NEW EMAIL: A Hennepin County manager called a staffer “our spy on the opposition.”

Alec “Mac” Stewart of the Minnesota 15, anti-ICE organizers facing federal charges after surveillance, speaks out: spying on organizers is unacceptable at any level. #FreedomToBreathe

[The Debt Collective 🟥 @StrikeDebt]

Trump has *already* said he is ready to work with Democrats. Democrats have control of the House and Senate now. Let's get these student loan payments paused/canceled somehow @TheDemocrats.

[James🔻 @GoodVibePolitik]

And with one vote, the national mandate of our conventions is gone and every other elected official and their teams now knows they can violate our anti-Zionist redlines without fear of even losing DSA resources. Lowest bars imaginable and we can’t even overcome it.

@D4Commish as a constituent, answers are needed:

● Who decided to surveil community members? What, if any, guardrails were put in place?
● Were elected commissioners involved or aware?
● Is the county still monitoring the people advocating to close HERC?

[zeroburncoalition @zeroburnmn]

Records show county staff surveilled community members and briefed HERC’s private operator on rallies, meetings and legislation.

on top of retaining tisch, he entrenches the falsehood that the nypd is what brings down crime in new york city. absolutely atrocious for a dsa elected especially and you can't and shouldn't make excuses for this.

Mamdani's position on policing has shifted considerably and it's now very far from DSA's position.

He once saw policing as harmful. Then he shifted to seeing it as a necessary evil. And now, he seems to see it as a public good.

[Nerdeen Kiswani @NerdeenKiswani]

When the police unions come after Mamdani it’s important to also defend his decision with holding them accountable. It’s a two way street, we criticize when he needs to do better and we support when he comes through.

[Ilhan Omar @IlhanMN]

I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation.

I will not be silenced.

[Palestinian Youth Movement @palyouthmvmt]

We call on the mayor to:

1. Shut down all illegal sales of stolen Palestinian land in New York City
2. Use every means available to him to prevent military cargo shipments to Israel from JFK airport
3. Dismantle NYPD's Strategic Response Group and fire Jessica
Tisch

[Drop Site @DropSiteNews]

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani's office rejected calls from congressional nominee Darializa Avila Chevalier for NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch to step down. "Jessica Tisch is the Police Commissioner and there are no plans to change that," a City Hall spokesperson told Politico.

[Drop Site @DropSiteNews]

Mayor Mamdani reiterates that disbanding the SRG is a priority after last night’s protests.

[Alex Vitale @avitale]

We need to put the pressure on.

Hennepin County has quietly admitted the HERC trash burner isn't profitable. Its new excuse for keeping it open: fearmongering about landfills. It's one of the oldest tricks in the incineration industry playbook. Read the brief: https://t.co/poagog9bPn #mpls

BREAKING: The union of Starbucks workers is officially calling for a boycott of the chain.

@SBWorkersUnited has over 12,000 unionized baristas, and they're calling on customers to stop visiting Starbucks until they get a fair union contract.

[Nick Estes @nickwestes]

Mayor Frey backs an 11% property tax hike to help cover the $33 million in overtime for the cops who did nothing while federal agents attacked families and children during Metro Surge and fascists terrorized daycare centers. But alas “defund the police” is too “extreme.”

[Connor S @connormstratton]

We need a national student loan payment pause! Read this great and infuriating article by @kristin_collier

[The Nation @thenation]

As the Biden-era SAVE student loan plan ends, eight million borrowers are stuck in limbo. Starting on Monday, August 10, the National Week of Action is calling attention to the “real, immediate, and irreparable harm to millions of student debtors.”
