Not a word from the ADL’s Jonathan Greenblatt on Tucker hosting Fuentes. Amazing. I just checked his Twitter feed and plenty on Mamdani and even Norway (!) but not a word about a top conservative podcaster hosting an infamous Holocaust denier. Greenblatt is beyond parody at this point.

Just another day in Chicago.

The United Nations reports the 1,001st Palestinian death in the West Bank since October 2023. That’s hundreds more civilians Israel has killed in the *West Bank* than Israeli civilians Hamas killed on Oct 7, 2024.

Council Member @robin4mpls.bsky.social and I authored a legislative directive today to Identify areas within the City Charter that highlight consequences and penalties for violations of the City Charter for city officials. Enough is enough. lims.minneapolismn.gov/Download/RCA...

Frey administration refusing to comply with city council request for the completed internal review on the Davis Moturi case. They say a release would create "perception of interference" with the city auditor's after action review (a review that MPD is already delaying through non compliance!)

DHS says our new piece is "dishonest, slanted, and fundamentally inaccurate" but won't say why. Here's the story where we show with evidence that DHS spliced together clips spanning years and multiple locations to create its own reality. Gift link wapo.st/4nuDGwf

You mean like she used Justine Damond on behalf of Jacob Frey to loudly declare she no longer supported Betsy Hodges?

If people wanted to say Zohran is a crypto-communist, I‘d object but at least there would be some basis to the paranoia. accusing the most obviously left-wing secular Muslim of being a secret sharia guy is so fucking racist

I would love one theorist of "why the democratic party should go right on immigration" to 1) look at what Clinton and Obama and Biden actually did, and 2) to reckon with the fact that despite those overtures, Stephen Miller now has a goon army doing forcible deportations without due process

I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice. This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.

New: Progressive congressional candidate Kat Abughazaleh has been indicted over protests outside Chicago-area ICE facility after videos of confrontations with federal agents have fueled right-wing calls for her arrest. www.msnbc.com/msnbc/news/k...

this is the point and goal of US policy.

The @dfl.org scheduled this "listening" stop for one hour in a library downtown in a room that only fits 80 people. Assuming 3-4 reps from the state party there, that's just 5-6 people per ward, in a city of over 400,000. Sounds like the state DFL is afraid to actually engage w/MN's largest city.

Again, Frey supporting liberals were supporting this on /r/Minneapolis years ago. This is policy with bipartisan support, both parties have sections that support concentration camps

This is an especially worrying statement when facial recognition can be inaccurate, biased, and generally make mistakes. Basing whether someone should be in the US or not, and ignoring physical media like a birth certificate, is ripe for disaster bsky.app/profile/jose...

oh just straight up gutter racism!

I think what the Mamdani's-dad's-cousin-is-his-aunt non-story reveals about white sociopolitics writ large is not merely that they will turn anything into an opportunity to distrust a person of colour, but "extended 'family'" is anathema to a certain flavour of whiteness, out of ignorance or spite.

New Yorkers: please vote!!!! Cuomo went all-in on racism in the final 2 weeks because he's got nothing else. And as we've seen, that's a very effective motivator.

a trans girl in vermont was kicked off her swimming team and committed suicide and at the very same time, the discourse in d.c. today is about whether the democratic party should’ve abandoned her sooner in order to win votes a day in an american life

in the 2024 general election FLORIDA voted for abortion rights the same margin they voted for trump and yet dem consultants are trying to convince themselves it's a losing issue the party is being led by incompetent morons

Just getting caught up on this debate from today. Only take I have is it’s kind of wild to hear Mayor Frey talk about how there’s a “cross jurisdictional approach” to their current public safety administration. Commissioner Irene Fernando’s open letter from Friday paints a very different picture.

"all three other people in the race-who vary in their ideologies- have all agreed that i am a bad mayor. this is why you should support me"

“mfelocal59: Mark your calendars for Tuesday! We're rallying and picketing at the Davis Center for the schools Minneapolis students and educators deserve - smaller class sizes, fair pay, and real investment in our schools. Join us! And if you live in Minneapolis, you can pick up a lawn sign!”

There are so many bad things coming down the pike from an already-conservative Charter commission, but backed by a conservative City Council, they will likely approve at-large Council seats simply to raise the cost of entry to Shaffer heights … and the $250k Shaffer raised might be small potatoes.

Trump got a lot of votes in NYC in 2024… and 40% of the vote in Queens. So assume Cuomo might win and don’t get complacent

Andy Ngo and other far right extremists have been targeting Avalos since at least as early as July and trying to paint her as violent and a "member of Antifa." On court record, Ngo has admitted that his social media posts can lead to violence.

In the Twin Cities, I would love to see one of the local news outlets publish a comprehensive list of options for donating money/feed/or volunteer. You'll read a lot of mentions of Second Harvest & Neighbors Inc. But there are lots of smaller places that need your help. And call your local school.

It is worth noting that we had the revelation this weekend that the soldiers who blew up these boats in the Caribbean had sought assurances from lawyers that it was aboveboard and legal beforehand; the few lawyers that remain refused to give that assurance. Remember that for their trials.

Mamdani's campaign is "tinged with antisemitism" because they don't like how he handled something someone else said Cuomo saying Muslims are a fifth column who want to do 9/11 every day is unmentioned

It would be a really cool and swag time to not just donate to food banks but if you have socialist and communist orgs in your area to connect with them and see if you can join and use your time to combine explicit political engagement and food aid / food delivery Most are also raising money

Probably no truth to the rumor that the mountain of money Frey & Co are dumping on this election has broken the campaign finance reporting system.

It's not too late for the left to run someone who doesn't have nazi tattoos against Mills. I will cut the candidate introduction video for them if you want. I've got lens flare transitions and everything, it can look like Platner's if you need it to.

How far into the “first they came for…” poem are we?

We are at least 4-5 stanzas deep in the “first they came for…” poem and there are still not enough people speaking out

Don’t you dare rank DeWayne Davis for leadership, integrity reasons and turn around a rank Frey. Motherfuckers be lying to themselves about their ethics, morals and values.

Backed by the Heritage Foundation and Big Tech, KOSA will force everyone to upload their ID to access the internet. In an age when Palantir has direct ties to ICE, where technofascists are in power and want to eliminate and censor everything, we CANNOT allow KOSA to pass. It NEEDS mass pushback.

If you can make it to Rush Hospital in Aurora, IL, an ICE patroller got pulled out of her car, assaulted and pepper sprayed by agents. She's in the hospital and nobody except ICE is allowed to see her. There's a call to assemble and demand ICE leave the hospital, and let her husband in to see her.

we lost paul and sheila wellstone 23 years ago today. can never forget how bleak it felt to receive this news in my high school classroom, less than 2 weeks before the election. 10th graders knew how bad it would be that he was gone, because he had voted no against war in iraq

Twitter since Elon Musk's takeover and complete domination by nazis basically is just a window into the ugliest parts of the world but some journalists and politicians take it as representative of the general public and that's the real danger (and utility to their movement)

We’re getting close to election day in Minneapolis, and I’ve figured out who I plan to vote for. I endorse Dr. DeWayne Davis and Sen. Omar Fateh. I also plan to rank Jazz Hampton.

Americans need to reconcile that this is pretty much what the Obama-era drone strikes were. Any time a prior administration abused its power and it was greeted by a shrug because “we’re the good guys” - this is why you shouldn’t do that.

here is the full slate of "team minneapolis" or "team mpls" candidates for mayor, city council, park board, and BET

propaganda efforts around jacob frey claiming as “team minneapolis” are desperate, trying to say that anyone who opposes you is therefore against the city itself, but park board candidates screwed out of an endorsement by frey pulling delegates signing onto this is even sadder

Changed “haters” to “critics”, but embarrassingly Tiger Beat compared to one Strib just did on Fateh. Amir Locke‘s killing? Omit “language got casual.” Anything about cutting the Council out (budget stuff, for example) or contracting fiascos? Nope. But lots of cute family stuff. Thumb on scale.

critics of the mayor are not "haters." this strib framing minimizes issues and concerns people have about him, and using slang terms like "haters" is frey-friendly language because this is what his supporters say in response to people bringing up valid issues "you're just a hater"

At some point in the last couple hours, Jonathan Weinhagen deleted his twitter account. Here's some of the posts I saved before he did 🧵

Trump getting mad at a commercial and ending trade negotiations means the Gorilla Channel tweet is going to become reality

I have more or less accepted that Islamophobia will just become more, not less common among liberals and left wingers as more Muslims get elected lol
