Let how exhausted I look here give you a window into how hard mutual aid organizers have been pushing to keep our neighbors safe and housed when no one else will. Please write to your councilmembers and the mayor and urge them to pass Pause Evictions, Save Lives!
video taken in downtown minneapolis today of reported bounty hunters PULLING A GUN on someone standing in the road in front of city hall. (business on the van is fake.) hennepin county sheriff’s deputies were right behind and did nothing
video by government employee who saw it on their lunch break
world-altering decisions are being made by a cabal of gambling addicts hell bent on self enrichment no matter the cost to humanity, we should look into that.
Two figures stand in an alleyway at night in winter. The trees are bare. The houses, stark and angular. A gigantic condo looms behind them, its facade lit up by the moon. Two young women emerge from the dark. A younger one and and an older one. The younger one has long dark hair, she wears a toque and puffy coat. She has rectangular glasses. She lights a cigarette while the older one looks on. The older one has her long dark hair tied in a ponytail. She has a fringe of hair resembling an up arrow. She wears a scarf and black peacoat. She has round glasses. She observes the younger one take a puff. The younger one says "Dad would kill me if he knew I was smoking." The older one implores "pleae let your big sister be a laign influence on you." She turns to look her sister in they and points out "you only turn nineteen once! Celebrate by indulging in newly legal vices!"

“The forces we are up against have made peace with mass death. They are treasonous to this world and its human and non-human inhabitants.”
In Trump 1 it was "I'd like to see him wiggly his way out of this one! Well, nevertheless"
And in Trump 2 it's "Surely this is the rubicon, right? Surely this it the bridge too far, the norm that can't be violated, the institution tha- what's that? Democrats actually support it? Well, nevertheless"
I am not sure I can put into words how much the past twenty four months has radicalized me against democrats
As the elected government officials pop on here to rationalize their enthusiastic complicity in the bombing of children, a reminder that this fun labeler identifying who is funding them exists.

Today our government is bombing children in a school, while regular people are engaging in incredible acts of mutual aid to keep each other fed and housed.
Fuck empire.
Fuck the concentrated wealth and power that makes this death machine possible.
Read it again. We killed 85 schoolgirls this morning.
The morally bankrupt Trump administration has partnered with another morally bankrupt authoritarian to declare an unprovoked war on Iran, already killing scores of civilians.
We need an immediate vote from Congress on a War Powers Resolution. Then articles of impeachment.
This War Will Destabilize The Entire Mideast Region And Set Off A Global Shockwave Of Anti-Americanism vs. No It Won’t
things every single republican president of your lifetime has done
- started a war in the middle east
- completely destroyed the economy
To be clear, Kansas Republicans rushed through a confusing and disastrous bill, created a panic, and wasted untold number of tax dollars all to target 300 out of the nearly 3 million people in the state.
1) Ban medication being prescribed because you say there is insufficient evidence to support it, even though it's prescribed internationally
2) Say you're going to set up a trial to get evidence that it's safe and effective
3) Pause that trial getting evidence because of "unquantified risk"
A fabricated statement from Nintendo of America's Twitter account addressing a fictitious scenario in which the Earth's oxygen supply is presumed to be depleting at a rapid pace, leaving humanity with mere days to live. "This is Miyamoto. On behalf of everyone who is employed at Nintendo Co. LTD and its subsidiaries, we deeply mourn the countless human lives which will be lost due to the depletion of the global oxygen supply. To anyone who has ever played one of our games, we are eternally grateful to have created long-lasting fun and memories for you. To ease the suffering of families and children across the world, the Mario Kart World game for the Nintendo Switch 2 system will be available as a free download on Nintendo eShop for the foreseeable future. We hope this small gesture of kindness will ease the pain as humanity prepares for a worst-case scenario." The statement is distastefully plastered with logos for Nintendo and Nintendo Switch 2, as well as with a render of Mario from Mario Kart World.
A fabricated Twitter thread responding to the fabricated Nintendo statement. John Default Profile Picture: "No one read this statement and thought it was distasteful? Why did Miyamoto think this would help anyone?" NintenDeen: "Simple: Nintendo is so depraved that they'd exploit a global crisis to boost the player count of the failed Mario Kart World and force consumers back into the Switch 2 ecosystem to boost sales and player numbers."
A fabricated Twitter thread responding to the fabricated Nintendo statement. PlayStation Nation: "What the fuck are you doing falsely advertising sales during these trying times? I went to the website and Mario Kart World is still selling for $80 USD." Kremling Kevin: "If you actually read the statement, it clearly says the discount is available on Nintendo eShop. Meaning the application on the Switch 2 itself, not the web browser version." PlayStation Nation: "Point still stands."
A fabricated Tweet responding to the fabricated Nintendo statement. Isaboner: "Nothing for Switch 1 owners?"
Had a dream that there was global panic about the world running out of oxygen, Nintendo was the only video game company to make a statement about it, and the internet collectively spent its final hours on Earth debating whether Nintendo was being genuine or not
Incredibly powerful opinion chronicling the awfulness in Whipple and the ways it interfered with the right to counsel.
One key part of the ruling (that ICE will likely appeal ASAP); Judge Brasel bars ICE from transferring anyone out of Minnesota within 72 hours of arrest.
I know there are a lot of mutual aid asks coming out of Minneapolis right now, but both of my kids graduated from South High and it would mean a lot to me for people to contribute to this rent fund for my fellow South families. I’ll match the first $1000 if you post receipts. Tiger Pride 🧡🖤
as far as I am aware, abductions rates have remained about the same (at least in my areas), so this is huge for keeping our neighbors in-state!! we still need TONS of eyes and people advocating for those who have been grabbed, but this ruling gives us a little bit more time to ID and locate them!
this helps manufacture consent that people trying to not get a neurotropic disease that can cause lifelong disability without a cure are the crazy ones. this framing is explicitly condescending, misleading, and does real harm.
❄️Greetings from occupied Minneapolis, where a light dusting of new snow sparkles in bright sunlight and all I want for my birthday today is for you to stand with us.
For my home or yours: donate, signal-boost, volunteer, talk with your neighbors, and build a better world!

The Hortmans were assassinated seven months ago.
The Annunciation Church school shooting was five months ago.
Renee Good was murdered three weeks ago to the day.
It has been eight days since they took 5-year-old Liam Ramos and his father.
It has been four days since Alex Pretti was murdered.
Fuck my analysis of the Bovino firing was that it would fail because Border Patrol would shoot someone else in a couple of weeks I didn't expect them to shoot someone THE NEXT FUCKING DAY
MOREOVER, ICE MUST BE DESTROYED
a friend donated $1,000 directly to the IRRF last night so as to get an employer match, so the actual final number sent to the IRRF last night was at least $10,295, maybe more. fucking amazing, well done everyone

Another thing I learned in the town hall is that the events in Minneapolis are being well-documented because of the thousands of people who trained to become legal observers after the murder of George Floyd
