I’m so excited to have my Congresswoman and friend, @ilhanmn.bsky.social, on board with my candidacy for Mayor! She fights hard for the working people of Minneapolis. As Mayor, I’ll partner with leaders like her to build an affordable city that's accountable to us. secure.actblue.com/donate/fateh...

MYTH: ICE agents lack proper training.

FACT: Most have been racists their entire lives.

our samsung tv has a BBC channel that is usually Colin Firth Pride and Prejudice but now it's a show with Dr. Strange who's at an indoor pool and he's pointing a gun at the Hot Priest while the Hobbit looks on worriedly.

Hi! @guante.info and I are in northeast and are interested in connecting. Also, if there are folks interested in working through this worksheet together, we'd be happy to facilitate/discuss with NE neighbors! organizingmythoughts.org/mapping-comm...

Mapping Community Defense and Care in Our Neighborhoods

This worksheet can help us prepare for Trump's military interventions at the neighborhood level.

I just called Pillsbury and Edison high school to let them know
And Edison high school said they have had several calls with different locations
So they are not leaving the neighborhood

one thing about me is that I really like Gritty.

I like the way he moves, his electric hips, his roving gaze.

“Every story is an opportunity to revive Rama’s dream of writing & keep her alive between the lines.”

During the genocide, writing has become an ultimate form of resistance, allowing Eman Ghassan Abu Zayed to tell the stories of Gaza, ensuring their histories live on forever.
