunte Wright protests. https://t.co/jSi58a6biV by @@LoganCCarroll

@mnlizzy Can I vote twice because obvs Chuck is the villain but William is definitely an accomplice of the worst order

And you wonder why Minnesota's racial disparities in health are so terrible. Stuff like this. https://t.co/mZLApnj02L

Police raided the home of an older Somali couple, bound their wrists, and yelled at their small children. Then the police told them their son was shot dead.

After Minneapolis police killed Dolal Idd, a source said the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension did a search at the residence of the man's home in Eden Prairie.

He said the family was traumatized. Officers handcuffed some family members, he said.

@JustKateBlack my Czech grandma is wondering if you’re accepting interviews for the role of granddaughter who can actually make a kolache

[disappointed mpls resident @grreenonion]

The “column" Joe Soucheray writes for @PioneerPress is pointless, tone deaf and dangerous. He is not in conversations we are having in the neighborhoods of St. Paul.

Disgusted + disappointed this shit would even be printed.

[Emily Weber @EmilyMWeber]

Imagine building your career off of mimicking Black American musicians and then hating both non-Brits and Black people. Incredible.

[Emily Weber @EmilyMWeber]

Friendly reminder that Eric Clapton sucks and also how weird is it that so many people who are anti-lockdown also seem to hate people of color so much...?

Tonight, we have made history.

Scotland will be the first country in the world to make access to free period products a legal right.

@MattPrivratsky That’s my cousin reporting this St Paul slander! Can’t decide if I’m thrilled or offended.

I know people are anxiously awaiting ballot counts but PLEASE stop telling states + workers to move faster.

My friend counting in Detroit said a Republican poll watcher challenged EVERY single ballot they counted, slowing the process down.

Ballot counters are doing their best.

Beware of organizations that claim to work to "create a more equitable and just state for all people", but don't extend that objective to their employees...

The $ we spend on cops is atrocious. Cops do not keep us safe. I'm so ready for a conversation on what investments we need to make in our community to keep people safe: housing, food access, education, strong transit. Grateful for @RootnRestoreSTP's response to our city budget.

[The Awood Center @AwoodMpls]

Wow! Read this powerful piece about Awood leader Hibaq Mohammed & her work pushing @amazon to be a a safe workplace. Every Minnesotan -- no matter our race, religion, gender, job or zip code -- should be able to make it home safe to our families.

This makes sense if you think about politics as a movie wherein politicians are the sole characters, but much less so if you think about the millions of people who suffer the impact of their actions

[Minnesota Voice Workers @MNVoiceWorkers]

‼️STRIKE ALERT‼️ Today, the workers at Minnesota Voice are starting a work strike due to our Board of Directors and Interim Executive Director not responding to all of our requirements to continue working. A union is the bare minimum. #MinnesotaVoiceWorkers #UnionStrong

[FM Union @FM__Union]

Performative activism: a pejorative term referring to activism done to increase one's social capital rather than because of one's devotion to a cause.

We’re not a fan of this performance. 👎 👀
