I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.
Not saying it was the right move but I really don't want to sit through another wave of liberal "violence is not how you end an illegal military occupation" statements that condemn everyone and everything except the occupiers. If your politics end at "respect the troops" you're a fucking clown.
RNC/DNC both fund ICE both will pay
Absolutely unhinged that people are defending Israel's aggression against Iran. Like yeah the Iranian dictatorship is awful and we all remember them brutalizing the feminist movement a few years ago. But Israel is a democracy that CHOOSES to commit genocide. The average Israeli VOTES for this.

old Soviet joke for our times:
Guy stops by the newsstand every day, scans the front page, doesn’t buy the paper. One day the vendor asks what he’s up to.
Guy says: “looking for an obituary.”
Vendor says “those are towards the back of the paper, comrade.”
Guy says: “not the one I’m looking for.”

You can extinguish tear gas canisters!
Wearing gloves, submerge the canister in a wide-mouthed water jug containing baking soda, dish soap, and/or vegetable oil—3 tablespoons of each per liter of water.
Cover the top with one hand, just enough to keep the gas from getting out, and shake the jug.
Indigenous activists are being assisinated in the 100's every year in the Americas yet the media ignores the Indigenous activists killed in the USA or dying young under suspicious circumstances.

A big misconception about Greenland is that since it’s labeled a Danish colony, its residents are just a bunch of white dudes named Kristian—which is extremely harmful and inaccurate.
The population is 85% Indigenous! It belongs to the Kalaallit people, not to Denmark and CERTAINLY not to the U.S.
