Personally asked to share this by a friend after her classmate requested help for her family. Please give generously. Obviously timing is imperative. #FreePalesine#Stop
3 white male State Troopers in as many squads have one elderly black woman -who by looks is maybe a teacher- pulled over in 94E rush hour traffic NE of Lyndale backing up traffic for miles. Yeah that makes sense...on so many levels.
💯 Still dispossessing in an on-going #TrailOfTears#LandBack This land is their land, it is not your land, not so-called California or new 'York' island, deefinitely not the Redwood Forests, not a league in the Gulf Stream waters: this Land is 1st Nations' Evolutionary Ancestry
National Rent A Fence is the vendor the City paid to fence off the 31st & Nicollet encampment. Also have workers reinforcing the fencing around Kmart. How much of OUR money is spent on fencing instead of housing & services?
Images show two semi-trucks with metal fencing.
There was another eviction today of a sizeable encampment at 31st and Nicollet.
I called shelter connect to confirm: there are zero shelter beds available in all of Hennepin County today.
there is no way to make a public space bad for unhoused people without making it also bad for the public, because, and stay with me here, the unhoused are part of the public
Press Conference to Demand an End to Encampment Evictions
Tuesday, December 27 at 1:00 pm
Quarry Encampment, near Home Depot

Press release:
“CITY EVICTING MORE ENCAMPMENTS IN DANGEROUSLY COLD WEATHER
On Wednesday, December 21,
Police should never be involved with anyone dealing with any type of crisis. MPD spent 7 hours standing around when they could’ve been contacting mental health workers. They had over 40 squad cars around that apartment, thinking that would come to that man down.
The names of the officers involved in the shooting of Tekle Alemu Lonse early this morning have been released: Ofc. Aaron Pearson and Ofc. Zachary Seraphine. Both have complaint histories. Tekle was in the midst of a mental health crisis.
@TCparkresponder Esp that staffs multiple Police as daily security while claiming "we stand/build together" in writing behind them. Not enough murals in the world to cover up actively employing armed murderers.
