No Kings includes Draft Kings

This is the neighborhood I grew up in. Please help keep our neighbors in their homes.

It blows my mind that the Democrats can't unify behind "let's not have a gestapo."

Giving somebody anonymity in a FEATURE WRITTEN ABOUT THEM is absolutely ridiculous unless they are like fleeing persecution. She doesn’t want to tell readers the truth, she doesn’t want to take responsibility for the ethical problems with what she’s doing, WHY are you promoting her?

I'm going to win.

They call it “persistent presence” and it’s a technique of war they have used in other parts of the world, notoriously in Somalia, which gives a new dimension to the cruelty of doing this to cities full of Somali refugees In some cases they’re literally using the same Black Hawks even

This was a complete surprise to me and I’m very honored to receive it.

“We’re running from seven in the morning to seven in the evening,” he said. “And even more. We still have some patrollers going out until like 11 or 12 at night.” ictnews.org/news/full-ci...

Seriously, team! I don't know what this Status Coup News account is, but it's looking like a resistance engagement farming account right now in terms of lots of uncorrected misinfo.

You can very clearly see this is county sheriffs and others brutalizing demonstrators now.

Getting word and video from whipple that there are mass arrests happening by state police and sheriffs against peaceful protestors now.

“Renee was not the first person killed, and she was not the last,” Becca Good said. “You know my wife’s name and you know Alex’s name, but there are many others in this city being harmed that you don’t know — their families are hurting just like mine, even if they don’t look like mine.”

Every instance of "AI democratizes the arts, you're classist and ableist and a gatekeeper for trying to stop it" is a slap in the face to the literally centuries of poor, disabled people making art on the margins and a crass lie in service of a machine that strips down and regurgitates dreams

this is the hennepin county sheriff’s office deputies, not the minneapolis police. the whipple isn’t even minneapolis

"No amount of professionalism and care ... can make a mass deportation system not be harmful to people's health."

This is amazing but missing alt text, so I'll do a thread with detailed alt text for each of the three pictures.

My neighborhood school collectively fundraised over $100,000 to support our neighbors with rent and bills this last month. Now we need to do it all over again for March. PLEASE HELP! Every family we're working to keep housed & fed has elementary aged children. gofund.me/aac122499

Can't say it enough, if you are going to build ANYTHING, you are going to be criticized much more than you will be praised. Do not be deterred. Build what you want to exist. Find your people and seek their counsel. Keep it moving.

A neighbor who's getting back on his feet had his car crashed into when Renee Good was murdered and he just got the vehicle back from the FBI after 4 weeks in evidence. Anyone want to match my $30 donation? www.gofundme.com/f/support-ph...

LOUDER FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK

Racism has a material impact on people's lives. I don't know what else to say. It leads to premature death on a daily basis.

BREAKING: 4 students at the University of Minnesota are currently chained to Morrill Hall, demanding that their school end all cooperations with ICE and establish itself as a sanctuary campus.

Amy Klobuchar running for Governor of Minnesota

if everyone could take on the “what if we just did the thing instead of waiting for it to happen” energy that much of minneapolis has right now, the world could be pretty good

If folks in other parts of the country are preparing for ICe Surge, part of the fabric of response has to include anti-fascist tow truck drivers. Recruit them now.

Oh gosh I love print media errors!

Stay home. Donate those travel expenses to community support orgs already here because, you know, we live here. standwithminnesota.com

The people of the city were nominated. The city enterprise has done shamefully little to protect at-risk residents from the Federal occupation.

💯

This is happening increasingly and I’m not sure the story is getting out there.

Thin culture will kill people. Don't let it come back.

The pivot to video is a tax on women's time and dignity, I will die on this hill.

I am certain that whenever someone posts about “gatekeeping art” or whatever, they’re talking about posting drawings online for clicks. They never mean arranging rocks in the back yard. They never mean whistling to yourself and finding a tune that makes you happy. They never mean napkin doodles.

There was a piece of writing (or podcasting?) recently about perfect victim narratives and how to talk about abolition responsibly when victims of state oppression don’t fit into them *and also when they do.* Does this ring a bell? Did you write it? Help a person with fascism-induced brain fog?

"Palestinian rights are yet again exceptionalized, their suffering trivialized, and their pursuit of justice forestalled by people who care more about reputation and expediency than law and justice."

Juliana Stratton is the obvious pick. I hate even having to weigh in here. It's plain as day, and the frontrunner is so bad. Folks, this needs to get turned around. Like desperately. Phone bank for Stratton, talk to your friends, anything, just please, Illinois, NO.

Bluesky is getting absolutely roasted on Twitter for their treatment of Palestinians which is really ruining their snarky meme campaign to get people over here and couldn’t happen to a worse company

Hey guys, I reported the Dezers connection to these ICE flights last October for @zeteo.com. Why are you not crediting me or Zeteo?

when i was a 16yo girl i thought i was an adult. coaching 12-17yo girls as a 28yo really hammered home how much i was wrong about being an adult at 16 and how obvious it is to actual adults that a 16yo is not an adult. if they say they cannot tell they are lying because they are a creep.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition. Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Yes. Lmao. Correct. Because they'd NEVER do THAT! *opens up NextDoor to complain about suspicious dark person in nearby abode*

A small love letter to Baltimore: This morning I drove by a giant pile of snow that had a sign stuck in the top that said Yes snow, no ICE. Then I saw a makeshift know your rights/whistles/zines distribution device.

We put on an all-Yiddish community production of fiddler on the roof in Philadelphia and cast member and local artist Sofie Rose Seymour created the most amazing show poster that ever was

The story is also double-bylined by women of color, which is noteworthy.

Appreciate that folks lift up the Panthers. Black groups pre-dating the Panthers were also doing community patrols. See one example here: nmaahc.si.edu/object/nmaah... Joshua Clark Davis's Police Against the Movement offers some other examples too.

Living in Minnesota right now means getting your heart broken every day, multiple times a day. Some days it also means having your faith in humanity restored. Please keep watching Minnesota, if you live elsewhere. Things are still dire.
