Brazilian Queen of the North. Bicycle Mayor of Winnipeg.
I predict Bondi will go to jail way before any other name in the Epstein files, making it TWO WOMEN in jail before any of the men even go to trial. I'm not complaining, just predicting. Fuck the patriarchy.

Evan Duncan’s intent is to limit protest. He wants to be able to do what Trump is doing without the dissent. That’s why he’s proposed the most extreme version of this by-law in all of Canada.

But on the positive side, governments will no longer have to install millions of surveillance cameras anywhere... they're already installed. and you are paying for it.

Everyday I open social media hoping for some incredible news of arrest or better for the people in the Epstein files, but I'm not sure what I actually see is good for my mental health. Just more of the same. Can you all just light up a sign in the sky for me if it happens?

This is a true story. While travelling, one time I told someone I bike everywhere in Winnipeg and they said "oh, do you know Dave?" and I'm like, please, like do you think just because I ride a bike I know everyone who rides a bike? And yes, I know Dave, so what?

Alex Pretti was an American hero. He saved lives. He protected people. He cared deeply about his community, unlike the murderous thugs who killed him. The very last thing he did was try to help a woman who had been pepper-sprayed and violently shoved to the ground by ICE. 1/

Thinking of all of our friends in the Twin Cities at this moment. What has always stood out to us during our time there and in frequent conversation with our fellow advocates is that what makes Minnesota special are the people. That's never been more clear than right now.

This is Minneapolis: I have been to two churches this weekend (for mutual aid work). I am an atheist and cannot remember the last time I went to a church (except funerals). Minneapolis religious leaders and communities are stepping up with supporting our neighbors.
