Govt policies of Bible verses in public schools is the equivalent of thoughts and prayers. We need fully funded public schools - not policed words. Continuous budget cuts increases dropout rates. On average, a dropout lives nine fewer years than a graduate.

In Jonathan Metzl’s “Dying of Whiteness” one interaction was with a man who he asked what guns meant to him. The man’s response was freedom, liberty, and patriotism. Are we free yet? If not, what number will indicate that we are?

I’m so sad to share that yesterday was my last day at Scientific American. It was an honor to work alongside my incredible colleagues and to speak with researchers across the sciences. If you’re looking to hire staff or freelance, please consider me and my other laid off coworkers (🧵)

And the report found Israeli security forces have used sexual violence against children, who’ve been arrested and subjected to torture and other severe forms of mistreatment in Israeli prisons.

also not lost on me that as democratic socialists are winning some elections, a new red scare targeting anarchists, antifascists, and their allies is digging in hard, and today handed down 30, 50, and 100 year prison sentences to activists and organizers

I grew up in a small town. The Bookmobile is a core summer memory of my childhood. I’ve loved books ever since.

Israel tells people to flee to 'safety' Then bombs the 'safe' areas.

Anti-Prime Day starts…NOW! 🥳 Today through 6/26, enjoy free standard shipping site-wide, all while supporting local, independent bookstores.

A reminder on Prime Day to continue boycotting Amazon today and every day.

Maya Moore appreciation post. #wnba30

US Sisters: I know we have A LOT going on, but we must resist these oppressive systems held in place by our govt. If for no other reason than for our sisters in Afghanistan, Gaza, Lebanon, the Congo and so on. Resist!

Oof. I hope the Wings get to experience a fully healthy Alanna yet this season. She can take a lot of pressure off the backcourt. #wnba30 #wings

Chris Demarco is giving Bill Laimbeer - with less beer and more William. #wnba #wnba30 #liberty

A mild resistance I’m starting is naming the W arenas after prominent players. I appreciate large corps for building them, but it’s really our $ that did it so I’d rather honor players. Anyway, tomorrow I’m going to the Maya Moore Center to watch the Lynx play the Mystics. #wnba #wnba30 #golynx

End the genocides!🇵🇸🇱🇧

Aside from centering the care of children and the vulnerable, humanity is not meant to be a hierarchy. I repeat: Humanity is not meant to be a hierarchy. Humanity is not meant to be a hierarchy. Humanity is not meant to be a hierarchy.

Well said, Billy 👏🏼 #BookSky

We can hypothesize all we want about what our govt will do. It will do whatever the wealth hoarding fiends want (at our expense of course).

We may never be able to truly know a person, and people can change, but I wonder how many children would be spared from harm if we knew our neighbors even just a little.

A world-class education is now completely free — MIT has opened its entire vault of more than 2,500 courses to the public online. source: Massachusetts Institute of Technology. (2026). About Us: MIT OpenCourseWare. MIT Open Learning. 😊

We are witnessing the full reveal that all pipelines worldwide lead to the alt-right. No matter the label; “religion,” “rights,” “reform,” etc., they are a farce at their core and lead to a small group of wealth hoarding abusive white men who live their lives of heaven on earth at our expense.

Hey Minnesota, when are we protesting en masse at the large capacity Appleton, MN ICE concentration camp? #abolishICE #resist

Huh, I swear that during free agency I read that Didi Richards made a roster this year. No? #wnba #wnba30

Although the Sun are struggling, it’s great to see Diamond M in a starting spot again and getting mega minutes. She and Dorka J kept the pulse of the Lynx going when they were on life support in 2023. They both made the All-Rookie Team. #wnba #wnba30

Maybe our country is too large to take to the streets day after day, but we could take turns city by city or state by state!?! So many reasons to. 73% is A LOT of people. Protest your pick: war, ICE, camps, cost of living, housing insecurity, climate crisis, data centers, racist policies, genocīdes…

Hey Minnesota, hey! www.dallasobserver.com/news/white-n...

I would pay to stream Public Service Media featuring ads for non-subsidized products and mom ‘n pop or independently owned shops. I’m no longer interested in State Media at the fed or state level.

Lynx win! 💙💚 The Wings struggled to make shots but that had a lot to do with the Lynx defense. McBride guarded Bueckers so well and Miles did the same on Fudd. Wow. Plus the Lynx shot great. #golynx #wnba #wnba30

Of the 267 million adults in the US, there have got to be folks age 35+, 30+, and 25+ that would refuse foreign PAC money if they were a presidential, senatorial, or representative candidate. There have got to be candidates that want to serve the people and be a steward of the earth, right?

Can anyone weigh in on the Minnesota fraud debacle? I’ve lost trust in the federal govt and nearly all in MN state govt so I’ve no idea how to suss out the fed committee claims of $9B in fraud allowed by MN govt, nor the MN claims they’re doing all they can and have prosecuted 300+ people. Gah!

If our country as we know it collapses, I’d first want to do a W tour. A courtside seat to watch my home team and then six games in arenas across the country seeing as many teams as possible - Minnie, then OR or WA, CA - LA or SF, NV or AZ, TX or GA, NY or DC, and CT or ON. #wnba #wnba30

With every loss of life and destruction of communities in the Middle East, I see my tax dollars causing it. We don’t have to live this way.

Many eyes on Olivia Miles for good reason, but aside from Natasha Howard, don’t sleep on Nia Coffey! She’s doing so many little things to impact the team including disruptive defense and great court vision. Welcome home Nia! #golynx #wnba

I read Gladwell’s “Tipping Point” decades ago. Since then I’ve often thought about the ideas that every little thing matters in the ripple effect of positive change, and that when humans are made to live without sanctity of life for lengths of time, life often holds little value - theirs or others.

Community over colonization. Creativity over conformity. Diplomacy over destruction. Humanity over hierarchy. Intelligence over ignorance. People over profit. Planet over plunder.

Hey Minnesota, when and where is the 🚫 lCE rally to close the camps and prevent new ones? The hierarchy of people is not the way forward.

Since October, when Israel agreed, on paper, to a U.S.-brokered ceasefire with Hamas, it has killed nearly 950 Palestinians in near-constant attacks on Gaza. Nearly 3,000 others have been wounded.

Can we have a national NO CAMPS rally?

Boycotting Amazon is frustrating right now. I’ve waited d e c a d e s for W games to get media coverage. I really want to see these games in real time. Ugh. 😒 😑 😩 Unfettered capitalism is such 🗑️. #wnba

Sure, young kids should read books at their “reading level,” but always, always let them select choice books too. Reading for enjoyment goes a long way toward lifelong reading.

If you haven’t asked yourself why Hamas and Hezbollah were formed and looked at the big picture, you probably haven’t asked yourself who benefits most from their resistance either. Who’s funding who?

The #1 buyers of children around the world are USA Christian white men. Suburbanites with families and 100K jobs. Only 7.6% are held accountable. We fail children daily. We don’t have to live this way.

The science is brutally clear: • 1 million species at risk of extinction • 70% of wildlife populations lost in 50 years • 2024 was the hottest year on record (again) This is not a “future problem.” This is a now problem created by now choices. #RespectNature

We are not experiencing a flaw in the system. This IS the USA system. Our govt and military are the mask of the wealth hoarders orchestrating every single one of their actions.

Ben is great, but AIPAC Amy is NOT the answer for Minnesota.

If we carry generational trauma and live in a trauma-inducing society, just think of the amount heaped onto us and then to our kids. We don’t have to live this way. Processing trauma is possible, healing is possible. Stepping outside these oppressive systems is possible - uncomfortable but possible.

I’m really enjoying watching vet bench players get starting spots on their new teams. 🤍🧡 #wnba

A temporary restraining order has halted work on a data center for Google in Pine Island, about 18 miles north of Rochester, Minnesota. www.startribune.com/minnesota-da...

Today, there's lots of reminders that ICE is still out there killing people, in and out of concentration camps. We are still allowing concentration camps. WHY THE HELL ARE WE ALLOWING CONCENTRATION CAMPS EVERYWHERE?
