Important thread for Minneapolis folks. We should come up with a catchy name for this landlord and developer PAC that endlessly rebrands itself, the way fandom dubbed that one hotel the RadishTree. Makes it easier for people to know what you're talking about.

Went to No Kings today? Good for you — now we need:

(1) continued organizing in our communities, so that we can have:

(2) prolonged street protests with clear, ambitious demands, in tandem with a:

(3) general strike.

i love halloween because every year it gives closeted trans people the chance to experiment

closeted trans women go as female characters

closeted trans men go as male characters

and closeted non-binary people go as like the big spooky pumpkin person or whatever

This Indigenous Peoples Day please speak up: another typhoon sweeping away homes of Alaska's Natives, who, during settlement (statehood: 1948) were forced to end ways of life (like my Grandma's) involving mobility across regions & stuck them in flood-prone/unstable villages with housing deficits.

Can you tell us exactly what they are chanting, Robert? I’m assuming you speak Arabic that you can pull this conclusion out of this clip. /s

Your dehumanization of your fellow man to fit your settler colonial agenda is disgusting.

There’s already too much bad right now, we can’t lose Dolly too 😓

(2/2) Obvs we differ on a lot of things, but it almost feels like we’re starting to build a united front — like between the Communists and the Nationalists in China durning WW2.

Two groups retaining their differences but working together to defeat a common existential enemy. Am I full of shit?

(1/2) Hot take: is it just me or is the current moment bad enough that it’s jarred liberals and leftists from our respective silos just a bit? It seems like your average Joe liberal (not electeds) is a bit more receptive to leftist ideas in fighting fascism, or is at least less opposed.

Oh heck yeah, Minneapolis is getting a folk school in Loring Park! www.peopleandcraft.org

I have a bad feeling this ain't gonna be resolved with votes.

important for us in the US to note: even a solidly right wing government can't ignore this.

“They dragged little Greta [Thunberg] by her hair before our eyes, beat her, and forced her to kiss the Israeli flag. They did everything imaginable to her, as a warning to others[.]”

Well, the boots won’t lick themselves I guess.

The ICE Shooter’s Motive Joshua Jahn's friends speak

@kenklippenstein.bsky.social with the receipts, actually talking to the shooter's friends.

Surprise! Not the left, or even MAGA. Another white kid who spent countless hours online and "was an edgelord who wanted someone to get blamed … to rile people up.”

If nothing else just for the ensuing melodramatic Strib opinion articles 😂

Ah, derp, I’m bad at reading tone online lol. Absolutely agree.

How Can We Live Together? - Boston Review Ezra Klein is wrong: shame is essential.

"Common decency stigmatizes people that do not participate in it—removes them from voluntary association. We indeed have to live with one another, but terms and conditions apply."

It hurts my commie soul to ask this, but: literally any second residential property? There’s a lot of po-dunk family hunting shacks up north that I don’t think should warrant the legal designation of “residential,” yet technically that’s how they’re classified (I believe?).

This is the part of "Abundance" that I think we urgently need: our bureaucratic agencies/systems are not up to the task. They end up being small c conservative. And I think progressive mayors/govs/etc seem unwilling to think about what it would be like to explicitly reshape bureaucracy.

It’s almost as if capitalism is internally contradictory and structurally unstable or something.

Paulo Freire for you this morning: We need to say no to the neoliberal fatalism we are witnessing at the end of [the 20th] Century, informed by the ethics of the market, an ethics in which a minority makes most profits against the lives of the majority. In other words, those who cannot compete, die.

California Bars ICE Agents From Wearing Masks in the State Gov. Gavin Newsom signed a bill to prevent federal agents from concealing their identities with masks. The law is expected to face a legal challenge.

Breaking News: Gov. Gavin Newsom signed legislation that prohibits federal immigration agents from wearing masks in California.

What a week — three days of national organizer convening, putting on a symposium on solitary confinement, and launching year 2 of the fellowship I run.

I have no energy left in my body.

Meghan Blanco, an attorney who represented Mojica, said it was significant that jurors did not believe the statements of such a senior official. “These jurors had the opportunity to listen firsthand to the CBP officer overseeing enforcement nationally and could not have found his testimony to be credible,” said Blanco, a former federal prosecutor. “It is a bad sign for the federal government. They are doing everything they can to try to legitimize their prosecutions, and thank God the jury and the public are seeing right through it.”

underneath all the doom and hideous stuff happening at the top of our country is a more inspiring story: regular Americans are not buying all this crap. and they're still willing to call the government out on it.

I’m a Congressional Candidate. I Was Assaulted by ICE. An interview with Kat Abughazaleh, a 26-year-old Democratic House candidate in Illinois, who was violently thrown to the ground twice at a peaceful protest in Illinois on Friday morning.

As I told @newrepublic.com, "Once last week, twice today, ICE has picked me up and thrown me on the ground. Honestly, it doesn’t compare to what our neighbors who are trapped inside the Broadview processing facility are going through. They’re committing crimes against humanity there."

TERRORISM EXPERT HERE:
He cannot designate an idea as a terrorist group.

There is no org called ANTIFA. There is no leadership or funding path or no membership. Also there is no terrorism law in America. Ask Luigi.

He wants to call anyone a terrorist. That’s Fascism.

257. The Commission recommends that all Member States: (a) Employ all means reasonably available to them to prevent the commission of genocide in the Gaza Strip; (b) Cease the transfer of arms and other equipment or items, including jet fuel, to the State of Israel or third States where there is reason to suspect their use in military operations that have involved or could involve the commission of genocide; (c) Ensure individuals and corporations in their territories and within their jurisdiction are not involved in the commission of genocide, aiding and assisting the commission of genocide or incitement to commit genocide and investigate and prosecute those who may be implicated in these crimes under international law; (d) Facilitate the investigations and domestic proceedings and take action (including imposing sanctions) against the State of Israel and against individuals or corporations that are involved in or facilitating the commission of genocide or incitement to commit genocide; (e) Cooperate with the investigation of the Office of the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court. 258. The Commission recommends that the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court: (a) Examine, within its continuing investigation in the Situation in the State of Palestine, the crime of genocide for amendment to existing arrest warrants and addition to future application for arrest warrants; (b) Examine the involvement of officials mentioned in this report for inclusion as those most responsible for international crimes committed in the occupied Palestinian territory.

Today, the UN officially designated Israel’s assault on Gaza as a genocide.

As a party to the Genocide Convention, the U.S. has a legal obligation to obey our own laws, stop weapons sales to Israel, and demand a permanent ceasefire.

End the genocide. Ceasefire now.

Found out this morning that the night of the shooting, when they were macing homeless people to keep them away from their tents and forcibly removing people, one of the encampment residents lost her child's cremains. The cruelty is unfathomable.
