the Twin Cities IMC is working better than the Colorado site because they have the news ticker and better photo uploading.


It looks like the police are just pre-emptively raiding a list of spaces and houses already by Saturday morning, as I type this.
I dunno... I think the idea of announcing ahead of time that the plan is to put barricades in the street could have allowed police to get warrants to look for any items they could claim would be tools for this. Of course, with a $50 million budget, the police would pretty much do it anyway. I just wanted to say that I didn't really like this tactic of saying that the plan is to obstruct and make barricades, and stating this so far in advance. It would be wiser to have a general framework of locations with no tactics announced.

the fact that the long haul infoshop was raided AS the dnc was winding down and before the rnc is indicative of what exactly is going on here. surveillance and raids will start hitting more and more groups on the left. we must be united to thwart their effort to debase our movements.
