After a fascist mob was allowed to take over the U.S. Capitol, Trump’s attempts to overturn the election can’t be dismissed as a clown show. It should have been obvious weeks before.
Wisconsin showed how serious it was. Trump lost the state by just 20,682 votes, a little more than six-tenths of a percentage point. It was still a significant victory against racism.
Trump’s campaign was nonstop racism. It spent millions on racist Facebook ads attacking the Black Lives Matter movement. The ads targeted both Minnesota and Wisconsin, where two of the biggest anti-racist rebellions took place
This is of Saint Paul, MN on University Ave yesterday evening. Multiple buildings were already in flames at that point.
Update:
1. The killer cop, Derek Chauvin, was charged an arrested today. Third degree and Manslaughter charges. Why not all four? Why not sooner? Why not more?
2. Just a half an hour ago, Minneapolis and Saint Paul were placed under curfew. We are not allowed to leave our homes between the hours of 8PM and 6AM. If we do, we will “face arrest”.
Truthfully, I don’t know if one murder charge is gonna be enough when all four cops (although the whole damn system is at fault) are responsible for George Floyd’s death. Tonight will be interesting.
If you’re not here with us, and if you can’t protest because no local ones are being held, share this shit. Share our pictures and our stories. Donate to the arrested protestors and to the organizations that will help rebuild the communities that are taking a beating so that this current uprising can happen!

If you follow me, then you must know that I’ve been posting these daily reminders not to lose site of what’s important. Today is a #SethRogan edition. . . All lives don’t matter until black lives do. If you have a problem with that, you’re the issue: DO BETTER. . . Again HUGE shoutout to @unicorn.riot for live streaming the protest!! We understand more because of the work you do. . . Watching the protest on live feeds & hearing directly from protestors themselves helps to understand; more than what the national media chooses to show us.

#Repost @naziejoon • • • • • • The MPD’s 3rd Precinct is on fire and has spread across the entire building. With no firefighters on scene... it will BURN TO THE GROUND. Minneapolis is showing us all that the police aren’t untouchable & that if no one else does, they will hold the police accountable for their actions. Burn down all precincts everywhere. also, say it with me: BLACK PEOPLE HAVE EVERY RIGHT TO RIOT, LOOT & PROTEST HOWEVER THEY WANT TO. #MinneapolisUprising #JusticeForGeorgeFloyd #DefundPolice #BLM (en Minneapolis Minn) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAwp-GYhQvT/?igshid=1q3f3voth4vkl
In this eyewitness report, participants in the #MinneapolisUprising explore how a combination of different tactics compelled the police to abandon the Third Precinct.
Police shot tear gas and marking rounds into a crowd of hundreds gathered peacefully at Minneapolis’ 5th police precinct after curfew Saturday night. Protesters swiftly splintered, roving the city in smaller groups that never recovered the same mass. “No fires, no looting!” they chanted as they moved through the minority business corridors of Cedar Riverside and South Phillips, where armed Minneapolis residents guarded their shops. By 2 a.m., the streets were almost entirely deserted. First night without major arson after four days of rioting.
Protest organizers ordered no harassment of journalists. Police arrested and sniped clearly marked photographers with marking rounds, disregarding the law exempting the news media from the curfew, as well as explicit instruction from @GovTimWalz to let them do their jobs.
Police also shot less lethal rounds at residents watching from their porches.
Protesters demanding democracy march from Downtown Minneapolis and Cedar/Riverside onto I-94.646 arrests were made in what is likely the largest mass arrest/citation event in city history.
In support #MinneapolisUprising I'm doing commissions for bust or head shot sketches at $2 OR proof of any amount donation to #MinneapolisFreedomFund or any related charity/fund. All proceeds will go to Minneapolis Freedom Fund. DM if interested.
A few of my favs from @silvykhoucasian’s post. And a few memes. If large companies and corporations, even police forces understand and join the movement. Why can’t others even begin to understand ? . .
