Support outlets that invest in their staff!

It’s that simple. @jeffrueter.bsky.social and @anabnos.com and the whole team there need us to give the Guardian the confirmation that more rad journalists is a good thing!

Feels like an OK time to mention that the Guardian does not take ad money from sports betting companies and we just hired three of the best U.S. soccer journalists around.

We have come together & collectively raised $34,634 to support Minnesotans who can’t keep up with utility bills. That's enough to support ~68 households.

Please know: the need is great. The funds that have been raised are nearly all committed now, and CUB's phone line rings all day, every day.

Close to 650 federal agents remain in Minnesota weeks after border czar announced end of operation There are still more than quadruple the 150 agents Tom Homan said there would be in the state by the end of last week.

They’re still lying to us.

Soldier from Minnesota killed in Kuwait Sgt. First Class Nicole M. Amor, 39, of White Bear Lake, was killed during a drone strike in Port Shuabia, Kuwait on Sunday.

Completely unauthorized wars have consequences. This person should not have lost their life. I cannot believe this is the time we’re living in.

MRFF President and Founder Mikey Weinstein, a veteran of the Air Force and the Reagan White House, told me that since the U.S. and Israel attacked Iran early Saturday morning, the MRFF has been β€œinundated” with similar complaints:

These calls have one damn thing in freaking common; our MRFF clients [service members who seek MRFF aid] report the unrestricted euphoria of their commanders and command chains as to how this new β€œbiblically-sanctioned” war is clearly the undeniable sign of the expeditious approach of the fundamentalist Christian β€œEnd Times" as vividly described in the New Testament Book of Revelation.

Many of their commanders are especially delighted with how graphic this battle will be zeroing in on how bloody all of this must become in order to fulfill and be in 100% accordance with fundamentalist Christian end of the world eschatology.
