lol, it’s a lot easier to form a tenants union when everyone in the building is in the same group chat

Doesn't sound like a "draw down" to me

A lot of folks doing this monitoring and intimidation may also be the bounty hunterd that were reported on early in the occupations. Someone else has said that it’s like when the US pulls forces from a region but leaves contractors, less accountable to the people.

Really do not like how many reports myself and others are getting this morning of observers being disappeared in southside.

“The truth is most of his material was wrapped in affection. The one exception was his frequent use of a derogatory term for gay people that was dated and unnecessary.” So close to getting it: THE SLURS WERE NEVER NECESSARY www.startribune.com/review-dave-...

It’s carnival time, and everybody’s having fun. youtu.be/QNPRg0nxnpk

I still think the best way to think of the ending of US AID is as the single worst genocide committed by any one US presidential administration. even given all the horrific things the US has done, it's not really that close. 750k dead already; expected 14 million.

The best of the oblique strategies

If agents really are leaving MN, @keithellison.bsky.social should invite them to sit for sworn statements about what they did here. Give them an opportunity to be truthful before any arrests in exchange for leniency at sentencing. Start with Homan before he leaves.

I think about this all the time.

I keep catching myself thinking that the worst is over. Even though I know better. Why?

Here in Pittsburgh, we've been know to sing the theme song at protests.

Finally got my hands on a long throw lens for the Eiki Stadium Projector I bought at U of M surplus a year ago for $20. I've got 10,000 lumens, a grudge, and I'm ready to become the boy mayors new least favorite person 🫡

48 years ago tonight

GoFundMe, mutual aid, etc etc etc. They're making us do fucking gig socialism.

Someone nominate Ashley for a MacArthur

So it was a 17 yo Black kid that re-raised the Stonewall flag after the adults did milquetoast shit with a separate plastic flag pole. If we’re not willing to get in some trouble we are cooked people.

At the U, inquiry and academic freedom for most topics; censorship and chilled speech when donors and politicians complain — from @mgallope.bsky.social, UMN chair of the College of Liberal Arts Assembly

For poets, but ALSO songwriters, zine-makers, or anyone interested in effective, creative communication (even if you don't think of yourself as a creative writer, this stuff is relevant to speeches, op-eds, social media content, and other narrative-oriented advocacy work). And it's for a good cause.

my fam was lucky enough to see a statue of him in Dublin last summer and I have thought about his words a lot as of late “…the deep sympathy for the slave, and the strong abhorrence of the slaveholder, everywhere evinced… the spirit of freedom that seems to animate all with whom I come in contact”

The best #ValentinesDay

If you see a “person taken here” sign, will you take a pic and send it to me with the location you took it? I’ve got a plan.

ICE kidnapped a neighbor in Phillips today along with others in MN. They are still the same rogue, abhorrent, & illegitimate organization meant to terrorize & separate families. As I said yesterday, I am still asking the community to remain cautious & vigilant. We still need help. Jason Chavez 1/

really thrilled to see this iterate over the years. I have the original precinct one, I have the MPS schools version, and now I"m gonna need this one to round it out.

My architecture column today. "To show off these structures that are being developed in Chicago, I think it’s a really beautiful art," Chicago Architecture Center Chief Marketing Officer Lauren Bakos said. "And it’s sad that it’s kind of a dying one."

OMG Munson in the Liam hat.

Monarca is requesting support in Shakopee asking people to join their local patrols there because it’s “very active” during this supposed draw down.

Nothing fails like success. —Barbara Johnson

Do you see how you have shown you can replace the need for a whole ecosystem of agencies and orgs that make it harder than is necessary to ensure all residents keep their housing? Do you see you’ve just flipped the table and you could leave it overturned?

They murdered a child. This is why we stand up and protect our neighbors from being sent to their concentration camps.

Nice little fundraiser for you pedal sickos. deathbyaudio.com/products/raf...

This is the report card for every elected official at least through November elections

I’m seeing waaaay too much past tense around here.

And that's ignoring people they put on other flights, such as children.

Strange victory, strange defeat

This is inspiring. Things we could build using new economies of technology: • letter-sized letterpress presses for home, hobby and children • practical type casting machines using 3d printing or cnc pantograph • personal high quality book scanners • Teach People About Type and Printing Generations

Someone create a photo gallery of midwesterners in pajamas and robes telling the paramilitary troops to eat shit

The fucking chaos @governorwalz.mn.gov is allowing in our streets is unconscionable. All our tax dollars to the state and local police and all they do is let ICE play GTA in real life on our streets and then pick up the pieces after they've maimed and vandalized our neighborhoods. Shame.

This is why Minnesotans are begging folks outside the state to keep talking about us. Please don’t let the world forget we are still in danger.

Normalize the idea of the Legal Observer apparatus being used to track MPD once the surge is over.

Sarah Nina Billie Ella. In that order.

A parent at my kids’ school was abducted a few hours ago. Please help us help the family with legal expenses and care for their elementary school son (who doesn’t even know his dad was taken yet 💔): gofund.me/20a5b26ab

another abduction just took place at the hennepin county government center in minneapolis iceout.org/en/reportInf...

We tried to tell you this would happen and you didn’t believe us

@governorwalz.mn.gov Please consider a National Guard escort for families and 24/7 presence surveillance at the school so Liam and his school mates can go to school.
