Please watch the whole video from our Saint Paul Olympian. It’s one of the most direct and eloquent statements about the situation that I’ve heard from anyone. Proud to be a Minnesotan, proud to be represented by Rich Ruohonen.

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

For many in the Trump regime it seems incomprehensible or a scam of sorts that those not categorically under attack by ICE are so committed to solidarity with their neighbors who are, and thereby to universal human rights, to standing up on principle, and will risk their lives to do so.....

70% of ICE detainees have no criminal convictions, according to govt data. Don’t fall for Trump’s lies about targeting the “worst of the worst.” As ICE terrorizes cities to fill up detention centers, remember that some of Trump's major donors are private prison corporations.

Door-to-door raids also began in Minneapolis today, in about as brazen a repudiation of the fourth amendment as one could make. An amendment which exists because of the British doing exactly this in the colonial/revolutionary period.

1. Call and/or e-mail your Senator and your House reps. Demand Noem be impeached and removed; demand that ICE be defunded. (They're only funded through the end of January!)

So, I wasn't sure what to expect with this video: did not expect to learn the phenomenal origin of the phrase term "redneck" (spoiler: it's a symbol of worker solidarity!). It literally made me cry.

We need to stop using a framework of 'ChatGPT killed someone', it feeds into the myth of the system's agency & OpenAI's framing. The right framework to use: OpenAI is continuing to perpetuate an indefinite industrial disaster. The oil pipe is not at fault when it breaks. The company that built it is

Just saw this wildly disturbing advertisement for GalaxyAI, and I'm curious what highlights in your own timeline has enlarged your social circle? Making music/theater have been big ones for me, as well as education (mine and my kid's) and church. Recently also makerspaces and the library.

Once you see it, you can't unsee forced car dependency. Cars have degraded our entire economy, environment, culture, and lives. Forced car dependency makes us poorer, less healthy, and less connected to our neighbors. The first step of a cure is to recognize that we have a car problem.
