163 years ago in Mankato, 38 Dakota men were hung in the largest mass execution in our nation’s history.
I’m grateful to the riders who continue to remind us the importance of fighting for accountability and healing for the Dakota people.

I'm Cherokee, Native American, I rarely see other Indian BlueSky accounts appearing on my feed. My Icon and profile is clearly Indian. Very few of my posts get reposted and they are far better than a lot of crap I see reposted by non-Indians. BlueSky not interested in Native American point of view?

@zohrankmamdani.bsky.social seems like the kind of person who could push this.
Bond it out and set the rent based on the cost to pay the bond plus maintenance and property tax costs. If you want to really make change set it up to sell the units to the tenants who qualify (now or future) utilizing the same basis for the mortgage term and hold the mortgage to make the interest.

Trump said he wanted to bring back “The good old days… when they [protestors] would be taken out on a stretcher.”
ICE is bringing dogs to attack people based on the color of their skin aka not perceived as white. This is state sanctioned terrorism. F*ck Trump and the Republicans who empower him.

Remember: The richest 1% evade over $160 billion in taxes every year.
That amount would fund SNAP for a year with money to spare.

So it turns out... the US air travel system was incredibly, deeply dependent on federal funding to just run day-to-day all this time, to the benefit of private airline shareholders, when everyone thinks that state-run trains are leeching off the government. Weird!

Fact. They want that Manhattan zip code regardless of what it costs them. The other 16.5 million people in NYC actually need it to be affordable rather than being forced to fund those few.

I suspect a great many New Yorkers watching wealthy people’s wealth *fail* to get them preferential access to the mayor-elect are feeling better and better about their vote for Zohran Mamdani.
Canadian multimillionaire and Shark Tank guy Kevin O'Leary went on TV to say he's upset Zohran won't talk to him: "I and others who invest in real estate have tried to get a meeting to figure out what's rhetoric and what's policy. So far for me it's been crickets."

Building a pro-worker economy shouldn’t be partisan. Investing in clean energy and good jobs should be a red, white, and blue issue—but for today’s GOP, nothing matters more than cutting taxes for the rich.
