Spoonbridge and Cherry isn’t just a quirky photo op. It’s ordinary things made through patience, balance, and a steady hand. That’s MN right now stacking the labor of solidarity until it becomes something the whole world can see.
Today is Mar 12, 2026. Here is what happened yesterday in Minnesota:
On March 10th, Pete Hegseth invoked Psalm 144, quoting "Blessed be the Lord, my rock, who trains my hands for war and my fingers for battle," as a way of framing the war in Iran. This is not only a clear violation of the separation of church and state, it is using the Bible to divinely sanction the violence of the state. The history of political rules using scripture this way is long and bloody. Everyone should oppose this. Especially in light of all those school children that were killed. Woe to those who take the name of God upon their lips while their bombs fall on children.
As a point of comparison, the US spent $21 billion in FY 2022 to feed billions of breakfasts and lunches to kids in schools across our whole country for an entire year under the universal school meals program that was later discontinued.
So proud to be a part of this project, and to have worked with so many excellent writers. I hope you love it. Thanks, @sandyernestallen.bsky.social for having me.
His appointments were BRILLIANT---the best of the best, quite literally---and also LOOKED LIKE AMERICA.
Gods. We were so close to fixing EVERYTHING but too many people liked racism MORE.

I look at this often just to remember that Biden selected a highly competent cabinet. Also, b/c it represents the America I thought we lived in.
I will never understand the pod bros, Colbert and Clooney, who got rid of Joe with a fantastic VP right there. Oh wait -I do. And I’ll never forgive them for trump.
This doesn’t happen with a competent government.
1 of the things that pissed me off about Biden bashing…nobody ever talked about how he had some of the most capable cabinets & staffers ever.
Even if he got sick we were still going to be in good hands & that matters more than people realized.
That's about half of what it cost for USAID for a whole year www.nytimes.com/live/2026/03...
Trump says the decision to bomb Iran came after advice from Jared Kushner, Steve Witkoff and Pete Hegseth.
Who takes advice about starting a war from 2 real estate developers and a drunk former TV co-host?

In South Burlington, Vermont, protesters are being tear-gassed by ICE and local police as they attempt to prevent a kidnapping.
Iran is likely thinking that they not only want to survive—which is practically a win for a relatively weaker power attacked by a stronger one—but also that they want to impose enough costs on enough parties that the US assault becomes a cautionary tale.
Trump started something he can’t control.
BREAKING: The usually snarky White House account has not responded to Iran’s attacks on social media! Thank you for your attention to this matter!
An idea I can’t shake is that all throughout the Bible the people of God continuously failed to represent God well. Then Christians came along and decided we were the new people of God… and we continuously fail to represent God well.
They have the article with a paywall. But I clicked on the link that said "the leaders" and it went to an older article about the boycott and it was about a church that was saying to boycott Target because of them stopping their DEI policies.

A lot of times when I design new products. I wanna advertise all the features, especially those beneficial to disabled people. But that seems to scare away able bodied people from buying it. Even though it's a product for everyone.
Documents reveal a web of financial ties between Trump officials and the industries they help regulate:
ProPublica is releasing a trove of disclosure records that detail the finances of more than 1,500 Trump appointees who declined to identify former clients.
I love that it's 2026 and I'm doing the same stuff I did in 1999. Playing Pokemon, fangirling, reading books. Becoming disabled in my 30s has allowed me to rediscover the whimsy and for that I'm grateful. The symptoms can suck it though
Tweet from some uncanny valley af looking girl: "Hello world! I’m Anna Indiana and I’m an AI singer-songwriter. Here’s my first song, Betrayed by this Town. Everything from the key, tempo, chord progression, melody notes, rhythm, lyrics, and my image and singing, is auto-generated using AI. I hope you like it "
This awakens some primal instincts of revulsion in my brainstem.
See, this is why Black folks can't trust you.
I'm not going there either!! Who are these "boycott leaders"?

To counter a regime that has NO nuclear weapons or intercontinental ballistic missiles...
...We're moving air defense systems from a mission countering a regime which has LOTS of nuclear weapons and intercontinental ballistic missiles.
