2010: I need whatever this ad is selling. It’s deeply shameful that I’m aging like everyone else on the planet.

2025: These ads are predatory capitalism. Every wrinkle on my face is a testament to my humanity. Mutual aid is everything. Our energy is magic. We are witches and you cannot burn us!

Preordered from my local bookstore.

URGENT: one million children are about to die of starvation We are launching this time-sensitive campaign as parents, caregivers, and allies who feel a moral calling to protect children, no matter where they are. At this very moment, over one million children ...

Just sent my version of this. I encourage you to as well.

If Mamdani and Fateh Become Mayors, Will Dem Elites Still Collude to Sink Them? Parts of Fateh and Mamdani’s platforms would be difficult to execute without cooperation from their city councils.

TIL it's only the DFL in MN.

New halal food shelf in Willmar serves immigrant families in need The halal food shelf was launched by Community Connecter Services and served about 40 families during its first weekend.

Hey, here's some good news. www.mprnews.org/story/2025/0...

NEW: A federal judge ordered the Trump administration to unfreeze federal funds.

Then the harassment began.

Pizzas sent to his home in the name of Judge Esther Salas’s murdered son, Daniel.

Six credible threats to his life.

More than 400 “vile” calls to his chambers—including this voicemail:

I’m sharing this All of Mpls email because I hope everyone (including journalists - especially you) will contrast Frey supporters’ rhetoric (and ex-Frey staffer Jacob Hill here) with the sincere testimony of Maddie Love. This kind of shitty, cynical game-playing is a reason a lot of us oppose Frey.

Just did some research on my city council candidate options for Minneapolis ward 11, and LOL not a hard choice.

Jamison Whiting is pro MPS, pro public transit.

His opponent wants Frey reelected.

I will, of course, keep paying attention, but as of now, am voting for Whiting.

Call your senators ASAP. The 5 calls app has a script for you, or you can just say “I want the senator to support senator Sanders’ resolution to stop sending weaponry to the state of Israel.”

Gaza Freedom Flotilla has released statement that Black labour leader Chris Smalls (Amazon Labour Union) faced violence that no one else on Handala did. He has been severely beaten in Israeli custody.

Smalls follows in legacy of Black radical tradition for Palestine. Labour must stand for Smalls.

Smalls, the only Black flotilla member, appears to be the only one who has been treated this way

Infographic about Kris smalls a member of the Handala crew, which was a ship sailing to break the siege of Gaza being abducted by Israeli forces and assaulted. he is still in their custody.

Appreciate that. No real damage here yet, but this is no joke. 🤞 Not too much damage for folk to discover in the morning and trees going down don’t hurt folk.

Sure is. Everything just went over in our backyard: chairs, kid slide, closed umbrella with heavy base… all of it at once.

Dear advertisers everywhere,

When I see your enthusiastic ads after I see a child, mother, uncle, friend, entire *population* who are being starved, I actively begin to hate you.

You want our business? Speak up to keep more humans alive and free. Spend your ad dollars on that.

Sincerely, Humanity

When you see this callous attitude toward the starvation of more than 1 million people, let it bring clarity that we cannot just ask for them to please stop. We must force their hand. Sanctions, boycotts, protests, strikes.

Sanction Israel now. They must be made to stop. To let in food. We cannot ask, we must sanction.

The U.S. government could stop this. However , the Trump administration, with the support of both Republican and Democratic Congressional leaders, continues to send billions of dollars in unconditional military aid to the Israeli government while eliminating funding for UNWRA.

My 2 year old spontaneously signed “mama” and “dada” (appropriately in conversation!) the other day because he saw it on Ms Rachel. Made me want to take a whole course.

Professors I know at Columbia are crushed and looking for jobs elsewhere. How do you work for a school that didn’t even put up a fight?

I called my senators today.

I posted on here and on IG.

I shared with my coworkers my relief that Heba and Ahmed found food today.

I cried with a friend.

I spent my evening sewing and crocheting things to raise money for 🍉.

It’s hard to know what to do. I get it. These are some ideas.

Yeah. It’s really hard that’s where we are. I’m trying to hold onto both the grief and rage of that and also the love and beauty of so very many people doing what they can to change it. Ugh. It’s just so much.
