we cannot be a nation until the whole hell of the deportation machine, the family separation machine, the foul moloch that sustains Stephen Miller and grinds children into dust, until all of that is dismantled and the work of reparation begins www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

it's crazy that megyn kelly said pedophilia was ok if it's 15 year olds

Still haven't seen it reported in the state's paper of record, but the People's Lawyer Keith Ellison just put out a press release condemning this bullshit:

It is truly insane to me that my elected representatives march with an enthusiastic genocidaire and still think they are owed my support

Note to media: police arresting peaceful protesters singing “give peace a chance” is not protesters “clashing” with police. It’s the state violating the First Amendment rights of people upset that human beings who did nothing illegal are being held without due process and being fed maggots.

Tonight, the people of the Twin Cities were awarded the prestigious 2026 JFK Profile in Courage Award! Our neighbors were recognized for risking their lives to protect our neighbors and immigrant community members. 1/

C needs help covering rent again this month. I'll be matching donations up to the full amount, can we raise $700? venmo.com/u/meshmpls

thinking about this a lot today

In Sikh culture, when the racists started attacking us because they thought we were Muslims, we didn’t correct them and say we were Sikhs because the point is it shouldn’t happen to anyone. As a cis woman, I do not correct someone attacking me because they think I am trans for the same reason.

one joke my friends really do not like is when i pronounce Banger as if it’s a french word, with a soft G. but i figure if i just keep inflicting the joke on them they’ll get on board. long as i never give them the option not to

A lot of white people learned about the Tuskegee experiment during the pandemic and believe that is the reason Black people don't trust the medical establishment. This is not true. Black people don't trust the medical establishment because the Tuskegee experiment is not an outlier.

Reading about the MNGOP holding a moment of silence for Derek Chauvin gives me the same bodily sensation as seeing something too big move at the bottom of a deep hole.

Endless stories like this (read the thread; it’s great) Not saying it would‘ve saved us from our current tragedies, but I do wonder if kids ever learn about science in this way, or maybe backwards—tracing the development of a single useful thing & the investments of $, time, ingenuity to get there

At the Republican convention today they opened with a moment of silence for…. Derek Chauvin. No, seriously. That’s the party we’re up against. We cannot let them win any state races or take control of the House or Senate in November. They had a moment of silence for a convicted murderer. #mnleg

saw a truck for a company called Absolute Chimneys and I can’t stop saying that to myself as if I’m an English soccer announcer calling a free kick that sailed over the crossbar

This is a serious offer

Minnesota GOP convention just voted to stand for and hold a moment of silence for… killer cop Derek Chauvin. Can’t make this up.

even if she loses, using DSA, WFP, and Indivisible to organize for her nationally will dramatically strengthen that coalition into a significant counterweight to the corporate husk of the democratic party. we truly win even if we lose. plus downballot effect would. be off the charts!

I would like AOC to run for three reasons: 1. I think the D candidate in 2028 is strongly favored to win regardless of who it is 2. We need to elect someone who understands the moment and is committed to a new reconstruction 3. Of all plausible candidates I am most convinced AOC meets that bar

insane to me that @patagonia.com is suing incredibly impactful drag queen and climate activist Pattie Gonia for “harming their brand” is Patagonia not a brand for the LGBTQ+ community or for climate activists? because you’ve spent a lot of time pretending to be both.

Shadow pom

No guy worth his salt actually wants to do anything. And then drop a hot vegan girlfriend into the equation and he's saying he always wanted to visit Machu Picchu and become Texas senator.

I have obtained The Jacket

No matter how any specific primary or nomination goes, there will certainly be a large number of candidates who talk decent/good now, win by a wide margin in Nov, and still need a lot of continuous pressure day after week after month to take big bold steps going forward. Something to think about now

Trump got a Democrat do his dirty work for him.

I am on such familiar terms with Obama I can call him "BamBam" without getting in trouble

The person organizing this conference that Greg Bovino is speaking at is Martin Sellner, a neo-Nazi activist. Sellner, among other things, corresponded and agreed to meet with the man who went on to murder 51 worshippers at two mosques in Christchurch, NZ in 2019 www.theguardian.com/world/2019/m...

Ok this is a truly great tweet

One thing I wish people who spend all day reading about politics understood better is that your ability to change things on your own is quite small, but your ability to feel bad about things is effectively bottomless and you need to control it

do not. address it

look at him. he doesn't even have any money

Reminder to Twin Cities friends -- you can help out your neighbors on air quality alert days (like today) with some simple steps ("Fill the gas tank at dawn or dusk" is confusing wording IMO but means "don't fill up during the sunny times")

it degrades us to even have to comment on it. I hate this administration so much.

PSA MN: The air quality alert today is for ground ozone, and masks like N95s don’t protect effectively against that. The safest thing to do if you’re sensitive is stay indoors with the windows closed if you can

required reading. there were trans people who have known this the entire time and i've never faced such hostility from cis people when trying to tell them the facts. most of them didn't want to hear any of it. your concerns were not reasonable or fact based. it was a witch hunt.

This is seriously fucked. Like for starters they’re using commercial web analytics that are in no way in line with federal privacy disclosure requirements…
