In the wake of Charlie Kirk taking one to the neck nick Fuentes is attempting to go mainstream and take his spot as the voice for young republicans. Fuentes is a self described Nazi who leads a digital terror organization… This is about to be very bad if he goes fully mainstream.

I’m nervous about it! My lil dynamically disabled body has a lot of ways to potentially thwart my success at this ride, but I’m going to try my best, I know organizers have bail out plans & snacks to help keep us going, etc. It’d mean a lot to see folks at Painter Park at noon.

🧡💛Tomorrow is the big day!💛🧡 🧡We've raised $4200 of the $6k cumulative goal! 🧡🚲Ride logistics are in hand! 🧡 I'm officially resting up 🧡 Come gather & celebrate at Painter Park at noon tomorrow (Sun 9:21/25) 🧡Last minute donations appreciated❣️ 🧡💛I'm excited for this to kick off the Equinox💛🧡

Cast your EARLY VOTE TODAY for @dewayneformpls as your FIRST CHOICE for MINNEAPOLIS MAYOR and @omarfatehmn as your SECOND CHOICE for MINNEAPOLIS MAYOR! We're supporting an impressive group of pro-2SLGBTQ incumbents and candidates for the Minneapolis City Council!

One of the key ways you refuse to comply with fascism is by becoming even louder and more fearless in supporting vulnerable people. You SHOW that you are unwilling to throw the "undesirables" under the bus if only for self-preservation because under fascism you will also become undesirable one day.

Heartfelt gratitude to @rachmarie.bsky.social for Arboretum passes that made today possible for me & @phoenix-rights.bsky.social & @susshushsushi.bsky.social 1/2

I saw Becka Thompson creeping around the alley in our ward 9 neighborhood today. THIS REALLY HAPPENED.

BREAKING: Justice Gregory Carro has dismissed the first degree murder charge against Luigi Mangione in his state case, finding the DA put legally insufficient evidence before the grand jury. More TK.

anyway seeing them play tonight for possibly the last time ?

i know it is all intentional but boy howdy is it crazy-making to have ICE killing people in the street and watching the once “mainstream” media still carrying water for the idea that the left has a violence problem

korean reporting is nightmarish on the conditions Korean workers were contained in

Also, this has been a joint effort from about 50 folks behind the scenes who helped provide info & evidence, edit the draft, add and clean up signatures, etc. Regardless of how @dfl.org responds, this is already a huge organizing success. ✊🏻🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Update for signers: we'll be collecting signatures through the rest of the weekend and sending the letter and evidence to DFL Party Leadership on Monday morning! We are at more than 700 signers from across the state, including several elected officials. We are *truly* blown away, y'all! 😭💜🥰

Need gas to get to new job and would like snack money for the Twins game tomorrow for my kiddos for my birthday $danirockasota V: djamiempls

Really good episode about risk assessment.

Have you started an actual risk plan? Our guests Ken Montenegro and @chesaysthings.bsky.social also share resources and tools to take care of ourselves and each other. Check them out after listening to the episode! www.fascismbarometer.org/resources/ep...

Just so we’re clear: bad actors falsely jumped to blame trans people for the heinous act in Utah, then misinformation was used to point at trans “ideological” motives, & now there’s an unconfirmed story that the perpetrator had a trans partner(?) who is cooperating w/investigators. I am so tired.

Please share widely! www.gofundme.com/f/8q268-reco...

She did it! bsky.app/profile/cjze...

once again it is not fucking normal to lower flags in oregon for random member of the opposing political party who was born in illinois, lived in arizona, and died in utah. this is not a normal thing they're extending to a white supremacist, it's a special thing they're doing for a white supremacist

Spread calm. Tell the truth. Defend vulnerable people who are under attack. Getting stuck in a reactive mode is exhausting, and exhaustion can make us weak.

An instantly-leaked internal bulletin at the politicized federal law enforcement agencies just so happens to say what the Trump admin and its allies want it to say. This is how it works in authoritarian regimes, the cops are too busy with propaganda and repression to actually solve crimes.

the overall reaction to charlie kirk’s demise (online and in the media) treating him as a tragic loss when he was a repugnant white supremacist — and the pearlclutching over anyone who says as much — shows how and why this country is so much further to the right than we’re made to believe it is

I do think it’s worth noting that few people in this country contributed to the culture of political violence quite as much as Charlie Kirk.

In a normal country we would be talking about the fact Charlie Kirk was a fascist stochastic terrorist engaged in coordinating attacks on educators, children and others opposed to his fascist views. Reminder the media is willingly lying about Kirk and tpusa. Kirks legacy is white power terror.

whatever kind of love you need right now- I love you. Stay happy and hopeful for the good in the universe, and the goodness in you, to shine through. Every day is a new chance to give good to others. So give good, and get good. Love.

oh fuck this

The only question I have is: Where was all of this concern trolling about political violence after sitting legislators was assassinated in Minnesota by a far right member dressed in police cosplay?

Maybe now MN Republicans will vote for gun control measures? /wishful thinking

I want to note, the majority of the rhetoric expressed in this video is nearly identical to what Jacob Frey’s donors and conservative members of the Minneapolis DFL spout off daily This where they are politically. in this moment.

I'm endlessly disappointed in orgs & people repeatedly dismissing/excluding Marvina Haynes in the Minneapolis Ward 4 race. She has a proven record of autodidactic achievements within complex systems, & has brilliant successes despite a vacuum of resources. With resources & collaboration, she'd soar.

I've got the tumbler! It looks hand decorated. Would love Minneapolis to do its thing & help me return it

Minneapolis, can we find Ms Jensen?

Anyone know a Ms Jensen who lost her glittery pencil coffee tumbler? It's rolling around on the 17 I'm on & I can bike it to her tomorrow if we find her

So, Chicago, it's your turn now and man, I am so so sorry. Nobody should have to go through this. This is awful. This is fascism. Organize. Step up. Don't think other people will do it -- the might, maybe even they will, but they need you, too. Be like LA -- be sand in their gears. 9/

LA got on Signal and ICE-watch. LA's biggest non-profit advocacy groups like the LA Tenants Union widened their missions to incorporate saving the whole fucking city. LA showed up. LA filmed. LA *knew its rights* and handed out red-cards at every opportunity. 6/

Why? Well, for starters, 300 ICE agents have been moved to Chicago, leaving only about 300 in LA County which is about what we had before Trump took office. Why are they leaving? Because LA made their jobs TOO FUCKING HARD. LA Organized. LA sat on corners outside Home Depots with radios. 5/

Kinda wild that my favorite players in two sports have had MVP-caliber some of the best seasons of all time, then got injured and have played kinda mid (by their standards) I hope they both turn it up and still lead their teams on a deep playoff run

We’ve already seen the commingling of regular troops and paramilitary white supremacistS. We have already seen that the government is loosening restrictions in order to bring in to the ranks-other fascist groups and militias. It really cannot be overstated how dangerous this moment is.

Let me be very clear as an academic who has studied research and written about the far right and authoritarianism: the Republicans are openly setting the stage for civil conflict across the nation using regular military against democratically held populations of this country.

You cannot wait until some future date and hope that this will blow over by then you cannot wait to vote. You cannot continue going on like things are normal or that your status quo will not be disrupted if you do nothing. The disruption is already happening.

Centrists “Karl stop being so hyperbolic the republicans aren’t waging war against the population stop telling people the republicans are gearing up to wage civil conflict”. The republicans :

It’s a new paradigm: either you are pro-democracy or your pro fascist violence, which means you are either with us or against us. if you are against us, God help you if you are with us solidarity.

Monarch Festival at Nokomis Park remains one of the most—if not the most— thoughtful, intentional, amazing festivals in Minneapolis. Everything bilingual/trilingual due to ASL offerings & a bike valet, educational opportunities, integrating civic engagement/transportation causes/local projects...
