I really want ppl w/o Minneapolis connections to understand

You might've heard that Mpls public schools went hybrid bc so many families are in hiding. Well, a coworker just told me that today, during his kid's hybrid class, a kid's apt building was raided onscreen

*Everyone has stories like this*

Ecologists are sounding the alarm about the deleterious effects of AI and data centers on the climate and the health and economic conditions of local communities, while Big Tech giants are lobbying politicians like Trump to dictate the media narrative, state investments, and municipal zoning laws.

Literally wanting access to meds that allow you to function shouldn’t be treated like drug-seeking behavior, but here we are… Again… 🫠 Crash out season continues.

Supporting Epstein's victims is essential, full stop. But MTG doing the bare minimum doesn't erase years of harmful, violent rhetoric.

A broken clock can be right twice a day, but that's no reason to pull it from the trash and mount it on the wall.

I was laid off from Teen Vogue this week, alongside multiple other phenomenal team members.

At our Summit, I was asked how it felt to be 1 of 2 Black women left and what that meant for representation. Now, there are no Black women at Teen Vogue and that is incredibly painful to think about.

today’s information came out piecemeal, and people should be able to share their own situations on their own time, but I could share this much ^ as it is pretty cut and dry on the facts.

Teen Vogue also no longer has any trans staffers as of today.

now that this is public I can confirm that the majority of today’s layoffs were women of color. there are no longer any Black women working at Teen Vogue.

ICE is now raiding night clubs while continuing to terrorize our communities. This is just the latest case of ICE’s unchecked power. This brutality continues to worsen. ICE is trying to divide communities, they know they can’t pull this off if communities come together to stop them. They fear us.

99% of us on the wrong side of their doors

They get tax breaks, we pay twice, and fight their wars

And we wonder why they cut scholarships and aid

It’s designed to keep the status quo, we’re the new slaves

🧵 Trump’s administration said it couldn’t fund hunger relief, but it had no problem funding repression. They chose control over compassion, as per usual. 🧵
