I'm a constituent of @D4Commish & given the hunger strike, I'm calling on her to shut down the HERC trash burner. Conley says we need zero waste first, but in 2014, community blocked HERC expansion & that's why MPLS has composting. #FreedomtoBreathe

💯 Council member Chavez! (@MplsWard9) Smith Foundry. Bituminous Roadways. The HERC trash burner. Polluting facilities get almost always get placed in historically disenfranchised communities. No more!

"Why not make sure bets instead of risky ones? Why not build green infrastructure in the foundations of a climate-resilient city that creates a bounty of stable, green union jobs?" - Prof. Leslie Myint, MNEJT speaks in opposition to the #mpls #DataCenters moratorium.

The only good AI is when you spell +AIQTBGL backwards!

Pack the room at the Minneapolis City Council on June 16 to show that a 6-month pause on data centers isn’t enough, and June 17 to support LGBTQIA+ inclusive legislation!

So weird that US imperial ordering of Latin America would end up seeing the US demanding that foreign military break up strikes. It’s almost like imperialism is an extension of class war

MIRAC warned the world in june

"when ICE is in our neighborhoods for whatever reason, we will respond. when immigrants are threatened with guns in our streets, when frey, o'hara and witt violate & threaten our sanctuary city policies to suddenly appease trump, we will respond."

These two giant tortoises have been fighting each other for over 120 years. According to the zoo, one tortoise stole the other’s food 120 years ago, and from that day on they became enemies. There hasn’t been a single day where they haven’t fought for a while

🌈 SHOW UP AND SHOW OUT! 🌈 Taking Back Pride's will be co-hosting a press conference today at CITY HALL 2:00 PM to discuss a new lawsuit against MPD for its continued pattern of transphobia. We appreciate TBP's leadership against police brutality.

🚨A federal lawsuit just confirmed what MPLS has known for 37 yrs: trash burners are poisoning communities of color while regulators look away. Hennepin Co. Board: your support for even the temp use of burners violates EJ principles. OUR RESPONSE: https://t.co/RXraO1aPdn

Donate to help an Indigenous youth start university debt free. Ohiya is from Little Earth and has the exciting opportunity to start university this fall but federal grants and scholarships doesn’t cover it all. https://t.co/6SWPZgb6Hw

🧵 Two retired employees of a pro-incinerator agency and a @StarTribune columnist wrote op-eds defending the HERC trash burner. One called for expansion. Commissioners — is this why your compliance officer told Xcel there were no plans to close it? #FreedomToBreathe #mnleg (1/10)

US professional sports are really useful because they constitute one of the most "vulgar" capitalist scenarios imaginable: workers very transparently create *all* the value in these leagues where ownership very transparently does *nothing* but control the means of production

[David Adler @davidrkadler]

Donald Trump has given Marco Rubio the green light to annihilate a peaceful nation and its people — and the ‘resistance’ is silent. What does “No Kings” mean when one man can snap his fingers and kill innocent Cubans on a whim?

Honest and earnest criticism from those whose interests are most nearly touched,- criticism of writers by readers, of government by those governed, of leaders by those led- this is the soul of democracy and the safeguard of modern society.
