[to] the god that lives in your fist
when you fight for something worth fighting for,
what more could life be for, on the brink?
eye of sauron looked right at my city;
we made it blink

this is [redacted] level shit
in other news, it was just the 40th anniversary of the people's power movement in the philippines and duterte is in the hague hopefully to face justice for the thousands of killings he encouraged so
things are hard and things are possible
It’s beyond obscene, what this city values. We can ALWAYS find more money for MPD and we can never seem to find more money for MPS.
"I fear some [council members] are indifferent." Have you paid someone's rent, organized a fundraiser, gone on patrol, found someone an attorney, done someone's laundry, delivered groceries, held a baby of someone sheltering in fear? "If not you may be too far removed to have good judgment."

pretty wild Anders Folk is campaigning for Hennepin county attorney on a pledge to end the "Mary Moriarty era" on day one.
idk, seems like Mary’s the only one not rolling over and is fighting unrelentingly for our civil rights.
A feels better to me! Easier to track the circle

Rep. Green brought articles of impeachment against Trump for his unilateral strikes on Iran back in June of 2025. Congress voted to table that resolution. So here we are, 8 months later, murdering schoolchildren.
Congress's refusal to act murders people. Replace them all.
Can think of nothing more cowardly than pressing a button to shoot a missile that will land dozens or hundreds of miles away. Little bottle of water next to your desk. "Yes sir" and all that shit. Walking around saluting each other. Fucking losers. Killers.
Statement from Rep. Ilhan Omar on Trump’s Illegal War on Iran “President Trump is unilaterally dragging this nation into an illegal and unjustified war with Iran without congressional authorization, without a clear objective, and without any imminent threat to the United States. This is a reckless abuse of power that puts both innocent civilians and American lives on the line for a conflict the American people do not want. “As someone who has survived the horrors of war, I know that bombs do not build peace or create stability. Military strikes will not make us safer; they will inflame tensions and push the region further into chaos. When we abandon diplomacy, we choose destruction.
“We know who will bear the cost of this decision: innocent civilians caught in the crossfire and our young service members sent into harm’s way. This is the devastating human toll of another regime-change war. Already, children and families are paying with their lives. There is no moral or strategic justification for this bloodshed. “The American people are exhausted by endless wars built on false promises and paid for with American and foreign lives. Congress must reassert its constitutional authority. We must vote immediately on the War Powers resolution authored by Reps. Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie. This unlawful operation must end immediately."
I can’t stop thinking about these girls. They woke up this morning, got ready for school- maybe giggled with a sister, teases from a brother, maybe excited to see their best friend at school, or hugged their mom.
And then these children were murdered by America and Israel while at school.
It's almost impossible to comprehend how many people have died now because a racist reality star just couldn't deal with having a popular black president.
this response exemplifies why you should not have been reelected and certainly should not become governor of our state
you are living on a different planet than the rest of us and you squander the power invested in you by the people
We’re asking for your help because it’s the end of the month & our neighbors need assistance. ICE is still here & many neighbors are at risk of eviction. We’ll keep working to ensure government does more to step up, but our neighbors need help now & there’s less mutual aid coming in than before.
Like many African American parents, my mom tried to prepare me for the possibility of police brutality through a generational ritual known as The Talk.
As ICE detentions and arrests expanded last year, I started wondering if immigrant mothers were having their own talk. From me, via @19thnews.org:
@governorwalz.mn.gov sounds like there's plenty of leeway to declare an eviction moratorium, pay our teachers, and keep important regional infrastructure like hcmc open
you can't brag about money we made while people are passing the same money back and forth to make it to next week
Evergreen, Northside could use some love. In the form of money. Come on , dig deep friends! No one is coming to save us.
I chose Olson middle but there are several options in the linktree below.

Someone was abducted in St Anthony this morning at 6 AM near 29th Ave & Silver Lake Road. And then at 8 AM we saw at least 5 agents out of their vehicles at 26th & Jackson near Walgreens before they dispersed into the neighborhood.
This isn’t over. We still need people keeping watch & staying safe.

Fuck ICE!

As transgender Kansans grapple with a challenging new reality today, and the rest of the nation watches what’s happening in the Sunflower State, here’s a thread of @kansasreflector.com stories and opinion pieces about SB 244. (1/15) #ksleg #trans #lgbtq
Even if every ICE agent leaves, we need to use our newly found networks to help our unhoused neighbors forever
Oh ALSO the bridge in question is the one where ICE kidnapped 4 Lakota men. The folks living there are predominantly Indigenous. They should be safe on their land but not only have we created conditions causing disproportionate homelessness but we create conditions making homelessness *extra* unsafe
Also, all y'all with eyes on Minneapolis right now, the overlap between immigration and houselessness is sizeable and ICE has been staking out shelters and warming centers and even sent armed agents inside Dorothy Day. Our unhoused neighbors have nowhere to hide.
