I •think• the most important people for MN residents to call right now are MN Gov Walz and MN AG Ellison. Those numbers again:
Gov: (651) 201-3400€
AG: (651) 296-3353€
My points when I call:
- We don’t trust Trump’s FBI
- We want an independent MN-based investigation of the killing of Good
- Thank you for steps you’re already taking in this direction
- Do more, try harder
- Do so in outright defiance of the FBI if necessary
(To be clear, this is all just from Paul; if I get better guidance from more informed folks, I will share/update.)
Just got these messages from @seengoals@mastodon.social, one of the members of Gaza Verified, basically accusing me of running a fundraiser for Gaza and keeping the proceeds (I have no fundraiser on any fundraising site anywhere) and extorting me to share his fundraiser or he’ll apparently go public with it.
So here’s what’s going to happening instead: Nabil has been removed Gaza Verified (

I share much of these feelings. But unfortunately some loved ones have been sucked into the Trump Cult. It is a Cult. And when a loved one is sucked into a cult you do need to try to get them out.
But if they won't leave after showing every angle of how they are being lied to and brainwashed and they still want to follow the cult and support fascism, racism, misogyny and war crimes, then they can no longer be loved ones. And maybe need to be puched since they have become a Nazi (though I’m not a very good puncher) https://todon.eu/@PaulDitz/115832636818580869
It’s hard to believe, but Ukrainian activists have had to write explainers for a global audience,
reminding them who the true dictator is,
that it was not Ukrainethat started the war with Russia
and that we are actually just trying to defend what is ours.
And, you know, to survive a little bit.
These past three years of our lives have been referred to in many ways:
Putin’s war,
the Russo-Ukrainian war,
the full-scale invasion,

Was just reminded that I needed to kick in some more money to the BlackSky stuff.
Considering the money I’ve kicked in for great Mastodon clients and instances, the work Rudy and others are doing is well worth the same! https://mastodon.sandwich.net/@Sharksonaplane/114997406…
Hey Fedi, as a marketer I want to say: ALL OF YOU HAVE THE POWER TO INFLUENCE WHAT HAPPENS NEXT.
We can shape social movements and public opinion with the things we say. Communication CAN change minds and make improvements that feel “impossible” real and tangible. That’s how the right got as far as it did, with strong and consistent messaging.
Now, let’s be practical. HOW we talk about the events that happen matters as much as WHAT we talk about.
If we want to make a difference and mobilize people towards progressive stances while our democracy and freedom are under attack - we need to use effective language and messaging.
Don’t give airtime to conservative values and MAGA lies. Instead, appeal to the values we believe in and help shape the conversation in ways that benefit people like us who want a better future.
I’ll share some resources in the thread with actionable advice.
