The reason this Kettling event is unconstitutional is because it was actively happening as the orders to disperse were given. For a kettle to be legal, there must be an opportunity to disperse. If you are being Kettled prior to the final order, the event is unconstitutional. #forward

Actions and marches are planned many places on Friday in Solidarity with this call from #1492LandBackLane and Six Nations Land Defenders. Here's a quick rundown of the background of this specific struggle right now: https://twitter.com/submedia/status/1313876413938892801

We just reached 2000 followers! We appreciate the support from comrades! ❤️ The only thing that would be better is if you all were a part of this support team. check out t.me/scannertraining to learn how to listen to scanners and report effectively for an audience on the ground.

#Admin Updated count I have is 51 arrested during the kettling event. Some were innocent bystanders who were just passing by. Some were photographers/press. 2 were NLG legal observers.

#Admin I understand the feelings people have right now with fear over what happened last night. But this is nothing new. We have seen this type of thing happen in Minneapolis and other communities. We know the cops play dirty. For those who are uncomfortable, I hear you. This is not how police should be acting. They shouldn't be arresting people before the final warning like what happened. Lawyers providing legal services shouldn't be arrested. Photographers are free press no matter what organization they are with. But this doesn't stop here. We must work with our friends and families, and get them in the streets. We learned some new strategies that cops will use against us with fake organizers. So now we know how to respond. Less organizers. More self reliance. Less authority. More decentralized voices. More creativity. More diversity of tactics. and more communications. We have a public relay all of you are welcome to use. Please send any tips to @RUSTContactBot

Lets build groups in affinity with each other. Lets scout, lets listen on scanners. Lets live stream. Lets communicate and build up our cop watch together. Check out t.me/scannertraining if this interests you. We don't stop because the police play dirty.

As a reminder the only people who may legally watch the polls are volunteer poll workers. Voting should be private and folks should not be harassed on their way to do so. #forward http://strib.mn/3lBamop

Very important as we recently had the case of city hired organizers give up our comrades, it is important we dont act in a way that creates a culture of fear and accusations. Instead, use this moment to continue decentralizing and better preparing our comrades with good opsec. Organize with people you trust. Create decentralized online resources and take some of our power away too. We have 2100 followers. Some of you are likely more connected and more resourceful than we are. Making your own decentralized team from us is really important.

No Badjacketing - The State Wants to Kill Us, Let's Not Cooperate
Twin Cities IWW General Defense Committee

"BADJACKETING: creating suspicion, by spreading rumors or unsubstantiated accusations, that people are undercovers, infiltrators, snitches, or cooperators. Sometimes this is done out of fear and paranoia. But normally, those who ‘lay jackets’ on others want to consolidate their control over a movement and feel threatened in their authority. It’s a favorite tactic of the State in destroying movements of liberation."

Getting 51 people arrested for shouting at a police station is not stopping violence. #forward
