ALPRs and Minneapolis’ Growing Discriminatory Surveillance Dragnet
Automatic License Plate Readers, an extremely invasive form of public surveillance, have been around for decades, but lately they have been becoming more prevalent.

Me and Nate at Valleyfair. There is one employee in sight and literally no other humans.
My auction item is at $350. You have ~21 hours to increase it further. Here is a picture of me and @atarifan2600.bsky.social at Valleyfair! on a rainy day that made every photo look like basicallyeveryone else had been raptured. (Plausible scenario.)

For all the work you’ve done here, I’d happily buy you a set of penzy’s spices of your choice.
Good luck on the sale
The 28th Virginia battle flag is a Confederate battle flag that belonged to the 28th Virginia Infantry Regiment. Captured by the 1st Minnesota Infantry Regiment at the Battle of Gettysburg, the flag was brought to Minnesota and exhibited at the state's capitol for several years before passing into the permanent collection of the Minnesota Historical Society after 1896 where it has remained since.
Happy Confederate Surrender Day from Minnesota where we still have your goddamn flag and we’re not giving it up.

I’m raising rent relief funds for a beloved Minneapolis family in need!
I wholeheartedly vouch for these George Floyd Square neighbors, who owe back rent for a total need of $3000. Can you help?

Get outside. Get to know your neighbors. Bring your gifts. Meet each others’ needs.
35 more people with $50 would pay this rent! 🌻
Ok now that I've primed the tank, I have a 3rd, bigger need. I have $400/2100 paid toward a rent that is due tomorrow.
Anyone wanna chip in or share this to help pay someone's rent?

I wonder if all this extra account noise is contributing to the app being really sluggish from time to time where it hadnt been before. Maybe just me
that’s what I meant! :)
ooof
Good! dammit 😂
You did fucking great
spot on. clear, compassionate, direct. Really really food
talk about meeting the moment 🔥
swung by to hear and support testifiers; it is both incredible what Minneapolis residents have been doing to support their neighbors and we are at a point where the city needs to do something formal--pause evictions.
If you’re in the audience and on camera for the minneapolis city council meeting hearing on eviction moratorium, your facial expressions and reactions are giving me life. 💛
That’s what i see too
wondering the same thing - they are hovering in one pretty small area. like just north of lake east of lyndale ish ?

I read this as “baklava” and you can imagine my curious expression. Also unrelated, now I want baklava.

This surveillance can happen through all sorts of apps, such as video games, news apps, weather trackers, and dating apps.
Prolly something black, or sparkly, or has rainbows on it
chopping wood and carrying water
I hate this so much
Please do this. For our neighbors and for everyone working on rent funds’ sanity
