Looks like the Mara Lago catering crew set up the SCIF. Lobster tails and beef Wellington just outside.

Well, it was either all this or another black person in a Star Wars movie

Cancer research costs too much but we have the money to run Venezuela

A good day to read about Edward Bernays. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_...

Can Minnesota Democrats draft a resolution to disown this guy?

Guy on CNN just now cited Maduro's election loss and subsequent refusal to cede power as a justification for removing him. Irony's time of death, 6 Jan 2021.

Hegseth as the Smedley Butler of our times? Call it the Smoked Banana Peel War.

I am trying to learn more about ecological principles iwth a focus on birds that either migrate through Central America or live there (to better understand bird conservation efforts). Is the updated/revised "The Neotropical Companion" THE book if I want to learn more about this topic? #birds

It’s not about drugs. If it was, Trump wouldn’t have pardoned one of the largest narco traffickers in the world last month. It’s about oil and regime change. And they need a trial now to pretend that it isn’t. Especially to distract from his sinking under Epstein and skyrocketing healthcare costs.

We have to impeach him.

It really is that bad. Grant funded science, supposedly a key piece of American exceptionalism, was already a huge headache. Now it’s looking nearly impossible.

The Constitution gives states the power to determine the time, place and manner of elections. Only Congress can change the rules for federal elections. The White House has no role to play in any of this.

"A normal federal government would not take its cues from a random YouTuber and make a viral video the basis for a whole-of-government effort to crush a state." Truth from @snipy.bsky.social in @atrupar.com's PN: www.publicnotice.co/p/shirley-vi...

Wednesday, January 7th... Come learn about New Haven, Hot Springs, and Baltimore at the Black Hart Bar. I have some great guests lined up. Fun, free, informative! tcsidewalks.blogspot.com/2026/01/your...

Cover reveal. It's about how & why colonies/states controlled international & domestic migration until 1888, why in the late 19th c the feds took over, & what it was like for politically disfavored groups to live under that arrangement of power. You can't understand voluntary migration history 1/

We closed out 2025 at our favorite local restaurant—Himalayan. Pravin is my friend and fellow community member. When I walk in he greets me by my first name. The food is always delicious!

If you want to go down the Brehm-hole, here's a free link. There is a non-zero chance one of these guys voted for the authoritarian that destroyed the agency he led. Sure seems like the son isn't doing what the dad says we all need to do here. www.startribune.com/us-political...

I’ve been wondering for the last year when we’d get to the library destruction phase and here we are. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/31/c...

One of the masked bandits that showed up with this Shirley guy in Mpls is wearing a hat from what I assumed to be a "progressive" gym in town that I was considering getting a membership at. Guess I'll try Solcana instead.

Another zinger in the Strib today. Tice had to get another one in before the end of 2025. More revolving door between the Center for the 'Merican Spearmint/Strib. I can just hear the convo, "Hey Glen, we got a new one at the Center, can you give her a byline?" www.startribune.com/mn-foster-ca...

If these funds are frozen, @governorwalz.mn.gov should mobilize the National Guard to do childcare. www.startribune.com/federal-thre...

Does anyone on here have expertise on Local Government Aid (LGA) in Minnesota? I'd like to chat about what oversight the OSA does beyond aggregating date on yearly budget expenditures for towns under 2500.

The entire reason they’re locked is to prevent weird freaks like this who have no right to be there from marching in and endangering the kids.

NEW: How many books did you read this year? If it was more than 2, congrats: you read more than the median American. Read on for way more @today.yougov.com polling from me on America's book-reading habits in 2025. 1/

unvarnished gutter racism and Nazism from the president. a disgrace to our country.

The thuggery of mouthpieces for the GOP like Brehm is unmatched. The @startribune.com endorses his lies when it publishes this slop. But, even subscribers like me have come to expect low standards for fact checking from the Grove and Taylor operation. www.startribune.com/somali-commu...

This is the face of fraud in Minnesota. Aimee Bock. Her attorney is Nancy Hylden, friend of mayor Frey. I want media to stop every single white woman they see and ask them if they’re involved in fraud

A certain Minnesota town with < 500 residents gets ~$144,000 in LGA, but doesn't need most of it--they underspent their 2024 budget by $100,000. Why is the state not clawing back this wasteful spending instead of allowing these towns to take it with no requirement for a yearly audit? @dfl.org

so much of the bike infrastructure debate is shaped by the presupposition that people who drive cars need their cars, whereas people who ride bikes don’t really need them

to me Crossings by Ben Goldfarb is an essential book, like Silent Spring by Rachel Carson www.bengoldfarb.com/crossings @bengoldfarb.bsky.social

Cycling to Sandwiches, Installment 1: What a day to ride! What a day to eat a sandwich. After a killer ride to Minnehaha Falls and back on the snowy W. River Pkwy, I stopped at Shepherds Table. Elia was winding down. Had a really excellent pre-made from the hot box. Delicious. 1/2

When the white guy head of the Minneapolis Chamber of Commerce was indicted for fraud and stealing did anyone go knock on the door of All of Mpls PAC searching for the deep roots of corruption?

Remember when the Minnesota GOP was against the State Auditor actually auditing? The fraud scandal is, indeed, concerning, but it is also a lot of posturing by GOPers who have never been interested in accountability. This time, it plays to their favor to seem interested, but don't be fooled.

Chutin' the grit: a snow-removal thread. We own a corner lot across from a historic church. I think it's important to keep the sidewalk cleared. I'm not happy with the current state of it, aesthetically, but it's what I can do given the conditions. I use shovels and a Toro single-stage. 1/n

They say Mirepoix, but I say Mire-POW!

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have shown Alzheimer’s disease can be REVERSED- not just prevented. Using a potent neuroprotective compound called P7C3-A20, they found RESTORING balance to a central cellular energy molecule (NAD+) not only PREVENTED disease features but REVERSED them, EVEN at late stages.

I am reflecting on this dark event in Minnesota history today when 38 Dakota men were hanged. Something they didn't teach me in Minnesota history was about the monster that oversaw these executions. And, I'm not making this up--Col. Stephen Miller. Miller was a carpetbagger from Pennsylvania.

On this day in 1862, U.S. forces hanged 38 Dakota men in Minnesota who had been involved in a war between Dakota people and white settlers that began after broken promises to deliver food to local tribes.
