Bloomington police announce arrests in sex trafficking bust: "Rashad Johnson out of Maple Grove. This is the most disturbing arrest that we've had here. He is a backgrounder for ICE, Homeland Security, and federal agencies."

Pretty sure that was supposed to represent Bad Bunny going back to give his Grammy to his childhood self.

Puerto Rico won the Super Bowl. Congrats PR!

#Badbunny ! ! ! ! ! !

The boy from the halftime show on the left. Liam on the right. He's not Liam. He's a stand-in for all the Liams & all the young Latina girls dreaming about their futures right now even in this authoritarian Trump-Vance era. Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

making super bowl viewers think liam ramos was at the halftime show at the same time the government is making an expedited push to deport him is maybe not ideal

My basic Bad Bunny take is that Puerto Rico should have meaningful congressional representation and the right to vote for the US President 🐰

From Bad Bunny's #SuperBowl halftime performance.

It's obvious whatever snow we get won't melt for many days. Can our local gov'ts think ahead and prepare? Our "It'll melt within a few days" policy won't work this time, like last January. Please reduce the misery.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.

The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.

People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.

And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

Didn't Tuesday's election results show that it actually WAS working???

Mamdani:
“We won because we insisted that no longer would politics be something that is done to us.

Now, it is something that we do.”

Spanberger v. Earle-Sears exit poll Men 18-29: Spanberger 56%; Earle-Sears 42%

A moment of silence, please, for the "young men are all MAGA now" narrative.

White woman wearing a red shirt w red rimed glasses proudly holding an orange pie pumpkin she grew on a vertical wall. Her hair is messy but her smile is big.

A large bowl holding a variety of tomatoes, large and small, red and green, on top of a red table.

A flower bouquet of white mums, red celosia on a counter with wood cabinets and floor.

My garden is still giving!

Doing a harvest before cooler temps hit tonight. I don't think we will see a frost, I needed to start reaping my bounty!

The white mums and eucalyptus are @urbanbuds.bsky.social , the big rain celosia is mine 😍

Perhaps the most ominous satellite presentation we've seen. Cat 5 Melissa within 2 hours of landfall in Jamaica. Winds at 185 mph (tied for 2nd highest on record). Pressure at 892 mb (tied for 3rd lowest). Will be one of strongest Atlantic storms to make landfall ever recorded.

A small okra plant with 4 tiny okra pods growing.

A small green pumpkin growing in a vine on a concrete parking pad. The pumpkin has been eaten by something and a patch of its insides can be seen contrasting its green exterior.

Late planting of okra is starting to pay off! Will I get to harvest any to eat before frost comes?

This season I have successfully grown pie pumpkins! I at least 8 still growing including 2 that have become snacking stations for critters.

On #IndigenousPeoplesDay, we recognize that St. Louis sits on the ancestral lands of the Chickasaw Nation, Illini Tribe, Ioway Tribe, Kickapoo Tribe, Osage Nation, Otoe-Missouria Tribe, & Quapaw Nation.

The US must reckon with its colonial past & honor Indigenous leaders shaping a more just future.

Democrats are in DC working to lower costs, cancel the cuts, and save health care.

Where are congressional Republicans?

It’s the day before a government shutdown... and they’re on vacation.

The government is officially shut down. Make no mistake: Republicans control the House, the Senate, and the White House. This is THEIR shutdown. They had every tool to govern and chose chaos instead. The American people are the ones paying the price.

Stop the scapegoating and start dealing with America’s real gun crisis.

HOMEGROWN‼️

Trump just ordered the military into Portland, and he’s giving them the green light to use lethal force on American citizens.

Authoritarianism is an abstract concept but Trump is making its impacts real and tangible. Let’s be real about it: This is the beginning of dictatorship in America.

Human rights defender Greta Thunberg: "I am not scared of Israel, I am scared of a world that has seemingly lost all sense of humanity. What we are doing here is trying to show there is some humanity left. That there are still people willing to step up when all other means fail." #3E
