Minnesota appears to be in gear for a mass uprising. Unions, community organizations, faith leaders, and small businesses there are calling for a statewide day of “no work (except for emergency services), no school, and no shopping” on January 23 @lfelizleon.bsky.social reports 🧵1/7
The beating heart of a fighting labor movement is in Minnesota. One of the key battles for the future of working people will be determined there. Trump’s goons are treating their assault on the state as a workshop for what to do next. Solidarity is the answer.

I'm back with a new edition of What's on Fire, where I discuss the first few days of session in the Georgia Assembly & Governor Kemp's State of the State address.

This is a once in a generation election cycle and each of us can play a part in flipping our state for the better.

I spoke with WABE about the proposal to extend the TADs. If we need $5 billion, instead of robbing Peter to Paul, we should tax the ultra-rich and fairly appraise luxury commercial properties! www.wabe.org/what-are-tax...

Trump regime ICE forces attacked witnesses and onlookers at the scene of the Minneapolis ICE murder. People defended themselves with snowballs and tried to block them from fleeing.

WARNING — GRAPHIC CONTENT

This video is absolutely horrific. ICE shot and killed a woman in her car as she was attempting to drive away.

The violence and aggression must stop. Get ICE out of our cities.
