If you can, keep showing up for your community by shopping local and supporting the small businesses that anchor our main streets and enrich the cultural fabric of Minnesota.

Black History Month is a time to recognize the lived, shared experience of all Black folks who have fundamentally shaped, challenged, and ultimately strengthened America. It’s about taking an unvarnished look at the past so that we can create a better future.

NATIONWIDE SHUTDOWN: JANUARY 30th. #3E #Goodvsevil #generalstrike #iceout #justiceforpretti #justiceforgood

Happy Thursday ☀️

I am disgusted and outraged by the attack on Rep. Omar tonight while she was doing her job & meeting with constituents.

Let’s be clear: nonstop hate and dangerous rhetoric from Trump & his allies has fueled this type of violence.

I stand with Rep. Omar. I stand with Minnesota. This must stop.

Good morning friends and stay warm today ☀️

Big news! 🌊 🚮 ✨

We’re thrilled to share a huge milestone for the International Coastal Cleanup: Congress has introduced a bicameral resolution recognizing 40 years of the ICC’s collective action to protect our ocean and communities from plastic pollution! 👏

1. Tapo makes a great video doorbell - sd card no subscriptions #BoycottAmazon

2. Have you moved all your banking to your local CU yet? My CU even teaches Financial Literacy at our HS #SupportLocal

3. Got Mint mobile but I’m sure there’s a better option that doesn’t support Oligarchs-suggestions?

It’s a good day to find a protest, contact your representatives, and make a resolution to stop feeding the machine ☀️

Psycho Pete's Living Guide to Fighting Fascism A year ago, much of what’s in this guide would’ve been laughed off as alarmist.

This is our resistance guide. Boycotts and other info contained within: open.substack.com/pub/psychope...

Join @womensmarch, @maydaystrong, @FEMINIST, @nokings.collective (50501) and other groups on Monday at 7:30 p.m. ET for national Action Training. A non-violent, hands-on session designed to help us all learn the skills we need during these times.

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

I don’t have anything funny or witty to offer as a balm for what we’re currently living through.

But, what I do want you to know is that there is a human behind this account and humans behind this brand that are hurting with you.

Sending hugs across the internet to everyone who needs one. 💜

Hundreds of thousands of people gathered in Minneapolis today

This administration doesn’t seem to understand
We will NOT give up our rights and freedoms

We support Minneapolis during this invasion
