How long will it last? Will it grow? What will it mean to us — and to global security overall? Those questions echoed across the Middle East and the planet Saturday as world leaders reacted warily to U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran. https://to.pbs.org/4l2YAmC

Keep our neighbors safe from ICE! Donate $10 or more to a MN rent relief fund & get a free zine. Email your receipt to hello@paranoidtree.com by February 28.
Rent is due on Monday and many in our Twin Cities community are still trapped at home, meaning they can't work to pay rent.
Can you help us keep our neighbors housed?
Donate $10+ to one of these rent relief funds & we'll send you a free zine as thanks. 💌

Q: Can you talk about the legal authority under which the federal govt pauses legally obligated funds, such as Medicaid?
JD VANCE: Congress appropriates the money. We're the ones who actually make sure it actually goes to the people it ought to go to
It's felt for months now that the fed govt is doing everything it can, including acts of violence, to make the Twin Cities unlivable. Vance's announcement shows that effort continues even if Trump's thugs aren't killing people in the street rn. I just don't see how this can go on for 3 more years.

Democratic representative Al Green was ejected from Trump’s State of the Union address after holding up a sign that read “Black people aren’t apes!”.
The message is a reference to the racist video the president shared depicting Barack and Michelle Obama as apes.

Rep. Al Green was escorted out of the House chamber just minutes into President Trump’s State of the Union speech, bearing a sign that said “Black people aren’t apes!” Green was also evicted from the chamber early in Trump's address last year.
