reed eliot 🤌 🤌

The political theory you're floating here is called accelerationism and it sucks. Please reconsider.

Can anyone in MPLS please help me with a job?

I do community organization, I used to run Rainbow Wardrobe, I have over a decade of corporate customer service and training experience.

I can't get anywhere on Indeed or any of these other sites, so I'll try asking people instead.

Please.

Today!

ICE detains reporter Estefany Rodríguez in Nashville - Nashville Banner Reporter Estefany Rodríguez, detained by ICE with no arrest warrant, may face deportation. Her attorneys seek immediate review of the legality of her case.

ICE has arrested and detained a Nashville journalist who reported stories critical of ICE. She’s married to a U.S. citizen and has been seeking asylum here after fleeing death threats in Colombia because of her journalism there.

They’ve already sent her to Louisiana.

10/10 did this to myself just now on the bus and now my eyebrows are stuck to ceiling

Thousands of us are helping landlords every month of this crisis by contributing from our personal funds to cover rent for people trapped in their homes under existential threat. WHY can’t landlords share in that risk/sacrifice?

Your last sentence is the crux of it.

Every other type of business owner has to contend with risk! Nobody is guaranteed profits, but landlords go absolutely apeshit when they don't get 100% of their rents. They act so fucking persecuted.

Why is it always presumed that a landlord cannot be asked to weather a bit of a bumpy ride for a short period, but tenants must do everything right or face the consequences? If a landlord can't handle a limited amount of arrears, they shouldn't be in business.

The Science of Unlearning And Why Organizers Need It “Nobody had a story about unlearning that didn’t include a connection with other people,” says Lewis Raven Wallace.

Too often, activists are more focused on sorting people into categories of good and bad than on how people actually change their minds, beliefs, politics, and actions. Personally, I think this comes from a defeatist mindset. But people can and do change. So, how does that happen? Audio + transcript:

Hell yes Ian this makes me so happy for you that I actually teared up a little

A screenshot of my profile. It includes my little sketchy hand-drawn avatar, a scruffy guy with a lot of wavy curly hair, a beard, glasses, and a lip ring. My banner is a photo of the cloudy sky through an Amtrak observation car window. My bio says queer as fuck. abolitionist. decriminalize gender now! everyone deserves everything they need to survive, even if they suck. minneapolis & chicago based freak shooting photos, cooking, and joyfully rebelling against fascism every day DM me for alt ;)

I try to make it easy for folks

And I didn't attack you. I want to understand why when you ask questions it is asking questions but if I disagree with you and ask you questions, it is an attack. I am genuinely trying to have a conversation about this stuff with you but yes, your opinion offends me because of my ethics and values.

Seeing you get worried that "Republicans" would have access to this eviction relief genuinely shocks me. If anyone is about to get evicted for financial reasons, yes, I want them to have more time to apply for aid and figure their lives out. Everyone deserves housing! Even if they suck!

Yep! I don't believe in means testing help and I certainly don't believe in politically motivated financial gatekeeping as a matter of public policy. What do you propose to prevent "magats" from receiving aid? How is that different from how they treat us?

By all means, it's your conscience

my first book (2020) was about online neonazis and my second book (2024) was about christian theocrats. they gained strength, voltronned and became a government. my third book (2027) is going to be a history of notable sandwiches so i hope this means we will be governed by sandwichocracy

Prairieland ICE shooting trial jury gets closer look at 'antifa' materials defendants owned Anti-fascism, anarchy and the abolition of ICE were common themes in literature and paraphernalia investigators found in the defendants' homes and cars.

“FBI investigators walked the jury Tuesday through ‘zines’… Owning these items is not illegal, FBI Special Agent Kasey Bennett testified in Fort Worth federal court Tuesday. But…” (there is no credible but)

Even if you learn nothing else about the Prairieland case, please take note that the federal government is trying to build a terrorism case around an unarmed box of zines

Duluth appears to be experiencing the singularity

How are you not mentioning the Rush sticker? Ahahaha

I'm not trying to be aggressive or cruel here. But I really want you to think about this shit. I want you to think about your defensiveness. I want you to think about families who have not left their apartments in three months. Not once. Y'all thought COVID was bad? We barely had a lockdown 2 weeks.

Your response to hearing about this was to chime in about how worried you were for property when human beings, full families, are being swept up into concentration camps

I want you to reconsider your priorities or take that John Lewis quote out of your screen name, neighbor.

I want you to really think about why your first concern when you read this post was to ask if landlords are protected

Landlords have been protected for 2 months off the sweat & toil of hundreds of volunteer fundraisers and untold millions of generous folks giving what they can to keep folks housed

NEED MET ON THE THIRD RENT! WHO IS READY FOR A 4TH ONE?

Buddy I'm from Minneapolis, I don't treat "migrants" as a unified voting block but rather as my fucking neighbors

I didn't call you impure or a monster, you absolute weirdo. I think it's clear you can't read anyone in good faith and you're looking for adversaries everywhere you go. Reactionary.

Oh he also worked on the CCC and did odd jobs. Kind of a grab bag of mid century occupations.

One was a radio DJ all over the country

The other was a GI and then gas station manager / owner before being permanently disabled by Guillan-Barré syndrome 🙃

My family has one of the only legitimate reasons to be skeptical of vaccines, so if we are still getting *our* shots y'all should be too ;)
