Until no soul remains in bondage, the work isn't over.
Thank you to everyone who supported this campaign. Together we were able to do things never seen in American politics, to set a new standard from what we should expect from the people who try to represent us. What we built matters, regardless of the outcome. And the work isn’t over.

Congress has been bought, there is no line they will not let Trump cross. Joining genocidal Isreal to wage war against Iran is disgraceful. TAX THE RICH... And don't believe a word of anyone who won't say they will. Financial addiction is real... and spreads from the rich to the middle class.
Anyone who has not stood up by now, never will. They have no line that can be crossed. Vote to shutdown the government, or you are an accessory to these crimes. The people are done with this, donkeys and elephants alike, don't let the show go on, it has no good ending.
Seriously... Oh right, AIPAC bought both sides!
Hey Congress!! United States Constitution (Article I, Section 8)Congress holds the exclusive power to formally declare war, authorize the use of military force, and raise/support the armed forces. How does it feel to be nuetered? What are you doing? SERIOUSLY! WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING????
Looks like the white upper-middle class is the, often overlooked, driver of conflict in our time: "More than half of the Jan. 6 insurrectionists were white-collar workers such as business owners, architects, doctors and lawyers." www.wbur.org/hereandnow/2...

This is your police force @governorwalz.mn.gov, have you learned nothing since George Floyd's murder? This endorsement of clearing protesters is just pandering to the law-and order status-quo. Proud of the people of Minniapolis, not proud of their governer!

Let's hope this is the apex of a 5,000 year cycle, where the nurse replaces the soldior as the dominant male archetype. The benefits of healers and caregivers is greater than the that of warriors. I will to light a candle for him too.
Lighting a candle in our home tonight for Alex Peretti who was killed in cold blood in a neighborhood named after John Greenleaf Whittier, the Quaker abolitionist poet. In solidarity with all Minnesotans.
Really interesting documentary about psychiatrists around the world commenting on deppression. At one point a Canadian doctor advocates for sharing bad circumstances with society instead of blaming individuals. Really thoughtful. Watch Sad People Factory on Tubi: link.tubi.tv/fubP36x4c0b
Jimmy Kimmel giving the most balanced comic releif of our time, what a great summary of the last few days. youtu.be/P2WsfwD45cc?...

Unless we want the bad taste of history repeating, we have to do what rarely happens in America, follow through on consequences for powerful people.
Abolish ICE is not enough. Stern words for Greg Bovino or Kristi Noem is not enough. We need prosecutions and trials. Anything short of this position fails to address the gravity of this moment.

We know they lie, but this is a very clean *mainstream* declaration of that! This is a massive declaration from one of two main sources of American Corporate journalism: apnews.com/article/minn...
I don't forgive you for renewing the Patriot Act, but damn... you explain things so well. Well said @barackobama.bsky.social, and it's refreshing to see an official statement, that is actually... well... official sounding!
The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

Only choice this governor has is if the crisis is handled by him or errupts on it's own, he's playing with fire by not taking it by the horns. And if it's not the right time do anything, don't talk about how your not doing anything. Literally bringing a phone call to a gun fight.
Come the fuck ON dude. Force the damn crisis that's long been here already.
