What's the O’Connor Layover System and how did it create one of the most corrupt police departments in the country? First, we want to say all police departments are corrupt killing machines. This thread is to show you how Saint Paul Police Department became what it is now

As protesters were starting to clear out, a man in a sedan hit a marshal and tried to drive off. Protesters stopped him near East 31st and Bloomington—and made the call to MPD. Yes, the same MPD that had just helped the FBI and other agencies carry out arrests in that very area.

“You should’ve stayed in the closet. We don’t give a fuck.” — A community member’s response to Council Member @JChavezMpls on his remarks about being threatened by Rev. McAfee. The atmosphere in the overflow room at this morning’s City Council meeting was disheartening.

Hey, if you're "leaving": Send your Signal handle or email to a few mutuals you want to stay in contact with. Don't just build audiences for fascist tech bros on the next platform they're herding us to. Build relationships‼️ Even if it's just 2 people or your top 10‼️

No one should have to choose between their financial stability and the ability to grieve and honor a loved one. Your support will allow her to pay her respects and be with her family during this difficult time. Any contribution helps.

We are proud to present an exhibition that showcases the extraordinary work of our fellows from the Black Scholars program and the foster youth we have had the privilege of partnering with this summer through Connections to Independence.
The image is a promotional poster for an event titled "Legendary Fosters: A Photo Gallery Showcase." The event is scheduled for Wednesday, September 4th, from 6-8 PM CDT at Art @967 Payne, located at 967 Payne Avenue, Saint Paul, MN 55130. The poster features an ornate golden frame with colorful abstract floral designs in the background. The main focus of the image is a group of children seen from behind, each wearing backpacks, symbolizing the foster youth that the event highlights. The event is supported by funding from the John and Denise Graves Foundation, Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights, and voters of Minnesota through a grant from the Metropolitan Regional Arts Council, made possible by a legislative appropriation from the Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund. Logos of these organizations are displayed at the bottom of the poster.

In the wake of the uprising, millions of dollars flowed into Minnesota, particularly the Twin Cities. Yet, most of this money was funneled into nonprofits and organizations that began to resemble bureaucratic agencies.

Minnesota stands at a crossroads; we cannot persist in endlessly passing around the same five dollars to delay someone becoming unhouse. Every day, we witness the paradox of mutual aid pleas alongside nonprofits advertising jobs with $90k salaries,
