"In Minnesota we don’t need to be nice / We can get salty on the streets to de-ice / Get loud and observe, be cautious, alert / We melt ice with the salt of the earth..." @seemore.bsky.social with the anti-ICE anthem I needed in my life right now: "Salt of the Earth"

South High School parents are holding a special fundraiser specifically for South families to support with rent and keep families together. 30.9% of the population is Black and 27.7% of the population is Latino. gofund.me/96e23ea1a

Thank you, @guante.info ! ✊🏽

Just so people outside of MN know - a lot of the US citizens getting “arrested” by ICE never get processed at Whipple. They are roughed up during the arrest and then often dropped off miles from where they were picked up. It means we don’t know the true scale of what ICE is doing based on ICE stats

Today the Minneapolis City Council unanimously passed a resolution calling on Governor Walz to enact an eviction moratorium to keep Minneapolis families in their homes to protect them from ICE.

hi i bet you need to hear Hüsker Dü performing the Mary Tyler Moore song live in 1985 today

Most people hear “heat pump” and think of small air-source units at home. But Germany is building one of the world’s largest heat pumps in Mannheim: a 162 MW river-source system using heat from the Rhine. Big reminder that heat-pumps scale far beyond households — they can decarbonise whole cities.

Turns out I won't be able to make it to this, unfortunately, but it's still a fantastic lineup of poets sharing work Sunday (11/23/25) at 3pm at @moonpalacebooks.bsky.social for @writersfordemocraticactionmn.org. Thanks to @darklake.bsky.social for the invite and your work on this.

AUTHORS!! Remember that case where a bunch of authors sued AI for stealing their work? And WON? Well, the settlement money has been announced. Each WORK that got thefted will be compensated $3k (split 50/50 bw publisher + author). So authors will be compensated $1500 per WORK stolen. More here:

A reminder that my online asynchronous class on political writing is full of resources, frameworks, writing prompts, examples, and more—and that while I ask for $20, anyone who wants to get in for free gets in for free, no questions asked.

Mamdani: "We can respond to oligarchy and authoritarianism with the strength it fears, not the appeasement it craves. After all, if anyone can show a nation betrayed by Donald Trump how to defeat him, it is the city that gave rise to him."

just want to remind everyone again that zohran is the one cis candidate i am aware of that had his platform on trans rights written by trans people. i think that matters

AOC: "This is about, do you understand the assignment of fighting fascism right now? And they assignment is to come together across difference no matter what."

Dem women governors in NJ, NY, VA, MA. 🔥🔥

I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day. certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

Zohran is stone cold man. Putting out an ad in Arabic after all the Islamophobic shit that’s been thrown his way? Pure swag. Dems don’t need to copy his politics or even necessarily his campaign strategy, they need to learn how to grow a fucking spine.

Anytime you ask “why did the Times cover it this way?” or whatever corporate media it is, remember that influential moderates are the tool of the wealth class and are there to normalize whatever the wealthy want and create doubt regarding reform and change.

Thank you to @authorsguild.org for a really informative webinar on the Anthropic settlement. And shout out to all the agents who are handling emails from clients who are learning their publishers never registered books with the copyright office.
