Minneapolis Spring @minneapolis-spring.bsky.social · 08/02/2026Ridiculously, the police showed up in riot gear with 3 dumpster trucks and closed off all entrances to the block - after protestors had already cleared the street and left for the night.

Minneapolis Spring @minneapolis-spring.bsky.social · 08/02/2026The blockade received enormous support from cars driving by and visitors attending the vigil nearby in Powderhorn Park.
