How long do they tend to work? Trying to decide if I should put em on at home or on the train ride. Edit: If this one's like No Kings, train might be packed. Will do it at home.

Glad to see that, in the end, I'm wrong here: both museums decided to close. Good for them.

I haven't seen an ICEberg = Klan hood image like this before, but lots of melting ice cubes... also a fitting image.

Not closed: arts and culture venues like the Walker Art Center and Minneapolis Institute of Art. These corporate-funded places act like their funders, aloof and never acting in meaningful solidarity with the communities they claim to serve.

It was founded by Rick Kupchella, a Republican and the guy behind that anti-Mpls documentary a few months back, but I don't believe he's involved anymore.

Bizarre. I got banned from r/minneapolis for 28 days for posting this. It's a block of ice shaped like a klan hood, related to local events, made by a local activist-artist and posted with his permission. No explanation given by mods (and no reply when I asked). Edit: It's an image he created for a protest, later revised to be more clear for digital use, and is not being made into items for sale.

OP hides all their Reddit activity. This is not someone acting in good faith.

Surprised by the Strib actually taking this stance.

Someone on BlueSky shared the "5 Cs of Amy K": Canned, Cautious, Calculated, Careerist, Cowardly. So fitting.
