🤔 It’s definitely not suspicious at all to have people point out your common Twitter sign off is in the Epstein files and ten completely delete your yacht’s logs right?

Series of anonymous messages from Epstein files signed Jx on the right are several tweets she signed the same way

insisting on calling every mass day of protest or one-day boycott a "general strike" is not the move. it's good to see people rallying around the cause, it matters, but if you want to be part of a large-scale labor action that shuts down the gears of capital, start by unionizing your workplace!!!

Good morning. I read this dispatch from a comrade in Minneapolis this morning and thought that some of you might appreciate it too.

TEXT: Out on patrol with two friends this morning and I kept seeing the beautiful web being woven in Minnesota right now. Not with new materials but woven with wisdom into what was already here. I could feel this net with my hands, this connection as we passed that group of three on the corner of Cedar and Lake, this connection as we listened to someone doing dispatch while their kid yelled in the room behind them. I thought of this today stopping by a locally beloved Mexican restaurant to grab some food for the family and having the owner step up with tears in his eyes and reflect on how much they feel cared for and then the security guard stepped over and asserted that this is what we do, we care for our own. He said, tell people we have them, we've got them and we will keep them safe. All of the worst stories you read are true and there are more of them than what shows up on social media, but there is also this, everything I am writing here in the same morning, driving over to northeast and a junior high has just done a walk out, they are lining a major road in their "are those pants they look like pajamas" clothes and all are holding signs and I am on the phone with someone and I burst into tears when I pass them. This is a net and I remember this very old fishing net someone showed me years ago, guiding my fingers to feel where the net had been repaired over and over again, like scars in the fibers that strengthen rather than break. ICE is sharp, knives that cut with small knicks and sometimes great full arm thrusts that shove and tear through this connected set of scars and fresh material and there are wounds and this is violence and some of you beloveds are being stopped on the road because of how you are read and I am not being stopped and none of this is ever ok and still, I feel the pull and tug of the net that is larger than anything I have experienced

TEXT: before. Is there anyone in these cities not showing up in some way? I can't remember the last time I saw or heard anyone have words other than how can I show up? There is a net and it has always been here, it is always here, it's just that sometimes it's hard to see and all that is happening in Minneapolis is that some of the confusion is fading and what is visible is the link and weave and stumble and steady between us. May we keep repairing it as it frays, from those outside and from the rising tension we hold within and may this net grow with wisdom and may bodies tired of holding themselves up alone someday feel like they can relax into the steady certainty of something much bigger than the size of their skin.

Discount grocer Aldi plans to open more than 180 stores in U.S. this year as customers across incomes seek value

Aldi's growth reflects the fiercer competition with traditional players as discounters lure away shoppers and win more of their weekly grocery runs.

They get to “fear for their lives” and defend themselves. The public cannot. Police have a monopoly on violence that’s upheld by the legal system and cultural conditioning that convinces us the police are righteous defenders of the public.

This was an execution by ICE in Minneapolis this afternoon.

An agent lunges at the female driver’s door and another shoots her at point blank range when she tries to drive away.

Call this what it is. Murder.
