Former counselor to RFK Jr’s predecessor:

A woman protesting outside the ICE facility in Broadview, Illinois, was brutally assaulted by goons who used mace and sting balls on her.

You cannot understand US politics without understanding racism. It's impossible.

Donations to support her sons Elijah & Peace: SBIGBILL1016 (CashApp) Minneapolis, I know there's a lot of support needed these days, but let's be sure we affirm that Mariah's life matters. Say her name. Support her family. Seek accountability & change.

Black Lives Matter. Still & always. We will NEVER let a petty politic tell us otherwise, make us timid to say it with our chest. They say we only show up when the police kill somebody in our community. That’s a lie. - Mariah’s Life Matters.

"Their goal is to instill fear, to make you feel helpless, hopeless, to break you down. Don’t let them. Educate yourself. Organize. Speak truth to authority. Because the story’s not written — the pen is in your hand.” Dan Gilroy, creator of Andor

housing in action inviting a candidate who didn’t even file to get on the ballot to participate in a mayoral forum makes no sense. howard dotson never filed, why was a write in candidate invited, @housinginaction.bsky.social?

One of the key ways you refuse to comply with fascism is by becoming even louder and more fearless in supporting vulnerable people. You SHOW that you are unwilling to throw the "undesirables" under the bus if only for self-preservation because under fascism you will also become undesirable one day.

When your ops are so dumb you legitimately laugh out loud

Hakeem Jeffries voted for Charlie Kirk Day but still isn’t sure if he’ll endorse Zohran Mamdani. This is why the approval rating of the Democratic Party is lower than Trump’s or the GOP.

These klan rallies for Charlie Kirk are a thing to behold in 2025.

Yall Democrats owe Sam Husseini an apology and amends.

I wish yall had at least a little moral, values or 1st amendment consistency, even a little or shame or contrition, something, but yeah Jimmy Kimmel www.newsweek.com/full-list-re...

I don't think pointing out the fascists' 'hypocrisy' is a good use of time. It's not hypocrisy, it's hierarchy. They actually do believe that they have the right and obligation to dominate you because they are superior to you. They are using their power not being hypocritical.

Very telling example of ideological blindspots. Dylan Roof not part of the extended MAGA cinematic universe for reasons you can figure out for yourself.

the type of motherfucker who would use a tragedy as a pretext to remove you, his plan all along, then gaslight you about him preserving your dignity by sweeping and disposing of all your possessions, under threat of police, thats the type of motherfucker we are talking about

I the neighborhood church's pastor crying today bc she couldn't get the Mayor's office or City to help a woman retrieve all of her immigration paperwork that was thrown out by the city after the shooting.

We're stuck in an endless loop where Mayor Frey is the indignant "not on my watch, hell no to encampments" candidate even though we've lived through his two terms of failure on that issue. www.startribune.com/shootings-cr...

public housing is good policy! it made NYC under LaGuardia a revolutionary city (fuck Robert Moses always and forever though). my grandma lived for decades in public housing and raised my mom on a seamstress’s salary. She retired and could afford her life, even on a fixed Social Security income.

This. Not all affordable housing HAS to come from the private sector. We could, with our tax dollars, just build housing. The city of Minneapolis, or the Met Council, or the state, could just go and build apartments in underused/undeveloped land.

wait, do we need "affordable housing" or do we need public housing? They convinced yall to excise public housing from your brain (the power of anti-Blackness in the American politic) even though public housing exists and is successful, often beautiful, ALL OVER THE WORLD.

Liberals have to take accountability for their part in this terror - when you demurred that Defund the Police was a "dumb" politic (despite police giving you ample pragmatic reason to defund and ample warning they would be the lance of right wing authority) ...

What's being "protected" is not "free speech" but rather the RIGHT for white men to be white supremacists in public without any criticism or any consequences. I hope that's clear.

I’m proud to sign this letter in response to transphobic behavior by leadership of the Feminist Caucus. Transphobia has no place in our communities! I’m committed to building a welcoming park system that ensures the safety of our trans neighbors is prioritized. Let’s continue standing in solidarity.

The @newrepublic.com actually does very useful and helpful REPORTING. How about @propublica.org? Excellent. The @51st.news is doing excellent actual reporting. So is @thetriibe.com in Chicago. There are so many other places to get actual useful news.

As a Black American who loves baseball, this why we think baseball don't love us

Feel like I’m going insane with the revisionist history that Charlie Kirk fostered open debate. He chilled speech and his targeting of professors for wrongthink led to threats, harassment, and being forced out of their jobs. His legacy is chilling speech right now, about him

as soon as there's evidence the shooter's identity isn't easy to weaponize things magically become complicated

Perhaps Frey is as nasty petty and vindictive a man as Rev McAfee. Imagine that. Let that sink in.

I’m disappointed to see that Mayor Frey refused to sign the Council’s action to deny two contracts run by an individual who threatened council members and made homophobic and sexist remarks towards the body. Refusing to sign our motion to deny these contracts is harmful to our LGBTQIA+ community.

You can sense the deflation of the fascists now that this guy has been identified as the shooter.

I want you all to just watch how quickly mainstream media moves on from this story now.

man they really didn't give a shit about that guy. as soon as it was clear they couldn't use his death to launch a purge they started to treat it like a nothingburger

“Flags lowered for the death of the worst of white folks is pretty on-brand for this great again place. We are not in the midst of a coup, or a dictatorship. This has always been an offering under the guise of decorum.” - Kiese Laymon

“..Kirk had moxie" Man, get the fuck out of my face with that bullshit! Right now, before you get punched

Meanwhile, important things happening, important power to the people - via Reuters "Nearly 200,000 people across France participated in the movement, a mobilisation outgoing Interior Minister Bruno Retailleau described as "significant"

I knew the punditry would be embarrassing today but my goodness. It's way worse than I expected.

Ezra Klein isn’t theorizing Charlie Kirk. He is theorizing politics. And he is saying that Charlie Kirk’s brand of white supremacy was a good way of doing politics. I hope you all recognize now that Ezra is a total fucking ghoul

Don't let politicians define political violence, they will usually exclude the kind of political violence that impacts you most.

It's simple. They see themselves in him. They do not see themselves in his targets.

Bruh, what are yall doing?

Jesus christ what is wrong with Democrats

No elected official Democratic party will be as cruel about Kirk's death as Mike Lee was about the death of Melissa Hortman. wisconsinexaminer.com/2025/06/17/s...

*stands up to to defend GenX…sits down* 😔

no

I have no idea what white people are talking about right now. The warnings that the fascists will "use this" to do more violence. WHAT WON'T THEY USE? You've watched them deploy the US military on US soil using bullshit pretexts. What even are you talking about?
