“As a Black man, if I had misappropriated funds, especially for a program run by a white person for a community in need, I would be in jail,” Marshaan said. “I don’t think there would be a question about it.”

“When $100,000 intended to support at-risk families in Minneapolis disappeared, the betrayal didn’t come from a stranger. The funds were under the care of the Isanti County Sheriff’s Foundation, whose treasurer, Kim Nordenstrom, is accused of misappropriating the grant.”

enormous development in the Cop City RICO case today: the Judge indicated he would be dismissing *at least* the RICO and Arson counts of the indictment, which would eliminate 56 out of 61 people from the indictment. Official answer tomorrow, and it will certainly be appealed.

None of this changes the entire point of the indictment: to ruin 61 people's lives over their opposition to Cop City, and to intimidate countless others from opposing the state. In that regard, they have already done untold harm to the defendants' lives.

The flag is still at half-mast in Minnesota.
