"The hub of this work is south Minneapolis, last in the world's headlines six years ago as the site where George Floyd was killed by police officers.

Some of those who rose up in the Black Lives Matter protests of that period have clearly reawakened their old networks.

Others note that Minnesota regularly tops measures of social trust: in other words, its residents are among the most likely to place their trust in their neighbor across the road, rather than the leader at the top of the pile."

Sounds like a Street Executable Offense in Trumplandia.

Trump on Mpls: "Do these people really want to have rapists and drug dealers and people from prisons and murderers, do they really want to have them in the community? It's really insurrectionists and agitators and they're paid ... everybody has a beautiful sign with brand new wood. Leather panels."

Speaking of BLM, how are those luxury homes and cars the leaders bilked from donors looking.

"American Jews reclaim German citizenship |

"An increasing number of Jewish Americans with family histories shaped by the Holocaust are applying to restore German citizenship " not necessarily to leave, but to have a safeguard:

the option to move to Germany should conditions in the United States deteriorate further.

Germany allows victims of Nazi persecution and their descendants to reclaim citizenship that was deliberately taken from them. In New York alone, applications have more than doubled in recent years."

Good for them, they will enjoy living in Germany.

Why would these Jews escape to a Pariah nation run by a blood-thirsty fascist?

Talked to my daughter last night, who lives in the Powderhorn neighborhood of Minneapolis, near the Floyd murder site.
In essence, if you're getting your info from Major Media, you barely know a quarter of what's been going on.

I have friends in Minneapolis as well, in that neighborhood.
One whose favorite Donut Shop was recently transformed into a murder scene by the government.
There is a lot of video on Social Media about what's happening.
Far more than you'll see on the nightly news, which could at most give you thirty minutes but probably lasts more like thirty seconds.

I thought the community was pretty clear about that.

They DO NOT want those raping drugging murdering ICEholes in their communities.
