Please donate for Twin Cities rent assistance today. Couple links below.
The US govt occupied the #TwinCities and greater #Minnesota for two months with thousands of hostile armed wingnuts. There are still hundreds in the state, so some people still don't feel safe working. Some people are just getting back to work. Not every business could just reopen back at 100%. People are still struggling.

Okay look everyone. Yes you 👀
#StPaul and #Minneapolis are not the same city so get it straight.
You don't get to talk about St Paul like it's basically just a suburb of Minneapolis or something.
It is but only we get to say that.*
*Boosting doesn't count

Five minutes from where police murdered George Floyd by asphyxiation, and from where ICE shot Renee Good that morning, ICE knelt on Quentin Williams' back and arrested him. They tried to flip the story around, charging him with felony assault on an officer, later dismissed.
They also said ICE, including publicity seeking diva Greg Bovino just happened to be led on a chase by a US Citizen in the vicinity of this school housing MPS Spanish Immersion high school program when they came onto school grounds harassing students and educators.

There will be a bunch celebrities at #NoKings #StPaul tomorrow, and, that's cool and all but I kinda wish it was just gonna be 100k locals. The #resistance on #Minnesota has been highly effective because everyone, fucking everyone, stepped up, and no one tried to make it their movement. Leaders led with experience, skills, and calling, not personality and politics.

In a quest to exclude all trans women and all cis women who have the SRY gene, the IOC will subject all prospective women Olympians to genetic testing.

There are a lot of reasons the SAVE act is stupid, and one that is not discussed enough is:
*States can allow non-citizens to vote in federal elections!
*Dozens of states used to allow some non-citizens to vote!
*ONLY states can decide if non-citizens can vote or not in that state
*The federal law making it illegal for non-citizens to vote is unconstitutional
*Federally requiring proof of citizenship to vote would be c unconstitutional because of the above
Write your state legislators and ask them to bring back non-citizen voting

*Facepalm* Oh no I just realized that is of course the Sunday of May Day weekend so I may be out at the Minneapolis May Day festival. We will see though I don't always go because big crowds. So I will either be out doing that, or at the hackathon building coop online media, which is fitting! If I do make it hope to see you all, and new folks, there!
