The building connected to MN Chippewa Tribe office went up in flames, collapsed ceiling. Reports of fire jumping to MCT bldg. HIGHLY toxic fumes. Mask up, check on your people. Dakota archives are in the bldg. Damage is huge but unknown.

I’m so tired. Taking the night to flop and recoup, but keep your eyes peeled for a dedicated account to share out calls for care related to the MN Chippewa Tribe folks.

I will be at the MAIC powwow no later than 3 if folks want to come and help make care plans. I’m tall with blue hair, in a camo print and orange ribbon skirt

gonna need everyone to pivot away from the dopamine-chasing cycle of shitting on our local villain & start channeling that energy into care of SOVEREIGN NATIONS that are currently most impacted. I don’t care to spend energy on assessing who is the most wrong, I NEED to have my people taken care of.

There will be an understandable urge to assign the problem to one person, whether that be the mayor or someone who may have started the fire or building owners who had too much flammable shit stored haphazardly. But it doesn’t matter. MANY things led to this massive loss. MANY things are true.

In the coming days, be prepared to combat narratives villainizing our Indigenous, Somali, and unhoused communities. I am *worried* of how folks in power may utilize this to create a scapegoat and/or raise tensions in an already fraught neighborhood + community struggle.

This is the MN CHIPPEWA TRIBE OFFICE. Other sovereign and community care entities are housed here. Elder care. Childcare. Historical records. Language keeping records. And unfortunately, a not insignificant amount of cash to do all of the above.

The toxic fumes from the main fire alone are going to have MASSIVE health impacts we cannot yet begin to predict, and much of that original fire could have been prevented if our immigrant neighbors and small biz were adequately supported. It grew bc of lack of infrastructure ACROSS THE BOARD.

Leaving the site rn before *i* adrenaline crash. There will be a LOT more help needed to fill in care gaps while what’s about to be a huge legal mess unfolds.

Getting word that MFD couldn’t get water out of fire hydrants in the back of bldg, and had to circulate out trucks with water tanks. This is HEINOUS neglect and city mismanagement. A fire roared thru and spread bc of LACK OF WATER.

My nervous system is shot, but there’s no other option for me than going to make sure I can get folks to urgent care who need to go and need an advocate there (I’m scary good at medical systems help). My Venmo is AriEver (pfp is power rangers blue background), $ will go to direct OTG care

White supremacist "Jake" Lang has had his charges dropped by Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty, who stated the city could still bring misdemeanor charges against him. Lang was jailed on probable cause riot charge. The protester dressed as Spider-Man, however, is currently facing charges.

My name is Christin Crabtree, and I'm running for Minneapolis School Board - At Large. There are so many important ways to plug in right now, but if you're looking for one that's about building towards the flourishing schools and city we all deserve, I'd love your support.

This poll confirms what community has been telling me for months. That people don’t want this and that data centers are extremely unpopular. Only 27% of Minnesotans support new data center construction in their area. 60% oppose, including 38% “strongly” opposing. 1/ kstp.com/kstp-news/to...

I was raised in greater MN/Duluth area til my late teens, and have been around Mpls since. I genuinely pride myself on my sense of direction and comfort in navigating around… but I still can only really give landmark directions to my bonus parent’s house out in the boonies.

one thing that’s dying out in the next generation or so is knowing roads. my parents will ask me shit like “how’d you get there? 178? 232?” buddy i went where the computer told me.

I cannot make this stuff up - but it’s genuinely quicker for me to drive to a town called “Twig” than it would be to get to their house.

‘Polarization’ has become the master concept for diagnosing our current democratic crisis. But this is not polarization. It is the radicalization of the political right. By misdiagnosing it, we risk becoming complicit in the crisis. 🧵 Just out in Perspectives on Politics doi.org/10.1017/S153...

Hypervisibility is a tool, not the default. I HOPE yall don’t explicitly know *everything* that is happening in your community to keep yall safe.
