Our friend the Apennine Yellow-bellied Toad lives in southern Italy! They only lay a few eggs at a time but are believed to breed several times a year! They also have heart-shaped pupils! A great toad for Valentine's Day! (photo by Giacomo Gola)

1) This is all just so [bleep]ing stupid. I'm a poll worker. NO ONE can vote if they're not in the poll book. You can't get in the poll book without registering, and you can't register if you're not a citizen.

People talking about terrible teachers and gender bias in STEM fields & I can remember when the anatomy teacher tried to keep a girl from going on a field trip to Chico State to view a cadaver. Her mom raised absolute hell & now that girl has a Ph.d in molecular biology and leads R&D.

you can just not fund this shit under any circumstances

you donโ€™t have to pretend they need better training, or are doing an important job incorrectly

theyโ€™re just racist thugs doing ethnic cleansing and the whole gang should be in jail

Democrats need to take the worst Epstein emails and turn them into full-size ads. Giant screenshots of these emails with a QR code that links to a website. Put them in subways and buses and on billboards. A 30 sec. commercial that has just the email on screen and the QR code and nothing else.

NYT push alert: "A person was shot dead today during a struggle with federal agents in Minneapolis, according to officials."

By who? Who shot the person dead? You saw the video. We all know a federal agent shot a man dead who was prone on the ground. Also, it's not "according to officials." It's according to verified video seen with your eyes. Not saying what anyone can obviously see with their eyes is a form of lying.

If my followers have been inspired by the fierce resistance the Twin Cities has put up to ICE, you should make it a point to take a trip here (April through October ๐Ÿ˜ฌ), enjoy the wonderful things MN has to offer and support our small businesses. It continues to be a really tough time for them.

Good Morning! On this day, (Wed) Feb. 11 in 1813, We celebrate the birth of Harriet Jacobs. She was a black writer, whose autobiography, Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl, published in 1861 under the pseudonym Linda Brent, is now considered an American classic. #Herstory

Talked to an immigrant recently and he told me that in some communities people have been abandoning blue states to, in essence, hide out in red states until the Orangutan in Chief's revenge against blue states ends.

We both agreed that red state people will really love that.

The U.S. Senator from Oklahoma doesn't know what he's talking about. I ride Amtrak all the time and have never -- never -- had to show my papers to board a train or buy a ticket. I ride the NYC subway several times per day. Same.

Sometimes very hard not to feel like the rest of the country has abandoned Minnesota. We STILL have ICE everywhere. Our schools, businesses, and economy are in profound crisis. But without Bovino here throwing tear gas, much of the country seems to not care at all whatโ€™s being done to us.

Since I have a lot of new followers, I will re-up this. Some folks just wanted to buy a couple whistles from us instead of getting 100-1000 FOR FREE (which you can do at the linktree in my bio!!!!!)
