Stephen Miller going down at the power of the labor movement would be one of the proudest moments I'd witness in my nearly 20 years in organized labor.

Let's get it done.

Oh now those vuvuzelas as Mardi Gras throws have a place now. Or maybe tambourines.

a thing about not having insulated houses in 30 degrees F: turn your thermostat to whatever the fuck you want: 78, 85, 140, idc your house isn’t getting over 60.

Expected to “retire” - his tiny ass needs to be put on trial.
BREAKING Greg Bovino has been removed as Border Patrol "commander at large" and will return to El Centro Calif, where he is expected to retire soon. A stunning turnaround after Pretti killing. Bovino's traveling blue city crackdown is over www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

in times of turmoil it is very easy to feel like theres nothing you can do to help, especially if you are far away, but i promise buckaroo EVERYTHING helps. there is direct action like donating money or protesting, and there is cultural action like creating art and cultivating atmosphere of change

We've been raised in a culture that tells us self interest is all. Every person is out only for themselves &their cronies. What we're seeing now is that a lot of us resisted that programming. Some can't quite believe that's what it is--that we just fucking CARE. yes we care for free u creepy freaks!

If anyone is looking for ways to help us here in MN, donating to our community orgs is a great way to do it.

On Friday a number of our badass drummers got together to drum up support (pun intended) for one of them.

If you have a few bucks to toss COPAL’s way, every bit helps ❤️

WTF is wrong with the City of New Orleans? Tanks, soldiers, drones, and mass surveillance for Mardi Gras? What a dystopian nightmare

One thing that irks me: people keep calling the folks on the streets in Minneapolis protestors. They are not generally there to protest, they are there to observe and document. This is the product of organizing and mutual aid. It is telling that these acts of citizenship are seen as protest!

I keep circling back to this fact;
All you had to do was listen to Black people. That’s it. That’s all. But you couldn’t. You refused to believe, refused to follow our lead, and now it’s you.

I’m not watching the video of another person getting murdered by ICE. I don’t need that in my psyche.

But all Democrat electeds should be FORCED to watch it. You good with this, pal? You think “training” will fix it? You gonna throw throw money at it?
