There is something odd happening with reporting of crime in Minneapolis these days. First, almost every reporter relays MPD’s statements as fact, even as they have all seen as recently as in their original recounting of Floyd’s murder, that MPD has a problem with the truth.

“Identity politics” is the pejorative term used by the right to describe any assertion of rights by marginalized groups—that a left publication like Jacobin would use it shows just how successful the right and white supremacists have been at dividing us.

Saint Paul has had encampments go up and go down. I’ve seen this & wondered why we haven’t had scenes like this. Turns out, the mayor’s office has taken charge, gotten folks housed, and encampments have gone down with police at a distance. The Deputy Mayor has even been present.
We can’t arrest our way out of this affordable housing crisis. What if we spent money on housing + services for unsheltered folks instead of police?
