Also recently: “Colorado police violently arrested a 73-year-old woman with dementia after she forgot to pay $14 at Walmart.

Good long read about Minnesota.
"Derek Chauvin, George Floyd, and the conditions in South Minnesota are not exceptional. The outcome of the trial cannot matter. Certainly, not in the way liberals will suggest it does, announcing as they ceaselessly do that this conviction might turn a new page. Black insurrection throws away the book."

Totalitarianism at 38th and Chicago: A Minnesotan lie
Minnesota’s ‘don’t-cha-know’ country has blood on the leaves and death marches in the cracks of the sidewalk.
"Perhaps here we find the true work of abolitionists. To create little paths outside the sight of local authorities. Leading to the local cooperative. The local night meeting. To ensure they are never able to find where our paths are located. These clusters of paths are available to us only by starlight. We emerge at night in spite of complaints from the state. From a far distance. We risk punishment by ganging up. Within this risk of punishment, we have fun anyhow. This is an abolitionist sensibility."
