Since the ceasefire began on October 10, 2025, Israel has violated it 393 times.

(Gift article) I know this is a complicated and confusing issue but I’ve gotta be honest, literally every additional thing I learn makes it seem like the U Regents and President Cunningham are not only 200% the problem but also all around shitty people

Twice in the last few weeks patrons have sent in a list of references they want and it’s been AI generated and ✨mostly made up✨. The one yesterday had one (1) real reference that also was actually about the given topic that they’d asked ChatGPT about out of twelve total.

Tonight, the Department of Homeland Security announced that on Tuesday they detained 14 of our neighbors on immigration charges. What they initially reported as a targeted criminal enforcement action was in fact an identity-based raid on people who had done nothing but show up for work that day.

It’s Trans Day of Remembrance. Thinking of all those we’ve lost, and all those who are in danger right now. We deserve a world where trans folks live and thrive without a fight - but until then friends, please know we have your backs 💜💜💜

Been thinking about Lake Street raid & Bro-Tex — Lake St w/MPD on-site for “crowd control” & Bro-Tex w/no StP PD, & relative impact on protestors … but Strib notes Lake St — justified by Frey/Witt as a drug bust — has so far netted only an immigration conviction. www.startribune.com/federal-agen...
The confusion echoes that of five months ago during a June 3 raid of a Lake Street Mexican restaurant, which also sparked widespread protest over speculation that an immigration raid was underway. Federal prosecutors stated that the operation, which included searches at seven other locations, was a probe into a suspected criminal conspiracy tied to over 900 pounds of meth found in a Burnsville storage unit. Five months later, no other information has been released, nor have charges have been announced in connection to the alleged drug trafficking. The details of the investigation were not laid out in any court filing directly related to that case. Instead, they were included in the criminal complaint for obstruction and assault charges against Minneapolis protester Isabel Lopez, who had no connection to the federal investigation into drug trafficking. Francisco Estrada-Deltaro, the primary owner of the Las Cuatro Milpas restaurant on Lake Street that was the subject of the raid, was arrested at his home outside of the city and later sentenced to 8 months in prison for illegally re-entering the country three times. But he was never indicted in the "suspected criminal conspiracy" and it remains unclear if he ever will be. Estrada- Deltaro is slated to be deported after he completes his prison sentence

Fucking cowards and assholes, which we knew. This ain’t new for ICE. They are and *always have been* scum. ICE needs to be abolished, and there need to be long term consequence for the behavior of every. Single. Agent.

If you’re pro-Palestine and live near the Hennepin County library Ridgedale branch they could use your support. People are celebrating getting that library to take down display related to Palestine. I don’t wanna link to it but here’s a couple screenshots
Molly Rosenblatt Community Voices Drive Change as Ridgedale Library Removes Anti-Israel Display A Facebook post expressing concern over an "International Solidarity with the Palestinian People" book display at the Hennepin County Library's Ridgedale branch sparked swift community response this week, resulting in the display's removal just a few days later. The original post, shared by a local Jewish community member, read in part: "I think most of us would consider the library a safe space and that's why I feel compelled to share the current display at the Ridgedale library. The original post, shared by a local Jewish community member, read in part: "I think most of us would consider the library a safe space and that's why I feel compelled to share the current display at the Ridgedale library. It's the first thing you see when you walk in celebrating 'international solidarity with Palestinian people. The post quickly circulated through local social media groups, prompting a wave of reactions and concerns from Jewish community members about the content, placement and titles in the books on the display. Comments in those groups included: • "It's not that they made this display, it's which books they chose." • "This display could make most Jews who walk in, right back out." • "The thing that bugs me is they don't do this on the anniversary of the Holocaust, or on October 7th. I feel like we as a community wouldn't be as upset if they did." • "I am so disgusted by our neighborhood library. It is sad, hurtful and disappointing. When confronting the staff last week the librarians were clueless and didn't know what half the books meant and how they put our Jewish lives in danger. That was very concerning to me." • "It's that exact utter lack of knowledge

This is super messed up. And also - library admin cave to public response consistently. So we as community members have to be as loud as the objectors.

This happening by and large because I am a trans person who demanded I be respected and I was met with mockery.

Deciding to try and purge the trans person who is attempting to call you to account is a fucking wild choice, but hey, TERFs will be TERFs.

I have a harder and harder time justifying having lefty queer people in general engage with a party that is so hostile to them. I hope we can find a way to bring them in to not just Stonewall, but the party as a whole. It’s not too late, but we don’t have a lot of time left either. It’s now or never

Hi Minnesotan Bluesky:

The DFL has a well-known transphobia problem. I'm organizing to change the party platform in 2026 to be explicitly supportive of trans people in Minnesota. This will provide a basis for expelling transphobia from our party.

Join me: abetterdfl.org.

I’m not a young person anymore (idk maybe I still count as one to the DFL 🥴) but in my experience, young people aren’t fans old people who are full of bullshit and double standards. There, that’s my branding advice @dfl.org

The value of reading history is you know that in 1860 there were abolitionists who were so demoralized that they thought chattel slavery would be permanent. 5 years later those still alive had lived to see its end.
