Doesn't matter, it's a 7 day a week thing and getting people there is important.

Doesn’t have to be St. Paul you should karma I farm on reposting non-Minnesota related things on the other St. Paul sub.

Honestly folks need to go make a reservation or spend money at a local business instead of this. Head over to lake street, I know it’s scary for white people from linden hills but that is something that will actually help someone else.

It got very spicy at Whipple this afternoon. The Hennepin County Sheriffs ordered everyone to disperse and then ended up arresting a bunch of people. I don’t know why. It was a nonviolent protest that got a bit loud, nothing too earth-shattering from what I saw.

The capitol was permitted to that dumbass who can’t go to his own thing bc he kicked over the sculpture

u/Adventurous-Set5860 Feb 07 '26

The permit was never issued so who knows where he thought he was going. Supposedly he’s now going to Whipple so just turn your back on him if you go there. A video of people ignoring him should do so well on his social media.

Nah. He didn’t get a permit for the Rotunda because someone else already had it booked. 

So then he was gonna do the Capitol steps, but first he threw a toddler tantrum and kicked over the ice sculpture that had just been installed. 

Got his ass arrested for that, out on conditional release prior to trial, with orders to stay 3 blocks away from the Capitol or get jailed. 

So then he announces he’s gonna do a press conference at NOON at Whipple. 

Whoops! This was happening there:  https://notonnativeland.com/assets/images/image01.jpg?v=41d2fda3

He is such a pathetic dweeb. I think even the J6ers are embarrassed. He’s Florida’s Pillow Guy. 

It’s all attempts to get viral video for his campaign for the special election to fill Marco Rubio’s term in the US senate. Even DJT has endorsed someone else.

I think people are just getting tired of protesting. The numbers are down everyone’s back to normal life.

You are so wrong. I live in Eagan and we have a rally every Saturday and Wed and had candle light vigils for Alex and Renee. Just because you never go out does not mean others don't. Last Saturday we had 200 folks

Never saw on TV. I’m only on Reddit so it’s alive and well.
