‘Please come back’: Minnesota restaurants brace for a long recovery after ICE surge With no official bailout on the horizon, the restaurant community tries to save itself.

Recovery will not happen overnight, but we will rebuild. We can all make an impact by continuing to shop local.

We will help stabilize these businesses, protect jobs, and ensure Minnesota’s economy rebounds.

Texans: After nearly three decades in charge, “we can fix it” sounds like a confession.

“.. We could spend the whole day reacting to every buffoonish spectacle coming out of the White House, but that's exactly what they want: for us to lose focus …
Don't be distracted by the noise; watch what they are doing to your rights while you stare at the screen.”

You had me until “new apples.” Old apples varieties are near impossible to find. Stores and consumers seem to want sweeter and sweeter ones. I search for tart, crispy apples with more complex tastes.

Trump officials have blocked Minnesota law enforcement from accessing materials to investigate the death of Alex Pretti.

They also refused to cooperate with Minnesota officials to investigate Renee Good’s death.

What don’t they want the public to know?

Wonder where he learned his parenting skills. 🤔

Gross!

Insanity. They are laughing at us.

They must think the Clinton connection will nab coverage away from their master.

Medicare for All would save $450B a year.

Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.

Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.

It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.

It’s about priorities.

Hey New York, someone go get this pretty girl!

Great sitting down with Brian Tyler Cohen to talk about everything from the courage we saw in Minnesota, to how Democrats can be true to our values and get stuff done, to how we’re building a community of changemakers at the Obama Foundation. youtube.com/watch?v=uI-hgSE5QIw

Just 4 days until early voting starts in Texas (Feb 17). Do you have a plan to vote? 👊🏽

Not sure who needs to hear this but the voter fraud rate is a mere 0.000003%. Anyone telling you otherwise is making shit up so they can take away your right to vote.

A chilling scenario. Tell your Senators to vote NO on the Save America Act. Tell them to warn their colleagues. h/t @maxflugrath.bsky.social of @fairfightaction.bsky.social 1/

In just a few moments, I will vote against the so-called SAVE America Act and I am a strong no. That's because this bill would place unnecessary burdens on millions of women and eligible citizens to register to vote and make their voices heard. It is un-American & undermines our democracy.

Call #OneTermTom and tell him the Gordie Hiowe Bridge is vital to the U.S. and Michigan economy. Demand he speak up for the Michigan economy and tell Trump to butt out of the bridge opening. www.bbc.com/news/article...

We can expect nothing less from a government that values a human life at $0.00.

Republicans are still trying to pass the SAVE Act—a bill that would make it harder to vote and disenfranchise millions of Americans. Join @redistrictingaction.org and tell your member of Congress to vote no: act.redistrictingaction.org/a/natl-saveact-cte

Minneapolis protesters arrested during one-month anniversary of Renee Good’s death Several demonstrators taken into custody Saturday after marking killing of Minnesota woman by immigration officer

"One person, as they appear to be placed in handcuffs, says: 'I was here delivering pizza for the protesters. I had no idea that this was happening. I moved to the side of the curb when they started rushing everyone and now they’re arresting me.'"

“A letter tossed over the detention center fence said they’ve been held 290 days… haven’t had a single piece of fruit… no pain meds…”

@corecivic, folks

Every word of this.
