Husband, father, progressive Minnesotan with his head in the clouds, trying to build a museum to reach the sky. I like dogs. I like travel.

It’s not just that the Administration isn’t answering questions about Iran.

They’re lying.

Reminder that the FBI is still refusing to let local law enforcement in on the investigation into Renee Good and Alex Pretti’s deaths.

This is a cover up in plain sight.

Choice Cuts for 3/3, Part 2: Don't take my taxpayer dollars and then use them to promote Republicans, the same people who declared war on OUR state!

This is 100% the direction Target should be going. The new CEO also should do this: any Vice President, Senior Vice President, or Executive Vice President who had any part of the prior decisions that led to this current mess and has still managed to keep their job, should be fired immediately.

If anyone is friends with any Georgian air traffic controllers, buy them a nice bottle of wine. As guardians of pretty much the only narrow gap still available between Europe and Asia that avoids both Iran, the Gulf, Ukraine and Russia, they are under some substantial pressure.

Wasn't there a whole blowup a year ago about Modi sending assassins into Canada to kill political / ethnic opponents?

I appreciate how Sean Ferrick notes our situation each week on his episode recaps on YouTube. The Europeans seem to be getting more info about MN than Americans...

Got to watch her work at the State Fair a few years ago. Super sharp, multi-tasker, still able to focus on the person in front of her whether a kid or a senior while her phone was going off. Fully confident she'll do right by us!

Oh heck, Reagan’s recession + interest rate nightmare; gas lines and stagflation in the 70s, mass layoffs as factories abandoned the Rust Belt & the big farm bankruptcy crisis.

Lived near there in the early 80s back when Amtrak still had a run out to Dubuque, the station was dingy & the speed / timing made no sense. Hoping for better results now!

There is no amount of money in the world that would lead me to fight a Vietnamese refugee that grew up in Louisiana

The Feds poking their fingers into Minnesotans' banking records won't help, either, & increases risk for everyone in real estate & property development; moving money to buy a home, etc.

Minnesota right now is both incredibly strong at the neighborhood and community level and absolutely beat to all hell. And kind of broke. People are close to eviction and other people are digging deep to help them.
Cutting off Medicaid to this deeply hurting population is so cruel and vengeful.

I live in Minnesota and I want the federal government to stop trying to kill us. And hurt us. I want them to stop attacking us.

It sucks.

We’re just trying to live our lives and take care of each other and we don’t deserve all this.

I kid around sometimes here but I’m not kidding now.

Minnesota paid leave program's rollout was $70 million under budget, director says Minnesota is in its second full month of a sweeping new paid leave policy that impacts almost all residents.

It's amazing how effectively a state program designed to help the needy can work when you put basic safeguards in place to make sure it doesn't get abused! www.cbsnews.com/minnesota/ne...

ICE took their papersβ€”and won’t give them back Immigrants are being released from detention without documents proving their status.

β€œAs far as I can tell, it’s the practice of ICE to throw everybody’s documents into a black box and then lose it.”

Immigrants in Minnesota have been released from detention centers without work permits, Social Security cards, licenses, and other documents that prove their status.

"If you don't count two-thirds of the state's population in the cities, we're actually the majority." What a whiny baby.

Local View: Stauber's bill bad for BWCAW, all public lands From the column: "It's healthy to argue over what to do with public lands. ... The BWCAW is our nation’s most popular wilderness area. It’s a unique landscape. There is no backup."

If Stauber sells out MN for a massive international mining conglomerate, he might get:

8 figure lobbying gig
His kid a job as a senior mining executive.
His wife a board position which pays 7 figures
A one-way ticket out of MN for when his lies get exposed. www.duluthnewstribune.com/opinion/colu...

Minnesota school districts say federal agents still causing daily disruptions School leaders say that ICE activity is continuing to interrupt daily life for students, staff and families despite the announced end of the two-month surge of federal immigration agents.

β€œOn Feb. 4 β€” the day border czar Tom Homan announced a β€˜drawdown’ of 700 agents β€” Lewis said ICE agents posed as journalists outside a Fridley school wearing bright orange bands on their arms reading β€˜press.’”

β€œβ€˜They were yelling and screaming at our staff, yelling and screaming at parents’”

Amid Trump crackdown on Chinese students, one US university appears to block them altogether Purdue says no ban on Chinese students exists, but reportedly rescinded dozens of offers after warnings from legislators

I want us to understand this in the context of these same people killed affirmative action using Chinese-American plaintiffs because they said helping Black people was discriminatory against Asian Americans and anti-merit. Once again: it was never about that. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

This is such a blatant attempt at blackmail given that it takes less effort and fewer staff to run a security line where a bunch of travelers can leave their laptops in the bag and walk through a metal detector instead of a nakeycam.
