1 million? The community raised so much more. Just embarrassing stuff.

The press called Betty Shabazz, Coretta Scott King, and Myrlie Evers "the widows." Between them, they held six degrees, ran three national institutions, raised sixteen children alone, and spent a combined sixty years fighting for justice their husbands didn't live to see.

I doubt landlords have contemplated systemic collapse. Covid came with relief funds. And the loss on one evicted family terrorizes ten more into paying rent and skimping on food or medical care. But that system is fragile already. They won’t know what hit them when it shatters.

BRB, screaming into the void until it takes me into its embrace.

Mhhhhh www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

Nekima on the Target boycott.

McFucking Losing it over here, again, with every single person who put up the gross lie that eviction proceedings were *necessary* for aid.

Goddammit so much. Knowing the number would be even higher if not for our collective efforts…but the human cost of metro surge is going to keep adding up. None of it is over. Especially not this.

This is now the canonical pronunciation of Bluesky. Also, John Kennedy might not be the dumbest person in the world but he’d better hope the dumbest person in the world doesn’t die.

Dismantle DHS/ICE. Prosecute all involved. Reallocate all funding.

At the risk of surfacing Bernie discourse…it’s something his campaign really got right.

THIS is the take on LLMs and the job market. They can probably do some jobs, which will worsen millions of people's lives. But much more than that, people who don't understand your job will assume that it is worthless, even more than they already do.

My psychologist didn’t find this very funny. I still think it’s a banger.

thank you for sharing that you believe in me! we can agree to disagree on that 🫶

Slap some hi-vis paint on those bricks….maybe glow in the dark? And you’ve got yourself some smart, walkable, mixed use urbanism.

If you work in a creative industry, you *must* read this “If you were a man, every one of those negatives would be in the positive column.” - My first performance review in games included as negatives: “personality is too big, too confident, asks too many questions” Yes, there’s a double standard

And he's not even the only Hennepin County deputy in the news this week for assaulting a woman

Even if it takes years, we have to bring EVERYONE who made this happen to justice. No moving on, no letting this go. Revenge is good enough motivation for me personally, but the nobler and important reason is to ensure that anyone who thinks of doing this again knows they’ll rot in prison for it.

PAT RYAN: 'Does the US want to be the policeman of the Middle East getting nothing but spending precious lives & trillions.' Rng a bell? COLBY: Defer to you R: That was Trump. How about this - 'we simply cannot afford to get enmeshed in a Middle East war' C: Defer to you R: That was actually you

I got this today after paying a family’s back rent to stop an eviction that had been filed. I feel that weight in my bones, and I’m glad she gets to sleep tonight. No one should ever have to feel that fear.

minneapolis ward 8 city council member soren stevenson pointed out that sgt mark hanneman's body cam footage in 2020 showed him being shot in the face and losing his eye, pointing out that "there is trauma to go around" - it's not just MPD needing wellness and healing

Go Live on Bluesky!? Wow if this has existed in the Alf era it would have been even more wild.

This was _wild_ to hear from them, truly. And a few testifiers said this, which is really important: a 30 day pause gives bureaucracy (city, county, applications) the time to implement the 1 mil in rent assistance the city is allocating to the county.

Yup. Just blocked someone for this. If you are so 501c3 pilled that you think it’s good actually to be able to lord the power of life and death over recipients unless they show you the right documentation, we do not share any ground on what liberation is.

Can we talk about Minneapolis affordable housing nonprofits flacking against an extension of eviction notice, flacking against folks having a little tiny breathing room so they may be able to get some support?

MPD has not submitted a single case involving federal agents for charging. Tomorrow MPD will be before the council, I want to hear from them why. Neighbors have seen way more than their fair share of criminal behavior by ICE

I strongly suspect Weyker’s credibility issues lead to the dismissal of charges against the person who stole and burned my car. She’s been sidelined but still doing damage.

We keep us housed. We keep us in dignified living conditions. TC people’s laundry has scaled up existing efforts to meet the moment for anyone who needs support getting laundry done. For monetary, housing, safety reasons. A member is barnraising to keep a client housed. I chipped in. Can you?

One must imagine Skeetyphus happy.

“NYU Langone’s change in policy is self-imposed,” the letter states. “There has been no change in federal law to require the cessation of medically necessary transgender health care.”

so the podcast that Platner went on as a guest last month and called himself a “longtime fan” of isn’t just antisemitic, it’s also full of anti-Black racism and promoted the racist and xenophobic GOP attacks on Somali immigrants in Minneapolis?

Double take as I scrolled. Thought this was Naomi Wolf (derogatory).

For the many Platner fans here, Peters is a white supremacist, Holocast denying / antisemetic, virulently anti-trans anti-gay right-wing influencer. There's no lack of people making similar points that Platner could be reading and promoting who are not nazis.

Someone has also made a Bella ciao for the occasion.

Still up on the official White House website: www.whitehouse.gov/articles/202...

it’s like the FIFA peace prize doesn’t mean anything anymore

We keep us housed. Rent funds are a dire need. And yes, there is more, but if you don’t know where to start…rent funds at www.standwithminnesota.com

they do indeed let you rawdog autism and adhd as long as you're good enough at masking and the grades are good huh

My “I’m not asking you to do anything illegal” tshirt has a lot of attorneys asking questions already answered by the shirt.

It’s time for the state to start stepping up and helping our neighbors just like local residents have been with mutual aid.

An ample and open clerestory should get the attention of any right minded suitor.

the party that wants to require ID to vote abruptly invalidating a thousand people’s IDs overnight seems like a pretty giant flashing red light

i really struggle to understand how anyone could behave this way. i mean, intellectually, i get it. i research monsters for a living. i know they’re real. but imagine slamming the cage door in a crying child’s face, having just confiscated her crayons. and then going home to your own family???

It’s true, and we’re gonna keep saying it. Your trans self is fearfully and wonderfully made, and damn anyone who says otherwise. 🏳️‍⚧️
