yeah @DaveOrrick is Frey's go to mouthpiece on the Star Tribune staff. Don't take my word for it, go read Orrick's past articles, particularly the one explaining away the hostile Eid al-Adha vote to intentionally keep rent control off the ballot this fall.

@asmaresists @BullyCreative @RISEsisterhood There are definitely a lot of landlords on the Northside putting them on their rentals, too. It's so gross.

[Abolish MPD @hedgiewan]

@BullyCreative @asmaresists @RISEsisterhood You've seen all those VM signs all over ward 5, right?

[Abolish MPD @hedgiewan]

@bagofmoons Yes. All people should be wearing KN-94 or better masks any time they're inside a necessary place- a school, a grocery, a pharmacy, the hardware store, target, a clinic. I don't care what you do if you're down the pub, but anything necessary needs to be masked.

@ziibiing Those river buzzsaws work both ways.

Radical organizations everywhere need to begin wrestling with something I honestly thought was further off in the future. You can act on the right side of the law, but at some point the law is put on the other side of you. This is what’s happening now in Atlanta.

This is simply an extraordinary study. Researchers gave $7,500 (CAD) to homeless people in Vancouver. The result? The program *saved* money. It helped many of them to move into housing faster, which saved the shelter system $8,277 per person. 🧵👇

Armed police officers,

in uniform & on duty,

taking women into the backseats of their patrol cars

are not having “hookups.”

[Don’t Boo…Revolt! @BreeNewsome]

There is no “coming together of both sides”

between people who value democracy

& fascists who pledge violence against anyone that won’t bend the knee to Trump.

[Don’t Boo…Revolt! @BreeNewsome]

We do not need any fake “re-election campaigns” that simply explore the viability of pro-lynching platforms.

Expel/ban the insurrectionists from office who betrayed their oath or stop calling this an election

Or both 🤷🏾‍♀️ You pick

[Don’t Boo…Revolt! @BreeNewsome]

You can *actively resist* fascism or you can enable its takeover by *passively normalizing* it.

Those are the options—period.

Millions of people in past centuries have already fought wars over this most basic tenet of the right to self-governance.

I have a friend whose sense of taste might be permanently effed. Another with fatigue. Another with brain fog that seems to be caused by an interaction with their autoimmune disease- their body is now making antibodies to their own brain.

BREAKING: Today a DC District Court threw out a Twin Metals lawsuit that sought to revive its expired leases near the Boundary Waters, once again protecting some of the cleanest water in the country. 1/

Ther ys power yn a factorye,
Power yn the hande -
But it all amounteth no thinge
Yf togethir we do not stande:
Ther ys power yn a Union

Moneye will speake for moneye,
the devil for hys owne.
But who cometh to speake
For the skin and bone?
Ther ys power yn a Union

Can you imagine asking a healthcare provider to glove up before tending to your wound and having them refuse and talk about their right not to wear gloves?

Because it's absolutely just as absurd with mask refusal in #healthcare. #Masks should be a basic standard of care.
