Yes, tariffs are about money. But they're about a hell of a lot more than that.

Historian of French Revolution here to say that in periods like this, squeamish compromisers do as much to drive radicalization as do ideologues. If you keep making excuses for the unfit king, eventually folks come for you and him.

For context, this is on an abandoned bldg near my house, a metal plating biz that closed in 2016, leaving open vats of hexavalent chromium & other highly toxic chems. A fire w/h forced evac of most of western StP. Luckily EPA cleaned it up just before Trump 1 cut their emergency response budget.

We left Trustone about 8 years ago after being customers for the previous 20+ years. Their service had declined substantially and almost every interaction was frustrating.

Just heard that Ramsey County is refusing to offer Jake Lang any deal on his felony property destruction charges. 1-5 years.

A mural of a migrant and child on the side of BroTex in Saint Paul, where ICE abducted 14 workers and several observers in November in what was a sign of things to come across the Twin Cities. Fuck ICE.

For me, this was the start of the occupation. A week later they terrorized the East Side guns drawn with SPPDโ€™s assistance.

In another city on a river beginning with M*, you can lose your license for just one of the offences Minneapolis gives an $80 fine for, and you lose your license for four offences Minneapolis thinks are worth $40 fines. Road fatalities are < half the Minneapolis rate over there.

Dad's dad: farmer in Indiana named Thurman. When I knew him he leased his land, gardened, & kept bees & rabbits. Smoked a pipe.

Mom's dad: newspaper editor/publisher in small town in Illinois. Made bank investing in farmland. Abusive to his kids but remote & disinterested when I knew him.
