I don’t think I’m going to be online much tonight but I’ll be here some so I’m starting another thread to tweet news out of Minneapolis. Looking like it’s going to be another long night.

Last night’s long and windy thread here.

More detailed threads here:

There will be a larger police presence in Minneapolis tonight but no curfew and no National Guard.

It’s currently 9:10pm CDT in Minneapolis and it’s 91F. 😬

I don’t think I’ll be listening to the police scanner tonight. If you'd like to listen go here:

Is this a new form of vandalism I’ve missed or is this a Minnesota thing? 🤔🧀

Always look for the follow-up when you see weird news.

Update on the cheese defilement:

It’s called “getting cheesed”. 😂🧀

Just realized I didn’t paste the top of last night’s thread upthread but some random tweet in the middle.

Things seem calm in Minneapolis so far tonight but things didn’t get bad after midnight last night.
Some accounts are only going to show you the mayhem. This is also #Minneapolis tonight.

Welp, MPD just declared an unlawful assembly and issued a dispersal order. Crowd is angry.

Protesters are on the march.

More dumpster fires at the intersection of W. Lake St. & Hennepin Ave. #Minneapolis

Dr. Kristi White, psychologist at Hennepin Healthcare:

"Aggression tends to increase, violence tends to increase, and impulsivity tends to increase during hotter temperatures, and hotter weather”.

Current time in Minneapolis: 1:35am CDT. Temp: 84F

Some of the indie journalists who were out in Minneapolis called it a night around an hour ago. As far as I can tell, the few local mainstream journos who were out there left well before that. Although it’s possible they’re out there collecting photos and videos and not posting.
Oof. There was a report of a man shot near the Lake St. Target in Minneapolis. Unclear what happened prior. Not seeing reports of looting there tonight. Watched video — he was unresponsive. Not going to share. 😔

1. One of the weirder forms of appropriation that seems only possible in the Internet age is non-black people of color who appropriate black trauma as their own pain and exploit it to give themselves imaginary authority over whites.
2. All peoples have a history of trauma, sometimes at the hands of other racial, ethnic, and religious groups but frequently at the hands of people of our own race, co-ethnics and co-religionists.
3. I often wonder if people who do this just don't know their own histories—or maybe don't want to know—or if they cynically appropriate other people's pain/power because it's trendy. 🤔

Just tuned in to the Minneapolis/St. Paul police dispatch scanner.

- Helicopter launched.
- Looters in a CVS. REACT team going in to clear.

I’ve been doing a mix of adding to this thread I started earlier today and retweeting tweets. The earlier thread was meant to be a 2nd update thread so I don’t want to clutter it with news about the unrest tonight.

Not sure how long I’m going to stay up but I’ll add tweets about tonight’s unrest in Minneapolis here.

I’m so sorry for those of you who live in the region. ☹️ Stay safe.

1. My first Twin Cities (Minneapolis & St. Paul) update thread has gotten to long so I'm starting a new thread.

2. Earlier today the city of Minneapolis began to try to reoopen George Floyd Square, the intersection of 38th St. and Chicago Ave. where George Floyd was killed by an MPD police officer last year.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Fl…

3. Communication has been lacking.

As of 4/22/21 there was no publicly announced timeline for reopening.

1. When I wrote about something controversial and say things that other people aren’t saying, the most common response I get is “You missed the most important thing! Why aren’t you saying what everyone else is saying?!?”

Uhh, because the point is that I’m not interested ...
2. … in saying what everyone else is saying? 🤷🏻‍♀️

I don’t need to be the 5,421st person saying that violent people shouldn’t be allowed to silence journalists. If you need to read that take to reaffirm yourself, you can read someone else’s tweets.
3. Chasing a story to what you believe to be your eventual death is not something that the public should expect of any journalist or content creator. I didn’t see anyone saying this last night so I decided to.

1. Extremely disturbed to see the outcome of the latest violent attack against conservative journalist and pundit Andy Ngo but also disturbed to see all the people encouraging his continued thrill-seeking behavior.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andy_Ngo

2. I hope Ngo didn’t sustain permanent damage from the May 28th attack and it would be nice to think that his assailants will all be arrested and brought to justice but per his thread so far only one arrest has been made.
3. As I noted after the June 2019 attack against Ngo, this attack was predictable.

But if you’re looking for a thread lauding him, this is not the thread you want.

1. The people who are misreading my Naomi Osaka thread and putting words in my mouth or assuming I don’t have any standing to speak about anything Osaka-related because I admitted to not following tennis/sports are revealing more about themselves than me.

2. Tweeting about controversial topics is sometimes like a Rorschach test.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rorschach…
3. Some people aren’t able to fathom what you’re talking about because it’s filtered through their own bias and they assume that because you sound like you’re saying X that you are uninformed, stupid, and lazy.
