And he already has a byline about it front and center on the hometown newspaper's site. www.indianola-ia.com/news/duncan-...

had a brief moment of weakness opening weekend where i considered paying to stream the Sox for the season i made the right choice from opening day starter to AAA in a couple weeks

This is real It’s being done in our name Congressional Republicans are okay with this

Little more US #history I don’t know #scotus www.tiktok.com/t/ZTkrwUp4L/

Adam Engel woulda made that catch at the wall

Got the tiniest of corner pieces

After Claudia Goldin became the first woman to win a solo Nobel in economics, she got hundreds of invitations. She accepted three. One was advising WNBA players on a labor deal. She helped players land the biggest % raise in US sports history. www.wsj.com/economy/wnba...

8 million No Kings protesters Zero police officers beaten Zero police officers killed Zero feces smeared on walls.

I was only annoyed by the White Sox today rather than disgusted Enjoy Murakami, and any other decent player, while you can

CBS turned their news operation into propaganda, kicked Colbert off the air for making too much trouble, and all that just to have Charles Barkley go on the air on one of their most-watched telecasts of the year and say this lmao

Walz: We will never leave the side of our Somali Minnesotans. Here's our pledge to you, our Somali Minnesotans, your great grandchildren will still be here when that orange clown is in the dustbin of history.

Shooting stars coming around #nativePlants

little something for the "but her emails" crowd www.reuters.com/world/us/ira...

Da Pope has us upgraded from “Chicago bang bang”

My favorite yt channel for Buffy content in honor of Nicholas Brendon youtu.be/HOSEc9p62k0?...

Absolutely love this Buffy episode. They leaned so hard into the varying genres RIP Nicholas Brendon youtu.be/dQ_ml8ygD9c?...

He’s lived a very troubled life for a very long time, so not surprised, but this is still very sad. I know it’s trendy to hate on Xander now, but he was just written as any dude of that era. I loved his friendship with Willow & Buffy in the early years. RIP. www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/n...

If you’re into tiny dots moving across the sky and muddled bird sounds this #sandhillcrane video is for you

If you're at the airport and Kristi Noem is doing the ominous little message from the TSA screens, you no longer have to do anything she says. Leave your laptop in the case, whatever.

#undisclosedLocation on a suddenly snowy night

Sunny and warm Feb day #nativeplants

I finally put together this six minute slideshow featuring the Smolenski park prairie restoration and the plants and animals in it. Six years ago it was a weedy unused farm field, now it's habitat! #nativeplants #prairie #prairierestoration #pollinators #birds www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y7MJ...

We have to keep the pressure up on Trump now that he’s backing down. That’s our role in keeping this democracy. Here’s the information you need to know: open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

Feels like society’s really broken down in the US in a way that’s deeply traumatic. But also there are college students knocking on doors asking for shovels (they’re not well-prepared) and helping trapped motorists by shoveling and pushing out cars. Up to 24 of them now, wandering streets together

It's cold outside and snowy, too! Is climate change a hoax? Not at all. Winter still brings cold weather even as the planet warms. In fact, warmer oceans + a rapidly warming Arctic can even increase the intensity of winter storms and heavy snowfall. That's why I call it Global Weirding!

Bless the people of Minnesota showing up in frigid temps this weekend to fight for democracy. 18 outside near Chicago today which is easily 20+ degrees warmer than when people were out in MN #nativeplants for a little winter interest

Minnesota lawmakers have pleaded with the Trump administration to withdraw ICE agents from the state. But why can’t they do more? The answer is deeply unsatisfying, troubling, and well worth understanding at this critical moment for our country’s future:

Use the anger you’re feeling now to get caught up and keep fighting it.

One of these forms of protest is acceptable One ends your career One gets you executed

This is the lead story on Fox right now.

Now AG Pam Bondi is using ICE as leverage to extort MN Gov Tim Walz. This is Trump’s tried and true formula: inflict pain and then demand payment to make it stop. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

This is a recording of my live on substack. I discuss what happened today and where we go from here adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/live-with-...

Before Kent State, there was the Orangeburg Massacre at South Carolina State. We're not trying to one-up you. We're demanding that you put the pieces of the puzzle together.

This can have consequences for how agents see themselves. If they put on clothes designed for war, they are more likely to see cities as hostile terrain and citizens as enemy combatants, which can increase the chance of violence. Link to the story here: www.politico.com/news/magazin...

This is apparently on X. I have a few concerns: 1) why is DHS sending photos of (alleged) evidence that should be in a secure chain of custody that is now lying on a car seat??? and 2) being armed does not on its own justify the use of deadly force — there has to be evidence he was trying to use it

sounds from another time #music #90s www.youtube.com/watch?v=dIO0...

Your regular reminder that Republicans in Congress are fine with this

#sundog, or a faint halo, for your first morning post Bear season

Wilbur Wood: 1941-2026 White Sox legend and criminally-underrated pitching star passes away at 84 www.southsidesox.com/chicago-whit...

BRENNAN: What percentage of those you have in custody have committed crimes? NOEM: 70% of them B: It's not 70% N: Yes it is. You guys pick and choose numbers B: Your agency says 47% have criminal convictions N: Wrong again. We'll get you the correct numbers B: Well, that's from your agency
