Ice officers detain a Venezuelan man while working in Hibbing Several ICE officers detained Alvaro Villamizar, a Venezuelan man working for a non-profit on the Iron Range in Hibbing on Monday June 16th.

This happened over a month ago but it needs refreshed attention. A man with documents and legal entry notified DHS that he would self deport in August when his visa expired.

Ice arrested him 2 days later and he’s been in a detention center since.

We keep trying to make an opposition party but the old guard leftists say new candidates are too radical and the tanky leftists keep fighting with everyone

Hey. I don’t think the problem of right wing radicalization through dubious media sources that spread mis- and malinformation is actually going to be solved by ground news.

Proud of this little patch of native prairie plants I grew (centered around the black-eyed susans) It’s definitely not much but it’s meant a lot to be able to discover new plants & insects everyday I visit it. Depression is crippling but I still did something I enjoy this summer. And that’s enough.

Hey. Remind me again what the recommend safe amount of mercury is for human consumption. That’s right it’s ZERO

Important to note two things:

Iron pyrite is actually fairly abundant in tailings piles and waste rock dumps.

And taconite has such a low concentration of iron, making it barely profitable to mine, that one else in the world mines it, except for on the iron range.

What hopefully is clear with this article is that the fight to protect Mn lake and rivers from sulfide pollution begins at the existing iron mines. Not just with proposed Cu-Ni mines. Enforcing statewide regulation is the only way to safe mining!

Very excited to see this article! Way to go for all involved in putting this together!

Cooking oil instead of butter. Brown sugar instead of white. Blend cake flour with a little more bread flour. I guess.

I mind a little. But I won’t say anything. A little second hand smoke never hurt anyone.

Absolutely best way to refer to him. 10/10. Sent me down a rabbit hole to find the reference.

Wouldn’t surprise me if he AND Virginia were both on the list.

One of my favorite parts of the eras tour was how the lover era was represented. All the pink and purple clouds and fantasy elements reminded of a scene from the ispy books (remember those?)

I love the β€œsound” of Lover. All the synthy parts and the vocal harmonies give it an overall dreamy vibe that’s really cohesive. And the visuals she chose for the album art really match that too

It was a good, important change. We’ve evolved since the early 2000’s
