TOMORROW

Reading the laundry list of O'Hara's bad behavior--including romantic relationships with at least three female subordinates, temper tantrums, witness tampering....and yet, Frey still nominates him for another term?!?!? The bigger story is Frey's failure as the elected solely responsible for police.

The meanings of political labels change over time, so there's no one term that describes this in an historically useful way, but for 150 years there have been those who care about working people and want to improve their lives, but will do all they can to prevent those workers from having power.

Dude will give u this pablum but all his political arm does is vilify anyone demanding actual police accountability. (I know this from personal experience) Frey doesn’t bravely confront painful truths, he attacks painful truth tellers.

Today marks six years since George Floyd was murdered by the Minneapolis Police Department. A day that changed our city, our country, and the lives of so many forever. Today is a day for grief, rage, reflection, and remembrance. George Floyd should still be alive.

Minneapolis People's Pride is just over 15% of it's $20k fundraising needs in order to put on a successful event in just over one month from right now. Please consider supporting this event that many people look forward to all year as a community-led Pride event. www.mplspeoplespride.com/donate

Describing someone having any type of moral or political standard you don’t personally have a ‘purity test’ has done more to undercut movements than any so-called purity testing has ever done. Spreading that talking point is embarrassing & insidious.

These business’ owners were at Vibrant Lyndale speaking against making Lyndale more walkable and bike friendly: - Flower Bar - World Street Kitchen - Knox Jewelry - Uptown Coupon Magazine - Muddy Waters - Bloody Gorgeous - Nameste Cafe - Leaning Tower of Pizza - ZRS Fossils and Gifts - CC Club

These meetings are always so informative. I always learn about another handful of business I’ll never patronize again.

faculty and students could choose to strike tomorrow (ok, well, term is over. After labor day) and shut down any university and force them to reorganize. And that's happened before (in the thirteenth century, anyway).

Macalester staff deserve a living wage! Fair contract now!

What’s disgusting? ---- Union Busting! What’s appalling? ------ Macalester Stalling! MAPE@MAC deserve a fair contract now!

i will not vote for any democrat that encourages throwing the trans community under the bus, i dont care who the opponent is i will not participate in an election where the choice is between two candidates that will attack marginalized communities to reach their personal political aspirations

This Day in Labor History: May 16, 1934. Truckers in Minneapolis went on strike in an action that would lead the way for the Teamsters to represent truckers across the nation and help lay the groundwork for the organization of industrial workers across the nation during the 1930!!!

We need to build some real social stigma around being afraid of cities. You don't have to like them or live there, but a politics built this strongly around watching TV and going "ewww" is embarrassing, and people should be embarrassed by it. It's like "fear of werewolves" being your top issue.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

HELEN OF TROY MUST BE PLAYED BY THE SEXY GREEN M & M

Let's compare some mayors!

Today at 5!

Comments on new BoC video do not disappoint www.youtube.com/watch?v=74Nl...

MPD Cop City parcel: 2027 assessed value: $2,630,900 Most recent sale price (2023): $4,000,000 Frey's proposed purchase price: $6,000,000 Only the best and brightest in the Frey administration can manage to buy land at twice assessed value.

My union is picketing 5/14 at 5pm while the trustees are on campus. Macalester St. & Summit Ave We’ve been working without a contract for 11 mos. Mgmt won’t even budge on non-economic proposals like codifying our current terms of employment in a contract. Join us! Especially if you’re a Mac alum

this type of post always gets put in the future tense. the guardrails are already gone. they have been torn to shreds. democrats decided not to act after 2006/2008. democrats decided not to act after 2018/2020. there was a coup attempt! an attempted massacre of congress! guardrails are fucking gone!

millennial song is of course william basinski disintegration loops dlp 1.1. cant go to a millennial wedding without a big dance party to that one

One side is like “can we disenfranchise all the Black voters by this weekend” and the other is like gotta follow the rules that govern the rules that control the rulebook

I see we’re doing this again

The meetup for our affinity and/or hobby group is at Flying Waters Brewery. It's at Cromulent Monkey. It's literally at Hungry Chungus Alehouse. You can probably find us at Whimsical Prison Brew Barn. It's at Lickspittle Steak Factory. Go to Horny Raccoon Beanery. Meet at Terrified Hurricane Evacuee

College professor: We need more resources, you claim to be pro-education but you are running an austerity government. Every aspect of this is being made worse because of a lack of funding, and now you’re thrusting AI onto everyone. Prominent Democratic politicians: You be talkin’ crazy. Be normal.

A, and I cannot emphasize this enough, woooo

i am tired of having to listen to dumb assholes just because they have a lot of money

I don't only think that college should be FREE but I think young people should also receive living stipends while in school. Finally, I do not care what they major in because education needs to actually BE DECOUPLED from a future job. You are welcome. You should have 4 years to study anything.

A tragic use of AI is in flyers for kids wanting to babysit or walk dogs or mow lawns, that shit demands terrible child graphic design skills and we should not accept anything less

Today, the day of the Met Gala, the unionized workers of the Met posted this image to their Instagram. www.instagram.com/p/DX64ioYjecG/

Rich fuckers who will arrest you for walking through their town, afraid aging septic systems will reduce their home resale values, demand taxpayer bailout.

Happy May Day! They didn’t think the Southside could make it and they wanted to break us down but they must not know us. We are still here and we aren’t going anywhere. ¡Adelante!

We need a leftist Andrew Tate. We need a leftist Fox News. We need a casino where you don't gamble and they give you free money. I refuse to understand the ecosystem I'm in the center of and I will not leave or modify my behavior. We need leftist McNuggets

Happy May Day and Actual Labor Day

Happy May Day my friends The state will never love you back, but your neighbors will. Today, be generous. Be critical of authority. Be thoughtful. You have inherited a legacy paid for by the blood of people who fought for you. We are a collective across time and space. Another world is possible.

Labor author & historian @kimkelly.bsky.social explains how May Day creates economic disruption and can prepare us for future action that leaves no one behind. May Day is TOMORROW! Take the May Day pledge at workers.fyi/commit and find an action near you at maydaystrong.org 📲

/to the tune of "American Woman" Political violence

Get yourself a partner who’s half as attentive as a Sweetwater Sound sales rep

Because conservatives like winning elections and liberals like winning arguments

Sonic Youth…theyre all a bunch of old people now. Ironic much

I want cis Americans to sit uncomfortably with the fact that most of these restrictions were ushered in through the liberal act of "just asking questions" about trans people.

every comfortable elite liberal is concerned with exactly one thing: never having to trouble their beautiful minds about anything happening outside their bubble of privilege
