Rainville, Vetaw, and Warren’s moderate cohort gets to run as the “good governance” and “non ideological” candidate every cycle. But if you watch council meetings. They are constantly the most disrespectful and uncivil members of the body. Shameful really.

Happy polio vaccine announcement anniversary. "There is no patent. Could you patent the sun?" remains one of the hardest remarks of all time. Kind of quote every child should be taught

I’m so sick thinking about how Trump, Elon Musk, and especially JK Rowling’s vile harassment campaign of lies and slander against Imane Khelif resulted in even more restrictions on women athletes. Meanwhile, Khelif is an actual inspiration to women and girls wanting to pursue boxing!

I am so honored to be nominated for this award. Minnesotans have until friday to vote for me. Voting link: win.emilyslist.org/a/risingstar...

A viral dog rescue from 2016 is now immortalized with a statue in Kazakhstan. When a dog fell into the Sayran reservoir, bystanders formed a human chain to pull him to safety. The statue is a reminder of the value of unity, solidarity and collective action. 14/10 for all

I missed all the children's book discourse today, but here's my advice road-tested across two kids: Just take them to the library and let them choose piles of whatever the hell they want, take them all home, and let them read them. Next week do the same thing. Over and over, pile after pile.

it’s the anniversary of the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire, the site of which — it’s easy to forget — is an active classroom building our Lilly Sabella went there to talk to professors and students about what it means to study on the same floors where the fire took place

are there any more things like this

Biochemist Florence Seibert developed the Purified Protein Derivative (PPD) in the 1930s. Before her work, TB skin tests were inconsistent & unreliable. Her PPD formula was adopted as the internat'l standard (1952) & remains the gold standard for TB testing today. #WorldTuberculosisDay #WomenInSTEM

BREAKING: Minnesota officials sue the Trump administration, accusing it of withholding evidence related to three shootings by federal officers.

HCMC — the most important safety net hospital in the Upper Midwest — is on the verge of collapse, while Mayo netted $1.5 billion in profit. It’s not just a struggling institution, it’s a broken system.

I think we're going win, but I want to win hard enough that we start paying artists to paint murals in post offices again. (This time the post offices are also banks.)

I describe it as such as a historian of disability because I want to remind scientists and the world that the history of science IS the history of eugenics, scientific racism and medical racism, and more. I’m not comforting them with the idea that it was a ‘pseudoscience.’ This is your history.

Absolutely gutting story on Annunciation parents pouring their souls into enlightening legislators, knowing they’d the GOP brick wall. But the piece contains one of the most horrifying paragraphs an American parent could read; it will stay with me: www.startribune.com/in-living-ro... (gift)

100% in favor of Sprucemaxxing this intersection.

Trump is such an asshole he’s got the Irish guy defending the English guy

I think this is the closest I've ever gotten to articulating my animating belief system.

An EXTREMELY helpful thing folks can do, if they live near a federal courthouse, is volunteer for Habeas Dockets. Docs in habeas cases aren't viewable online by default. But they are at courthouses. This site makes them available/searchable for free. Helps lawyers a lot habeasdockets.org/volunteer/

Deeply honored and grateful to have the support of Rep. Ilhan Omar, a leader who has never been afraid to put justice, humanity, and the truth ahead of political convenience. Her courage has helped blaze the path for so many of us.

$40 million could be spent in a myriad of ways in our city to effectuate better outcomes than this training facility. A massive investment in public housing would help our city’s outcomes for low- and no-income families. Investment in free childcare and elder care. The ideas are so numerous.

If Australia's not in for a US war, that kind of says it all.

It's been a bad day for Minnesota sports, so here are the fine people of Minneapolis Public Works getting one plow out of a slippery situation. More videos to come ...

Very on-brand for Gingrich to seek out a new, younger canal the moment the current canal starts having health problems

I have no need or space for this, but this 1850s apothecary cabinet — at the antiques warehouse in Hudson — is amazing

i bought a different brand of trail mix today and i like it just about as well as the last kind i bought. the only difference is that this one doesn’t have almonds and the other one did, but either way it’s not really a big deal

Which public works director is your type? Hypermasculine and rugged vs. artistic, waifish "soft boy."

WTF???!!!

The paella stand at the State Fair knew what was up

Trump has tremendous difficulty with principled people (even if as with the Iranian regime, the principles are bad). He assumes everyone is a transactional fraud like him. Works well with rich Americans and poorly with idealists of any stripe

I imagine it would be near impossible to implement this in the nation that needs it most—the US.

The same day Frey vetoed a temporary extension of the pre-eviction notice, the MN Senate passed rental assistance and… a temporary extension of the state’s pre-eviction notice. Jim Abeler voted for it so Frey & some CMs are to the right of some MN republicans. www.revisor.mn.gov/bills/94/202...

elected officials in the minnesota state senate and house representing minneapolis have sent a letter to mayor jacob frey urging him not to veto the pause evictions, save lives bill which would extend the notice period from 30 days to 60 to address the financial impact of the ICE occupation

Happy Mario day!

This puts me at 10 people released. I filed my 1st habeas petition 29 days ago. I am an incredibly small-time, nobody lawyer who knew nothing about immigration law the day I submitted that case. I barely know any more today. I had never sued the federal government and now I've beaten them 10 times.
