I realise I'm just a freak, but living in a multicultural city is the best thing of all time, it's just the best possible human experience and i can not understand why anyone on earth would be like "weve got to destroy this"

Another thing you should know about the Twin Cities, if you're not here, is that while the mayor and governor tell us to stay calm on TV, our council members and other local electeds are on the street patrolling and protecting neighbors, doing mutual aid, and otherwise serving the community.

The thing that really makes Minneapolis different, other than the fact that they straight up murdered someone, is that they've dropped all pretense that this is just about immigration. The state has declared war on its own people, or at least those people who live in cities.

Democrats need to realize ICE isn’t just—or even primarily—a mass deportation force.

ICE is also Trump’s most loyal internal security force which will be used to attack regime opponents and try to steal the election. They should defund his authoritarian capabilities.

Border Patrol Commander Greg Bovino and goons heckled by activists and shoppers protesting his presence as he and a federal agent caravan leave a Target in St Paul, Minnesota for a restroom break. 'Get the fuck outta here' 'You guys are bitches' 'Nobody wants you here!'

DHS terrorizing people this morning means they 100% plan on pushing through it. It’s an all or nothing fight, this is them pressing the issue on whether or not they can walk into a city and brutalize Americans (libs and minorities) as they please.
Trump's goons are already pepper spraying and roughing up people in the Twin Cities this morning

This is why it annoys me when people try to make it seem as if this is how things have always been. There was a time when greater literacy and reading as a part of everyday life for people of every class was a national mission. Then it changed drastically and now we’re here.
Last fall I ended up looking at a lot of Seventeen magazines for a project. Even in the late 90's, there was a section of book recs in every issue. One of them was historical fiction about the life of Van Gogh, doorstop-thick. It hit me then how much of a reading culture we've lost.

Masked ICE agents, it seems, are now killing American citizens on American streets.

Any Democrat who doesn’t support abolishing ICE should be instantly primaried and run out of the party.

This is non negotiable. You cannot support the continued existence of this fascist murderous secret police.

That video shows a murder. Full stop.

I hope that folks have learned enough to know that the Nazis are going to kick into high gear with their propaganda.

Leftists need to be DISCIPLINED in messaging and action.

I just wish someone would be honest and say “we are ending civilian science in favor of science that is focused on serving national security and war”

I once said that my growth as a person in adulthood has basically consisted of me intellectualizing my way back to what Sesame Street and Mr. Rogers taught me as a child.

I don’t have any kids but I followed Ms Rachel on Instagram after she’s been in the press for her Palestine activism and man, that lady has her head on straight. She understands her responsibility as an educator to children. I think she’s great.

Our campaign looked like the city we’re fighting for: bold, joyful, and rooted in the streets. From bodegas to yellow cabs, we drew from the art forms created by working-class New Yorkers.

Soon, we'll oversee a budget of more than $100 billion — and every dollar will reflect our commitment to working New Yorkers and delivering universal childcare. Good thing some little New Yorkers gave me a counting lesson today!

NYC is going to have the world's biggest media-manufactured crime panic in history the second Mamdani is elected. They aren't even going to wait until he is inaugurated. Whether or not you like the guy, you need to start preparing now for the fire hose of disinformation that is about to activate.
