Numerous “patriots” from Minnesota followed incitement from President Donald Trump and took part in the violent storming of the U.S. Capitol in Washington D.C. on January 6.
Many January 6 participants featured here have been present at most of the weekly Hold the Line protests in Saint Paul, and many were seen at Back the Blue protests throughout the summer of 2020 and re-open protests in April 2020.

#Ohio: In an attempt to outlaw all abortions, House Bill 480 was introduced on November 2, 2021 to protect "unborn persons," making it the most extreme bill to move through a state's legislature in the recent string of bans popping up across the country.
Other laws like Ohio’s new “Born-Alive Infant Protection Act” are also on the rise to further restrict #reproductiverights and spread “pro-life” ideologies.
On the other side of the aisle, a group of clinic escorts in Toledo work to protect patients and the freedom to access healthcare.

Ruby Montoya is doing whatever she can to lighten her punishment after publicly admitting to a string of arson and sabotage attacks against the Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL) in 2017, including potentially cooperating with the FBI. unicornriot.ninja/2021/ruby-mont…
According to a recent article in The Economist, “Montoya agreed to cooperate with the FBI” in fall 2020. During such FBI debriefs, agents typically attempt to solicit information on other activists and pressure co-defendants to testify against each other.
Since summer 2021, Montoya’s lawyer, Daphne Silverman, has repeatedly filed motions on her behalf asking the court to allow her to file documents under seal.

A practice typically avoided by those facing political charges in an effort to be transparent.

Since spring 2020, the #Winnemucca Indian Colony, mostly comprised of Paiute and Shoshone elders, has been under threat of eviction. The tribal council passed a motion and hired contractors to spur “economic development.”

The land the colony is on was granted to displaced Indigenous people by federal executive order in 1917. The full allotment is 340 acres.
In November, Elisa Dick got an unexpected call at work. Her housemate told her to get home quickly because men with front end loaders were preparing to level her home. “When I got here, they were here with the machines and they told me I had 10 minutes to get all of my things.”

Nine of the jurors are white, two are Asian, & one is Black. 6 are women, 6 are men. 🧵 Image
