Because the World Cup is about celebrating the beauty of immigrants, we’re donating 10% of our sales today to support the victims of Belfast racist violence. The world supported Minnesota when we were occupied, it’s our turn to return the favor.

I saw two different people wearing this shirt at the May Day parade and I just love the dedication Minneapolis has to hating the mayor

The parade of whistles might have been my favorite part of the Mayday parade in Minneapolis today. Very powerful and moving.
A bunch of people wearing paper mache whistle hats all brightly painted and some representing different Minnesota places or people.A large orange whistle on top of a bike that has "ICE GTFO" written on the side.I really dug this kid's First Avenue whistle.

The Minneapolis May Day Parade was everything Bluesky told me it would be. What an amazing display of art and community.

Men who have never had to care for anything or anyone spouting nonsense like this is infuriating. I bet none of them have had to give a spongebath or lift someone out of a chair or even make a damn meal.

People should talk openly with their loved ones about death early and often. Think about who you want making decisions for you if you are incapacitated (and sign the legal paperwork to enable this!) and what your end of life wishes are.

This thread is a banger - it expands beautifully upon the somewhat less bangerific thread I posted last night after too much weed. It's about discomfort tolerance, and people who want to *act* like assholes, but can't stand the idea of other people *thinking* they're assholes 👇👇👇

The question that broke America fundamentally was ‘do all people deserve basic rights?’ This question was too hard for us. Too hard for our leadership. It still is. So now all of our rights are in jeopardy.

Allina to be acquired by a CA nonprofit, Sutter Health. Honestly not super surprised in retrospect, Allina has been struggling financially for awhile...

when any of us here say that closure of HCMC will decimate the entire state’s healthcare ecosystem, it’s real a lot of us who haven’t had our jobs cut (yet) are choosing to stay there despite our paychecks shrinking this year with a pay freeze & benefits costing more may we save mother hennepin 🙏

Queer folks gave up on Target even before the anti-DEI backlash. They turned their back on the queer community and went from having a great, thoughtful mainstream selection of Pride Month products to generic, sad, and tiny Pride sections.

The most important hospital in Minnesota isn’t Mayo, it’s HCMC. Oppressed people statewide end up as economic refugees in Minneapolis, where HCMC is the hospital of last resort. If you’ve seen “The Pitt,” HCMC is our version of that. Their people care about you when nobody else will

He literally says in this clip that ICE will keep in Minnesota “quick reaction forces” — a military term — to go after “agitators.” Remember that those on the ground in MPLS have spent more than a week trying to tell everyone that Trump’s prior “deescalation” was a ruse and ICE is still operational

I believe the first image depicts a snow sculpture re-made by @smokiwuff.bsky.social/their team. They were disqualified/their sculpture defaced at the St Paul Winter Carnival for being "political." The 2nd image is by Team USA from the World Competition in Stillwater.
