So true it hurts

In 2016 MN Police killed a Black man named Philando Castile despite him disclosing he had a legal firearm. Yesterday MN Police released a white woman named Jenny Boelter despite her car full of cash, firearms, & passports hours after her husband mass murdered people & was on the run from police.

For those who were asking: "what do squirrels do in the rain?"

Okay, this is so weird. I came across this June 3, 1933 issue of a French satirical magazine at our local flea market and I was shockingly struck by how much the guy licking Hitler’s boots looks like…

No notes

👏👏👏🍀💚HH

This is the #Minnesota suspect Please share so they can catch this guy

I’m Kat Abughazaleh and I approve this message.

Pretty great.

They told Minnesotans to stay home. After the murder of Speaker Hortman and her husband—and the failed attempts on Senator Hoffman and his wife—fear was the official message. But the people came anyway. In defiance. In grief. In purpose. This was the #NoKings rally in MN. #BlueSky #MedSky #NewsSky

There's a city council member in Lancaster, Pennsylvania claiming protesters are being paid *$6000-$12500* for showing up on Saturday. Which, to be clear, suggests that for Saturday alone someone is paying protesters between 18 and 62 billion dollars. Sounds like economic growth to me!

Saint Paul

And terrorism

Awaiting a press conference now in Minnesota with Governor Walz on the shooting of two state elected officials in their homes. Both Melissa Hortman and John Hoffman are said to be in "grave" condition. www.youtube.com/watch?v=RL1j...

They've come for us...

The neighborhood is getting ready for tomorrow

If you're heading to a protest tomorrow, it's important to know your rights. Consult this information from the ACLU. Be peaceful. Be safe. Be careful. Be strong.

With tens of thousands of people expected to march in No Kings rallies across the country, here's what you can do if you see acts of misconduct by law enforcement at a protest. www.aclupa.org/en/help-reso...

On the fence about the No Kings protests? Big crowds = safer protests. The more normies (yes, especially white ones), the less likely the, uh, *enthusiastic* folks hijack the spotlight. Yes, media chase burning Waymos—but we can give them spectacle with sheer numbers, too.

Indeed

Idk man but when the administration that tried to reject humanitarian aid for Los Angeles when it was burning tries to justify their illegal military occupation by saying they aren’t going to let LA burn it kinda sounds like bullshit

W.E.B. Du Bois on Robert E. Lee: “Either he knew what slavery meant when he helped maim and murder thousands in its defense, or he did not. If he did not he was a fool. If he did, Robert Lee was a traitor and a rebel–not indeed to his country, but to humanity and humanity’s God.”

“.. Internal 82nd Airborne Division communications reviewed by Military.com reveal a tightly orchestrated effort to curate the optics of Trump's recent visit, including handpicking soldiers for the audience .. One unit-level message bluntly said ‘no fat soldiers.’” www.military.com/daily-news/2...

Imagine kidnapping people off the street in broad daylight and thinking you're the "good guys". People who are at work, at their kids' school or otherwise minding their business. Imagine shooting people with rubber bullets because they want it to stop and thinking you're the "good guys". 🤔😑

🚨 SOUTH PHILLY: ICE was spotted on 7th & Snyder at 9am this morning; their two unmarked Dodge SUVs (one gray, one black) are heading South on Broad as of 10am. Community members have eyes on them—alert your neighbors! KKF 7661 gray Dodge SUV LTM 932 black Dodge SUV

Standing up for immigrants means not freaking out when an immigrant celebrates their country of origin

Trump sent the troops to CA without fuel, food, water or a place to sleep. If anyone is treating the troops disrespectfully, it is Donald Trump.

Protesters instigating violence in Boston, March 5, 1770.

#Madleen "Demand their immediate release by pressuring the govts to act through social media, PHONE CALLS and physical protests." The individual videos and *email and socmed contact details* for each of the crew member's govts are being posted on BSky by @freedomflotilla.bsky.social #Gaza 🇵🇸

Four LAPD officers on horseback surround a man laying on the ground, trample him, and beat him with their polycarbonate "saber" batons.

Be careful, friends, when you read accounts of what is happening in LA. We will hear a lot about violence, and it is essential to remember who is defining that term. "When state actors refer to peace, they are really taking about order..." (@prisonculture.bsky.social and @mskellymhayes.bsky.social)

seriously, what what a piece of shit thing to do. imagine this idea forming in your brain & just following through. no impulse control. juvenile brain function. years of training telling you all your peers are totally down w/ what you're about to do. what a bad organization this guy's a part of.
