St. Paul Public Schools parents group needs about $63k more to keep 174 families housed. March is soon, rent will be due. Can you chip in? Can you share?
Pour one out for every professional political pundit, writer, consultant whatever that has spent the last decade trying to pretend that the Trump phenomenon was about trade or opiates and not a big chunk of white america losing its mind over having a black president bsky.app/profile/kyle...
Predicting that this week weβll hear more conciliatory words from the Administration regarding Minnesota (since theyβre starting to realize that ICE has become politically toxic) but everyone outside of Minnesota needs to know that nothing on the ground has changed.
Liam is home now and we are grateful to @joaquincastrotx.bsky.social for traveling to Minneapolis with him and his dad.
Welcome home Liam β€οΈβ€οΈ
Judge Biery signed the order with a photo of Liam and two bible verses: The first is "But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven." The second is simply "Jesus wept."
Astonishing thing for a judge to do.
It has come to this.
(Also, like countless other journalists in MSP, the @startribune.com has been doing exceptional work under extraordinary circumstances.)

Thank you senator.
I was desperate for some organization, so I put together a list of places you can donate or buy things for to support folks in Minnesota.
If you have places for me to add, please DM me.
In Hillbilly Elegy, Vance lectured Appalachians for being lazy bums. He lectured "childless cat ladies" he claimed were unhappy. Now he's lecturing every woman with a white collar job for living a meaningless life.
Such a smug, condescending jackass. No wonder everyone hates him.
Stop using ring cameras! Ffs.

A reminder as Congress finalizes NIH appropriations: the bill must limit multiyear funding (MYF), Vought's way of cutting the NIH budget without cutting the budget. MYF will devastate the research workforce.

"His wife, Destiny Jackson, told FOX 9 their 6-month-old infant stopped breathing and lost consciousness. She then performed CPR on her baby."

Best TikTok thing going is the two dudes trying food from every country without leaving NYC. If you havenβt seen them yet, itβs incredible. My favorite so far is last weekβs. Legit got me emotional.
Wait wait wait, while Americans have to pay hundreds of billions of dollars in new tariffs, Trump is going send over $10,000 to each person in *Greenland*?????????
This is a joke right ?

β.. In the last four months alone, immigration officers have fired on at least nine people in five states and Washington, D.C. All of the individuals targeted in those shootings were, like the woman killed on Wednesday, fired on while in their vehicles.β

I just read all 90 pages of the 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines, and I will apologize for the length and wonkiness of my take on it.
This is pretty detailed, and you may not have the stomach or patience for it, but here goes.

This is how far from where George Floyd was murdered by police to where Renee Good was murdered by ICE -- two-thirds of a mile

Bravest motherfuckers you've ever seen. They just saw a neighbor get murdered and still out there. Maybe let's see some local officials with the power to arrest show as much backbone as these voters PAYING YOUR FUCKING SALARY
I mean yeah itβs an authoritarian takeover but can we take some comfort in the fact that the people doing it are INSANELY stupid?
Hereβs the full 60 Minutes CECOT story.
Wow. Last used ~1934, inherent contempt would in effect bring Bondi to trial in the House & by majority vote empower the House to put her in jail. Far more effective than other options (criminal referral to her own DOJ or endless civil litigation), it'd be a huge bipartsan stand against the Admin.
The Epstein Files, everybody!
Rep. Joyce Beatty @RepBeatty Β· 6m For the record. This was not unanimous. I was muted on the call and not allowed to speak or voice my opposition to this move. Also for the record, this was not on the agenda.
It gets even more patheticβ

People experiencing miscarriages in states with abortion bans told us they wished they had known what to expect and how to advocate for themselves.
We created this guide for anyone who finds themselves in the same position.

π§΅This 58-year-old nurse from Maryland is seen being violently dragged along the ground by officials in Ghana.
Trump deported her there.
This abhorrent & disgusting abuse of a woman who saved American lives and cared for injured and ill Americans for 30 years.
All the details below are worse.
