It’s amazing what happens when the rest of the world doesn’t share intelligence with the U.S.

If you serve on a council or commission and you abstain from voting on an issue, you should be required to explain your abstention on the record.

Urban scene with traffic control lights, railroad crossing infrastructure and a metal picket fence in the foreground. In the background is a Holiday station sign listing gas for sale at 3.25 and 9/10. Behind the gas station is an apartment complex about 6 stories tall.

In the time it has taken me to imbibe exactly one adult beverage on this patio the price of gas across the street has gone up 6 cents.

As one who literally made their name studying research integrity that one is particularly galling to me. And Francesca.

Right shoulder of a man wearing the iconic Saint Paul Jacket aka The Jacket on a Sunny patio in front of a well known Minneapolis brewery. There is a Minnesota flag pin in the jacket and a Venn Brewing sign in the background.

For the Tillis set, it is the cut in research dollars and at the universities and healthcare that’s hurt. N.C. is a biotech and medicine hub, and all the big GOP money is tied up in those industries.

Nonprofit “affordable housing” providers showing up to testify against Pause Eviction Saves Lives is just further highlighting the way in which nonprofits & foundations have completely failed to meet this moment. This is why we need actual social safety nets, not the Nonprofit Industrial Complex.

An woman wearing sunglasses and a Minnesota Aurora FC shirt holds a teal scarf above her head that reads “WE ARE AURORA” while cheering in the stands. Other fans stand behind her. A dark teal text overlay reads: “Dear Aurora Community,

As we start the celebration of Women’s History month, we want to take a moment to reflect on our own young history and the legacy that we are all building together.

When our group of 9 founders came together in 2020 with a shared vision of creating a women’s soccer team ‘For Community * By Community’, we had no idea we were creating something as rare and beautiful as the Aurora Borealis. As we head into our 5th season, it is still incredibly fitting that Minnesota Women’s Soccer became Minnesota Aurora FC.”

Minnesota Aurora FC players stand in a tight huddle on the field wearing teal jerseys. A dark teal text overlay reads:

“The name Aurora, a name that has become synonymous with winning, but also with grassroots soccer, was chosen by our original group of Community Owners and we could not have picked a better name. The name was turned into the best brand in sports by our amazing designers - Nicole Meyer, Carla Zetina, and Allie Schmidt - the first of many steps fulfilling our mission of creating opportunities for women on and off the field.

Every day of the past five years has been a struggle as we build out a community-owned women’s soccer organization that has no peer in the United States with no deep pockets. But that struggle has been immensely gratifying as we continue with the longest unbeaten league record in American men’s and women’s soccer history. We continue to draw crowds, TV viewers, sponsors and sell merchandise that has never been seen before at our level of soccer.

We also continue our methodical pursuit of becoming a professional team. We are constantly working toward that end, networking and meeting with potential investors to find like-minded people who share our vision for a different kind of professional women’s team.”

Minnesota Aurora FC players remain in a team huddle on the field. A dark teal text overlay reads:

“Most of the founders have been able to step back and support the team as fans. Some of us remain on the board and are joined now by incredible leaders who believe in Aurora, helping build out the organization and supporting an amazing staff that is taking the club to new heights.

Through all of it, though, we remain so proud. Proud to support our amazing players, proud to cheer with you in the stands and proud that our community doesn’t just want to be fans, they want to build something better and bigger than just a soccer team.

We hear so often from so many of you of what this team means to you and your families and we’re immensely grateful. This is our year, our 5th anniversary, and we can’t wait to celebrate it all with you and thank you for being with us every step of the way.

✦ The Minnesota Aurora Founders

I gotta hand it to Altman here, deciding to sign up to be the new face of the regime’s AI efforts right as they start an unpopular and out of control war with Iran was a real masterstroke in PR

I would invent penicillin. Not because I’m particularly smart, but because I love oranges, yet I’m very talented at leaving them too long in the fridge.
