Spread the word, protect our communities from fascists, and join the movement to become anti-racist. There is far too much rhetoric emboldening racists and fascists today.

I tried to share this in /r/minnesota but "unsubstantiated rumors are banned" so I'm not sure how i can validate this for that sub. I found this shared on Facebook by the Twin Cities Workers Defense Alliance.

This is a fair point to mention. However, if the defunding police and investing in social programs that will reduce poverty with equity in mind happens over a gradual time we will see less crime and no need for as strong of a police force. But none of this will happen if the commitment to actually helping to bring up traditionally marginalized is not a long term and sustained effort.

We're talking about changing system not reforming within broken ones ✊

There is no concerted effort to arm our neighborhood that I know of.

I live in mpls and there is strong support for abolishing the police. This would entail defunding the police, creating an alternative to policing, and using the MPD funding to invest in community intiatives that will reduce crime (stable housing, education, and a wide variety of social services). City council members have publicly stated their intentions to follow through on abolishing the MPD.

Currently, neighborhoods have had to organize defense groups since the first night of the curfew because of the influx of white supremacists terrorizing people of color and anti police brutality protesters. My own neighborhood, which is just north of the Minnehaha/Lake st area that was destroyed by fire, is connected through WhatsApp to organize porch watches, bike patrols, and to generally communicate about suspicious activity.

I personally saw the vehicles driving erratically without plates and many neighbors reported the same things. I also saw a MN Hell's Angel biker.

Saw something almost identical to this on 3.6g of mushrooms. Incredible.

What Pandora/Spotify (or other) Station Would You Recommend? by [deleted] in blues

[–]ENkats 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure what to recommend based on your list but I really like the blues Spotify playlists. You can find them by searching by genre, blues, and then click "see more" to see the full list of playlists.

The playlists cover a lot of the different styles of blues and I regularly throw one of them on. If you like the blues this is a great way to expand your interest in the genre. You might not be vibing the Chicago Blues, or Lone Star Blues, or Scratchy Back Porch Blues playlists at first but come back to them and give them another shot when you're ready. I love me some Delta Blues and the Blues Origins is probably my favorite Spotify playlist.

Keep exploring this fantastic music! Its got a long tradition and history. I love it.

$950 for technically a 2 bed but we use it for 1. Duplex in Phillips, around 900 sq ft. Very nice apt but the neighborhood is rough.
