Remind me which Senators voted to confirm Bovino and Noem? #ICEoutMN #ImpeachNoem #AlexPretti #CorruptGOP

Every now and then I find something of interest in the @startribune.bsky.social sports section. www.startribune.com/2026-world-c...

We are now 30 days beyond the statutory deadline for the full release of the Epstein files

If you are just doing your job, why would you mind if a bystander takes a few pictures? You might get Employee of the Month! #ICEout #MinnesotaNoICE #ImpeachNoem

Democrats in Congress seek to impeach Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem wisconsinexaminer.com/2026/01/14/r...

If you are a news reporter - especially in DC- what are you doing right now to protect yourself and secure your work product in case these thugs come for you, too?

To be clear, #fraud is not a form of terrorism. Armed, masked agents breaking down doors and attacking peaceful demonstrators DO count as terrorism, however. And #Minnesota is getting very weary of the thuggery. #ICEout

James Rodden, the ICE prosecutor who the Observer identified last year as the violent white supremacist operator of an X account that posted “America is a White nation," “‘Migrants’ are all criminals,” and apparent praise of Adolf Hitler, appeared to be back at work Tuesday.

If you're tired of paying these goons to harass my friends and neighbors, call your members of Congress and get out in the streets, please. Now would be great. Today. Thank you. #ICEout #MinnesotaNoICE #LocalJournalismMatters www.startribune.com/ice-raids-mi...

"The question isn’t whether Democrats should or will impeach Trump. The question is why won’t Republicans? He is guilty of higher crimes and more misdemeanors than anyone who has ever sat in the Oval Office. He knows it. The whole country knows it." Read @eisendrath.net:

This woman's son, born in Minneapolis, got roughed up by ICE, and she is NATIVE! Think about that: If anyone has a claim to be here, it's the son of an enrolled member of a Minnesota tribe. #ICEout #LocalJournalismMatters @startribune.com www.startribune.com/us-citizen-a...

The feds don't want @marymoriarty.bsky.social investigating. Of course they don't. Anyone can see that she's smart, thoughtful, and relentless in pursuing justice. Afraid of Minnesotans? Fine, then, take your goons and get out of here! #ReneeGood #ProsecuteNoem #ICEout #MinnesotaNoICE

It turns out the puppy was just practice. #ReneeGood #ProsecuteNoem

Minneapolis schools cancel classes after Border Patrol clash disrupts dismissal at Roosevelt www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

@governorwalz.mn.gov you've done a lot to earn the esteem of your constituents. Yesterday's announcement took the game to a whole new level. You put your state's people -- ALL of us, from our many backgrounds and experiences -- ahead of your own desires. Thank you!

Maybe Rump heard this old Harry Belafonte lyric and got it stuck in his head: "Matilda, Matilda, Matilda, she take me money and run Venezuela"

No money for illegal war in Venezuela.

Congress, you up?

Occupation, always works out well. #venezuela

Working my way through this inspiring essay in a back issue of the @washingtonmonthly.com (this is why I need print, so I can have piles). Raise a glass to Sam Adams! washingtonmonthly.com/2025/06/01/r...

Lisa Demuth, Republican House member now running for governor, garnered my respect for her gracious comments after Melissa Hortman was murdered. But encouraging a young man with a camera to invade day care centers based on the ethnicity of the people inside ... yikes!

Inflation in Iran at 42%. Journos, please reserve the use of the term "skyrocketing " for circumstances closer to that. Six percent is annoying but hardly a vertical climb. #inflation

Feeling like a loser because I only have a few very cheap meds and it seems like other people will be paid a lot more to take their meds. 500% more or something like that? #rumpspeech #presidentialarithmetic

"It's important that people know that it's happening." Sure is! Excellent reporting by Bill Lukitsch @startribune.com #localjournalismmatters #ice #corruptGOP www.startribune.com/under-the-ra...

I actually think it will be kind of fun to watch Mike Lindell ramble on about fraud. Hopefully he wears out that creaky voice in the effort. #corruptGOP

Today marks one year since the Dec. 3, 2024 martial law declaration that rocked South Korea and still reverberates today. What’s on my mind today is the grit of South Koreans who rushed to the National Assembly that night, in freezing weather, to demand a return to democratic government.

I forget, where does the buck stop? #hegseth #venezuela #corruptGOP

A proposal worth considering if we're serious about #housing for all: www.startribune.com/mn-housing-a...

Unfortunately, in US journalism it is considered neutral to spread a lie, but it is considered "biased" to call out a lie. So, there is a structural asymmetry that rewards colorful lies with virality.

Every Trump appointee is committed to ignoring the difference between holding a responsible office of the United States and being a partisan advocate hack. It's bad across the board, but it's catastrophically bad in the Attorney General, the Secretary of Defense, and the Directors of the FBI & CIA.

#PeteHegseth can't possibly believe the guards were shot because they were protecting the community. He can't actually be that stupid. I was teaching at Forest Lake HS when he was a student there, and if he was that foolish, my colleagues who knew him would have said so by now. He's lying.

The Border Lands Conservation Act gives the Department of Homeland Security the power to waive myriad federal laws, including the Wilderness Act, under the pretense of border security, shares Public Domain. buff.ly/S4kysfY

The would-be king building a ballroom while slashing food and health services tells us all we need to know about the values of the Republican Party. Sad. #corruptGOP #SNAPcuts #EastWing

“I’ve not heard of anything this egregious — a donor calling up and saying I need help and getting it,” one disaster relief expert said, “while others may be getting denied assistance or otherwise waiting in line for help that may or may not come.”

On Tuesday, hundreds of U.S. generals and admirals are scheduled to attend an emergency meeting called by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. Our own @alexandrachandler.bsky.social, a former intelligence analyst, outlines the stakes. Read her full take here: https://protdem.org/42SBgzU

My military experience is limited to a lot of games of Risk many decades ago, but don't you want to spread your high ranking officers around the board? Putting them all on one square seems like asking for trouble. #hegseth

No for-profit private corporation exists to protect free speech, even as an American value. They exist to make money. But it's as ridiculous for these execs to think that caving to an authoritarian to lessen the pressure, when it gives Trump more power and will do the opposite.

I visited downtown Rochester on a summer day. I remember a riverside park with few features and almost no people; wide streets that were hard to cross; long stretches of blank building facades. Seems like a big opportunity for fresh ideas. #urbandesign #bikes www.startribune.com/booming-down...

If you think that dramatic spikes in ocean temperatures aren’t much of a concern, it’s time to think again. There is no time to wait. #ActOnClimate #climate #energy #heatwave #ClimateBreakdown

Welcome progress in making climate science a little more operational (and responsive). (This is what we were talking about in our opinion piece last year: www.nytimes.com/2024/11/13/o... @hausfath.bsky.social )

A new study concludes that the uninhibited pumping of groundwater by farmers, cities and corporations around the world now accounts for 68% of the total loss of fresh water at the latitudes where most people live. By @abrahm.bsky.social

🧵Posted yesterday that Melania knew Epstein before she knew Trump. This is Paolo Zampolli, her former escort agent & good friend of Epstein & Trump. He's the one who took Melania to Ghislaine's party where she met Trump. He's also the one who secured her Einstein visa All the dirty details below

After a trip to Japan and Korea, where there are clean public restrooms everywhere, I'd like to see us give this a try. Among other advantages, it makes long walks possible, and we really need to walk more. www.wsj.com/tech/persona...

More good work from public media. I guess we can see why Rump and Co. want it to go broke. #LocalJournalismMatters #publicbroadcasting #NPR

Geez, how male can a list of movies get?
