This is good. Although it should be everyone, not just Black people, who take a stand.

Creepy AF

We don’t talk enough about how the Trump admin has just removed women and people of color from all the front lines of government.

It’s World Press Freedom Day today. Hats off to all the journalists out there who are keeping us informed. Keep up the good fight - we need a strong independent media more than ever, and in the U.S., it’s not easy going these days.

Glad I renewed mine recently.

Sudanese creatives are navigating major challenges, but they are also reshaping the country’s fashion scene. Designers are blending heritage and craftsmanship with contemporary ideas, while working to rebuild supply chains disrupted by conflict.

My number one priority is a functioning democracy. If Democrats can’t commit to that, we need a new party. Not sure if new leadership is enough, frankly.

We’ve cut not only the “I” in DIME, but also the “D.” It was a deliberate choice. Thanks for nothing, MAGA, DOGE, and the rest of you who worked so hard to hurt America while wrapped in the flag.

I needed this.

Will MAGA voters ever catch on to the reality that the “America first” promise was always just an act?

There's been an explosion at the gate of the U.S. Embassy in Oslo. Nobody was hurt. The police has searched the area and there's no other explosives. Suspects are at large and police is searching for them. It is too early to say who and why this happened. www.nrk.no/norge/eksplo...

Ramadan Mubarak to all my Muslim friends (and all who celebrate). I’m sorry so many of you have to put up with bigots like Randy Fine, Tom Emmer, Laura Loomer and others who spout such hatred.

Some good news!

Proud of these Americans who are using their Olympic platform to speak out for human rights and rule of law.

I still periodically watch this when I need a pick-me-up.

Happy Anniversary to those who celebrate cat attorneys.

I don’t like armed thuggish goons kidnapping, assaulting, and executing people on the street with no regard to American law or with any sense of morality. Bigger question: what’s wrong with this guy and others? WTF is wrong with them that they think this is remotely acceptable?

The interview with a family (legally in the US!) hiding in their apartment with windows covered and lights off for two months while ICE sits outside is especially heartbreaking. Is this Nazi Germany or suburban Minneapolis? WTF are we doing?

This woman is an American hero. I hope her video will at least wake people up and reign in this illegal terror.

Can we have some accountability NOW please?

How much worse does it have to get until democrats (and Republicans!!) in Congress DO something?!

Yikes

Because these international grocers need your support now more than ever, especially during these times, here’s a guide to the international grocers of the Twin Cities that I wrote for @racketmn.com: racketmn.com/guide-intern...

American Indian Movement (AIM) patrol trucks have been spotted around NE and folks are flagging them as suspicious and giving them unwelcoming glances because they don’t know who they are. This is the AIM logo and flag, which you might see on their trucks. They are friends!

PTA moms are the new wine moms!

19 years old. Where was he radicalized?

Is Your Democratic Rep On This List? Last summer, these 75 Dems voted with MAGA Republicans to "express gratitude to ICE." These corporate Democrats then called for greater state and local collaboration with ICE fascists. Most of them are running for re-election. Some for US Senate. Vote Them OUT.

BREAKING: Here’s the 60 Minutes Segment Trump and CBS News Executives Don’t Want You to See Hours before it was set to air last night, CBS News executives pulled the segment, but Canada’s Global TV app received it prior to broadcast. www.thereset.news/p/breaking-h... Watch, RePost, Post, Tweet, Send

In late 2020 a Chinese man called Guan Heng travelled to Xinjiang with our BuzzFeed map of detention facilities to provide ground truth for our work - he provided the first corroborating evidence for many sites. He escaped to the US - then ICE detained him. www.wsj.com/world/china/...

Holiday carolers are protesting Home Depot’s association with ICE 🎶 We don't want no more deportations 🎶

this, *this*, is the greatest crossover of all time

The coordinated nature of this—none are facing voters in 2026—means that either Schumer approved it or failed in his job as Senate Majority Leader to stop it. Dems voting "no" get zero credit until they demand a change in leadership. Schumer out as Leader, Durbin out as Whip.

Feeling this tonight.

Tell me again how immigrants are the ones making us unsafe?

“woke” is when you acknowledge that black people have contributed to the united states

I really don’t need to read a debate over whether or not women “ruined” the workplace, NYT.

LAPD knows who the journalists are. That’s why they’re shooting them! How about cops just stop shooting journalists (and everyone else, too, for that matter)?

This, 💯

APS is launching an evening hot meal program to support students and families during the federal government shutdown. Starting Thu, Nov. 6, free hot dinners will be served Mon-Fri from 5:30-7:30 p.m. at Wakefield, Washington-Liberty and Yorktown. Learn More: www.apsva.us/community-meals

Count me in as someone with a strong pivot towards the Arctic, although more on the geopolitical side (albeit with an eclectic professional and academic background). I’m excited by the expanding interdisciplinary connections being forged and new approaches and discussions underway.

Are these new USG talking points? That’s going to make 250 birthday messaging a bit complicated…

I just poured Diet Coke into a mug of cold coffee and took a swig, if you’re wondering how my evening is going.

Why?

Lena Leimgruber at Umeå University thinks literature and the arts put the human into focus and provide an important perspective in Arctic discourse. "Literature can change you if you allow yourself to be part of it," she says to High North News. www.highnorthnews.com/en/lena-leim...

My god. “Watson said she saw agents dragging residents, including kids, out of the building without any clothes on and into U-Haul vans. Kids were separated from their mothers…’It was heartbreaking to watch…seeing kids coming out buck naked and taken from their mothers, it was horrible.’”

A moment that calls for collective action… to reject this transparent attack on academic freedom.

Really happy with this little cookbook I found in a zine box at a small-town indie bookstore. Good food, shop local, distract from the news? Sign me up! Next up: party in your mouth cake and mint julep sorbet.

Is it really only TUESDAY?!?

Grateful for museums that refuse to whitewash slavery, and that continue to highlight the stories of all Americans - including those whose historical experiences are under attack by revisionist forces.
