Watch out for the provocateurs - just saw this on FB: [View all]

ALERT:
There is going to be an anti-Musl*m/anti-immigrant rally downtown Minneapolis on Saturday at noon. Domestic hate groups from several states will be attending. It's going to be led by one of the dominant January 6ers. Their plan is to get riled up and march on the Cedar Riverside neighborhood (the epicenter of our Somali community). Local law enforcement is aware of this and plans to try to oppose/contain them. The community leaders in C-R are asking good people to NOT show up because they want the streets in C-R to be empty. This is 100% a move by the hate groups to escalate violence in order for the orange Nero to declare martial law. If there's no one for them to have conflict with, this goal will fail.
PLEASE DO NOT GO DOWNTOWN, TO THE U, OR TO CEDAR RIVERSIDE ON SATURDAY.
Please be careful driving near these areas.
