Mo(u)rning Minneapolis.

Jobi and I are headed back out this morning to document the state of things. There’s so much to process.

We stopped for caffeine at the Speedway at 22nd and Lyndale and it’s closed as it was broken into and they’re waiting for a police response.

Then we went to Holiday on Franklin and that one was also broken into.

First sights.

Y’all. There are a lot of community folks out here sitting in their cars. Riot cops still dressed and ready. They clearly can tell a crowd is gathering.

Messages.

Bullseye. | ACAB.

It’s hard to convey just how much more shocking it is in person than on a livestream.

Fire department is spraying water finally.

Auto Zone.

If you have asthma, other respiratory problems, or, you know, COVID I don’t recommend coming down here. The air is bad.

More fires.

There’s ash flying in the air. The sky is very smoky. And it smells like....chemicals mostly.

We haven’t slept or eaten yet so we’re headed back home.
