I think it's important to boost news of the general strike in Minneapolis today and it's possible to do it without the hyperbole that nobody in the media is covering it
It may not be getting the attention it deserves! Posting links to reported stories is one way to combat that!

While we’re on the subject of Oscar nominations, I feel like now is a good time re-up this article from Teen Vogue: www.teenvogue.com/story/oscars...

Read this thread, if you have a few minutes of your time.
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.

So often, the way we are taught history erases the solidarity between protest movements. But it was there.

We are perhaps the only nation which tried as a matter of national policy to wipe out its Indigenous population. Moreover, we elevated that tragic experience into a noble crusade. Indeed, even today we have not permitted ourselves to reject or feel remorse for this shameful episode.

To be politically conscious from 2000-2009, and more specifically from 2001-2005, was to have your brain stamped with a feverish Curse of Knowing. So when you see shit like this, all you can think is “Dick Cheney insisting on links between Al Qaeda and Saddam”. You never forget the scent.

Germany has spent the last few decades lying through their teeth to the rest of the world. Such should be obvious by now. They never learned from their past, nor have they confronted it in any substantial way.

As someone who has canvassed more often than the majority of Americans, I can attest to this. The median American voter is an enigma that is beyond the reach of any political science study/article.
Everyone who is politically attentive should canvas at least once if for no reason other than to see firsthand how utterly incoherent the politics of the modal American are. "Homer Simpson webpage" incoherent is the baseline and it either pleasantly surprises you or deeply horrifies you from there.
Looked into TJ a bit and he’s a snowboarding bro who used to post Ron Paul memes and then later memes about BLM, and now Elon and Trump destroying American, what voter type is this
