Looks like we need to be growing more candidates in vats.

Love this concept! Library with apartments, in Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel. #LocalJournalismMatters #housing

USPS is now on the verge of dramatically limiting voting by mail. The postal service is proposing a rule to limit mail-in voting for the midterms, expanding federal control over voting without congressional approval. It's a big step in Trump's plan to take over elections.

I subscribe to the @startribune.com because it's excellent and necessary, but it's pretty satisfying to be invested in a Pulitzer winner (again). Congratulations to a great paper! May Minnesota's next year be so boring that no one will even be nominated. We all need a rest. #LocalJournalismMatters

Caught a little of the citizenship debate at SCOTUS this morning (thank you @npr.org ), and basked in the sound of women's voices- lawyers and judges all - charged with guarding the common good. I'm old enough to remember when those voices were almost all masculine.

@startribune.com continues to hound this. Subscribe to your local paper, please. This requires resources! #LocalJournalismMatters #ICEout #corruptGOP www.startribune.com/ice-surged-i...

Minnesota’s chief federal judge Patrick Schiltz rejected allegations by Minnesota’s U.S. Attorney Daniel Rosen that the judge overstated the number of court violations Rosen’s attorneys have made in immigration cases.

Great event on March 3: How powerful corporations — including Amazon, Instacart, and major landlords — are using pricing algorithms to inflate prices and undermine competition. With Doha Mekki, Katie Wells, Ted Tatos, and moderator Geoffrey Fowler. Register here: ilsr.org/article/inde...

Exactly four years since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Bellingcat’s Volunteer Community looks back at the data we have collected on civilian harm during this time - documenting attacks on cities and the near-total destruction of rural villages. www.bellingcat.com/news/2026/02...

🚨The most important graph in the world has another year of data, and it doesn't look good!🚨 NASA CERES satellites measure how much sunlight Earth absorbs and how much heat is radiated back to space. The difference is heat accumulation, which has more than tripled!

Another day, another extrajudicial killing by our federal agents. This one breaks my heart: I have young adult children. #ICEout #RubenRayMartinez

This so wrong. And stupid. Why would anyone ever help us again?

A crime against humanity.

Oh, look at that, the people being imprisoned by the Trump administration were doing important work. Now we're paying prison operators thousands of dollars a day to prevent workers from building houses. Nice job, #corruptGOP ! www.startribune.com/ice-immigrat... www.startribune.com/ice-immigrat...

Minnesota electricity customers still might be on the financial hook for coal plants in other states that were scheduled for retirement but ordered by the Trump administration to keep operating, including a plant in Michigan.

What a sad state our country is in when we see a message like, “The only thing more powerful than hate is love,” and we all immediately know it’s about the President of the United States.

Minnesota needs help on this front too- please call your GOP Senators . I'm not sure it's unrelated to the ICE occupation ; the colonial hunt for minerals sorta looked similar ? www.startribune.com/bwca-copper-...

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

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

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...

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.”
