Today, disgraced border commander Gregory Bovino was sued by the family of Renee Good. On the day Good was killed, he showed up within a hour to stand in front of cameras. While calling himself "Mean Green", he claims he showed up so others didn't "contaminate a crime scene".

sometimes trains are built for the future not for today... not to suggest we're just like NYC but building transit for the future often means you build it where theres substantial opportunities for growth, and thats exactly what we have here now we need to get started on the uptown line!

Prior to MPD murdering George Floyd, I was already years into a photo project covering the new train line. Believe me when I say I wish I hadn't been... derailed. Tomorrow, Metro Transit will announce the opening date for the SWLRT at this location, now the Louisiana Ave Green Line Station.

Alex Pretti was shot and killed 8 months ago today after being disarmed by federal agents. The agents then spent the next few hours denying the BCA and MPD access to the scene while shooting at protesters. No one has been held responsible in the killing. chaddavis.photography/sets/ice-in-...

At the Alex Pretti Memorial: Anonymous Kid says "Keep Fighting Minnesotans!" and a 1937 photo of Madrid "MINNESOTA WILL BE THE TOMB OF FASCISM". Minneapolis, September 2026

Dear Minnesota,
I know your probably going through a lot right
now... And I just wanted to say that this is
NOT normal, and your probably also really
scared, but I don't think anyone is NOT
afraid right now. But I believe that we
can work together to get ICE out of MN!
If we keep fighting against them, I believe
we can do it, if we ALL try, together.
KEEP Fighting
Minnesotans!! ♥
We got this!
– Anonymous Kid ♥

The image is from a famous photo of Madrid in 1937 after the city had withstood an attack by Franco’s forces. The citizens had been helped by the arrival of some units of the International Brigades many of whom were Americans. These Americans were later demonized during the McCarthy era for being premature anti-fascists.
We have translated some of the wording of the banner. NO PASARAN translates literally as THEY SHALL NOT PASS. The bottom writing on the banner says that MADRID WILL BE TOMB OF FASCISM. We used a little poetic license to hope that MINNESOTA WILL BE THE TOMB OF FASCISM.
We have to keep up the fight for the long-term. We can’t get tired. When we heard the Becca Good, the widow of Renee Good say, “They had guns we had whistles...” It reminded us of what was said after democracy lost the Spanish Civil War. “We had better music, but they had better guns and more of them.”
We can’t outshoot them and we shouldn’t try but we can outsmart them.

there was a time when the mar-ten ramp on marquette ave was easily one of if not the worst parking ramp in the city.... it's been years since i've parked there, but it was never as bad as the seven points mall ramp is right now
