“Diana’s birthday is in #February & mine is in March. Don’t you think that is a very strange coincidence? Diana is going to lend me a book to read. She says it’s perfectly splendid & exciting. She’s going to show me a place back in the woods where rice lilies grow.”

It was a diamond winter day in #February - clear, cold, hard, brilliant...the white fields and hills glittered, the fringe of icicles around the eaves sparkled. Keen was the frost and crisp the snow over our world; and we young fry were all agog to enjoy life.

'Standing up to oppression': Why one local veteran chose to protest A day after the shooting of Alex Pretti, protestors gathered in Duluth, calling for an end of ICE operations in the state.

What ICE is doing in Minnesota is unconscionable. No ICE agent, CBP thug, or person who supports what they are doing should ever be forgiven.

I feel lame sharing this and I know I'm shouting into the void. Oh well.

Proud of my husband for speaking clearly and standing up.

This article is beautiful and I'm so incredibly thankful it was written.

Slowly the splendour died, giving place to the mystic beauty of a winter twilight when the moon is rising. The hollow sky was a cup of blue. The stars came out over the white glens & the earth was covered with a kingly carpet for the feet of the young year to press.

THE GOLDEN ROAD
By #LMMontgomery

Every social theory undergirding Trumpism has been broken on the steel of Minnesotan resolve. The multiracial community in Minneapolis was supposed to shatter. It did not. It held until Bovino was forced out of the Twin Cities with his long coat between his legs. The secret fear of the morally depraved is that virtue is actually common, and that they’re the ones who are alone. In Minnesota, all of the ideological cornerstones of MAGA have been proved false at once. Minnesotans, not the armed thugs of ICE and the Border Patrol, are brave. Minnesotans have shown that their community is socially cohesive—because of its diversity and not in spite of it. Minnesotans have found and loved one another in a world atomized by social media, where empty men have tried to fill their lonely soul with lies about their own inherent superiority. Minnesotans have preserved everything worthwhile about “Western civilization,” while armed brutes try to tear it down by force.

Last week in Minnesota, I watched ordinary people risk their lives to protect their neighbors. In the process, they not only won a significant—though not final—victory against authoritarianism, they proved virtually every MAGA social theory wrong. (gift link) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

@angeladavismpr.bsky.social @CatRichert Your program on neighbors helping neighbors is so inspiring, I do hope the bad actors patrolling the Metro are not able to identify your call-in voices! Maybe don’t use names and locations. @MPR

I've never understood why Democrats haven't been saying this every day, but better late than never. He's violated his oath of office, he's committed the exact high crimes and misdemeanors mentioned in the constitution, he's instructed his subordinates to violate civil and human rights. He must go.

Good! We're at the "evil counsellors" stage. What happens next, according to the playbook of European history that the authors of the constitution sort of knew, is that either the leader lets the top advisor take the blame, or he supports his minion and reveals that actually it's all his own fault.

There are over 10,000 lakes, so . . .

In the words of @johnsthebest.bsky.social "I'll never been an American again, but I'll be a Minnesotan until I die."

There is a picket line the entire length of the departures terminal.

The whole reason this story is widely known is that the horrified and distraught leadership of the child's school publicized it.
