#OTD in 2016, Philando Castile was killed by a police officer during a traffic stop. Ten years later, we remember his life and recommit to advancing accountability, justice and safer communities. #TheMarchContinues

No joke it is actually straight up eerie to watch Dem leadership strive so hard to find a compromise center that they manage to trip over the cliff into doing actual far right discourse

This World Cup gave so much hope to Mexicans in Minnesota. It’s more than football. 💔🇲🇽 We started the year with our community facing a disproportionate impact from kidnappings by ICE from the occupation by the federal government. But this team made us proud in a year that targeted our community.

Since apparently this isn't making it beyond UK news yet, Rockstar petitioned a British court to section an 18 year old autistic kid under the mental health act for hacking their server and leaking a short GTA 6 clip a couple of years ago. No trial, no term of sentence, just locked up in hospital.

If this is true -- a very big if -- it is surely how McConnell would have wanted to go: exploiting the timing of the death of major figures (Scalia, RBG) for cynical partisan gain.

To repeat: "A.i." in the schools is child abuse. These companies want to turn your kids into incompetent losers who are addicted to their terrible products. Do not let them.

Paul Douglas writes that in the hot summers of the 1930s, thousands of Twin Cities residents slept outside along the shores of Lake Harriet, Bde Maka Ska, Lake Minnetonka (and presumably other lakes), or the lawns of the State Capitol Thousands of people who would be harassed by the cops today

The entire consumer-facing "A.i." industry is a fucking scam. Ban it from all your businesses and institutions.

I ran an absolutely 100% human, zero AI-involvement at any stage passage of my writing through an "AI detector," curious if it could really tell human from AI work, and it said my own writing was "84% AI written" then asked I wanted to pay to have it "humanized." So there's that to keep in mind.

Trump you ghoul! The biggest fireworks explosions ever that would’ve outshone the noonday sun is what your grandiosity required & it caused actual environmental catastrophe for the Black & brown residents of DC. You poisoned our air you motherfucker! People are elderly & disabled!

What could you create/make by next summer to lessen suffering in some part of your world? Let that question be your guide and hold yourself to making something of whatever size and impact by that time. Hold yourself to the commitment. No one else needs to know but you will.

A. People in DC did not know those fascists were planning to march. B. They marched for 15 minutes and then turned tail. C. People in DC would have been out there had they known they would be there. D. Do people know how people in DC (who actually live in the city) roll?

You don’t get to say ‘ICE Out’ during the height of the occupation by the federal government and then support policy that hands ICE more people to deport. Pick one.

Do white USians wonder how it feels like for non-white people to live in a country where the President is a full on racist white supremacist? Like where he announces every single day that you are inferior, unintelligent, and need to be eliminated from the country?

The women with Koren were accused of shoplifting—they deny it. ➡️Multiple studies show cops/security are more likely to approach Black shoppers. ➡️Shoplifting is in the top 5 arrest charges for Black women. ➡️Corporate profits & criminalization of Black women are part of the same system!

Im so exhausted by this pattern. Historians spend years in the archives to write detailed accounts of the past. Only for journalists, doctors, podcasters, and now cartoonists, to swoop in and get paid a lot of money to trot out the same work, "uncovering hidden histories" that are not at all hidden.

Hell yeah we are

On a related note, we need to retire forever the idea that polarization is bad. Some ideas are inherently polarizing. I think domestic abuse and spousal rape are bad. That's a polarizing issue, because there is no middle ground. Or at least, there shouldn't be, but American law pretends there is

I love this so much.

As Brett Story said, we have to reclaim a "grammar of the commons." This has to be an essential part of any current political project.

I am so honored to have helped support the publication of this beautiful book. The scholars and organizers who shared their knowledge and analysis despite violent attempts to suppress it have done us all such a service. Congratulations, @danaelkurd.bsky.social and all!

this is heartening!

US House District 5 primaries. I'm sure you'll all be shocked to hear I would vote for Ilhan Omar over the centrist losers running against her. naomikritzer.com/2026/06/30/p...

i’m in downtown minneapolis for a rally and press conference in support of the 15 minnesotans indicted by the federal government recently for their anti ICE work

Said differently, both Ezra & Matty have learned an investment in whiteness will always pay more than any moral commitment to stand with the oppressed. They'll keep laundering violent white supremacy under "viewpoint diversity" no matter how far the right pulls their center

it is truly incredible that this passes for intellectual rigor at Jacobin. astounding.

Couldn't have happened to a nicer consumer base💀.

Updated: Over the last 8 days, I'm counting 15 Democratic incumbents who have lost to a challenger to their left. —3 congressmembers (2 NY, 1 CO) —4 state senators (2 in NY, 2 in MD) —8 state house members (5 in NY, 1 in MD, 2 CO) Here's a thread for you to know about all 15 results:

He could strangle a teenager on camera and they would say he “defied a long-held tradition of presidents not doing that”

One liberal belief I'd like to challenge in my RL is that the moral imperative to be informed about the world is distinct from the moral imperative to make the world better. I feel like there's a real energy misallocation there!

I AM SO HAPPY TO SPEND MY TIME ON THIS EARTH WITH TRANS AND QUEER PEOPLE

re: Kean 1. depression is a serious illness and it's important to treat it as such 2. in most cases, it's good for workplaces to allow for time off for illness 3. constituents need representation, and if a rep can't be around for six months, they should resign.

If you want to support individual trans people in need, you can find them through hashtags such as #TransCrowdfund and #TransMA.

Today is a particularly good day to donate money and/or time directly to trans people in need or to trans-led groups. Here's one great list of trans-led groups around the US: www.autostraddle.com/this-trans-d...
