The Trump administration, supported by Republicans, is applying the private equity playbook to the American scientific ecosystem. They are selling it off, piece by piece, to their billionaire pals, under the guise of “improving operations”. The budget, SBE at NSF, multiyear funding schemes…

the last thing we need to be doing is going along with an executive power grab by the minneapolis charter commission to remove more of city council's powers and give it to the mayor. this undemocratic body silenced the people in 2020, fight them trying it again taylordahlin.com/f/charter-co...

Why did it take me until this second to realize that the ICE/DHS hiring was also to keep the violent chuds from feeling the effects of this economy and turning against the fascists?

Today is April 2nd and rent is DUE. I'm barnraising for M, a mom in Northeast who has had a very difficult time asking for help for her family because the ICE terror has eroded their trust & sense of safety. They need $2100 total; $100 has already been sent to M. Can you chip in or share? 🌻

Hi all. I’m coming to y’all with a personal need. If you’ve been connected to me since Twitter, you may remember that I have a young man/mentee in my life from our time in St. Louis. He owes some court fees for some ongoing racist St. Charles County shit and I want to help him pay them.

We don't have to treat sexual harassment in public spaces as an inevitability. Bystanders *can* intervene and change the narrative. Join me this Int'l Anti-Street Harassment Week for a FREE training! Open to anyone, anywhere. Cameras/mics off, so very chill! Register: zoom.us/webinar/regi...

85.9% funded! Less than $700 to go!

Ok! $3000/$4800 is already funded! That's 62.5% funded right off the bat!! 18 people with $100 will pay all of her back rent!! 🌻🌻🌻

It’s the last day of the month! Rent is due TOMORROW and we at StandWithMinnesota.com currently have zero donors. ICE is still here, and there is still so much need. Can you help? V: @Ian-Coldwater CA: $iancoldwater PP: @coldwater Please share and help if you can! Thank you! 💐

Thank you P for $200 toward C's back rent!! (You've been so so generous!) $3300/4800 is is 68.75% funded! 15 more people with $100 would pay all of her back rent! 🌻

Everyone pony the fuck fpr the librarian who just got sacked for refusing to remove LGBTQ books from the kids' section of the library.

I don't want to talk about how much pocket lint I just pulled from my phone's charging port, but let's just say it was like an ear wax video

Let's fucking go! (Get these rents covered.)

This Minneapolis rent fund is helping a group of immigrant neighbors who will be evicted within 14 days if they don’t get to goal! 😱 Can we help get them there? I can vouch for this fund and these neighbors, and I would love for them to be able to sleep tonight! Please share and give if you can! 💛

My mermaid self is here to remind you that I can not be contained as just a man #transDayOfVisibilitu

trans day of visibility is such a quaint concept. remember back when we thought if everyone could just see trans people being normal human beings then *of course* they wouldn't want to hurt us anymore?

It’s day 118 of the ICE occupation of MN. As the end of the month approaches, once it seems like every Minnesotan is raising money for mutual aid rent funds. Go to StandWithMinnesota.com to keep Minnesotans housed.

It's Trans Day of Visibility today. If you're trans and are raising money for something (I don't care what it is), reply to this thread and I will boost you. If you are a cis person, take a look and find someone to support if you can. Everyone give this a share after.

TACO Tuesday came early!

I'd like to introduce you to Panulirus ornatus, the ornate rock lobster. They're native to the Indo-Pacific, with a large range centered on New Guinea & the Great Barrier Reef near Australia. They're a member of family Palinuridae, the spiny or rock lobsters. So why so colorful?

One of you angels donated $600! The total is now $780/$1000. Can we get that last $220 tonight? Let’s make it so this family can rest easy tonight knowing they will have shelter for another month.

The federal Department of Justice has sued the state of Minnesota, alleging that our state has violated Title IX by allowing transgender athletes to compete alongside their peers, and allowing trans students to use bathrooms, locker rooms, and other facilities free from discrimination.

📢 UPDATE: $6K needed by April 1 to keep neighbors in Minnesota housed! 🏘️ Donate: NeighborReliefFund.org Several families are still on the wait list. Please share! 👏🏻 Huge thanks to everyone who helped us raise $4k in just two days! There are neighbors whose needs are being met because of you. 💸✊🏻💖

The cost of your flight went up because you searched for it twice. Your rideshare costs more because your phone battery is dying. This is surveillance pricing – corporations using your own data and behaviors against you. In the US Senate, I’ve got plan to ban it.

And for his grand finale, Tim Walz gives us nothing! The wealth of the top 1% is at its highest, and the establishment continues to defend the status quo. News flash 🚨 – the status quo isn’t working.

this point from flannery can’t be emphasized enough. we know how MPD with all their guns and badges refused to respond to ICE even harassing children while every day people with only whistles and phones stood up to them, as our mayor played hero for a national audience while not being in the streets

It was an incredible honor to represent tens of thousands of rapid responders across Minnesota who have spent the last 118 days standing up for our neighbors. Here’s my speech from yesterday at No Kings St. Paul. 1/

They did this to text effects too. There is no need for AI to add sparkles around text

I’m not a mom, but I’ve noticed that “wine mom” and “Patagonia wearing mom” and “moms pushing strollers” are cited as people who aren’t expected to take political action, or even to hold strong opinions. You all had moms, why do you think so little of her? Because she made you eat veggies? Grow up.

I did this on previous No Kings days, but it's genuinely shocking to look back on Tea Party coverage and see what paltry numbers were treated like a political earthquake.

It’s a great day to help pay rents for ICE-impacted families!

it feels like hodges encountered more consequences for ultimately having less power as a mayor, and never misses me the irony of her being beaten in an election on accountability by someone who has none

a reminder. There will likely be no cell signal at the MN Capitol today. (the cell towers can't handle large crowds). So if your plan is "i'll text you when I get there to meet up". No, you won't. Have a plan.

If this isn't the baby ducks, I'm not interested

Thank you M for $25 toward A’s rent! $2650/3600 is 73.6% funded! $950 left to go and that’s just 19 more people with $50 or 2 people with $500. 🌻

This isn’t getting much traction yet. Would love to raise the remaining $900 by the end of the weekend! Venmo my very trustworthy friend gdavies1

This is... creepy? Gross? Definitely on brand. Last night at an event in D.C., Craig was celebrated as a “Crypto Champion” with an exclusive NFT on display:

utter bullshit for the @startribune.com to not show michael rainville calling them "fucking children" and only show aurin's response as if she's accusing him of this when there is PROOF. thumb on the scale from strib, as always

*Mutual aid request* I’m helping a friend raise rent for a fam of 6 in Mpls. Mama is still recovering from postpartum complications and caring for 4 kids. Dad is looking for work but it’s been tough. They need $1000 by April 1. If you can chip in a few (or a few dozen) bucks, please venmo gdavies1

don’t be under the impression that hao nguyen is a fellow progressive alternative to cedrick frazier for hennepin county attorney. he attended latonya reeves campaign kickoff for cd5! that’s him next to martha holton dimick, who ran against mary moriarty in 2022 and lost! frazier is the only choice
