BREAKING: ICE agents in Minneapolis violently detained and arrested a U.S. citizen for one reason only: he refused to prove his citizenship.

No crime. No warrant. No probable cause.

Donald Trump is doing such a great job as “Acting President of Venezuela” that the U.S. embassy is warning Americans to evacuate immediately.

Trump sucks at running Venezuela and he sucks at running the United States.

Walz: "It's very clear that the entire federal government is weaponized against Minnesota. They're threatening us. And this is what happens when you have a floundering presidency and it's about those ballrooms. Now we're back on transgender folks."

I've uploaded a short clip of last week’s aurora to YouTube. My first outing with a Sony a7S ii. Never used a Sony before and my settings were all to cock so amazed/pleased I got something ! There's a Geminid meteor at around 00:40ish too.

Maria Shriver, niece of JFK:

He was a man interested in the arts, culture, education, language, history... It is beyond comprehension that the president has sought to rename this great memorial.

C’mon my fellow Americans! Wake up! This is not dignified. This is not funny... It’s downright weird.

Sunset over a long pier stretching across the horizon, with warm light reflecting in wet sand in the foreground. Small figures stand near the shoreline as waves roll in under a clear sky that shifts from gold near the horizon to blue above.

Neptune, the mysterious, which I planted last year after seeing it in a Bluesky post. I couldn’t find the right spot in the garden for ages and it sat in a pot neglected but once the clematis flowered it was obvious where it needed to be.

I woke up with ten pounds of mashed potatoes in my fridge because today is Lefse Day, a yearly labor of love, rolling out potato dough paper thin and cooking on a jumbo round electric grill for my Norwegian-leaning wife. Let the flour storm begin!

Massie: Previous presidents told us to go to war over WMDs that did not exist. Now it's the same playbook. Except we're told that drugs are the WMDs. If it were about drugs, we'd bomb Mexico or China or Colombia. This is about oil and regime change.
