I LOVE my Somali neighbors, they're amazing people. I was so glad to see SO many of my neighbors who are new arrivals out at the protests yesterday. It was EVERYONE out there, from new arrivals to native americans....EVERYONE.


It was my first time going to the site where it happened, and I was really glad people were being super respectful there. I couldn't even keep chanting because I was too choked up. I'm so glad to see so many people rising up, and I know that in Minneapolis, with our large activist community and our longstanding tradition of protesting, we're not going to stand down.

From the labor movement to all of the various movements to protect our natural lands, to the uprising against police brutality, Minnesotans are a hardy stock. We may be nice, but push us and we push back, HARD.
