‪I helped organize boycotts of The Last Temptation of Christ and the art exhibition featuring "Piss Christ". Here's why I don't care that Donald Trump is attacking the pope.

Pope Leo is no angel.

“There was a kind of cognitive dissonance of having my lips and my embouchure so close to the barrel of what used to be a firearm." —flautist Jeremy Tatar on playing a flute made from surrendered guns by artist Pedro Reyes.

It's scary to think that if anything happens to Bibi Netanyahu, JD Vance would become president of the United States.

why yes, I'd like to listen to that grating voice spouting lies for an hour, sign me up.

The President is openly threatening genocide. A crime against humanity. He must be removed from office. The 25th Amendment must be invoked. If not, Congress has to do our damn job. Speaker Johnson, call us into session. War powers & impeachment. Remove this man from office.

The President of the United States is threatening to commit war crimes and wipe out a "whole civilization" — all because he started a disastrous war of his own making and had no plan and no strategy for how to end it. This is abhorrent, and the American people do not support this.

Seems we only realize we were living in a heyday after the fact. Sarah Hromack on digital museum publishing (incl. the Walker Reader) before the era of AI bots.

"Clearly, the tree of liberty also must be refreshed, year after year, by a new class of teenagers learning to wrestle truth from the same eternal questions." @deardara.bsky.social on living blocks from the site of Alex Pretti's murder during Operation Metro Surge: www.carleton.edu/voice/storie...

The Democrats’ text strategy makes me never want to donate to them again.

Can you _really_ call it a movement if you only can muster millions of protesters three times? Real @nytpitchbot.bsky.social material here.

“It’s the role of the artist to make the revolution irresistible,” Alsa Bruno told me about the work of Brass Solidarity, the street activist band he sings with and an integral part of the Minneapolis resistance to ICE. “By coming together in music...

Trump: "In Minnesota, it's very Somalia-oriented. These people come from a crooked country, disgusting country, one of the worst countries in the world. They come to our country -- low IQs -- and they rob us blind. Stupid people, and they rob us blind."

The state of Minnesota has sued the Trump administration, accusing its top law enforcement agencies of withholding evidence from the killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti.

This. Or I might just post a gif of dancing Ewoks at the end of that Star Wars movie.

We should probably just stop naming places after people.

Does no one know what "decimating" actually means?

Right on. Next up: the "American Spring" movement.

watch Markwayne Mullin's facial expression as Rand Paul confronts him for "never having the courage to look me in the eye and tell me that the assault was justified. Today you'll have your chance. Tell it to my face."

So I'm making news today: Levine v FAA minnesotareformer.com/2026/03/16/p...

Puffing Trump’s delusions about the economy as if they were on track until ten days ago is peak NYTimes soft-pedaling Trump’s furious unreality and both-sides-ing it with actual documentable reality

Minneapolis WE KEEP IS SAFE t-shirts/stickers site is NOW LIVE: we-save-us.cheddarup.com The shirts honor everyone who resisted ICE; all $ after shipping/making costs go to Lucy Laney school mutual aid in N Mpls. Buy as much as you want; you have to add shirts to cart 1 at a time (sorry). Please RT!

A Minneapolis woman who opposed ICE woke up to a drone outside her second floor bedroom window. A man delivering groceries to a suburban distro house for mutual aid recorded a drone hovering above the house. Whose drones and why? (1) www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

THE WORLDWIDE FLAG OF ANTIFASCIST RESISTANCE

we can all guess his last 14 words

I'm sure when Trump finally does die, his propagandists will fabricate some patrotic pap as his "last words." Wonder what his actual last words will be...

This is the kind of smarts Justin Fox (below) brought to his work with DOGE.

Project 2025 collaborators and number of YEA votes confirming Trump appointees: Jeanne Shaheen (NH): 54 Maggie Hassan (NH): 47 John Fetterman (PA): 46 Tim Kaine (VA): 39 Mark Kelly (AZ): 36 Jacky Rosen (NV): 34 Mark Warner (VA): 33 Ruben Gallego (AZ): 31 Amy Klobuchar (MN): 31

smh

Time once again for one of my favorite Tumblrs of all time

I'll never forget singing this song with hundreds of others at Renee Good's memorial at Powderhorn Park.

"There is more and more evidence emerging every single day of grave war crimes being carried out by the United States and Israel in Iran and Lebanon and across the region," says human rights lawyer Omar Shakir, executive director of @dawnmenaorg.bsky.social.

the only Minnesota Congress member to receive more funds from AIPAC than Amy Klobuchar is Angie Craig. They’ve both taken $1M+ more than Emmer. www.trackaipac.com/states/minne...

What is truly amazing is that Target was given an opportunity to help in Minneapolis and didn't even do it for optics.

A message from the Wonderwall

Love the real-time workshopping of this.

A reminder that Minnesota as a whole sends more revenue to the federal government than it gets back, and on a per capita basis Minnesotans contribute more revenue to the federal government than residents of almost every other state in the nation. www.visualcapitalist.com/cp/mapped-u-...

This has nothing to do with fraud. The agents Trump allegedly sent to investigate fraud are shooting protesters and arresting children. His DOJ is gutting the U.S. Attorney’s Office and crippling their ability to prosecute fraud. And every week Trump pardons another fraudster.

It’s not just Medicaid funding they’re withholding to MN. It’s food assistance, child care assistance, social services, job training, safety testing, public health, disaster relief. SNAP. Free lunch for kids in school. They hate us for loving our neighbors, and are collectively punishing us for it.

ACLU MN reported yesterday that the federal government filed sworn statements that there are 970 agents in Minnesota for Operation Metro Surge & that 407 agents will remain here in March. It’s important to note this is on top of the 190 agents that were already assigned before this surge started.

The people of Minnesota still need help with rent relief, you can donate directly here: www.standwithminnesota.com#mutualaid

As I high-fived parent patrols on ICE lookout at neighborhood schools this morning, it hit me: the Trump administration is systematically institutionalizing cruelty, and it's up to us, at the community level, to counter this on the ground. In MPLS, we're doing a hell of a job.

MS NOW Senior Contributing Editor Michele Norris joins MS NOW’s Lawrence O’Donnell to discuss new comments from former President Obama praising the people of Minneapolis for their resilience during Donald Trump’s Operation Metro Surge. President Obama made mention of the community band “Brass....

does anyone NOT "jump to recipe"?

Huh?

Today, Senator Champion and I had our bill heard in Judiciary committee to enable Minnesotans to sue for civil and monetary damages for constitutional violations by federal agents. We can’t move on from Operation Metro Surge without allowing those who were harmed to seek justice.
