What a game, man. Football is the fucking best.
Also fuck ICE
Sharing what CM Chavez put aptly— increased ICE activity in South Minneapolis, many reports today coming out of the 12th Ward. Please be safe and take care. It is legal to observe and document. Make sure you’re connected to your neighborhood networks.
Our statement on reports the DOJ is investigating Governor Walz & Mayor Frey aflcio.mn/3Nnzl1v
I just don't know what else to do right now. We are all showing up for each other but the federal onslaught has been relentless.
In an address to Minnesotans on Wednesday, Gov. Tim Walz called on President Donald Trump and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem to “end this occupation” of federal immigration enforcement officers in Minnesota.
“What’s happening in Minnesota right now defies belief,” Walz said.
As today's horrific events have unfolded in Minneapolis, Equity staff has kept your safety in mind. We've sent information to members who live and work in the area, and we've been in touch with all Twin Cities theatres with active Equity contracts. (1/2)
Some of us have been working with the Southern Poverty law center on all of this so this NYT piece is just awful. Truly. Anyway, Happy Holidays, despite the dreck that passes for knowledge.

"As a resident of north Minneapolis and pastor in south Minneapolis, he experiences how the present administration ignores too many people. When he talks about bringing dignity, justice and liberation for everyone, he means all."

We deserve a mayor who will care for every neighborhood across Minneapolis. Our neighbors are invested deeply in their communities and they know what they need to thrive. We need leadership who is as committed to their success as they are.

The wellbeing of Broadway’s actors and stage managers is making headlines. Jimmy Kimmel Live highlighted the possibility of an Equity strike: Broadway workers need and deserve health care. And sounds like audiences agree 👂 👏
"There are no Broadway shows without healthy Broadway actors & stage managers. And there are no healthy actors and stage managers without safe workplaces & stable health insurance.” – Brooke Shields

Our message to the Trump administration is clear: Fund the government. Fix the health care crisis.
Put working people first.
Call congress now -

@startribune.com incredibly disappointed in your recent editorial reporting of the Charlie Kirk murder and decision not to include the editorial article by @angeladenker.bsky.social. This is why I'm canceling my subscription.
Minnesota deserves better! Do better @startribune.com!
Yup
My kinda scene.
As you get ready for Labor Day weekend, remember to thank a union.
AFL-CIO President @lizshuler.bsky.social: “If we want Broadway to thrive, if we want this to continue to be the entertainment capital of the world, it starts with dignity for our workers… @actorsequity.bsky.social, 15 million of your siblings from the 63 unions of the AFL-CIO are with you.”
I think the idea that “The President is simultaneously an institution beyond the reach of criminal law and also a private person who can file $10 billion defamation suits when he dislikes a news article” is not very sensible.
I actually live in Minneapolis. It's not perfect but I moved here ten years ago and have stayed. F the haters. I love seasons, the cold, people who can't zipper merge, and passive aggressive 4 way stops.
A good union job with better pay, better benefits and better working conditions can be life changing.
America’s unions will keep organizing across the country so all working people can experience the union difference.
Every single person. No matter their job. Deserves a living wage.
Proud of you.
87 years ago, President Roosevelt signed the Fair Labor Standards Act into law, establishing the 40-hour workweek, child labor protections, overtime pay, minimum wage and more.
These protections were won because workers stood up, organized and demanded better.
