This is absolute baby shit. There is no genuis puppetmaster behind the scenes. There are like 100 dumb assholes chasing different variations of "fuck you, got mine" who hate each other. The disease in our system is that it allows moron scum to rise. That doesn't make those dickheads secretly smart.

Somehow the "We need to support policies that are popular" crowd never land on the very popular polices like "taxing big corporation more," "making health care more affordable," or "paying teachers more." It's always just "be 10% more racist."

Everyone local, please remember that Mayor Frey has direct oversight of the MPD, and is apparently fine with and providing PR cover for them taking part in this, in THIS community, after everything that happened in 2020. What I’m saying is let’s vote his lame ass out.

On Sunday, my friend, Jonathan Joss was murdered and it took me a minute to find the words... Like so many of our lives, Jonathan's existed at the powerful intersections of Indigeneity, queerness, visibility, and vulnerability. He was fierce, funny, flawed, and real in every way that mattered.

Twitch. Twitch. I hope I’m being alarmist. But if I were working my back in the day job and my country office’s news looked like the US news the last few weeks I’d be on the phone with our country office team making sure everyone had an emergency plan updated.

The Ukrainian SBU releases that 34% of all strategic cruise missile carriers of the Russian Air Force were struck during the operation. Hardware worth $7 billion was destroyed. The worst part for Russia is that it has zero capabilities to reproduce any of its strategic bombers.

Couldn't agree more with this. It's jaw-dropping to see the patty cake people are playing with him after what was a full constitutional assault that, oh by the way, is almost certainly going to lead to tens of thousands of people in the global south dying needlessly.

There are 2 types Minneapolis residents. One that remembers “A fully staffed MPD abandoned the city, assaulted press and protesters, incited crowds, made it worse. Generations of city leaders had flinched rather than hold the department accountable.” And one that believes the mayor’s narrative.

In anti-authoritarian struggles, criticizing the regime for their blatant corruption is often one of the most important ways to mobilize the public and break through to regime supporters. The Trump regime is the most corrupt in US history—it’s worth repeating ad nauseam
