Man, if only Minnesota had a professional basketball team that won the championships four times in the past 7 seasons
Close is not close enough. Vikings fall one game short, meaning the count is up to 97 combined seasons since 1991 without a Minnesota NFL/MLB/NBA/NHL team reaching a final.

😍😍😍 the beauty of
@MNFreedomFund
is that after they pay bail, it gets returned to them after the trial and reinvested to pay someone else’s bail. This is $20M that will give and give and give 😍😍😍
Some happier news:
@MNFreedomFund
has announced they raised $25 MILLION in donations. Minneapolis may never see cash bail again.

@Jacob_Frey
found an org to provide cover for his decision. also, if this was a "community-led reconnection process" ... wouldn't the community NOT be surprised or unaware of the plans for this morning?
Sarah McKenzie w/City of Minneapolis called this morning’s actions around George Floyd Square a community led reconnection process led by the Agape Movement.
She says city employees were there to support the effort and remove the barricades while taking care of memorial.
