Nearly 200 children are buried in the cemetery at the Minnesota State Public School for Dependent and Neglected Children in Owatonna. A few years ago, one man stepped in to restore the graves — and the history — of children who died while living at the orphanage.

I'm just going to point out that "Replace HR Lady Politics With Big Strong Man Vibes" was basically the villain's plan in Trails In The Sky 1st Chapter, and it was clearly not a good idea then, either.

This sounds like the greatest afternoon ever. "These are the otters. They're heavily invested in crypto and mortal enemies of the giraffes who, as I'm sure you know, are dedicated Maoists."

Valerie Castile has a room in her home dedicated to other tributes to Philando: paintings, photographs and proclamations cover the walls. MPR News host Nina Moini talked with her there about how her life has changed and how she remembers her son now.

roses are red frey i cannot stand;

You might disagree with Kavanaugh about the constitutionality of high school athlete genital inspections, but you can't deny he's always been very consistent in his support for nonconsensually groping teen girls.

At Twin Cities Pride today and it is such an antidote to *waves hands*. One of the best things about our state and metro. Also nice that I'm volunteering at my employer's booth and we have the biggest 'DEI' sign you've ever seen!

CBS staff, you have one job and that is to incept Bari Weiss into believing she can win over Isaac Chotiner.

just finished my design for a shrimp powered air conditioner. now to take a sip of coffee and check out bluesky

I appreciate that we’re trying to define the ineffable nature of Fast Casual here, man’s reach should exceed his grasp

The city of Roseville completely closed the main road to my small business with four days notice and our sales are down 50%. Please support small local businesses even when it requires figuring out a re-route. Support @makwacoffee.bsky.social if you’re nearby. Pleeeeeeeeeeease.

Maybe you need some books about a man for our times, a violent, sweary necromancer with anger management issues. The Eric Carter series www.penguinrandomhouse.com/series/EC2/e...

Happy Father’s Day to all the papas out there. May you be as joyful as my father looks with two starlings perched upon his head. Miss you, Dad. ❤️

Happy Father's Day 🖤

This made my day

i for one have full confidence in the trump administration's ability to adequately refit a plane donated by a foreign government into a highly secure mobile command center for the united states executive, following their unquestionably successful renovation of A Large Pool of Water

This was amazing. Stevie Wonder was kind of inherently the highlight, because he’s Stevie Wonder, of course, but this was the best performance, by far. Absolutely stunning.

Legal defense fund for the Minnesota 15. Please share and support them! We keep us safe 💙🤍🩵

Really need people to stop saying that the Minnesota 15 are going to be fine, that their charges will be dropped like ours. That was four days before trial, was NOT supposed to happen, and only did because of persistent, diligent, and incredible work by our lawyers.

Kronos Quartet will record first live album in Minneapolis, with help from two local performers. More: https://bringmethenews.com/minnesota-lifestyle/kronos-quartet-will-record-first-live-album-in-minneapolis-with-help-from-two-local-performers

I don't know who made this, but they deserve a MacArthur Genius grant

Whoah! This Dietrich Bonhoeffer person sounds horrible. Was there a specific person he tried to kill or something like that?

As the government raids “antifa groups” in Minneapolis with the SAME charges levied against myself and the rest of the Broadview Six, we need to be asking how they got this indictment. And as charges (hopefully) get dropped, we must remember the process is the punishment.

ive randomly wound up reading like ten books set in minneapolis or generally minnesota in the last month or so and now i really wanna visit minnesota and swim in a lake

I wore this outside today and about 50 people asked me if I was a Knicks fan. "Knick who? Oh right. Sure. Yay sports. Um, did you actually read the shirt...?"

The death penalty is always immoral and an affront to civilized society.

Really just dying to hear @pftompkins.bsky.social perform this on Wits. open.substack.com/pub/gayzoofa...

Very stable genius.

Teaching my daughter and her anemic boyfriend how to skip stones

On Bluesky? All of us

I just went 71-11, think you can go 82-0? www.82-0.com/share?id=zjf...

Roosevelt High School students and staff bravely stood up to ICE on behalf of their neighbors during "Operation Metro Surge." I was my honor to present them with a Congressional Record recognizing their incredible courage and resilience. 💙

I’ve always said that Democrats can’t just fight Trump; we need to fight FOR something. That’s why I’m proud to stand with Peggy Flanagan, who understands what this moment requires. Glad to see that the @dfl.org agrees!

Just saw the first GOP ad for MN governor and holy shit it is flat out racist. Horrifying, genuinely.

Trans rights are human rights. Period. Everyone deserves the right to live, love, and work as they choose. Everyone deserves to be safe in their community. Everyone deserves to be free from discrimination and hatred. Everyone deserves protection from tyrannical government overreach.

So, a quick story. I have been at @comicpalooza.bsky.social, been swamped with long lines almost the entire weekend so far, and there was this very nice gentleman named Jin (not sure of the spelling). He came the first day and said he was bringing books the next day to get signed. 1/

YOU’RE LISTENING TO SISYPHUS FM, THE HOME OF NON-STOP ROCK

Yes, that's Gov. Tim Walz on Alien Super Show. Walz: "I'm not running again, so the guardrails are off. I asked and said, 'Can I go on shows where I can say, "fuck those guys"?'" You've come to the right place, governor. New episode drops this weekend.

Let's see how it goes

a lot of us learned the hard way that BLUESKY DOES NOT REMOVE YOU FROM THEIR FOLLOWERS IF YOU BLOCK SOMEONE YOU WERE FOLLOWING, it's a two-step process and if you're used to Twitter's soft-block you may not always remember

COSTCO: here, try this ME: oh yummy COSTCO: so you like it? ME: yes, it's delicious COSTCO: well, we don’t sell it anymore and you'll never see it again.

you’re not going to want to miss this one

I’m pro-freedom, pro-law and order, pro-limited government, and pro-the Declaration and the Constitution. And so today I’m a Democrat.

RIP Claudine Longet.

The travails of poor Kash Patel! His fuck-ups just make his life hell. It just seems the lad Is a hard-drinking cad Who doesn’t do ANYTHING well.

NEW — The Handbasket presents FASCIST VACATION by Chrisitian Dawson www.thehandbasket.co/p/sean-duffy...

We've known for well more than a year that RFK Jr. wants people with mental illness to be dead or in work camps. Having a eugenicist in charge of health & human services is not great.
