#landback isn’t a hashtag.
It’s going to take global allyship to wrestle ownership of our lands out of state & corporate control.
It’s also the only pathway forward.
Stand with us.
a horrific event happened last night in minneapolis- a shooting at a diy punk house show that claimed the life of one and had several other victims who were shot. please give what you can

I'd seen people throwing around the phrase "mission accomplished" in reference to Alexander's time in Minneapolis, but I assumed it was a joke. I didn't know Michael Rainville actually said it

Regardless your views on rent stabilization, the decent thing for Mpls Council leadership to do today would have been to exercise w/ease their ability to take up this policy item at a near future time, when all CMs could participate without religious exclusion.
It's that simple.
Eid Mubarak, y'all ✨
I'm incredibly disappointed in the City Council's procedural vote to kill Rent Stabalization today while the three Muslim Councilmembers were observing Eid al-Adha. Statement from me, @jeremiah4north, and @JamalOsmanMN:

This was Jordan Neely, a hungry New Yorker choked to death by a grinning Marine who is being celebrated as a hero by NYPD and press. His offense? “Aggressive speech”, throwing his jacket on the ground and asking for food and water.
We have become so comfortable with poverty, with Black folks in distress; that when a Black person says I have no water or food- no one thinks- “lets get him some water and food.” No, instead someone thinks- lets put him in a chokehold.
If you’re silent about your hunger, you will die and then they’ll ask why you never said anything. But if you’re loud about your hunger, this might kill you too.
UPDATE: Police Chief Brian O'hara and Hennepin County Sheriff Dawanna Witt hold press conference providing details about today's fatal shooting by the FBI. According to Sheriff Witt, another person was injured during the shooting.
What @MayorFrey people have wrought, casting folks who live and work right next to the 3rd precinct who are vehemently against its return because of their vivid and valid lived experience, trying to marginalize them as "activists" and ideological games.
As part of our Operation Safety Net reporting I filed requests for the names of the accounts used by the MPD during their illegitimate social media surveillance scheme and still think we could get that info. Faced some questionable denials & will be following up again. Stay tuned
Beyond the obvious attempts to rid Minneapolis of Minneapolis track record, this means that like Winston smith, you will never know what really happened to kevin yang, even with witness testimony
The latest in the “I am Spartacus” method of absolving any one agency or officer of responsibility for summary executions. #winstonsmithwasassassinated
Again, police are police. No amount of blame shifting or use of technicalities will erase any policing entity's responsibility and history. Abolish the police.
Hennepin County Sheriff Dawanna Witt:
“Hennepin County Sheriff’s Office was involved in the incident,” Witt said. “I can confirm we’re not the agency that used deadly force, but yes, we were involved in the use of force in this incident.”
