It’s been an honor to represent North Minneapolis—the love and confidence my community has shown me over the years has been truly humbling. It is with tremendous pride and satisfaction that I announce I will not be seeking re-election. Full statement below:
“Nothing is more important than stopping fascism, because fascism is gonna stop us all.” - Fred Hampton
No one is above the law, including Trump and his oligarch cronies. Release the Epstein files.
Only Black people are expected to forget their history. All others are encouraged to preserve it.
In many ways, the right hates America more than anyone on the left does.
Guess the country.
The most anti-worker population in the western world.
Imagine being an employee at a company that has NEVER turned a profit and showing up to work in these shirts.
I will go now to look for food. I will not return until I find food for my children and my cat, even if it costs me my life. Please pray for me.
In the past month, NYT has published 32 articles that mention Mamdani/"globalize the intifada", 13 on Israel's fake "aid" agency that's killed 800+, 5 on Israel's starvation campaign & 2 that mention Gaza child amputees. I argue this is objectively insane columnblog.com/p/child-ampute…
The biggest problem with this debate in particular is this is not a debate at all. Fascists don’t debate. They use debate to launder their views so they can gain legitimacy, but when it comes down to it they simply want to kill people who aren’t them

“We should not be waiting for singular charismatic leaders to tell us what direction to go, but instead be like midwives, supporting the birth of movements that are already emerging.” - Grace Lee Boggs
The Democratic Primary did not go the way I had hoped either. 🤷🏻♂️ But unlike Andrew Cuomo, I’m capable of listening to New Yorkers. (Also, I like to think I got a little better at making videos as the campaign progressed) Help @ZohranKMamdani crush Andrew Cuomo a second time:…
In it to win it.
Alarming headline: "Minneapolis rain gardens were built to reduce water pollution. Research shows they’re making it worse." Story says it's about one kind of pollution (phosphorous from compost) and a researcher says they're "still highly beneficial." startribune.com/minneapolis-ra…
Being afraid of Minneapolis is up there among the absolute funniest things.
Lovely night in Minneapolis, apologies to all the people who are afraid to come here 🫶
Man, that whole bizarre story sure vanished out of the national news spotlight pretty quick, didn't it?
All to fight free buses, free childcare, lower priced groceries, and freezing the rent. These assholes spend more on cocaine in one week than they are threatened to lose here. But we let them guide our thought through media, culture, paid "experts", and internet algorithms.
Billionaires are throwing $20M against Zohran Mamdani, with no message, no viable candidate, and no voter base — just to protect their wealth and control over City Hall. They are trying to buy an election and don't care who knows. Billionaires aren't compatible with democracy.
israeli book cover: childlike drawing of imagined horrors against white women Palestinian book cover:
The Dinah Project did what the international institutions wouldn’t — they investigated and documented Hamas’s use of sexual violence on and after October 7 as a deliberate weapon of war. What they found was horrifying: 🔴 Sexual violence was widespread and systematic, across at…
People like Dean love to say “neither far right nor far left” but never want to name which left ideas they think are equal to which rightwing ideas. Far left: healthcare for all, housing as a human right Far right: racial purity, no rights for workers. Dean stands for nothing.
Question: Is there room for you and Mamdani in the Democratic Party? Phillips: The answer, ultimately, I think, is no When you have socialists in the Democratic Party, I don't know how anybody could argue that that would be beneficial for the party or for the country
My Grandma, Audrey Huisinga, turns 98 years old today. This means she has been alive for 39% of the entire history of the United States.
