Rather be poor and not famous than have anyone question in twenty years where I stood on human rights, or if I was afraid to take a stand against evil.

Target has shown that its leadership can change course. But it still refuses to call for an end to ICE’s occupation of the Twin Cities. Until Target stands with its own community, we’re asking members and allies to shop local instead. shopsmart.aft.org

I'm an attorney who lives in Hennepin County. You shouldn't vote for Anders Folk unless you want a Republican Hennepin Co Attorney. You're allowed to be a single-issue voter in this race. Vote for the person who will prosecute ICE. Vote for Frazier.

The link seems to be broken so here is a different one. Thank you to everyone who has donated!

Rep senate candidate Tafoya thinks that kidnapping a 5-year-old child in Minneapolis, separating him from his family and sending him off to a concentration camp in Texas is a commendable activity. bsky.app/profile/atru...

“Racist attempts voter fraud” is both accurate and succinct

Apple: ~$2.2 billion Nike: $986 million FedEx: ~$800 million Amazon: $640 million General Motors: $500 million Giant corporations are raking in millions in tariff refunds and getting even richer. But remember: corporations passed tariff costs on to you. Where's YOUR refund?

The most painful budget cut was firing the person in the mayor's office whose job it was to tell him not to do this.

wow: Marianne reports for @truthout.org that a high school social studies teacher was investigated by LAUSD's Student Civil Rights office in part for a class assignment that included one of my articles for Teen Vogue on the modern history of solidarity between Ireland and Palestine.

FUCK ICE is a winning message. And I don’t think many in the media realized how broad support for that message really is. Like, who did you think the Lutheran ladies holding clandestine no-phones ICE resistance and mutual aid meetings in church basements were gonna vote for???

my buds and i are linking up to do a training series for Minnesotans that want to help change the narrative this election season by creating short video. a lot of us resist creating video content, but the algorithm thirsts for it and our opponents have a lot of ad money we need to compete with.

Why did Peggy win? The MN Resistance WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER.

If, as a candidate, you cannot understand the courage the folks of the Twin Cities (and around MN) showed when faced with government terror and oppression, you will never get my vote.

I want medical scientists and doctors to lead recommendations about public health, not conspiracy theorists. I know this is an echo chamber, but I also know vaccine skeptics on the far left. Get your kids vaccinated.

Multiple ICE agents and vehicles seen at the quarry tonight. Let’s make sure we’re getting out and keeping each other safe while voting tomorrow.

Remove them from power. While we still have a chance to one day undo the damage.

Science continues to show RFK Jr. is a dangerous nut case. Link: buff.ly/fvPcSSB

"I would never thought the United States would act this way" - Nunca Pensé featuring Mariachi Arcoiris is available on all streaming platforms

Violence thrives in silence. The Senate confirming Todd Blanche — a man who has treated the Epstein survivors like shit — in the silence of the middle of the night is an act of violence.

If the U.S. can't afford to take care of its veterans, then we can't afford to go to war. That's how @maurasullivan is feeling after Congress proposed to cut veteran disability benefits for tinnitus & sleep apnea. Navy veteran @rebeccafornj07 speaks firsthand to the importance of this care.

Frey took office in 2018, which means his first budget was the 2019 budget.

Police in Winona Minnesota are stunned after EVERY SINGLE ONE of their Flock cameras were suddenly removed in a single night. The people don't consent to a surveillance state

WTF…after all we have been through in this state. Tim Walz?? @amyklobuchar.com?? @smith.senate.gov?? WYA??

If you aren't angry then you aren't paying attention.

On this day in 1944, the Gestapo found Anne Frank and her family in their Secret Annex. Her diary stands as a warning against hatred and persecution. Eighty years later, we should recognize the warning signs before it’s too late.🙂‍↕️

Minneapolis

Filthy dirty Minneapolis with all the smelly trees or whatever he said.

chopping it up with the transphobes before the Fire-Fever game on Friday really hammered this home: they want to endlessly "debate" abstract gender concepts because they have absolutely no way to implement any kind of sports-gender policy that doesn't require a whole lot of child genital inspection

Beavers are the best. The music added to this reel makes it even better.

I work at a public library. People who want to use AI seem to have no trouble doing so. People who don't want to use AI have a harder time. I crowdsourced and then finalized this document "How to disable or avoid intrusive AI" and then gave it a short URL: notoai.org Please pass along if it's useful

"THE FUCKING PEDOPHILE-IN-CHIEF IS NOT GOING TO PROTECT YOU" This is the most patriotic, neighborly, First Amendment American ass shit. I'm so proud.

How on earth are we supposed to take Republicans seriously when this is who they are behind in MN. I am being so serious.

I voted early yesterday in the primary for @peggyflanagan.bsky.social. We deserve better than Angie Craig and her nonsense. Please vote in the primaries.

TX police searched 83K cameras across state lines to hunt a woman down. Not a missing kid. Not a violent offender. A woman, weeks after a legal abortion, turned in by her own partner. Let’s Address TX State Director @saadia---m.bsky.social covers how cops are using Flock cameras to stalk women.

Reminder that any political party trying to make it harder to vote is sending a clear message: they can't win on their ideas alone.

Hey I know inflation is out of control and a lot of folks can’t afford basic necessities, but at least we’re tackling waste fraud and abuse by buying… *checks notes* 250 Escalades for the government.
