It's the PTO moms and spreadsheet dads and other random-ass Minnesotans concerned for their neighbors. There is no one central organizing org, just a ton of people who give a shit. It's both beautiful that it's happening and laughable that anyone thinks there's some broader apparatus at work.

If I wasn’t clear, intifada means a shaking off, a shrugging off of something. I’m not making any claims about causation. I wish I didn’t have to say this but some dudes on here are scared of Arabic words.

IL state legislature has introduced HB4279 the "Passenger Rail Planning Act" The bill sets targets and guidelines for passenger rail in Illinois and helps planning coordination with other states. Each corridor would be nominated for the Corridor ID round 2 grants.

They drove into it because the pole is brown

They wheeled this Nazi asshole into court in a wheelchair and he was still trying to hide his face in shame 76 years after World War II ended. That's the kind of commitment I'm looking for.

Not exaggerating when I say that the collective action in Minnesota will be studied for generations if not centuries to come

Hard to convey how much you can tangibly feel the love and care for one another people are showing here in Minneapolis. Even in the few days we’ve been here more businesses have come on board with the strike and we've met people from every walk of like doing the work to keep each other safe.

Liam’s mom dressed him in all those layers to keep her little boy warm and safe in this frigid weather, packed his book-bag w/ everything he’d need for a good day at school, and then our govt stole him out of their driveway. Used her little boy as bait. These people are monsters.

They can’t do it because it points out that they themselves are doing nothing to help. Maybe three of them saying Abolish ICE. The rest are talking about retraining and body cams and QR codes.

New in PN: American embarrassment. Global pariah. "Donald Trump sounded like a fascist dictator suffering from a brain bleed during his speech yesterday at Davos. It was a national embarrassment even by the lowly standards of modern American politics."

But if you are an American citizen and you get stopped without your id, what’s to prevent them from saying you’re not a citizen? De facto forced to carry id.

This guy went to work today, put a mask on, kidnapped a 5 year old child, and then used him as bait so both he and his father could be sent behind bars

Another friend put it to me like this: "ICE has made the classic Nazi mistake. They've invaded a winter people in the winter."

Half the street corners around here have people--from every walk of life, including republicans--standing guard to watch for suspicious vehicles, which are reported to a robust and entirely decentralized network that tracks ICE vehicles and mobilizes responders.

They're opposition in name only. They hope they can just ride this out until ppl vote for them again. We need to wake up to this fact and quit supporting them

Canada MUST build out all our required industries away from the USA and then tariff the shit out of all those products.

These numbers are a shitshow. The GOP knows they’re not sustainable, but they’re too afraid to actually do anything about it. That’s why you’re seeing so many of them resign. They understand what’s coming in the midterms.

wow just woke up from a nap, i guess everyone else on Air Force One realized we aren't going to the right place

This is a more accurate metric of impending bad weather than the Waffle House Index

Hey, sorry we’re only resisting so hard that Trump is deploying 1500 elite paratroopers to our state to try and quash the growing rebellion against him. If you actually want to stop this send us fucking military aid and troops.

Danish MEP Anders Vistisen to Donald Trump :"Let me put this in words you might understand: Mr. President, fuck off."

I just woke up from a nap and somehow while I was asleep, everyone on the bus has figured out we are not going to the right place

Weber State with a "WTF did I just watch? (Complimentary)" to win the partner stunt competition at nats www.instagram.com/reel/DTmAnJx...

macron is literally trying to jingle keys and trump is too fucking stupid and forgone for it to work, he’s so addicted to the attention of his nonstop bitching and moaning that he just posts screenshots of the fucking group chat

A view on the US from Greenland: “We do not want to be rich like Americans. Look how greedy they are, even trying to invade their friends. We would not sell ourselves. We know what happened to Indigenous people in Alaska and Native Americans. Their land was taken, and they were not treated well.”

Gloria! You're always on the run now.

To recap: the two major parties refuse to rein in the reign of a demented sociopathic king who daily is marching us into both World War III and the next Civil War simultaneously because a Black president once made fun of him and also the Special Boy wasn't given the Shiny Golden Medal he covets

mad king moment from the PBS Newshour correspondent

I watched a clip earlier today where Nawal el Saadawi said there’s no Democracy under capitalism and this is what she meant.

company rebrand away from Meta when I still want a detailed tell all about exactly how they lost this much money, just an incredible amount of spend even in an industry where compensation is absurd

Yesterday I went back to Broadview for the first time since being federally indicted to stand in solidarity with the hundreds of people who braved the cold to speak with one voice: Abolish ICE.

Leftists: the USA is fundamentally an imperialist power. Liberals: that's not what America is all about! Conservatives: fuck yeah we're doing imperialism!

You better not be messing with my neighbors...

A bit ago I remembered that during the Civil War, the 1st Minnesota Infantry captured the battle flag of the Virginia 28th. Yes, THAT Confederate battle flag. It resides in Minneapolis. They could do the funniest shit in the world, and burn that fucker publicly while everyone is watching!

guys being dudes

Nothing says "I Love America" like a Totenkopf wearing a Crown, flanked by carrion birds. These idiots are cosplaying fascism with live ammunition.

For non-German speakers: “Dear media, I can’t stand the headline "No agreement between the US and Denmark” any longer. If an armed man storms a bank, you don't run the headline: "Robber and cashier can't reach an agreement on money transfer." Stop framing imperial aggression as normal diplomacy.”

i am not unfamiliar with how law enforcement operates but man it is really something to see regular people digging through what very much looks like the gear of an organized crime syndicate

The complicated reality is there are 3 things happening simultaneously: -Trump preternaturally understands the ebb and flow of the media and does perform for it -His inner circle is in a mad dash to turn the US into a fascist ethnostate -Like all authoritarian regimes, they're grossly incompetent

This good-natured, 34-year-old, Muslim, immigrant man—who the Times bemoaned was too young and radical to “get anything done”—has accomplished more good governance in a *week* on the job than most liberal politicians accomplish in their whole careers. With a smile & a joyful heart. A blessing.

When someone on the left historicizes revolutionary or resistance movements in the 2010s as jumping from Occupy to Bernie without passing BLM or Standing Rock it's a pretty solid guarantee those people are going to have white settler politics and can not be trusted

Umm, actually his full name is Charles "Entertainment" Brown.

No! The criticism of the Dems isn't that they never win elections, it's that they don't use power to solve the problems that got us here. Elite impunity, concentration of wealth, the unitary executive. Winning is only step 1

The thing that really makes Minneapolis different, other than the fact that they straight up murdered someone, is that they've dropped all pretense that this is just about immigration. The state has declared war on its own people, or at least those people who live in cities.

Rinse and repeat across America...

I've just finished sending $ to all former City Paper staff! Feel free to help us meet this latest goal before the fundraiser closes:
