ICE has spent the past two months racially profiling Minnesotans. During my oversight visit to Whipple yesterday, I demanded they make a change and get their untrained agents off our streets. Kristi Noem’s DHS has inflicted lasting trauma on our community. I won’t stop pushing for accountability.

DoJ cases against protesters keep collapsing as officers’ lies are exposed in court String of embarrassing defeats for prosecutors as experts condemn DoJ effort to cast people as β€˜violent perpetrators’

"In Chicago, of 92 people arrested for assaulting or impeding officers last fall, 74 cases have resulted in no charges; in 13 cases, charges were filed and dismissed; and five charged cases were still pending *** As of the end of January, there have been no convictions."

I’m working on my first novel and have already had this sort of thing happen. Fiction is so trippy. Like this crucial think happens that defines so much but then it doesn’t work in the end and has to be cut. Newspaper writing kills darlings left and right but still hits different. Idk why.

A Pastor Defends No-Fault Divorce Why I went from having contempt for this legal process to believing it is a lifesaver.

No-fault divorce is a public good and is abuse prevention. It is linked to declines in domestic violence (against and by both genders), female suicide (around 20%), and women murdered by intimate partners.

Defend it shamelessly.

The federal presence in Minnesota has been especially tough on our local businesses.

Choosing to shop local, grab takeout, or visit a neighborhood store is one way we can stand with our neighbors and continue to show the nation what it means to respond with care and decency.

IDK but the more labeling (on food) the better. I figured it was kinda like COOL. Maybe Dakota Rural Action will know.

They pissed off White Jesus a 100's poem from my indigenous online writing circle

What's been happening in Minnesota and Eastern South Dakota got me writing about White Jesus, Thor, and Vikings-turned-farmers who unassumingly become our allies and kin. About time.

Exclusive: Hegseth boosts Minneapolis immigration siege, approving use of military base In an email obtained by the Chronicle, U.S. Customs and Border Protection asked for use of Fort Snelling to house federal immigration agents, weapons, vehicles and aircraft.

As an FFA kid myself, the substitute ag classes make sense to me, honestly, depending on what type of secondary education if any someone wants to do. But not sports ffs. Unless they’re getting sports medicine primers while on the bus or something to and from games.
