A letter to the Strib reminded me that last year, Tom Emmer, Pete Stauber, Brad Finstad and Michelle Fischbach publised a letter criticizing Canada for not doing more about its wildfires that bothered Minnesotans. Surely they have plans to battle the current MN wildfires, right? Right? Right?????

They just opened a cowardly short 14-day public comment period. Make your voices heard. PLEASE. Link Below 🔗👇🏽 eplanning.blm.gov/Project-Home...

Wooooooow it's smokey out there

💔

Linda Ronstadt is 80 today. Sheesh.

Horrible day. ICE is preparing a deportation flight to Laos so some of my former, current, and were-to-be clients are being brought to the Whipple Building and shipped off to Louisiana for final removal. Lots of calls from them, their families, and friends. So much pain visited on our community

His name was Joan Sebastian Guerrero, a loving husband and father murdered July 13, 2026. We stand with the people of Maine, their protest, and their quest for justice for another innocent civilian murdered at the hands of ICE.

Egad

Folks, there's an open comment period that closes on Monday about having federal grants be determined on how well they align with Trump, not on merit. Let 'em have your thoughts. docs.google.com/document/d/1...

It begins. www.mnstatefair.org/new/food

Excited.

Mall Capacity: 150,000 people. Hydration Stations: 4

Good news, Bluesky users: There will be a make-up weather siren test next week on Wednesday, July 8 at 1 p.m.

Hennepin County has cancelled the monthly outdoor warning siren test today due to the potential for severe weather. If you hear sirens today, assume it is a real alert and seek shelter immediately.

So @repangiecraig.bsky.social is being promoted by a pac that pretends it's Minnesotan when in fact it's from someone on the East Coast. And clearly doesn't understand what "Minnesota nice" is.

America’s real state fair starts August 27th. Plan accordingly and thank you for your attention to this matter.

Not sure if I should be flattered or insulted that my daughter thought I should get this game

pretty devastating dunk at the end of this paragraph

Well. Quite the hailstorm.

ALERT 🚨 Federal agents are being seen across our community as they arrest observers. Let me be clear, alerting our neighbors about ICE activity is not a crime, observing is not a crime, and loving your immigrant neighbors is not a crime. 1/

Don't think Disclosure Day is ever going to show up on any "best of Spielberg" lists.

museums send us your jugs

Please give Patricia from Widow's Bay a show of her own.

Hey! I'm leading a book group on Octavia Butler's short story collection Blood Child on 6/21 at @moonpalacebooks.bsky.social It'll be fun, and you should come!

🤣

ICE vehicles have been seen this morning in the Corcoran and Powderhorn neighborhoods/ South Minneapolis. It would be great to get extra support from community today. Please help out in your local area. 1/

Scott Pelley should host a public access tv show in exurban Michigan tonight.

Minnesotans, go see the movie Pressure. Not only is it engrossing and well-acted, it's got a totally Minnesota theme: it's all about weather. Granted, it's about weather around D-Day in Europe, but still. Weather!

Ok, I was not prepared for the final episode of Hacks.

South Minneapolis friends: ICE activity is high today. Please keep your eyes out.

Yup, @angiecraigmn.bsky.social should be ashamed to call herself a Democrat.

Folks, send this to all your relevant government representatives. They need to be on record supporting this.

Well holy crap. Erin Brockovich (yes, the same one the led the Hinkley, CA toxic groundwater lawsuit in ‘93) launched a website tracking AI data centers across the US and the ecological impacts to the environment and drinking water. MN is riddled with them. www.brockovichdatacenter.com

*strikes 'mutant super pig population' off the 2027 bingo card*

With permission from one of my habeas clients, I can share that the Bloomington Police Department is proactively cooperating with ICE to detain our neighbors. This is a screenshot of official ICE records which show that a BPD officer reached out to ICE to drop a dime on someone in local custody.

Not sure where Widow's Bay is going, but I'm definitely along for the ride.

What a sweet story: www.startribune.com/hennepin-cou...

There were some interesting ideas in the 1980s about what would make a fun card game.

Border collies when there's no sheep to herd..🐕🐾😅

Rainy day

Yup.

Drivers in Cabo San Lucas could teach drivers in MN a whole lot about zipper merges.

In today's episode of "Tourists Gonna Tourist": Camels!

Cheers to Artemis!
