You don't get to paper over the fact that they are bigots. They knowingly wanted to strip minorities and women of any historical representation. They killed projects simply because they had ethnic identities and genders attached.

Jews are targeted in shuls & online.
Brown & Black people are abducted and sent to concentration camps.
Muslims are openly targeted by politicians.
Activists & journalists are targeted by the FBI.
Trans & queer people are being outlawed.
We are in this together. This is why solidarity matters.
Just so we're all clear, this is a war crime and would be punishable by life or death under U.S. law.
Rest in power Breonna Taylor. Today, we mourn six years without her, and six years without justice or accountability.
The thing about this fascist take over is it has been telegraphed, planned out, on the surface, barely even dogwhistled, for a decade. A decade. And liberals (and a fair number of leftists) have spent the decade telling us to calm down, stop being hysterical, stop exaggerating
i'm seeing this thread on "following" fwiw
everyone is going to be assigned Deleuze and Guattari readings until we figure out what is going on
looks like we traded generations of healthcare for 4 days worth of missiles
I'm starting to think if I say "ICE has not left Minnesota" (which of course is true!) I should also say "ICE has not left Chicago" and "ICE has not left LA" because I think the point is that ICE wants to occupy a lot of places at this scale so that it just becomes reality, it's not just Minnesota.
the stink of gender resentment coming off Silicon Valley has been obvious for a while. these men hate women because they hate being told no.
this is still the realest thing ever said about america
For weeks now, I've shared information about HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS protesting ICE REGULARLY. So much so that whole states like Kansas and Texas are rolling out LAWS to sanction schools and laws to criminalize TEENAGERS. Please let's be serious.
A grim parallel between US escalating a trade war w/ China & realising that China has serious leverage in the form of rare earths & US launching a war vs Iran & realising Iran has serious leverage in the form of being able to blow up the world economy. Failure of statecraft.
PEAK PARENTING.
even if some shuls have bad politics, they are not the state of israel, they are not idf recruiting headquarters, they are not outposts of zionist imperialism, they are places where kids go to pre-school and where the poor and unhoused get fed and where people celebrate lifecycle events and mourn
Today is the 36th anniversary of the Capitol Crawl and disabled people are still fighting for basic rights in a society that's actively working to undermine them, surrounded by systemic disablism.
(This is a corrected thread TY to the person who flagged that I said 26th, not 36th!)
Idk man, could be that a bunch of 19-year-olds who were too young to cut their teeth on the eruptions in 2020 got organized in 2024-25, and then were battered mercilessly by police officers with batons and guns. They got expelled, suspended, sent to detention camps. That does something to someone
This might be the greatest split-screen ever broadcast.
They’ll play this in museums in future.

Speechless.
"We started a war of aggression for no reason & commenced it by accidentally bombing an elementary school & killing over 100 kids."
That simple fact is so horrific that it's just kind of bouncing on the surface of our collective consciousness. We can't absorb its full implications & significance.
Allentown. 830 E Warrington Ave - Zone 3 police station. PD heard a ruckus outside of the station and it ended up being ICE agents taking someone into custody.
Get your shit together America. Follow the EU’s example.
Facebook post by Nekima Levy Armstrong: "Friends, A Breaking News headline just appeared in the Star Tribune, claiming that the national Target boycott ended today. This is false. The writer of the story, Carson Hartzog, is fully aware that the Target boycott was launched in Minneapolis on February 1, 2025. I have spoken to her several times since then, yet she failed to reach out to me, Jaylani Hussein, or Monique Cullars Doty, the three founders of the national Target boycott for the story. Carson even used the photo from our press conference that includes my daughter, Assata Joy and Ms. Rosemary Nevils, an elder in our community, to try to add legitimacy to a bogus story. I am once again disgusted by the Star Tribune and their attempts to minimize and erase the voices of our community. The nationwide Target Boycott is not over, unless and until Target reverses its decision to rollback Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, as we said from the beginning. “Pastor” Jamal Bryant does not speak for us or our community and has zero authority to end the nationwide boycott of Target, a company that is headquartered in Minneapolis. Please don’t believe the hype and these attempts to rescue Target from the effects of capitulating to the Trump Administration. Target rolled back DEI because of Donald Trump. They donated $1 million to the Trump/Vance inauguration committee. Target also allowed ICE to stage in its parking lots during Operation Metro Surge. The nationwide boycott of Target is successful and it will continue. Please continue to shop elsewhere."
Nekima on the Target boycott.
I agree with this and it's something for which community groups should already be developing concrete plans. I think reparations are already due.
March 11, 2026 Minneapolis City Council 350 South 5th Street Room 370 Minneapolis, MN 55415 Dear Council President Payne, Council Vice President Osman and Council Members: This letter is to inform you that I have vetoed Ordinance No. 2026-002 to extend the pre-eviction notice for renters to 60 days. I understand the authors’ intent, but the experience from COVID-19 and guidance from shelter and affordable housing providers shows that this strategy has not worked. We have heard over and over again from shelter and affordable housing providers that longer timelines produce worse outcomes for residents. In their words, when rental assistance isn’t available, time is a debt trap that becomes a barrier to securing future housing. I heard a call for more financial assistance, and I believe that is the best path forward. Rental assistance is working and getting to renters quickly – rent collections are better in 2026 than 2025. That’s why I’m proposing to spend $1 million from the Affordable Housing Trust Fund for emergency rental assistance administered through Hennepin County. While a 60-day pre-eviction notice period sounds good, there is no data to show that it does good. Pandemic era eviction moratorium allowed many renters to accumulate huge amounts of debt that they are still paying off today. When property owners carry the losses, the housing system experiences upward pressure on rents to replenish reserves, catch up on missed mortgage, insurance, utility, payroll, and property tax payments, and cover increased costs associated with deferred maintenance. I believe most landlords are working with tenants to develop payment plans and access rental assistance. But for bad actors, I worry that the proposal gives them reasons to report tenants to ICE or use minor lease violationswhich don’t require as much notice and are harder to expunge – to evict tenants. We will continue to monitor the data. If something substantially changes, I am committed to working with the City…
mayor jacob frey has vetoed the pause evictions, save lives bill the minneapolis city coucil approved that would've extended the eviction timeline from 30 days to 60 days temporarily to held families impacted by the ICE invasion catch up paying rent
I use real life when I'm bored because I'm a grown up that doesn't need a plagarism bot to suggest activities.
My stalker violated one of his restraining orders like a dozen times, filmed it and posted it himself, and eventually he spent a few weeks in jail for it after multiple people spent 40 hours a week working on it.
