Veteran defensive tackle Calais Campbell could be suiting up for the Miami Dolphins for the final time Sunday against the Cleveland Browns.

According to the Miami Herald, there is a growing expectation Campbell will be waived when the Dolphins are officially eliminated from postseason contention.

The Detroit Lions’ defense could benefit from the addition of another experienced veteran along the defensive line, as they continue their pursuit of their first-ever Super Bowl appearance and win.

As writer Omar Kelly explained, “Campbell and the Dolphins have discussed his release, which would need to happen before next week’s season finale, giving him an opportunity to latch on to a team competing for the Super Bowl. The Detroit Lions and Minnesota Vikings are also expected to be interested, and might put in a waiver claim to strengthen their cause, and prevent a front runner like the Chiefs from adding the defensive lineman who ranks third in active sacks.”

Campbell, 38, has recorded four sacks, 46 tackles, five pass breakups and one forced fumble for the 7-8 Dolphins. He has appeared in two Super Bowls, but is still chasing the elusive Lombardi Trophy.

“My whole career I’ve been close, but no cigar,” said Campbell. “I want that cigar.”

Unfortunately, Detroit still remains lower on the waiver wire than teams that could also benefit from Campbell’s services, including the Ravens.

Nov. 24: South Milwaukee armed robbery

A victim got off a bus and went into a grocery store near Chicago and Blake, a criminal complaint states. When the victim left the store around 6:10 p.m., he said he noticed someone was following him. 

Prosecutors said the suspect – later identified as Moore – pushed the victim down on Columbia Avenue and told him to hand over his phone and wallet. When the victim refused and started to fight back, he said the suspect pulled out a gun and said: “Don’t hit me, or I will shoot you.”

The victim then handed over his wallet and phone, per the complaint, and the suspect also took a gold cross necklace before he ran off. The wallet had $915 cash inside, as well as a debit card, insurance card and the victim’s ID. 

Court filings said surveillance video from an MCTS bus showed both the victim and the suspect on board until both men got off at the same stop. Video from a nearby business showed the victim going into the grocery store and, when the victim left the store, the suspect emerged from a wooded area. The suspect then followed the victim through the parking lot, and a different camera showed the suspect continuing to follow the victim until they were both out of camera view.

Dec. 11: South Milwaukee property damage, theft

A South Milwaukee woman reported a possible break-in shortly after 1 p.m. The criminal complaint states she came home and noticed her doorbell camera had been smashed. She watched video from a different camera that showed a suspect – later identified as Moore – smash the camera.

Later that same day, around 4 p.m., police were called to the area of 10th and Milwaukee. Court filings said two victims said they were doing roof repairs and returned to their work van to find their backpacks, which had their wallets inside, had been stolen.

Video showed the suspect – later identified as Moore – going into the van and walking away with two backpacks. The suspect was wearing similar clothing to the person who smashed the doorbell camera.

Dec. 14: Milwaukee theft

Milwaukee police were called to a bar on Menomonee Street in the Historic Third Ward around 2:25 p.m. Prosecutors said a victim told officers he was sitting outside with his cellphone on the table in front of him when a suspect grabbed it and ran.

The victim got up to chase the suspect – later identified as Moore – and did so for roughly a block, the complaint states, before going back to the bar and activating the tracking device on his phone.

Officers used the tracking information and began to search for the phone and suspect, ultimately spotting the suspect near 1st and Florida, where court filings said the phone had pinged. The suspect began to walk faster once he saw the officer, but the officer did not stop the suspect because he didn’t think the suspect was “close enough to the ping location.”

Prosecutors said the officer kept following the phone’s ping and went to the area of 5th and National, where he saw the same suspect again. This time, the suspect began to jog away, and the officer caught up with the suspect on Washington Street – where the suspect began to run through yards.

Updates on the phone location, per the complaint, “matched the route” that the officer saw the suspect running. Eventually, the officer caught up to and spoke to the suspect, who identified himself as Moore and took four phones out of his pockets – including the one stolen on Menomonee Street. Police also found a gun inside Moore’s backpack; he did not have a concealed carry permit.

Dec. 17: Cudahy theft

According to the complaint, a victim told police he was at a laundromat near Packard and Ramsey when a suspect snatched his cellphone around 10 a.m. He said he yelled for the suspect to give it back, but the suspect ran.

The victim then got into a witness’ car, prosecutors said, and the two drove around the neighborhood to look for the suspect together. Once they spotted the suspect, the victim got out and chased after the suspect on Birchwood Avenue. He kept chasing the suspect into a bank parking lot, where officers arrived.

Court filings said both the victim and witnesses identified the cellphone theft suspect at the scene, and surveillance video from the laundromat corroborated the victim’s statement. Officers recognized the suspect – ultimately identified as Moore – from MCTS surveillance images related to the November armed robbery case out of South Milwaukee.

In custody

Upon his arrest, court filings said Moore was wearing a dark blue jacket with a “distinctive tear” on the front. The tear was visible on the suspect’s jacket in the MCTS video, the doorbell camera damage video and the van theft video. The MCTS video, in which the suspect was unmasked, was the same person who Cudahy police arrested nearly a month later.

In all, Moore is charged with:

• Armed robbery
• Theft of movable property (two counts)
• Misdemeanor theft of movable property
• Misdemeanor criminal damage to property
• Misdemeanor carrying a concealed weapon

Moore made his initial appearance on Dec. 22. Court records show bond was set at $10,000.

Revitalizing Minneapolis Through Art, Culture, and Community Engagement

The Arts & Culture Vibrant Storefronts Initiative is redefining downtown Minneapolis by transforming vacant spaces into thriving hubs of creativity, culture, and innovation. Led by the City of Minneapolis, this initiative subsidizes rent for previously empty storefronts, empowering creative businesses to establish a vibrant presence in the Harmon Place Historic District and beyond. This two-year program supports five exceptional awardees, giving them the opportunity to refine their business models while engaging the public through art.

Each storefront will feature dynamic quarterly programming, turning what were once empty spaces into centers of artistic expression and community connection. By offering support to these creative businesses, the initiative is ensuring that art and culture become integral parts of the fabric of the city. The transformation of these vacant spaces represents the core mission of the initiative: to turn vacancy into vibrancy in Minneapolis.

First Up: Blackbird Revolt – An Abolitionist Design Studio

Creating Designs that Shift Culture and Build Power

Among the five businesses chosen for this initiative is Blackbird Revolt, an abolitionist design studio that strives to create designs that not only reflect culture but challenge and reshape it. Founded in 2016, Blackbird Revolt emerged from the desire to address the ongoing lack of representation and exclusion of diverse voices in mainstream narratives. The studio seeks to create a platform for conscious creatives who want to transform their communities and advance causes of racial justice, liberation, and abolition.

At Blackbird Revolt, design is more than aesthetics; it is a tool for activism and movement work. The studio aims to break down the political and social barriers that trap marginalized communities, using their art to inspire engagement, foster change, and promote collective action. They are committed to co-creating solutions with their community and changing the way people experience and engage with the world around them.

The Meaning Behind the Name

The name Blackbird Revolt is deeply tied to the music of Nina Simone. The iconic song “Blackbird” speaks to the struggles and resilience of Black women, and its lyrics capture the intersectionality that Blackbird Revolt seeks to address. “So why you wanna fly, Blackbird, You ain’t ever gonna fly…,” Nina Simone’s voice echoes the harsh realities faced by those who are marginalized by oppressive systems. At Blackbird Revolt, these experiences of exclusion and oppression are central to their mission.

“We unapologetically center these voices,” says co-founder Terresa Moses, a justice-centered designer and creative director. “Racial justice, abolition, and liberation drive what we do and how we do it.” The team is committed to ensuring their design work reflects a vision of a radically just future. Whether through projects or partnerships, Blackbird Revolt is a powerful force for change in the community.

A Commitment to Community

Art and design have always been intertwined with movements for social change, and Blackbird Revolt sees their work as part of that ongoing legacy. Terresa Moses, co-founder and creative director, is a Black queer woman who has dedicated her life’s work to the liberation of Black and brown people. A professor, illustrator, and community-engaged scholar, Moses centers anti-racism, abolition, Black feminism, and Black liberatory futures in her work. Her designs are grounded in the understanding that art is a tool for resistance, reflection, and progress.

Moses states, “Our work can never be separate from community. We are dedicated to centering community and a collective vision for the future.” This ethos guides everything Blackbird Revolt does. From their designs to their collaborations, community engagement is at the heart of their mission.

The Role of Blackbird Revolt in the Arts & Culture Vibrant Storefronts Initiative

As part of the Arts & Culture Vibrant Storefronts Initiative, Blackbird Revolt will be bringing their vision of justice, culture, and liberation to the Harmon Place Historic District. Their storefront will be more than just a space for creative output—it will be a place where people can gather, engage, and learn. Throughout the two-year program, Blackbird Revolt will host quarterly programming that reflects the core values of racial justice and community empowerment. These programs will give the public an opportunity to experience the transformative power of art in new and meaningful ways.

Blackbird Revolt’s participation in this initiative is a testament to the power of creative businesses to drive change. By revitalizing a vacant storefront, they are not only contributing to the cultural vibrancy of Minneapolis but also amplifying the voices of those who have historically been marginalized. The initiative allows Blackbird Revolt to further their mission while continuing to build power through art and design.

A Vision for the Future

At the heart of Blackbird Revolt’s work is a commitment to creating a radically just future. They believe that art can be a powerful tool for liberation, and they are using their design studio to engage with their community in meaningful ways. By participating in the Arts & Culture Vibrant Storefronts Initiative, Blackbird Revolt will continue to push boundaries, challenge the status quo, and advocate for justice.

As part of the initiative, Blackbird Revolt’s storefront will be a place where people can come together to reflect, create, and grow. It will be a space for art, dialogue, and activism—a space where the community can connect and co-create solutions for a better future.
