Civility politics only help the oppressor maintain power. If you are demanding civility in a fight against fascists you are already on the wrong side.

Wrote some stuff about a time when Democrats fought back--VERY publicly--against Republican budget cuts. White crosses, mountains of utility bills, a green bus just for good measure, and a whole coherent vision of economic democracy: coryhaala.org/general/how-...

What’s happening at the Iowa State Capitol right now is inspiring as hell. Overflow crowd of pro-trans citizens decrying the dehumanizing changes the Iowa legislature is proposing.

Now that we’re more than a month into the state legislative session, I got to vote (early!) for my representative at said session.

This telling of the life of Dr. Josie Johnson, mostly in her own words, is a must watch for Minnesotans especially. What a tremendous Civil Rights leader.

Recently introduced to a rock band called YHWH Nailgun. I’m fascinated by this name. Are they the Old Testament God’s nailgun? Do they carry it on that God’s behalf? What does it mean?

Sixty years ago today, Jimmie Lee Jackson died. He was 26. It was his death that would spur the march from Selma to Montgomery — and, with it, the Voting Rights Act

Come on you Loons! Winning the Cup this year.

This long weekend I brought my 14 year old son to both his first First Avenue Mainroom and first Entry shows. Being able to share a place and activity I love so much with him was amazing. Trying to hold on to that happiness as we launch head long into another week of Trump shit.

Tearing up a little here at the strength of this op-ed. More of these about every topic, please! We need to stand up and love our neighbors now more than ever.

Exciting Loons preseason action from a stationary center line camera while the other cameras were apparently down.

The MNGOP is currently gathering signatures to recall EVERY DFL member of the State House. Such an unserious party. Joke’s on them, though, I don’t have a Rep to recall because he resigned before taking his seat because he didn’t live in the district. Suck it MNGOP!

I’m going to believe Norm and Stu are on different trains, and no one can stop me.

The new eNewsletter from The Alliance (not my employer, a different Alliance) is chock full of amazing information and events for solidarity, resistance, and resilience. Highly recommend subscribing. 1/2

Don’t mind me, just gonna be over here listening to Kendrick all day. Squabble up.

Loons on my TV!

Hell yeah, Minnesota.

For my friends still in Iowa, keep (or start) calling Chuckles and Ernst!

🚨NEWS: A temporary order has been issued blocking the Labor Dept. from sharing any data with DOGE, after a group of unions, including AFGE, sued DOGE and held a major protest outside DOL yesterday. Here's the union's email:

I know the country is on fire, but for the next 24 hours don’t talk to me unless it’s about Mathys Tel buy options. #COYS

In the streets in Minneapolis.

I should have voted for Royce White. At least he’d be screaming from the rooftops about what Trump/Musk are doing. He’d be bragging, but at least he’d be getting the word out. Sen. Klobuchar is worthless.

i’m just photoshopping muppets onto the cover of vanity fair: thread

Porridge Radio was exactly what I needed last night. Great tunes for the end of democracy.

A crossover kind of night at First Avenue and the 7th Street Entry. Best New Bands of 2024 in the Mainroom. Porridge Radio in the Entry.

@smith.senate.gov As my Senator is anyone there planning to do anything about this?
