Happy Loud Patriotic Noises Day, y’all!

Grimly amusing Dem machines think they deserve some sort of entitlement hierarchy. My entire life, everything has been moving backwards, politically, democratically, bureaucratically, judicially. You are all failures. You are presumptively part of the rot that must be removed down to the root.

I now fervently believe this. Relatedly, I think celebrating good news and embracing joy are equally radical. You have to remember what you’re fighting for. We cannot sustainably organize around sorrow.

Bring a sandwich bring a bevvy, do not cross the picket line ❤️

Ari, a friend of my daughter has been missing since Monday. Please amplify.

Remember, it's only a waste of taxpayer money when it is something that is being done to help other people

150 students died in the strike on the girls’ school in southern Iran.

someone on tumblr said it better than i could

In 2018, the airlines condemned family separation, and the policy was abolished that day. Delta Air Lines, who flew Liam to the Dilley camp, could condemn the current policy and it would end tomorrow, but it’s more profitable to be spineless cowards.

Julia Roberts: Renee Nicole Goode is not a symbol. She is an American woman, a queer woman who was doing the very best she could do to be good in an unjust world. And I am honored to celebrate her life and her legacy tonight, because the life she gave is our responsibility to carry.

Kingfield neighbors! Join Monarca for upcoming trainings on how to ensure every citizen can safely cast their ballot this November and every person has a voice in our country’s future. At a time when our democracy is under attack these trainings are more important than ever.

I don’t understand ppl who say they support democracy in government but not the workplace. So you believe everyone is a competent adult who knows what they need enough to be trusted to hire the managers of our communities but that disappears at work? We’re all just too stupid there?

Pope Leo to those who exploit migrants: “For every life lost, every family deceived, every body subjugated, every woman threatened, every worker exploited, you will have to appear before divine justice. Break those chains and free those you hold under your dominion.”

Hell yes. Minnesota is where democracy will never die.

Anyone else wonder if MPR raccoon is still out there living their best life?

Adults on Medicaid will be required to work 80 hours per month. The Trump administration says people who are sick will have to prove they are too sick to work to be exempt from the new work rules.

Don’t be a homer … Tell the @pioneerpress and hedge fund owner Alden Global Capital we need MORE reporters monitoring public spending, bills at the State Capitol, crime, courts, schools, arts, City Hall, elections, business… no one benefits from fewer eyes 👀 on government and industry!

i assumed they'd try and soften us up a bit before jumping directly to this one

RE: https://convo.casa/@b/116709768485921619 60 Minutes has this legacy news guy on staff who’s willing to look at Gestapo pigs murdering ppl in the streets and say, with a straight face, “well, it takes two to tango” — and Bari Weiss is like “that’s not good enough”. Everybody wins […]

Important to stress that: a) Pelley isn't some resistance hero, he's a reactionary centrist; b) Even this wasn't enough for Bari

Yesterday, ICE announced plans to reopen a detention facility that has been closed since 2010. The Prairie Detention Facility is owned by private prison company CoreCivic. At capacity, the facility will hold 1,600 male and female detainees.

🚨 ICE intends to reopen the Prairie Detention Center in Appleton, MN, newly posted contracting records show. The facility is currently owned and operated by private prison firm CoreCivic. The contract will be awarded on a sole source basis.

If you've been outdoors all weekend, you may just now be seeing new reports of crazy allegations against Brian O'Hara. Difficult to believe Mayor Frey didn't know there was a real problem when he renominated him. www.startribune.com/document-det...

Just heard Lesley Stahl say we were “pushing the bounds of peaceful protest” this winter while 60 Minutes explicitly hunted for images of “protestors” (don’t even get me started on that - fuck off calling neighbors witnessing crimes and doing something “protestors”). Can someone not suck, geez.

DONT FUND AI OVERLORDS. Save your brain. Think. Please.

ICE vehicles have been seen this morning in the Corcoran and Powderhorn neighborhoods/ South Minneapolis. It would be great to get extra support from community today. Please help out in your local area. 1/

Any recommendations on places a fella could donate an old mountain bike in the twin cities? It’s not in bad shape I just don’t need it anymore and want it to go to someone who could use it.

Unions can stop endorsing candidates who turn into union busters now. Thanks.

Our @jordanchariton.bsky.social leaves ICE speechless. ICE: Really? JC: Really what? JC: When the microphone's in your face you lose your voice? Tell us why you're here. ICE: You tell us why you're here? JC: I'm covering your stupidity. I'm covering you guys attacking unarmed protesters. More...

I was called a “young kid” yesterday… I’m 38. Millennials will never be seen as adults I guess?

The WNBA consistently has the best politics of any American professional sports league

As an organizer I think about power a lot. Who has it, who doesn’t, who needs it, who needs it taken away and re-distributed. A lot of us grow up in a culture that shoved Disney kings and cop dramas + various forms of propaganda that instructs us on who is suppose to hold power. Rarely it’s us.

THERE IS STRENGTH IN THE UNION JOIN YOUR UNION *TODAY*

In 1933, Justice Louis Brandeis said: “We can have democracy in this country or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of the few, but we cannot have both.” What he said was true 93 years ago. It’s even more accurate today. Let us choose democracy over oligarchy.

This really continues to upset me. Occupation Metro Surge eroded my trust in all levels of government. My entire life government has lectured me on what isn’t possible while happily slurping up cuts of my purchases and income. Seeing what my neighbors did for free, by contrast, upsets me.

So hey that's eugenics

Oh good so the rich get richer off of illegal tariffs WE bore the cost of. Cool!

TODAY: Folks in Texas are protesting the Dilley ICE detention center, demanding the Trump administration shut it down. Signs read: NO KIDS IN CAGES.

Twenty-nine people have died in ICE custody since October, the start of the federal government's fiscal year, already surpassing 2004's toll of 28, the previous record, according to government data.

The fact that Mamdani just seems like a cheerful normal guy who's policies are things like "we're going to tax second homes to fund pothole repairs" or whatever and yet this generates panicked responses like "This is basically Stalin's great purge turned up to eleven" is... telling. It tells things.

BIG NEWS: We win our suit against the FAA! minnesotareformer.com/briefs/faa-d...

Breaking: ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — Minnesota county investigates ICE arrest of Hmong American man as a potential case of kidnapping and false imprisonment.

To all who celebrate!

I’m annoyed beyond belief that the people of Minnesota stood up to an occupying force at the cost of their health and lives and senators won’t even get on a plane knowing the president may bomb an entire country tonight

For the last 6 months we have watched ordinary people put their lives at risk for their neighbors while the powerful retreat in cowardice. Just regular folks pummeled with chemical weapons and shot dead in the streets fighting for what's right and good. There are heroes all around you. Find them

"Why don't Americans..." they do. There's brave acts happening out of sight everyday. Why don't YOU support them when they get arrested or provide material cover for them?

Words mean things and to call giving millions of human beings a reprieve from mass murder "chickening out" implies that carrying out this crime would be a courageous thing.

"open the fuckin' strait you crazy bastards"-- "a whole civilization will die tonight" -- "j/k" we can't do this for another 3 years
