I hope this is at least a little bit freeing for people: You don't have to listen to white commentators who won't call the SCOTUS majority criminals. They're not "experts" on the law or whatever, they're just white and scared. You can go ahead and mute them or tell them to shut the fuck up.

Come March with me in the 97th annual Northeast parade on Tuesday June 16th! After everything our community has been through, it will feel great marching down Central Ave and celebrating each other. mobilize.us/s/3TOOY5

For purposes of vanity, I am reposting this. For purposes of posterity, I beg you all to help me bring about the future highlighted below.

Update: Latonya Reeves has officially filed to run in the Democratic Primary against Ilhan. This means, according to our new Leave of Absence policy, she is officially committing malfeasance and must be removed from her party positions ASAP.

You watched my neighbors be killed and then continued to support the killers' leaders. Go fuck yourself with such vigor that future societies mistake you for America's Leading Pornographic Solo Actress.

hey there — have you donated to a democratic campaign & the candidate you donated to did some uno reverse shit on policy stance incredibly important to you? and did you do it through actblue? well — good news:

happy Pride Eve to all the people who are about to paraphrase this tweet from 2022 or repost it with my name removed as if it’s a thought they just had themselves

At the start of my terrorism studies course, I ask students what most terrorists have in common. They always say: 1- Mental illness 2- Religion. They are, of course, wrong. The two most common traits of violent extremists are: 1- Gender 2- History of domestic violence and online mysogyny.

Gee! If only we had another candidate that wasn't an ex-Blackwater schmuck !

Happy Pride Eve! I still have half of June Rent due. And food and meds and bills. Makes it hard to celebrate It would be real cool if Allies could show Queers MATERIAL support this year and you can start here! Every bit of help gets a Mox Picture! V:@/JKNotSoBad C:$/JKNotsobad PP:@/comfortingmoo

Look, Graham Platner may have enthusiastically signed up to murder people and gotten a Nazi tattoo, but at least he's also completely untrustworthy and too stupid to delete the accounts he uses to betray the person closest to him.

Separate post: Strength to your shield arm, Jersey. Fuck ICE. Love, Minneapolis

Hey question for everybody, why are we(in general) treating the white guy with a beard as the only electable person in the Maine Democratic Party when they haven’t had their primary yet Is that also a sign of misogyny that yall want to grapple with, or just gonna ignore it

If there is an alternative to someone with nazi iconography carved into their body, they can present themselves day of the primary and I would be interested, because I am not a fucking nazi. Fortunately there is someone else, right now. Today.

I’m willing to ask @andrealaflamme.bsky.social if she knows of any alternatives for Maine. I BET SHE DOES.

Okay, St. Paul Union Station. There is no reason for your heater to be blasting on May 30th. Also, I don’t care how historical you purport to be - get some outlets for folks to use.

People need to internalize that the Democratic Party is as much an existential threat to this country as the Republican Party, but it's probably going to be too late.

NOT COOL, BRIT. NOT COOL. I'M TURNING THIS INTO A SCOLD'S OUROBOROS FOR SCIENCE AND CERTAINLY NOT BECAUSE IT WOULD MAKE ME HAPPY OR ENGENDER A DESIRE FOR HAPPINESS WITHIN ME.

I don’t want to scare anyone, but basically every time I talk to a current or former government lawyer they tell me we are going to need a new Constitution. Because this one is inoperative.

South Minneapolis friends: ICE activity is high today. Please keep your eyes out.

NOW BRING US JONATHAN ROSS.

I need folks to engage with this video, and what it represents. (🧵) Sheri Biggs is a member of the United States Congress, and her views are not fringe. She is saying, out loud and on camera, that people who disagree with her party's goals of fascist subjugation should have no power. 1/7

JOEL DONGSTEEN IS MORE RIGHT THAN ANY OF US WOULD PREFER.

Another wild congressional story that in a sane world there would be riots in the streets about. Remember when the vaccines came out? How does one message about these? In my office, this came down to me, a mid level political flunkie, to figure out. 🧵

Oh yeah? Pulling out your eyelashes to make wishes *against* you.

conservative pundits (sneering): actually our christianity is more a set of ideological views about race and gender than anything resembling faith or observance everyone else: yes we know, it's not a secret

As an atheist, my image of the Christian god is of a biblically-accurate angel with countless wings, eyes, penises, and vulvae.

Coming soon to the Racket merch shop... limited run 👀

Summer in Minneapolis:

This is why I have neither pity nor mercy for any federal representative. Remember that they make the choice each day to prolong the world's suffering. Hundreds of thousands are already dead from their choices. They could act... and they do not.

Absolutely nothing is stopping John Cornyn, Tillis, Murkowski, & Paul from caucusing immediately with Democrats & giving them control of the Senate. The same is true of Thomas Massie & any 2 retiring GOP Reps in the House. It is a choice to continue caucusing with the authoritarian personality cult.

EVERYBODY CAN DO A DANCE IF THEY WANT TO

I AM SHOCKED I TELL YOU MARVELOUSLY AND IRREPRESSIBLY SHOCKED

one week ago today, brian o’hara was in front of the minneapolis city council, unable to explain to aisha chughtai why the police department was $20 million over budget this year as she went through line item by line item. and now he’s resigned as the police chief

Make no mistake: power and oppression is the goal. Not “family values” or whatever they dress it up as.

I'm not happy about writing this, but too many people I care about are hurting, and it's preventable. medium.com/@jakeorlowit... #Wikipedia

Of course, it is possible that she would have indeed testified anyway had this wiseguy not demanded they adjourn for Valentine's Day.

If you fucking hate consumer-facing "A.i." and what it's doing to our entire society, I recommend following these folks.

We're 8 people away from 500 followers! If you want to help us keep AI out of NYC public schools, or see how we're doing it so you can keep AI out of your schools, help us get to 500!

I just do not know how you read the trial results from after January 6th and come to the conclusion it is impossible to get a conviction. The trial was deliberately sabotaged on multiple fronts by the Democrats themselves.

Alright, after confusion about the badly explained previous poll, they’ve reset it and made things very clear. Megasota needs you. www.reddit.com/r/geographym...

DON'T YOU HAVE AN ACTUAL JOB TO DO, BETTY?

My fellow cis folks, The FCC is asking Americans to submit comments about whether the TV Oversight Management Board (TVOMB) should create new TV ratings to alert viewers to trans/gender content. Time to be an ally and tell the FCC absolutely the fuck not. It takes five minutes to do.

My congresswoman is so out of touch that she thinks her job is cruise director.

this graphic is brilliant messaging. the iconography of the minneapolis skyline in general is mostly only used by the mayor so progressive council members using it, esp with the mississippi river featured when the moratorium is an environmental win for the entire city is just so good, love to see it

Guys you might want to sit down for this. It turns out... look, take a breath, I understand this is hard for a lot of you... Democrats actually have tools at their disposal to push back and even inflict actual repercussions on Republicans who are criminally bad at their jobs
