Minneapolis WE KEEP IS SAFE t-shirts/stickers site is NOW LIVE: we-save-us.cheddarup.com The shirts honor everyone who resisted ICE; all $ after shipping/making costs go to Lucy Laney school mutual aid in N Mpls. Buy as much as you want; you have to add shirts to cart 1 at a time (sorry). Please RT!

Humans making art is - and always will be - incredible.

Mamdani: "I am in support of abolishing ICE. What we see is an entity that has no interest in fulfilling its stated reason to exist. We're seeing a government agency that is supposed to be enforcing some kind of immigration law, but instead what it's doing is terrorizing people."

Losers being losers. Pathetic.

Vouchers are ineffective, unaccountable and siphon funding away from the schools more than 90% of students attend. We don't need them in Minnesota -- or anywhere. #mnleg #edmnvotes
