The power of community.
Minneapolis Council President Elliott Payne on TV last night reflecting on the politics of the George Floyd era as it relates to the current federal threat.

Yes!
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!

Americans proposed that Ukraine concede half of the profits from its mineral rights in perpetuity... in exchange for essentially nothing. This is not a monetary proposition, let alone a "deal," but rather the demand that Ukraine become a permanent American colony.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.

Opportunities are everywhere.

Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

Got an email from @unitedhealthcareus.bsky.social and clicked the link to sign up for the $300 reward for healthy habits. Link not found. Thanks, United Healthcare! Will be on the phone with you shortly to argue that you should cover my breast cancer screening that you recently denied.
