Time has pretty much run out on Anselm Kiefer's 'Becoming the Sea' at the St. Louis Art Museum, which closes Sunday. A couple dapper visitors looked over the sculpture hall last night. This one has been a treat.

Here's a time-lapse from yesterday as thousands of people marched through downtown Minneapolis to protest ICE. 📷️: Sydney Lewis/The Minnesota Star Tribune

Social media CAN be magic. It just performed a good service as the community helped to find a lost dog. Have a good week all!

Twitter crashed. The day is looking up.

Introducing the highest U.S. tariffs since the Great Depression, President Trump made a clear promise in the spring: “Jobs and factories will come roaring back into our country.” They haven’t.

Six federal prosecutors in Minnesota resigned over the Justice Department’s push to investigate the widow of Renee Good, the woman killed by an ICE agent, and the department’s reluctance to investigate the shooter, according those with knowledge of their decision. nyti.ms/4qUl36Z

"A doctor at the scene attempted to help the woman who was shot, but was kept away by federal agents. When an ambulance finally arrived, it was blocked from reaching her by law-enforcement vehicles, and paramedics had to reach her on foot. The woman has died." www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

@charlotteclymer.bsky.social is spot on: “It's 2025, and we're sharing bootlegs of a “60 Minutes” segment broadcast in other countries because our own nation is being run by fascists and their billionaire-owned state media helpers.”

When newsroom leadership is tied into ppl of power, coverage is tainted. I’ve seen this firsthand at local media in my old newsrooms. Maybe it starts w/ an editor cutting a line from a story or saying “x isn’t newsworthy enough.” That thinking quickly becomes embedded. Death by a thousand cuts

CBS News chief Bari Weiss pulls 60 Minutes story Weiss said investigation had to include comments from Trump administration 60M's ⁦‪Sharyn Alfonsi‬⁩ said multiple US agencies refused to comment - and this lets WH veto coverage My NPR story www.npr.org/2025/12/22/g...

This is about 1/4 of the line at the STL County building for tax payments. Got in line online, given a 2 hour wait, then texted to window 18 to pay, finding another huge line. Workers say it's a temporary glitch but there's paper on the wall indicating it's not new.

If you walked into the voting booth and put a fucking check mark next to "Donald J. Trump" for President, you cannot fucking say "I didn't vote for this". YES YOU DID. You checked the box, you posted the memes, you owned the libs, and now we are all being rewarded for your hatred and racism. Thanks.

You read the news in the morning & you know that we live in an age of terrorism. By individuals, by groups, & perhaps especially by states. Damn them all.

Don't want to be hyperbolic and say every single legal turn on this is important, but this one imho is really big. If Hanaway and SOS Hoskins lose an inevitable lawsuit and the new map has been frozen since Tuesday, then the new lines are probably dead in 2026.

“It confirms what we already knew — this was not about public safety, it’s about stoking chaos and fear and terrorizing communities,” said state Sen. Royce Duplessis.

The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted. If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

President Trump was not invited the memorial service for Dick Cheney on Thursday, and Vice President JD Vance was also not in attendance. Cheney, a once-powerful Republican, turned on Trump last year by announcing he would vote for Vice President Kamala Harris.

A Tennessee judge has temporarily blocked the deployment of the National Guard in Memphis — siding with state and local lawmakers who argued Gov. Bill Lee had overstepped his constitutional authority in sending troops to the city.

Schumer responded on the Senate floor today:“For this administration to go all the way to the Supreme Court just to get out of having to pay SNAP benefits for hungry kids is pathological levels of vindictiveness. This crisis is in the administration’s hands. It’s all them, not anyone else.” C-SPAN

This phoneless fella at bottom center has it going on at Falls Park on the Reedy in downtown Greenville SC. Be like him.

The statue of Trump and Epstein holding hands mid-frolic wasn't the first anti-Trump artwork on the National Mall in recent months. But it was the first to be removed, despite having a permit.

It seemed crazy fitting that "All the President's Men" star Robert Redford passed away on the same day the Washington Post became dead to me by bowing again to fascism and firing its moral beacon, @karenattiah.bsky.social A personal essay on losing a youthful dream www.inquirer.com/columnists/a...

The Washington Post was the paper of my teen dreams -- whose courage helped convince me to chose a life in journalism. Monday's firing of the Post's moral beacon, Karen Attiah, proved that a newsroom I'd believed in is now dead to me Why I finally ditched the Post www.inquirer.com/columnists/a...

Just back from riding the Katy Trail to Augusta, finding this graveyard of Hoffmann family-owned buildings. It’s a reminder that now they want to own @stltoday.com .

Not surprised that this is the top story. #Ferguson remains the most impactful story in the St. Louis area this century. It remains an important topic that deserves timely coverage. www.stltoday.com/news/local/c...

Dorian Johnson, the man walking beside Michael Brown when Brown was shot and killed by a #Ferguson police officer in 2014, was shot and killed blocks away from that scene this morning. Last saw him in 2019 on Brown's birthday, talking with foreign tourists. www.firstalert4.com/2025/09/07/d...

Just out getting familiar with the new gear and came across this interaction at the St. Louis Zoo between a giraffe and an Addra gazelle. While it may look loving, a keeper tells me they are both young males and it's more likely sparring for dominance.

Just drove down to St. Nicholas to grab a box of pastries before Greek Fest is over. It closes in 10 minutes, so hurry.
