Here's update so far for my 🧡 @sorenwithward8.bsky.social 🧡 fundraiser! "As of 9/7 you have raised $152 with your personal link." Our ride is on Sunday, September 21. ~2 dozen riders are just under $4,000 toward our goal of $6,000 Give any amount here: secure.actblue.com/donate/neigh...

I don’t know, call me old-fashioned but, I think a former DFL Chair shouldn’t be donating to Republicans. And if they do, maybe they should lose their DPL status.

I have the most thoughtful friends 😭😭😭

also if you live in Mpls/St. Paul, this is for American Indian Magnet, so help a local teacher start out right 😘

I don't understand what people think they're attending or what they think they're doing with it or whether anything's coming of any of it

Angie Craig voted yes

I wish I could celebrate other people getting hysterectomies but fuck..

You want to know why people in chronic pain don't trust doctors and nurses? This right here. We aren't believed and are dismissed, looked upon with ridicule, or labeled drug seeking. When all we want is to manage our pain.

All this does is make it harder to spot the bad guys and normalize the ways. They are dressing, behaving, using those neck gaitors, scaring and harming people. All this would do is scare the people already most vulnerable. Grow up.

There is rising encouragement for people to dress up like the forces snatching people off the streets & it’s astonishing how many people think that’s a great idea. You really expect marginalized people to trust anyone doing this?! More than the snatchers? Surely they wouldn't fear/flee/fight 🙄

We've gone through THIRTY FIVE cases of Gatorade in 2 days, wow. It adds up! So grateful we have so many hands to come schlep for justice ❤️

They reached 200 and didn't get to everyone. Frey claimed there's less than 30 unhoused people in the city. We can't help people if we don't acknowledge their existence.

Good god I feel like ass today

Please help the depot, Minneapolis!

Black history is American history. Juneteenth is a time of celebration and a reminder of the immense resilience of the African American community. It is also a moment of reflection on how far we’ve come and how far we have to go to achieve our collective liberation.

your regular reminder about corner coffee: they are run by the homophobic and transphobic assemblies of god church. don't claim to support pride month then hold events there

Yesterday we did “give trans people your money day” today i challenge cis white folks to give your money to Black people

spoon machine broke, only knives

Popping in here quickly to say that the courts do not have first or final say. Ever. Trans people [of all ages] deserve every single thing that everyone else does. The illegitimate court is illegitimate.

I'm so very serious about this part. Pride flags are going missing in S Mpls neighborhoods. Person wearing a neck gaiter. Don't take risks with your friends.

🧵

Minneapolis, another way to show up for trans people in your city: attending these public safety meetings re: Lake & Minnehaha, where trans women have been harassed, battered, & even killed. Public safety means a lot of things, but we need voices willing to ensure thorough advocacy.

Hi Minneapolis trans friends, today sucks. I would love to help out with a meal for one of you! I have an uber eats voucher I can pass along to whoever sees this and really needs it today! ❤️ I’ll send in a DM!

HOFFMANS: via statement from John and Yvette Hoffman this morning, VERBATIM: “We are deeply disturbed by the false and invasive information provided by our estranged nephew, Mat Ollig. Any loving parent would protect their child at gunpoint. Hope living with disability doesn’t make that instinct 1/?

NOW IS THE TIME TO UPDATE YOUR PASSPORT IF YOU NEED TO CHANGE YOUR GENDER MARKER TO MATCH YOUR GENDER IDENTITY WE DO NOT KNOW HOW LONG THIS INJUNCTION WILL LAST OR IF IT WILL LATER BE EXPANDED. THE WINDOW IS OPEN, APPLY ASAP.

Now is a great time to donate directly to trans people and their families. If you’re in MN, I highly recommend a donation to TC Trans Mutual Aid and/or Transforming Families

In an essay, Kwaneta Harris argues that denying incarcerated people the right to vote undermines the democratic process.

Solidarity and community is the only way out. Together we will not fall but as individuals we will be picked off one by one That’s how fascism works and what it needs. Fascism wants you to become cold and detached. Solidarity and community are an antidote to fascisms atomizing force.

I'm not asking conspiracy theory questions, I'm asking you to use your common fucking sense. Police lie most of the time to cover for their incompetence, the secondary reason to cover up their dirt - the official police line lies to cover for the institution of policing.

Please read and share this statement from Sophie and Colin Hortman, children of Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark. (via WCCO reporter Caroline Cummings on X)

Two days after the 50501 Utah organizers "peacemakers" fired into a crowd, killing one man and injuring another Mere HOURS after @50501movement.bsky.social called the anti-racist victim a "depraved domestic terrorist", the org now says they "do not have a complete understanding of what happened."

Yes, Hope has spina bifida. She's 28 years old and one of the best advocates for disability justice in the state. She's an amazing woman--AND was the one who called the cops. Let's make sure we honor Hope, too 💖

Cannot believe I am having to say "people need to listen to Tammy Duckworth on this"... fortunately there are plenty of anti-imperialist disability justice advocates who have long said the same thing.

i don't totally understand the whole fake cop car with a very obviously fake police license plate with a fake cop staring straight ahead refusing to engage when prompted and the real cop just leaving??

fingerless oven mitts

If a man who collects guns and protective gear, impersonates police offices, vehemently opposes access to abortion, preaches white evangelical Christianity in Congo, declares LBGTQA people evil — if a man like that “shows no sign of radical political views” we need new signs

If people like Amy Klobuchar hadn’t spent the last two decades demanding we compromise with people who quite literally want us dead, maybe we wouldn’t fucking be in this position.

there is now a gofundme to benefit melissa and mark hortman’s two kids www.gofundme.com/f/support-co...

Journalists cowed to call copaganda and police sycophancy what it is, right wing political ideology, because then we would have to come to terms with how politicized police themselves are and how problematic for center or left electeds to rely on police as apolitical public servants.

Confiscate all fireworks

I saw a lot of comments about the ASL interpreter emoting at the presser yesterday about Boelter - if you didn’t know, facial expressions are part of ASL. Like part of the grammar. FYI.

FWIW, I work in local MN political networks and we received an explicit ask today from their kids that Melissa and Mark Hortman be only referred to as their names (and not their titles). Do with that what you will.

Y’all and when I say yall I mean every single one of yall, have to stop taking police at their word, given ALL we know for a fact about how they lie and obfuscate for any given reason. Y’all especially yall in the media need corroboration of EVERYTHING they say. And you know this. You know this.
