If you want to know who took your money, it's the people with all the money.
And if they can talk you into believing anyone else is to blame, they will keep picking your pockets and purchasing themselves politicians and getting away with it.

We can't fall into right-wing populism’s lie that the most vulnerable in society are to blame for wealth inequality in our countries. We need to build movements that tell the truth: the story of wealth inequality is not a cultural one, but a class one.

my pappy sent me a little haiku he wrote for a contest, about my auntie that died of cancer. he’s never wrote poetry before but i think this is a pretty great haiku:
potato salad. frybread.
now she’s in heaven—
no one knows the recipe.

Just cloned Stand With Minnesota for another state.

I am feeling myself change in this moment. True: let this radicalize you, type shit, I’ll tell you what.
A question I keep returning to: what must remain.
For me:
-knocking on my neighbors doors
-spotting a little cash
-radical bravery
-doing it afraid
-going at the pace to include the most

Minneapolis had three of these within 17 days, so you'll need to be more specific with your headline.

Here's the thing: This was true in 2024. In the very same surveys where media shouted from rooftops that majorities supported "mass deportation" MORE people supported having people stay. But the latter didn't merit airtime. Chart credit: @mikepod.bsky.social
