There is a reason that it seems like the people Kyle Rittenhouse shot and killed were Black, and why lots of folks have made that assumption. Check out my analysis about why that is the case. spokesman-recorder.com/2021/11/16/%e2…


Hey folks support me and my struggle against Covid pneumonia by going to Mpls North High game tonight 730 North Central University 910 Elliott Ave Mpls. spokesman-recorder.com/2021/12/29/mpl… via @mnspokesman


The CDC announcement just demonstrates that they are a front for Big Business. This is irresponsible and not based on the science. So ppl can just expose others after 5 days so there can be business as usual?

She is right the kids will learn they will remember they will indeed be a force to be reckoned w as the challenge the values that put profit before people and the mechanisms to keep the workers divided.

NEW: Warrior Met Coal execs got bonuses this year while the striking miners struggled to afford Christmas gifts for their kids. But we visited Alabama with @GrimKim & saw an incredible outpouring of support for the miners—and their families—who have been on strike since April 1.



Jesus knew how to give us hope and real perspective. The rich don't have it all. Money will pass but the spirit lasts forever and one day us poor folks will use that Spirit to rise up and take back what's rightfully ours, the people, the salt of the Earth

This is criminal! This is evil! No one should die simply trying to food on the table and a roof over their heads. It's time to revolt.

EXCLUSIVE: Two Amazon workers died within hours of each other at the company’s Bessemer warehouse last month. One was denied sick leave before suffering a fatal stroke. Workers tell @GrimKim that 6 people have died at the facility this year and Amazon is trying to cover it up.



Still battling Covid in Hennepin County Medical Center. Been here for a few days now. Still battling. Be safe folks mask up!

#KimPotterTrial I found it interesting there was little mention of the fact that a juror (52) said Potter arrived at a friends house to investigate an accident but began questioning why she was dating her Black boyfriend telling her she shouldnt be dating a Black man


The local Black weekly will be diligently giving the people's perspective on the Kimberly Potter trial online at the Minnesota Spokesman-Recorder. This is my latest on the trial.spokesman-recorder.com/2021/11/30/jur…


NOT GUILTY!!!So I am going to repost this. Read and comment. Tell me now that it doesnt seem like Rittenhouse killed Black ppl. spokesman-recorder.com/2021/11/16/%e2…


Just saw this. Joe Slucherary wouldn't know humanity if it slapped him in the face ( which may explain why he has that look like he has to go to the bathroom all the time) And I have seen few ppl who seem as miserable as that guy.

The defeat of the charter amendment and Cunningham damn near restores my faith in humanity.



Adele Adele Adele!! Bravo sister. Bravo Sister. Her last song brought back memories of an old school R&B love song.


I always thought that song was just cold. What a line. "He wasn't man enough for me" But that beat...And that dance line...

this was one of the most disrespectful hooks of the 2000s.



Hey Jemele come out and playyyy!! Purdue 40 Spartans 29. Purdue passed for over 500 yards ouch!! @jemelehill


This is deep. Empathy for stray animals but not homeless human beings. And the worse part is we have accepted the idea that this is ok

When you take in the entirety of this it is quite chilling and revealing. The city's power structure has absolutely no intention on holding any of these cops accountable. They have no intention on disciplining anyone. Their line is 'make us do something!'

SHARE: In 2020, the eyes of the world were on Minneapolis. We've seen what mayoral control looks like under @Jacob_Frey Vote NO on City Question 1. Stop Jacob's power grab. (CW: police violence) #DontRankFrey #NoYesYes @minnesota_faith @OurRevolutionMN @outfrontmn @SierraClubMN



Strib might as well say what it really wants to say. Oops they did already! Kelly Smith is being used to pile-on and dry snitch on Black Visions Collective, but their bounty collected on bodies of dead police violence victims is old news. startribune.com/philanthropic-…


Watching the 60 Minutes interview w Liz Cheney and she said waterboarding is not torture. Really? Maybe she needs to experience it since she changed her mind about same sex marriage after it became personal since her sister is gay.
