Too much

ALSO, today’s 1,200 word front page story by the Strib’s retail reporter (the Strib doesn’t have a labor reporter) devotes exactly one sentence to Target’s blunders, implying that the boycott was brief.

I wonder whether the retail reporter ever reads the letters to the editor; this one ran on Sat.

Strib: look at those unruly protestors
MPR: one of the cops shot us

the funny thing is, all of our allegedly Strong Mayors are actually Weak Mayors when it comes to controlling their cops

Screenshot, reading: JUST A REMINDER: THE USE OF TEAR GAS AND ALL OTHER ASPHYXIATING, POISONOUS GASES, AND ALL BACTERIOLOGICAL METHODS OF WARFAR' WAS BANNED BY THE GENEVA PROTOCOLS IN 1925, AND REUPPED IN 1997. THE US DID NOT SIGN THAT AGREEMENT UNTIL 1975, AND ONLY AFTER PRESIDENT GERAL FORD CARVED OUT SPECIAL EXCPETIONS THAT ALLOW SUCH GASES TO BE USED ON AMERICAN CITIZENS. THE U.S. GOV. UNDERSTANDS THESE GASES ARE TOO DANGEROUS FOR WAR. BUT NOT FOR US.

Apropos of nothing in particular, from Saint Paul

You know who’s Very Strong and ultimately in charge of communication in City Hall?

Know whose staff is going to be reading our responses?

The most unqualified administration in US history has uncovered a problem: too many qualified people? #raygun #Nurses #teachers www.raygunsite.com

It's certainly worth finding out why SPPD worked with ICE today compared to just the most recent example, but regardless of explanation the toothpaste is out & I think the average Saint Paul opinion is gonna shift fast.

Whatever one thought of it in the moment it's clear that a wide swath of Saint Paul residents have given SPPD a lot of good faith assumptions during an era when policing is under greater scrutiny. And I think today is gonna mark a major shift in that sentiment for a significant chunk of citizens.

BREAKING: The Trump EPA is abandoning a rule that would strengthen limits on air pollution.

The EPA will no longer defend Biden-era limits on fine-particle pollution, which causes heart and lung disease.

Scientists say this move could lead to dirtier air and more deaths.

Impeach, convict, remove.

And if our current leaders won’t do it, they need to step aside for people who will.

Sweetest boy Louie flops down for belly rubs at the slightest touch!

why are people taking messages that are sent only to people who have gone through training by monarca on how to be a legal observer and blasting them on social media to be found by people who ARE NOT TRAINED IN HOW TO SHOW UP?

this is so fucking dangerous

Roads are going to get snowy and slippery fast from 7-10pm in the Twin Cities.

If you’re driving during that time, expect it to take about twice as long to get places.

Two is the right number but when you have one and are offered two, you take them both.

Positive Covid-19 result for a patient this morning - reasons abound to mask in health care

Patient came in with sore throat. While waiting for rapid Strep test result we glanced back at the Covid-19 RAT result: positive. Reminder that masking in health care makes sense, if you don’t want everyone in your waiting room to go home sick, your staff to get sick, and physicians to get sick.

So women are hormonal and that is why men must treat us as subhuman.

Also, men are hormonal and that is why they must treat us as subhuman.

Who will they blame for rising prices, housing shortages, lack of decent paying jobs, poor access to healthcare, and their overall shitty lives once they kick out all the immigrants ?
