For those of you curious - the Nazis downtown are getting absolutely humiliated.
The big anti-Islam protest downtown currently consists of about 8 protesters and hundreds, maybe thousands, of counter protesters. The counter protesters are currently walking/pushing the protesters off of City Hall grounds. True Minnesota hospitality at its best.
Jake Lang [right-winger who organized the event] and a handful of other racists/RW propagandists are surrounded by about 50 cameras and some antifascists chanting him down. A banner the group arrived with has been broken.
Currently has only about 5 supporters, and is being drowned out by counter protesters
The group led by Jake Lang tried to get inside Minneapolis City Hall, but the building is closed, as it is every Saturday.

So today and all week, Minneapolis has been on edge because some J6 Nazi type staged a Saturday hate rally downtown. They were going to “march” into a neighborhood with a large East African population, but…well, things didn’t exactly go according to their plan.
I haven’t been posting a lot about it today, because I wanted to keep the response local. But I’ve been gathering reports from the ground and folks watching live video, and I think we’ve reached the point where I can share some choice excerpts.

In Japan, companies have heeded the call and committed to tens of millions of dollars in contributions.
In Singapore, the American ambassador pressed for donations before a room full of executives at a dinner at one of the city-state’s most expensive hotels.

There's a lot of chatter here in Minneapolis about a far-right group staging a hate rally / “march” / attack on Saturday — and a lot of confusion about what the targeted community is asking in response.
If you want to rush in and play hero, STOP.
If you heard “don't go downtown, don't do anything,” also STOP.
The targeted community has a specific and nuanced request for us all. The information here is the best summary I've heard. Please take a moment to read.
