Dr. Cornel West has basically told CNN what the fuck was up.

He's been a pretty good ally to Queer folks too, I appreciate him and his voice.

take your pick, everywhere needs help, if you'd normally donate $20 to a bail fund but you have a fancy salaried tech job maybe donate $20 to every one on this list?

re: Intentional Misinformation - MN protests 

Developers and their politician puppets have been using this tactic of development for years with phenomenal success; it's literally impossible to have a discussion about stopping new development without someone, very often on the left, complaining that you're preventing poor people from having homes. It's a sadistic, disingenuous practice that has ruined countless cities. If affordability is based on AMI, it's a lie! (pt 2 of 2)

Intentional Misinformation - MN protests 

I have to speak up as someone who works in zoning/urban planning. The narrative of protesters in Minneapolis burning an affordable housing complex is COMPLETE SHIT. This is the website for the project: midtowncorner.com/
As you can see, only 20% of the units are "affordable". Affordability here is based on the neighborhood's income, which will rise as more rich people move in. All this to say, people know what the hell they're burning. (pt 1)

LIBERALS: Everyone please look out for anyone doing anything suspicious in protests.
PROTESTORS: Yes good idea
LIBERALS: They might be trying to do something crazy like hurt the police.
PROTESTORS: What?
LIBERALS: They might even be from… RUSSIA.
PROTESTORS: Huh?

boost this post if you’re a victim of the leftist plan to turn red-blooded american men into effeminate cocksucking girls... and you’re PROUD of it

As your Riot Dad I need you to drink water and carry water and cliff bars or other high calorie food with you.

You know what this means?

You get a fanny pack and some cargo pants. The benefit of this is having pockets for food and water so you won't pass out, but also you can carry sharpies for writing NLG numbers on people's arms who may not have a sharpie
You can also carry your meds!

If you need medication I recommend taking your bottles with enough for two to three days keep it on you.

Dumb historical metaphors 

Everyone said that the 2010s were a repeat of the 1960s when they were more clearly in line with the 1920s (increasing class divide and division between rural and poor areas, relatively good economy, xenophobia and racist organizations gaining power, new immigrant communities forming)

hi all, the minnesota freedom fund (which afaict is getting a lot of the donation traffic) has recommended also donating to reclaim the block (t.co/RfymLGhVc2) and black visions collective (t.co/7L4oV1LKtz), both of them local mutual aid organizations

if you're in the same boat as me (i.e. getting a paycheck from a tech job today) consider whether you've got the resources to keep giving, including if you've already made a donation

here's the tweet where they request this btw: twitter.com/MNFreedomFund/stat

reminder from your local pacifist: “violence against inanimate objects” is a fake idea perpetuated by white supremacist patriarchy to cast aspersions on activists and protesters

there is not a pane of glass on this planet more important than your civil rights

If your non-violent protest didn't face violent attempts by police to disperse it and it then wasn't characterised as a violent mob by the media, were you even making a difference?

I don't really have a solution because I believe in violent revolution but the reality is they will take your actions out on us.

political violence is sometimes morally justified and tactically good actually
