When are ppl going to learn that the police aren't some magically extra-trustworthy group of people who are better than everyone else. Quite the opposite, bc they automatically are given trust and power and allowed to abuse it, the job always has and always will attract predators.

I’m a proud Minneapolis Public Schools alum and parent. After talking with MPS families, I’m deeply concerned about the district’s current plan to close 14 or more schools.

This news is important because all the fucks out there actively attempting to wreck the world want you to think that the work is hopeless and just mitigating the worst case scenario. It's not. Fucking keep going.

Everyone defending bringing iced coffee to an interview is just plain wrong. You shouldn’t be bringing a prepared beverage to an interview. You should bring all the ingredients and make one right there in the conference room for you AND the interviewer. Shows ambition, self-reliance, and foresight.

i am incredibly excited to share our research about how paying people’s rent through mutual aid made an impact on minnesota this year we accidentally collected more data than anyone ever has for an effort like this, and can very seriously say we prevented an eviction bubble that everyone expected

Twin Cities, this is one of the people who was working on top of the roof in Chanhassen when ICE trapped them on the roof. People rushed to their defense from miles away. But these laborers were stuck in freezing temperatures for hours at a time & suffered injuries. Please help as you're able 💙🩵

This was the family that Norm Nation kept from being evicted (and you delivered). ICE had released their loved one.
