Volunteer — Stand With Minnesota

It only took me a month, but I finally made a volunteer page on Stand With Minnesota. Because we are about to need a lot of freaking volunteers. Help us keep Minnesota housed!

I don’t find humor in the atrocities.

I appreciate people who can talk about what’s happening & who manage to find humor in various other ways.

Saw this guy on here a few days ago & I think he’s brilliant. Made me laugh while still acknowledging the awfulness:

I realize media doesn’t think it’s a big deal that Trump, Vance & Hegseth continue to give partisan political speeches to troops, evidenced by the fact that they are never asked about it nor are members of Congress, but it is one of the most dangerous things happening right now.

brass solidarity band performing “stand by me” in the streets of whittier next to alex pretti’s memorial. the crowd started chanting “the people united will never be defeated” so they incorporated it into the song. i love minneapolis

This. Images like this make me proud to be an American because THIS is what it means to be an American.

Give me a diverse group of musicians playing in the streets with regular people joining in to defeat oppression

Our institutions have failed us but the people will prevail.

I knew I saw this somewhere before. Funny that it’s almost exactly what’s actually happening now.

Done!

Thank you so much for taking the time to explain this.

When government demands the names of its critics, it isn’t enforcing law, it’s mapping opposition.

The First Amendment exists precisely to forbid this moment.

A state confident in its authority prosecutes crimes.

A state afraid of its people catalogs speech.

This is what grassroots power looks like. In Independence, Missouri, thousands of neighbors are uniting to stop a massive AI data center from devouring 80% of the city’s power.

Do I ever do that?
All too often.

Not sure who needs to hear this but the voter fraud rate is a mere 0.000003%. Anyone telling you otherwise is making shit up so they can take away your right to vote.

This is concerning, that a rep feels they must post this. A lot in our coalition has felt the same way and worried about it, but didn’t think we’d be here publicly.

We are entering the “falling out of windows” phase.

Why Are Senate Democrats Still Voting to Confirm Trump’s Judicial Nominees? On Tuesday, the Senate Judiciary Committee held its first in a series of eight...

Democrats on the Judiciary Committee keep decrying nominees as unqualified extremists. They also keep voting to turn those nominees into life-tenured federal judges.

Why? 🤔

Trump's former attorney. "THIS IS NOT A DRILL!"

So, our school children get to dodge bullets, ICE AND viruses that are preventable?

This isn't a message from someone on the fringe or the radical left.

Ty Cobb is Trump's former attorney.

Everyone needs to wake up.

Just filed: @knightcolumbia.org mandamus petition—second one in this case—asking Eleventh Circuit to bar Judge Cannon from ordering the destruction of Jack Smith’s Mar-a-Lago report, as Trump’s co-defendants have asked her to do. knightcolumbia.org/documents/z8...

Whatever could Thomas Massie be worried about? Oh, right.

Thanks!

EPA reverses long-standing climate change finding, stripping its own ability to regulate emissions The agency announced it is repealing its 2009 conclusion that greenhouse gases warm the Earth and endanger human health and well-being.

There are so many fucked up things with the current administration that it's hard to focus on one but this recent move is basically a death sentence for the planet. I've been involved with more boots on the ground actions over the years than I can count and this really bums me out.
