Rupert Murdoch.

The Godfather of propaganda and media power.

Three continents.

This piece from 2015 is an important reminder of Murdoch’s power and collaborations.

The remarks from the Chief should remind everyone that police don’t exist to protect people, that’s not their job that’s their slogan.

After detainments and deportations, the lives left behind in Minnesota From abandoned possessions to unpaid rent, many Minnesotans had to lean on family, friends and community organizations for help with their unfinished business.

"Each person plucked from their day-to-day existence left a whole life behind. There are shoes by the front door and an empty bed. There’s a car in the driveway and a job undone. There are pets that need feeding, bills that keep arriving and leases with months left to pay."

Cuban intellectual Alina BΓ‘rbara denounces blackouts: β€œDante's hell is a paradise.” The historian assured that in the Armando Mestre neighborhood, where she lives, the residents have been without electricity for four consecutive days.

"We have gone 4 consecutive days without electricity, almost without water, without landline service, with no way to cook except for the extremely expensive charcoal & firewood, with food unrefrigerated, suffering from hunger and desperation; with no information about how long this hell will last."🚨

I heard Kurt Russell tell an anecdote that his older relative made a living playing violin(!) and I was reminded of that stat going around that today the actual real dollars poverty line for a family of 4 is $160,000.

I'm working on something that connects America's economic transformation, its tech transformation, and its cultural collapse together and smack dab in the middle of it is this exact phenomenon that touches all three.

I’ve been photographing anti-ICE and related yard/window/tree/street signs around Minneapolis. The variety of commercial and especially handmade signs is amazing, as is the urge for people to let their neighbors know they care and are furious in ways big and small. Batch #4

Historian of French Revolution here to say that in periods like this, squeamish compromisers do as much to drive radicalization as do ideologues. If you keep making excuses for the unfit king, eventually folks come for you and him.

If you’re reading stories about Dems flipping seats in deep red parts of the country, there’s a real opportunity here in MN for Chaplin to beat Emmer, one of Trump’s main congressional supports and public supporters

Spread the word on the campaign and donate if you can

A veto of the 60-day pre-eviction notice tells people that you want them evicted into the cold earlier and that you’re unwilling to protect our immigrant neighbors.

Let Mayor Frey know you want him to sign Pause Evictions, Save Lives.

Call Mayor Frey today at 612-673-2100 and tell him to sign Pause Evictions, Save Lives.

We fought to keep our immigrant neighbors hereβ€”now we need to keep them in their homes. No family should be punished for hiding from ICE by now being evicted.

You will not convince me that this is not a plan to terrorize Americans.

The regime wants terrorism on US soil to cancel the election.

The Met Opera’s Desperate Hunt for Money

America's third slow revolution is the collapse of culture; as Minneapolis as a lead indicator is becoming unrecognizable as an arts and culture outpost in the northern midwest, even the Met Opera is looking to new ways to continue programming
