It is actually possible to regulate gambling advertising, and while designing such a regulatory regime could be complicated, it can also be very simple, such as "there shall be no gambling advertising".

I'd like to read about whether recent high profile MN legislation had the impact that was intended.

Specifically:

- Has the 2015 buffer law improved water quality?
- Has the 2023 READ Act been successfully implemented in classrooms?
- What has been the effect of the child tax credit so far?

Looks like just a "driver" for testing. I was hoping to see how it handles Summit Avenue's potholes but it turned North at Snelling.

the seemingly inexorable march of antisemitism into the very heart of US politics from both the left and right is pretty depressing

Ramstad: Readers wonder why growth is good, and whether AI is the new threat Without growth, zero-sum thinking takes over, and it is the poor who are hurt the most.

I appreciate Evan Ramstad continuing to press the issue of population and economic growth for Minnesota despite the letters readers who are besotted with degrowth.

Growth can be challenging. Stagnation or decline is infinitely worse. www.startribune.com/ramstad-read...

every single psycho thing Donald Trump does he does only because almost every single federally elected Republican has chosen unilaterally, independently, and with complete freedom to go along with it unconditionally

Also Norway is able to do it on easy mode because they are a petrostate with fewer people than Minnesota.

Every time I see a post about the socialist eco-futurist paradise of Norway I wish people would realize that it is only possible because they are a petrostate. They are the 7th largest exporter of oil, which acounts for 30% of state revenue and they have a lower population than Minnesota.

Dinner at Habanero. Dessert at La Michoacana Monarca. Always a good combo

Two Saint Paul businesses that had to close for a few weeks due to continued fed harassment and targeting.

Great to see them open again.

Fuck ICE.

I may never reconcile my thoughts of "Wow, caucuses are the ultimate democratic process" (complimentary), "Wow, caucuses are the ultimate democratic process" (derogatory), and "Caucuses are also incredibly exclusionary by their very nature of requiring presence at a fixed time/place."

I'd definitely watch that show, but she can lecture me all she wants as long as she keeps that seat blue.

You don't want all of them to be organizers but during a community crisis it is an especially valuable skill.

The video is chilling, but also inspiring. This hero, while guns are pointed at her, stands up for her constitutional rights, which exposes these "agents of the state" to really be masked thugs.

The reason deportations are included is because ICE has already deported citizens. The headline is not a fair characterization of his statement. He calls for a ban on deportations and detentions. He also wants to allow local law enforcement to investigate and prosecute ICE.

Please read the article. He is calling for a prohibition on deportation AND detention. He also wants to allow local law enforcement to investigate and charge ICE.

I certainly would not have been able to write my story about all the bravery I witnessed in Minneapolis without the access I was given! bsky.app/profile/whst...
