come to bruhaven on sunday!!

Happy Free Speech Day at the U where all the faculty were advised to hold classes only online because the Turning Point Tour's still coming to campus

This is completely insane

Just got an email from a scam academic journal asking if I wanted to "explore new advances in White Psychodrama" and it's just got me like: buddy, I can watch the news myself.

Education is more than job training.

I wish there was a rapture and that it really did take all the people who think they’re gonna be raptured so we can just move along without them

To be clear: this entire “we’ve got to run more pro-lifers” insanity is because literally a week ago polling showed that Democrats would prefer politicians like AOC and Mamdani over Jefferies and Schumer by, let me emphasize this, a 20 point fucking margin. www.politico.com/news/2025/09...

John Wall recently joined Nextdoor, and his first comment is support for the candidate, Becka Thompson, who has made racist campaign remarks about a city councilmember, apologized for that, then made racist remarks about a different city councilmember of color.

“What fascisms old and new have in common is they tend to look to women to fill in the gaps that the state misses." And, I'd add, they get women to fill these gaps by making patriarchy's coattails the only way means by which women can achieve security or esteem. www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...

Goodnight, all. May we all know moments of peace and sun-warmed bliss like this adorable ocean potato I saw today.

the Brazilian right is attempting to pass measures through the legislature to shield Bolsonaro and other legislators from the legal consequences of the failed coup, for which Bolsonaro was recently sentenced to 27 years. these photos are of the massive protests in response.

AHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am so fucking mad. These freaks are already sending terroristic threats to CLA departments causing some classes to go online. Fuck. These. People.

The cops do not interact with Black people the way they do with white people and yet I had people screeching at me for a fucking week about how I should want the FBI to come to my house. You don’t understand what it’s like and it’s embarrassing when you speak over us.

"Hopelessness is a form of silence, of denying the world and fleeing from it. The dehumanization resulting from an unjust order is not a cause for despair but for hope, leading to the incessant pursuit of the humanity denied by justice...

Paulo Freire for you this morning: We need to say no to the neoliberal fatalism we are witnessing at the end of [the 20th] Century, informed by the ethics of the market, an ethics in which a minority makes most profits against the lives of the majority. In other words, those who cannot compete, die.

I’m so excited to be @mfelocal59.bsky.social's first choice for Mayor! Equitable education is a human right that all of our children deserve. As Mayor, I’m committed to advancing public education by fighting for the funding our public schools need to ensure students and educators can succeed.

there is still no better time than now than to cancel your washington post subscriptions if you for some reason still have one

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.

we're going to win

this exists it is called thinking

Jason has always cared for their community, now it’s time to care for them. Join in contributing to their go fund me as they are recovering from as sudden medical emergency: gofund.me/9b0a20f47

Just got a great set of emails from the FBI.

Organizing with @supplydepotmpls.bsky.social is a highlight of my life. This week alone, we gave out over 100 tents for distro in Minneapolis alone. But we wanted to make sure St. Paul wasn’t forgotten this week, so we partnered with some St. Paul distro people to get tents and supplies there too

i went early voting with my councilmember katie cashman. proud to vote for her again for a full term to continue progressive work in ward 7! my ballot - mayor: 1) dewayne davis 2) omar fateh 3) jazz hampton ward 7: 1) katie cashman 2) corey ryan vest (1/2)

moments ago, ice agents again came out of the broadview detention/“professing” facility to escort a silver suv out of the lot. one of the agents picked up and threw congressional candidate kat abughazaleh to the ground.

that's right.

Early voting starts today! Get out to vote by Nov 4. We deserve an affordable city that’s accountable to us. We'll achieve that by ranking the slate for change: myself, @dewayneforminneapolis.com, and @jazzformayor.bsky.social. #DontRankFrey How to vote early: vote.minneapolismn.gov/voters/vote-...

So jealous of missing hikers recently

it’s the first day of early voting in minneapolis. i hope you will be ranking omar fateh, dewayne davis, and jazz hampton for mayor. it’s time for new leadership @omarfatehmn.com @dewayneforminneapolis.com @jazzformayor.bsky.social

We can see this in how folks are pushing back hard against even the barest hint of disagreement with horrible fucking ideas like "RSVP online for a protest," as if we should sit the fuck down and let our betters decide our path to liberation. As if we don't know how best to deal with the moment.

What we're seeing in the "don't sign up for protests" discourse is what Paulo Freire described as the convert's failure to trust the knowledge of the oppressed. As the convert tries to stand in solidarity with the oppressed, they refuse to let go of a world where they were the authority by default.

Crashing out

The Third Reich didn't last 1,000 years. Pinochet was ousted with a referendum. And the US isn't exactly dealing with the smartest, most competent fascists. Those of you insisting that 2025 is forever need to read a book, touch grass, go to therapy, anything other than trying to make others quit.

And I did 🤚🏼

Thank you to Wedge Live for having me! We launched from a great local business, Disco Death Records and Coffee, and had some fantastic conversations about making our city more affordable and accessible to all of us. Watch the full video here: youtu.be/9BJRjiGO14Y?...

I'm in for $50. Match me, y'all

ICE shot and killed a man in the Chicago suburbs last week. In the days since, we've seen a laundry list of escalating violent behavior from the feds: reckless driving, destroyed property, dawn raids, intimidation and threats against reporters, witnesses assaulted and threatened with pepper spray.

Husband just texted me there is an active shooter on campus at UNCW right now. They are on lockdown. This is the third time this has happened to him on a college campus since we've been together, including Virginia Tech. America 2025.

I can’t find my ass with my own two hands, you can’t hold me ACCOUNTABLE

We need an assault weapons ban in Minnesota. 60% of Americans support it, and Minnesotans want to get it done. Call your State Senator. Call your State Representative. It’s up to us to come together and make it clear that this has to be the top priority. We CAN do this.

point me to the spreadsheet of their names please? Where exactly was the check-in table for the march on Selma?

YOU. ARE. WHITE.

We served over 151 million (!) free meals to students last year, saving families an average of $1,000 per student. Students should be able to focus on the classroom, not on where their next meal will come from. We’ve made that a reality in Minnesota.

It was the dumbest of times. And it was also still the dumbest of times.

I cannot believe what an embarrassment of riches we have, mayoral candidate wise, Mpls! We have NO EXCUSE not to do this y’all 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

The major American newspaper is the Strib. Steve Grove should figure out how to find himself without humiliating the rest of us.

Let me get this straight: you get cancelled for calling them fascists and get investigated for being anti-fascist

I’m 1) Fateh, 2) Davis, 3) Hampton “Two of the biggest ongoing issues in the city are homelessness and policing, and on both Frey has been consistently performative, ineffective, and cowardly.” Good advice from Naomi: don’t wait around. Donate to and/or volunteer for a candidate who isn’t Frey.
