Reposting because this drive is still active and I haven't been asking much since the "drawdown", but my Somali neighbors are under attack again, so please support one of their strongest neighborhoods. The beautiful Cedar-Riverside. Thanks.

A call for all Minnesotans: show up at your neighborhood mosque today; whistles, signs--We Love our Neighbors, We Love our Somali Neighbors. Show up, between 12 and 2 (prayer time). (this is the post you should reshare, buds).

awarding the nobel to navi pillay is 100% merited. her career/views is a rejection of trumpism, eg: - international law at center of her career - deep commitment to human rights institutions - leadership of int'l justice (ICC, ICTR) - foreign student earned JSD at Harvard so much to celebrate.

Last time I succumbed to this feeling, I asked myself, “If I wake up on November 4 and this happened, and I could transport myself back to today, what would I do?” That’s when I began doing two doorknock shifts a week. If your life allows, please do what you can now. You can help change the future.

Reactionary centrists treat “Abolish ICE“ as a metaphysical question of whether immigration enforcement is ever justified. But it is really a practical question—how can you allow a fifth column paramilitary that wants to overthrow democracy to continue to exist in your government?

Very VERY glad to see Jon Ossoff leaning all the way the fuck away from the centrists trying to tell dems to "reconcile" or "tone it down" or "find the persuadable republicans." This is the shit, right here. Hammer down and make them have to say on live TV that they love Nazis. The end.

The Twin Cities have not forgotten. As there has been no justice, I have not managed to forgive. Not yet.

Photo of the cover of the book Rebel Loon Archive. The art is lovely. It is "La Gata Fea Linocut" by The Rebel Loon Archive, 04/26/2026.

The linocut is on a white background. It is an ombre of pale yellow at the top quickly moving to a brownish-red, then a deep navy blue. At the top are clouds and a sun. The sun encircles the head of a loon. The loon is outsized, giant, its wings spread to both sides and covering the skyline of Minneapolis. The city rests on the Stone Arch Bridge over the Mississippi River. The words The Rebel Loon Archive are across the bottom under the river. To each side of the skyline, under the loon's wings, cattails and flowers reach up from the river to enclose the city in nature.
