Alex Pretti was shot ten times after federal agents disarmed him.

Our South Minneapolis neighborhood mutual aid fund is $2100 short of what we need to cover May rent needs for immigrant families who are still catching up after ICE forced them out of work for months. If you want to chip in, venmo @karleekarleekarlee with a 🏠 and I'll get it to the right place.

Since most sexual assault cases never go to the courts, a reminder that 28 women have publicly said he sexually assaulted them. We have to get to a point where that matters more than a judge.

I just dug up my button from last fall. It’s very quiet in comparison to the shirt but it gets noticed (“what does your button say? OH!!! NICE!”)

If you get your books from Bookshop, they are offering FREE SHIPPING all Sunday in honor of Independent Bookstore Day Consider my book to order! The Instigators: How Black Women Have Been Essential To American Democracy (and What We Can Learn From Them) out in 8 days www.theinstigatorsbook.com

This is not a feel-good story. Veterans of the Vietnam war are, like, 70 at the youngest. They should not have to be working.

I agree that there's no place for political violence, which is why I think we need to abolish ICE and the CPB.

The city blocked off part of our neighborhood to tear down a building w asbestos. The teen said "Why did people use asbestos if it causes cancer?!" I told him people thought it was a wonder product and used it EVERYWHERE & told him how the same thing happened w radioactivity... and now AI.

Damn, this "Love Actually" sequel is dark.

Idk man, I think the journalists who have been traumatized the most were not sitting in that room tonight. The feds gassed the shit out of us, knocked us over, sent in the local PD to harass, detain, and hurt us, shot a teenaged photographer in the face and he lost an eye, and that's just in LA

Highly amused that the WHCD afterparties are happening despite the shooting. That's so fucking USA (pejorative).

Everyone immediately assuming that an attempt on the President is staged is probably not a sign of a healthy democracy.

God, the hubris. You party with Nazis, you deserve to be traumatized. Full stop. And if you get shot at, maybe you shouldn't party with Nazis. This shit isn't complicated. They're kidnapping people and putting them in camps. It's impossible to be shitty enough to anyone socializing with them.

I don’t think I can take another news cycle of Democrats solemnly tutting about how violence is never the answer while Republicans promise to put their political enemies and whatever immigrants they can find in a wood chipper

Forget opening a coffee shop if I am kicked out of academia. My newish (this was a goal way back in the day) is to be the kind of journalist whose reporting leads to changing policies, including creating a new nation (30:55). Amy Goodman fricking rocks. www.wnycstudios.org/podcasts/otm...

she has a gofundme but i hope she sues the fargo police for everything they’ve got www.gofundme.com/f/innocent-g...

My dad died 2 years ago and the gov is coming after me, the executor of his estate, for a PPP loan that he took out in 2020. I knew nothing about it so it’s a total surprise. And the fact that all these fuckers avoid paying taxes and all the Trumpers are robbing is blind just makes it so infuriating

They declined our attempt to post our statement in that Facebook group as well.

We still have schools open without any protections. More kids (and adults) get long covid every single day.

Both Austria and Hungary still have the children of the last crown prince in national political offices. The children. Of the last. Crown prince. My grandparents were farmers and a union electrician, yours? The emperor and empress of the Habsburg Empire.*

Zhang Shan won the gold medal for the mixed skeet shooting event in the 1992 Olympics. The International Shooting Union *immediately* banned women from competing against men.

Jackie Mitchell was 17 years old when she struck out both Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig in a single exhibition game. Babe Ruth said “I don't know what's going to happen if they begin to let women in baseball. Of course, they will never make good. Why? Because they are too delicate” before the game

These folks got me so much help for both my late mom and dad: Cathryn Reher & Laurie Hanson (or anyone at their firm) Long, Reher, Hanson & Price: 5881 Cedar Lake Road Minneapolis, MN 55416 Phone: 952-929-0622 Email: [email protected]

Pulitzer-worthy reporting here from Minnesota immigrant news @sahanjournal.bsky.social. 70+ children detained during Operation MetroSurge. 30 sent to Dilley. Two dozen held >20 days, a Flores violation. 7 still detained as of March 10. ~20 have been deported. sahanjournal.com/immigration/...

listen hun if you can't handle the Washington Post editorial board at their the Texas gerrymander "freakout" is "not a threat to democracy" you don't deserve them at their "Virginia plunges America deeper into the gerrymandering abyss"

I never cease to be amused by how this app has a community that hates the staff and a staff that hates the community and both sides are completely open about it this isn’t a retirement home it’s a Waffle House

You ever try to code switch at work and fail? 😂

Google Gemini assembles stories about purportedly factual events/questions in the same manner that it approximates an email or thank-you note: stringing together statistically likely words. That is not good.

I was very involved in grassroots gerrymander opposition and education starting in 2019, but this is the way. I hate it, but this is the way

ICE detained over 70 of Minnesota’s children - ripping them out of school, forcing them into inhumane detention centers, and traumatizing them forever. We need to bring all our babies home. Then, the federal government must repair and restore all the harm they’ve done.

we’re just $1700 away from this goal! www.paypal.com/pool/9owqDRD...

60 schools

Minneapolis residents are now able to apply for rental assistance funded by the City of Minneapolis. On February 5 and March 26, the Minneapolis City Council approved funding to support renter households after the devastating and continued impact of Operation Metro Surge. 1/

next time the MAC rep is at TAB bragging about how awesome MSP Airport is, they should be asked about this.

You guys. A goose is nesting under the Spoon Bridge and Cherry. This is our Romulus and Remus moment. We already became ungovernable. Now we become myth. #Minneapolis.

Quick reminder: Albuquerque friends, I'll be at @booksonthebosque.bsky.social along with @davering.bsky.social @marieparks.bsky.social @tangentgeoff.bsky.social on Thursday, April 23 at 5:30 PM for a reading and signing. The event is free, and no registration or purchase is required. See you there!

Cool, bro. I'm tormented by the fact that I once had the opportunity to push you in front of a bus, and I still don't know if I made the right choice. Seemingly not?

there was a Shiba parade in San Francisco and all the shibas wore yukatas it’s too much

Without starting a fight, may I just say that if you deeply and profoundly understand the need for human contact as a result of Covid, you might consider doing something to help the people still at high risk from Covid access it, instead of acting in ways that excludes and isolates them.

If the police were competent, Melissa and her husband could have potentially survived.

ICE gassed my neighborhood so much that I just found two more spent munitions on my block FROM JANUARY

Ice is still here just operating in different ways, like doing kidnappings on a Sunday night at 10 PM. Make sure you’re still connected to hyper local networks so you’re able to respond when neighbors need help.

I'm not joking when I say mRNA technology is more important than "AI" and it's a tragedy we're throwing billions into one while our government is aggressively defunding the other.

Someday, with luck and hard work, she will have a name too.

Personally I would consider whether repeated and constant exposure to a disease known to cause brain damage and cognitive/concentration difficulties might be, you know, doing those things.
