Exclusive: Trump plans to revoke legal status of Ukrainians who fled to US, sources say U.S. President Donald Trump's administration is planning to revoke temporary legal status for some 240,000 Ukrainians who fled the conflict with Russia, a senior Trump official and three sources familiar with the matter said, potentially putting them on a fast-track to deportation.

Revoking the legal status of Ukrainian refugees is morally bankrupt and sick. It totally tracks with their mafia-esque and kleptocratic tactics though. How pathetic so you have to be to target refugees?

I want to unequivocally condemn the disgraceful performance from Pres. Trump and VP JD Vance on Friday. They are trying to rewrite history and are aligning with an enemy of the US. Pres. Zelensky & the people of Ukraine deserved better than what they got and I stand with them. Slava Ukraini. 🇺🇦

Could not agree more. The Prez & VP are shameful, embarrassing Putin puppets & a disgrace to our country. 🤮

Trump Berates Zelensky at White House Meeting: Live Updates

Video is shocking treatment considering Ukraine lost so many people due to Russian invasion: "No president in memory has ever erupted at a visiting foreign leader in such a vituperous way on camera, not even enemies of the United States, much less a putative ally." www.nytimes.com/live/2025/02...

U.S. Park Service Strikes Transgender References From Stonewall Website (Gift Article) The “T” was removed in references to L.G.B.T.Q.+ on the official site for the Greenwich Village monument, which marks a milestone in the fight for gay rights. Later, the Q+ also disappeared.

This is utterly shameful and an attempt to erase the history of the LGBTQIA+ community. Our Trans family is as important as any other part of our community and I stand with them.

Opinion: Farewell to my American friends. It's over. Pete McMartin: Where there was once admiration, there is now a firm and angry resolve. Read more.

I think it's worth your time to read this opinion article from one of our neighbors to the North. The threat of tariffs, annexation, invasion, and other utter nonsense coming out of the Trump Administration is going to have real, lasting impacts to one of the most important relationships the US has.

The Young, Inexperienced Engineers Aiding Elon Musk’s Government Takeover Engineers between 19 and 24, most linked to Musk’s companies, are playing a key role as he seizes control of federal infrastructure.

This should concern all of us. Turning over the keys to the Treasury payment system and other systems is giving these people an immense amount of access to personal data on hundreds of millions of people.

This is what the government did with 120K+ Japanese Americans in 1942.

I know. I was there in those camps.

So Target is blaming their focus on Black, Hispanic, Women, LGBTQIA+ owned brands on their dip in sales huh, and media is just parroting their press release just like they did with the massive "shoplifting rings" ones, when it turned out the most theft was happening inside the house, or checkouts.

Outdoorsy Minnesotans: I winter camped and so can you. Probably. Two winter camping novices spend a night out with an Arctic explorer to learn how to stay warm – and even enjoy – camping in freezing weather.

Yes ... the idea of winter camping is actually exciting for me. Do I actually know anyone that would want to join me in my "madness?"

Did He Actually Do That? Elon Musk either had a slipped-mask moment or is supremely awkward.

Regardless of how the writer tries to give Elon the space to backtrack what he did the fact is he used a Nazi salute. Twice. Those actions have given people on the far right the signal that it's ok to keep coming out of the woodwork. None of that's ok.

Four-panel meme. The top left panel features a cartoon representation of Bill Gates with a speech bubble that says, "Lets make more vaccines." Opposite to this, in the top right panel, is a drawing of a distressed character with a tearful expression, shouting, "nooooo you will put microchips in our bodies and track us." The bottom left panel shows a cartoon of Elon Musk with a contemplative expression and a speech bubble stating, "I will literally put a microchip in your brain." The bottom right panel displays a character with a beard, looking amused, and saying, "Lmao nice" in response to Musk's statement

Data breach affects applicants, students and employees at University of Minnesota between 1989 and 2... The data obtained included dates of birth, Social Security numbers and passport information, according to a news release from the U.

This is a really gross data breach. Apply to, attend, or work at the University of Minnesota from 1989-2021? Better pay attention.

OPINION EXCHANGE | Great Northern Greenway: The other pedestrian/bicycle river crossing worth havi... A recent editorial rightly promoted a Midtown Greenway connection to St. Paul. One connecting the North Side of Minneapolis to Northeast is worthy, too.

Our entire bike trail system is better if we provide equal access to all. I'm glad to see this conversation happening.

Nothing like starting the day and finding your ISP can't manage get Internets working after a scheduled outage. But ... you know ... Xfinity/Comcast. 🙄

There are no lesbian bars in Minnesota. Here's why it matters. There are only 29 lesbian bars nationally. The closest one to Minneapolis is in Chicago.

This feels so wrong. Lesbian bars are as important as gay bars. Everyone should have community.
