Join us at the MSP airport on Monday to tell our airport authority: no funding for Delta's new luxury lounge until Delta's leadership meets with the community. Details: linktr.ee/mn50501

I think there are two key takeaways for Americans from Peter Magyar’s ouster of Orbán: 1. We must rally overwhelmingly behind the 2028 Dem nominee 2. We have to be ready to send people to prison if we win My latest for @liberalcurrents.com www.liberalcurrents.com/two-lessons-...

We’re excited to join May Day Strong, labor groups, and other allies to flex our economic power in a massive day of economic disruption on May 1. There are many ways you can take action, from refusing to shop, to walking out of work, to attending a demonstration: www.mobilize.us/mayday/?utm_...

Clarence Thomas ruled in favor of Citizens United. Harlan Crow's political contributions then went up 862%. Then we later find out Thomas let Crow take him on lavish trips, buy his mom's house, and help fund his wife's conservative nonprofit. But go on about how "progressivism" is a problem...

Per the Speech & Debate Clause, Senator Wyden, Rep Massie & literally any congressperson could leak the “secret interpretation of surveillance law” without fear of prosecution. I get not wanting to test it under Trump, but you have the ability to leak it if it’s that bad. Do your duty, Senator.

In January, MPD internal records show that show Priority 1 domestic abuse calls (categorized as Dabuse) in Minneapolis waited 30–88 minutes for a response. Priority 1 means immediate threat to life or safety—calls that are supposed to receive the fastest possible response.

‼️Emmy nominated: HEIST documents DOGE’s systematic dismantling of our federal agencies and their staff. The callous destruction of basic services in medicine, disaster aid, financial regulation & civil rights saved nothing. It took 249 yrs to build modern America but only 100 days to destroy it.

Fluoride in drinking water has no effect on IQ or brain function, a long-term study shows. The new research is the first to measure community water fluoridation exposure during childhood and any potential impact on cognition up to age 80. The results contradict RFK Jr. statements.

Plus, Josh Martin and I laugh out loud at the stupidity of the Minneapolis Charter Commission. One commissioner suggested that the confirmation process for mayoral appointees isn't necessary for accountability, because council members can just invite department heads to hang out in their wards.

This is dope.

Thousands of workers are threatening to strike at the Los Angeles World Cup stadium. The SoFi Stadium plans to host two of the three US Men's World Cup matches, but now 2,000 cooks, servers, bartenders and more may strike. Their main issue? ICE being present at the World Cup.

I wrote and posted this to Instagram a couple of days ago and it became my most-read poem ever. I’m honored I get to feel big feelings alongside you all. I’m posting it here too and want to use this space more consistently. Hello friends ❤️

Every person who cares one iota about the environment needs to rage loudly over this. It will set us back a century. Demand from your Reps & Senators they stop this. It affects many GOP strongholds throughout the entire US. Also check out this site listing companies supporting Forest Service or not.

Tell everyone: Your vote is your voice and right now the world needs to hear you. Drag your neighbor to the polls. Text your friend the polling location. Post this in your group chat. Do whatever it takes to get everyone you know to show up. Democracy only works when we do. Let's vote.

In a new short documentary, Zeteo returned to the Twin Cities to see how Operation Metro Surge is still affecting Minnesotans. Watch the full film: zeteo.com/p/donald-tru...

ICE hunted men outside a Rancho Cucamonga courthouse — twice in one day. A photographer watched. Protesters blew whistles and screamed for answers. DHS stayed silent. Trump wants your eyes on war. Don’t let them move. Your neighbors are being taken. Stay locked in. They need us.

We're sharing this from our friends at CMU. Come out and learn more about this bipartisan effort.

Happy Confederate Surrender Day from Minnesota where we still have your goddamn flag and we’re not giving it up. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/28th_Vi...

After almost twenty years on the platform, EFF is logging off of X. This isn’t a decision we made lightly, but it might be overdue. 🧵 (1/5) www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

INBOX: Sen. Blumenthal sent a letter to Polymarket Founder and CEO Shayne Coplan "to demand information about Polymarket’s continuing failure to prevent insider trading and gambling related to American national security matters, including betting" related to the Iran war and ceasefire

"At least two potential 2028 Democratic nominees may have played a role in killing the resolution, with one DNC member telling Politico they received direct calls from the presidential hopefuls expressing concern about the resolution."

So far immigration officials have spent a total of $1.074 billion for 11 warehouses.

This is INSANE! What if one of these ppl had severe asthma? What if one of them was a pregnant woman?!; being sprayed could cause a miscarriage... This has to stop. Not even identified?! - no one knows who this man is. What was the reason?!! *SCREEEEEEAMS* THIS. IS. #TERRORISM. 🤬!!

The true Confederate flag

The wealthy corporations & the billionaire megadonors should enjoy themselves while they still can. They will not enjoy reaping what they have sown. Saving this country will require clawing back every cent they stole from the American people, & then taxing much more than they took.

i think we should start a petition to permanently ban pete hegeseth from the minnesota state fair. it feels like that’s how you excommunicate a minnesotan. sweet martha signs the order. fairchild throws you to the curb.

Over the past few weeks, the UMD Bulldogs, Merrimack Warriors, Wisconsin Badgers, Texas Longhorns, and Santa Clara Broncos, all flew their teams on this particular jet - Eastern Air Express's N808TJ. Today it flew shackled ICE detainees between Texas, Nebraska, Minnesota, and Louisiana. 🧵

i am a woman of action

3 days until the hunger strike begins. The rules that keep the HERC trash burner running were never based on science. EPA staff admitted it directly. Demand the Board act: bit.ly/endthestrike26 #FreedomToBreathe

“A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again.” These are the words of the president of the United States, today. The president speaks genocide. And so we too must speak. Not only about crimes, but about their legal punishment. snyder.substack.com/p/the-presid...

It’s day 126 of the ICE occupation of MN. Today in your reminder that ICE lies, is the story of how ICE agents lied after shooting a neighbor in North Minneapolis. Just like they lied about Renee, and Alex, and Ruben Martinez. Local reporters are doing amazing work bringing the truth to light.

Some of these babies still haven't gotten out. Never forgive those who put them there. We have yet to do enough.

Donald Trump just posted a video of Somali people enjoying the Mall of America to the soundtrack of “Mad World” because he is a bigoted POS

Trump threatened war crimes on Easter. Historian Timothy Snyder says the structural conditions for a coup attempt are now in place — war, midterms 7 months out, purged commanders, a nonsensical defense budget that’s actually a bribe. But we can stop him. Follow @timothysnyder.bsky.social

Nursing home owner Joseph Schwartz: • paid himself $5M as a “ghost employee” • diverted tens of millions owed to taxpayers & employees • failed to pay at least 3 multimillion-dollar judgments awarded to grieving families He also received a Trump pardon.

Twin Cities Friends: Don’t miss out on this ride! It’ll be fun AND a great opportunity to help our neighbors.

Updated the boycott guide. Slotted in Larry Ellison's media takeover at #7, and it's not just Paramount and CBS. The new merger gives them HBO, CNN et al. The full list and how to ghost them in in the guide. open.substack.com/pub/psychope...

6 days until the hunger strike begins. Burning trash: 28x more dioxin than coal. 14x more mercury. 6x more lead. In a dense residential neighborhood since 1989. Tell your county commissioner: meet the demands ➡️ bit.ly/endthestrike26 #FreedomToBreathe

love this article about mn rep. kaela berg and the rise of working-class congressional candidates coming from the labor movement

ICE is still here, and so are we. MN50501 volunteers observe every flight at MSP, and remain the only source of public, accurate, real-time information on the number of detainees in the region: ottergoose.net/ice-flights-msp/data Please help cover our airport parking fees: mn50501.org/donate

Two chained women are inspected before being loaded onto today's ICE Air flight at MSP. Empty shackles, returning from El Paso, will be brought to Whipple. The number of people loaded here this week, 67, is the highest since Feb 7-13, when Homan announced the end of Metro Surge.

After taking time to connect with the Pretti family and with their consent, we are honored to share that we have created the Alex Pretti Nursing Scholarship. For those interested, you can learn more and make a gift here: crowdfund.umn.edu/campaigns/Al...

“Instruction on the Home Entry Memo itself was conducted under a veil of secrecy,” the plaintiffs’ attorneys write. “While trainees were instructed to follow the memo, none of the instructions were written down, nor was any record of what was taught maintained by the instructors.”

Among the many other reasons why this is bad, it appears that the Frey administration is proposing delivering $2.1 million in capital gains to an LLC, seemingly connected to a private equity firm based in St. Louis Park, that purchased the property less than three years ago.

“my bitch wife of a city is why the room is dirty & you’re a statistic”

Community is a verb. Love is a verb. We act. Together. 💪🏽

It seems we just bombed some residential buildings in an attempt to kill a former diplomat who was trying to facilitate negotiations. A civilian trying to *end* hostilities, surrounded by other civilians in their homes. We are completely lost.
