Jacob Thomas

That’s why I’m supporting @dewayneforminneapolis.com for Mayor as my first choice and ranking @omarfatehmn.com and @jazzformayor.bsky.social as well!

Our neighbors + communities don’t feel safe BECAUSE of the Minneapolis Police Dept.

A history of lies, disinformation, police violence, lack of accountability, and promotions instead of demotions for bad officers has directly led to that community mistrust.

We deserve better.

Delayed flights are much better with some bourbon and orange juice. 😌🥃🍊

Summer chop! (It was getting too hot out here for all that hair)

Need Amber Atkins to report on this.

The Supreme Court’s ruling will hurt kids who are just trying to live and grow into who they truly are.

The original TN bill and this ruling are massive overreach that strips parents and doctors of their rights to provide lifesaving healthcare.

Trans kids deserve better.

Walz announces that Rep. Melissa Hortman is dead as a result of a "politically motivated assassination"

I’m devastated to hear of the assassination of Representative Melissa Hortman and her husband. Political violence has no place in our country. This is abhorrent.

My thoughts are with Melissa’s family and with the Hoffmans’ as they come out of surgery for their injuries. 💔

I had a great conversation with USA Today about the rallies tomorrow.

“Patriotism is standing up for your community and your neighbors, he said. And loving your country means standing up for its values.”

Marine veteran JoJo Sweatt joined Democracy Now! to remind us that real power lies with the people, not one man.

The sky said trans rights tonight. ❤️🏳️‍⚧️ #mpls

Trump’s Fort Bragg speech is pure propaganda. This resembles a campaign stop and is just a way to distract from the fact that Americans are rising up to fight his authoritarianism. #VetsAgainstTrump

Robert E. Lee was a traitor to this country. Trump trying to rename a base after him is despicable.

Trump speaking at his propaganda stop says he wants to criminalize free speech with a 1 year prison sentence. That’s what fascists do. Trump is a dictator.

Wearing The Blackest Co.’s Double Victory shirt in honor of D-Day. Fighting fascists is what Americans do. Don’t let us stop now!

Democracy at home and abroad! #VetsAgainstTrump

Common Defense members are out in force at @unite4vets.bsky.social rally today! Here’s a few pics from earlier as people were arriving on the mall.

So excited to release these findings! Check out the highlights:

Pride shows us what joyful resistance can look like.

Let’s continue the legacy of the first Pride & fight back against oppression with everything we have within us!

13 years of celebration & resistance for me & I wouldn’t trade any of it away to be back in a closet! ✊🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🥳

We made it to Friday y’all! And the sun finally came out! 🥰

Screenshot of Star Tribune article with headline that says “Trump’s DOJ asks to dismiss consent decree mandating sweeping Minneapolis police reforms.”

This is despicable but par for the course for a lawless wannabe dictator like Trump.

But let’s remember Trump does not get to dictate how we improve our own community safety while reforming MPD and holding officers accountable.

It’s up to us to move forward.

Screenshot of 3 news headlines on a blue background: Number 1. From the Guardian that says “House Republicans block Trump’s big beautiful bill in major setback.” Number 2. From the Washington Post that says “GOP hard-liners block Trump’s massive tax and immigration package.” And Number 3. From NBC News that says “Conservatives block Trump agenda bill from advancing in major setback for GOP leaders.” Above the screenshot is text that says “Republicans in disarray.”

Trump’s “big beautiful bill” just got shut down by his own people because they want to kick more people off of Medicaid and give more tax handouts to the ultra-rich.

We would say send in the clowns but they’re already there…

Happy Ward 2 Convention Day! #MinneapolisDFL

Here’s to 100 days of fighting fascists. Still here and still queer. ✊🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🇺🇸

This is what dictators do. It is so far beyond normal. This MAGA Trump regime is an existential threat to democracy, the rule of law, and our freedoms. This is fascism plain and simple.

Trump’s DOJ is fighting to ban trans troops AGAIN.

Veterans & military families are calling it what it is: bigotry that weakens our military and betrays those who serve.

#Vets4Trans #ProtectTransTroops #WeAreCommonDefense

The DOJ’s continued push to enshrine discrimination against qualified, honorably serving transgender soldiers is an affront to the values and ideals our military upholds.

Trump’s military trans ban has no basis in reality, it will harm military readiness, and is just hateful.

The Trump regime is fascist and they are openly defying our constitution and the courts. If they get away with this they will push further and we the people will lose our rights at their whim. We must all fight back and condemn this lawlessness! #VetsAgainstTrump
