In MAGA spaces, people who have seen photos like this believe that he was in the military and have no idea that he got disbursements. The media bubbles are crazy.

My visceral anger right now (differs each day) is the knowledge that both the country's 250th and 9/11's 25th occur this year, and that their official events will lack all decency and decorum.

Your semi-annual reminder to update how you notate the time, now that Standard has changed to Daylight, e.g.:

Any ticketed venue. Lobby with cash register is decidedly business, everything afterward is fun.

Current skyway map on skywayaccess.com, linked from meetminneapolis.com Just one cartographer's map concept from 2012, on gustavus.edu

Maps & signage for the Mpls Skyway System remain terrible, even though many cartographers have proposed simpler designs based on subway maps.
I can't believe we still have this garbage.

Kristi Noem led a lawless and violent agency that wreaked havoc on our state and killed two Minnesotans. Her firing is welcome news, but it is much too late.

Sen Schmitt lying about Minnesota

Sen Schmitt is literally lying about Minnesota right now. He claims that our DoC doesn't notify ICE about prisoners at the end of their sentences. Totally wrong.
Keep Minnesota out of your mouth if you can't tell the truth.

Noem just told Sen Coons that ICE has no arrest quotas, defying what Miller has publicly stated.
Time for a whole new investigation.
