i honestly had no idea what Viviana looks like until just now bc her presence as chair of sd59 (north minneapolis) is pretty nonexistent, but good for her!! 😃😃

Friends, we have some positive news tonight out of the Constitution, Bylaws, and Rules Committee re: the DFL Feminist Caucus.

The TL;DR of it is the entire feminist caucus leadership has to either undergo extensive training, or resign within 10 days.

Aerial Surveillance in Twin Cities Frustrates, Alarms Residents - UNICORN RIOT A bevy of surveillance planes and helicopters from federal and state authorities have recently been circling the Twin Cities metro area.

New: a US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) AS350 helicopter is flying around the Twin Cities today. They're used for surveillance, with a big camera pod and spotlight mounted on their belly.

Some reporting from 2021, the last time they were in the news here: unicornriot.ninja/2021/aerial-...

We have similar issues in Canada. I didn't have a Black male teacher (or a Black teacher at all) until I went to university. My grades were solid, but having that kind of in-class mentor would have been an invaluable experience.

i love that this is the picture of my coworker during the strike & they use.it.every.time 😭😭

in all seriousness, Black men make up less than 2% of the public teacher workforce in the U.S., yet Black male teachers SIGNIFICANTLY boost Black students’ academic success, grad rate & college aspirations.

Notably, I don't see any statement from Carlbom about DFL candidates and electeds who served as prosecutors and oversaw false convictions

It is, kind of by definition, currently being tolerated

Dawg look at my opposition party

WOW. So this is obviously a huge violation of this man's rights, and it illustrates a few things we're seeing broadly:

- DHS officers are ignoring peoples' IDs and instead requiring screening through their own systems
- Confirms @404media.co's reports of use of DHS's facial recognition app.

regret to inform folks, but 2026 is looking to be the year of the overpaid mediocre white man.

richard continues to show me how out of touch he is with his own city.

yesterday we had 3 neighbors & one legal observer abducted by masked ICE thugs a couple miles from our neighborhood!! due process is hanging on by a fucking thread, and this is what he wants to attack this Chris dude over? 🚮🚮

this is what happens when consultant centrists run the MN DFL.

and yes, it’s like banging ur head on a fucking wall over & over & over again.

This fucking guy defended people charged with crimes? The fucking nerve

💀💀

Nobody should call these "erroneous" arrests. It's not happening by accident. Flooding cities with poorly trained ICE thugs to harass and racially profile is the entire point.

just wrote 😭😭

i just a lengthy & thoughtful talking points message to a parent about how great their student is doing and they responded “ok”. 😭😭

one of my seniors just announced he got into the UMN and our lunch bunch exploded into cheers!! 🥹🥹

i asked if he will be living on campus and he said yes! i started cheering bc now he can join @sd60dfl.bsky.social 😭😭

Anti-Blackness is so deeply rooted in some, that they see one Black woman defending another Black woman against hate and think it’s an endorsement.

You shouldn’t have to agree with someone politically to call out others’ bigotry.

Torture Techniques from CIA Black Sites Were Used at Alligator Alcatraz Amnesty International, interviewing migrant detainees, identifies use of the confinement box. There can be no denying it is a torture prison

They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.

Dear neighbor, 

I wanted to give an update on the Minneapolis Separation Ordinance being authored by myself, CM @aurinmpls.bsky.social, and CVP @aishaforward10.com. There is a public hearing at tomorrow’s Committee of the Whole meeting at 1:30PM. It’s open to the public, so feel free to testify. 1/

i do not regret to inform you that we are going to win

The 81-year-old, second-richest man on earth, calls up president directly and demands that he be allowed to use $100 billion including capital from world’s most repressive regimes and Trump’s son-in-law to conquer a massive entertainment and news complex to preserve “competition“

this happened when Democratic Party chair, Ken Martin, was chair of the MN DFL.
