There is nothing more inspiring in American politics right now than the way Minneapolis has banded together and refused to be broken by the administration’s attempts to batter them into submission.
I kind of dgaf if I’ll never own a home or start a family because I’m gen z… people used to get their teeth ripped out with no anesthesia if they had a cavity and now we have nerds clusters… let’s all practice some gratitude
A labor strike is happening in Minnesota today. You might not hear about it because Twitter is suppressing information about how bad ICE activity is on the ground in Minnesota. Keep talking about Minnesota. This cannot spread. It has to be defeated now.
I dont think people understand how big it is that a general strike, even for 1 day, is gaining as much steam as it it, to the point where the Minnesota AFL-CIO is endorsing and participating.
I can’t believe what I’m living through. At some point we have to acknowledge that the median American voter is braindead and equally responsible for this evil simply by being too lazy to open a fucking book.
“we can’t fight back, because then things will only get worse!”
[it gets worse anyway]
“Ok now we REALLY can’t fight back, because it will get even worse than last time!”
[it gets worse anyway]
“Ok we can’t fight back, because then it will be so bad that we can’t fight back!”
Y’all ever think about just how many problems are the downstream consequences of lots of people truly, deeply believing that human beings don’t owe each other anything at all, not even basic decency
Whe I was a kid, my mom’s road rage meant she was screaming at other drivers when I was the only one who could hear her. I told her to stop yelling at me and she seemed puzzled. “I’m not yelling at you, I’m yelling at the other drivers”
“Okay, but I’m the only one who can hear you.”
Poorly controlled emotions are like that: those closest to you bear the brunt while the source of your problem never knows.
Express your emotions to those you reasonably expect to care or do something differently to help you not feel that way. Practice stoicism and self-calming methods for the rest.
found out my mom has been going on walks in her neighborhood after dark because she is “just so full of rage that anyone who would try to attack her would be needing an ambulance”
If I say everyone should have access to food, clothing and shelter and your first response is "But..." Then our worldviews are irreconcilable and further engagement is wholly unnecessary.
The end.
a pillar of my restaurant retired this weekend and the places is in shamblessssss. like how do u even go on without a manager who had been there longer than the current owners!!! almost 38 YEARS!!!!
If any of you are wondering what it’s like in Minnesota right now…
It’s worse than what you are seeing.
People are being grabbed at random in stores, in cars & even at home.
Schools and businesses are staying closed out of fear.
I live here & am seeing it with my own eyes.
Above all, getting the right picture/footage drives the Trump ethos. With the Twin Cities, ICE is trying to tell the US that they could do this anywhere.
They can't. At least not yet.
If they could, they would.
