We can call her a killer now right? Cuz she pleaded guilty to killing someone and is going to jail because she’s a killer who killed?

Former DFL chair Cynthia Martin gets 364 days in jail for felony vehicular homicide after leaving a deadly 2024 Itasca County crash.

Biked 1 mile to coffee. Then biked another mile to the pharmacy. Then biked 1 mile home. 95% on protected (separated) bike infra. More Americans deserve the freedom of a life like this (if they want it).

CoreCivic's name used to be Corrections Corporation of America (that means private prisons, which we worked to stop in 2016); and they 'rebranded' in 2016. These fuckers don't belong in Minnesota; and this is some bullshit.

President Trump is banning students majoring in degrees that don’t make enough money from taking out college loans. Degrees for social work, art, religious studies, teaching aides, and music will be hit the hardest. trib.al/aaAEu6v

Feels like if the commissioner of community safety was really the top of the public safety org chart, Frey would find the new commissioner before searching for the new police chief. But it doesn't actually function that way, which raises the question, why do we spend money on it?

The Justice Department is using federal conspiracy charges to sweep up ICE protesters. Some legal experts worry the agency is casting too wide a net to prosecute political activists.

Minnesota’s Superior National Forest received a $10 million grant in 2024 to cover wildfire prevention efforts, then DOGE delayed funding. now, parts of that area are burning. I spoke with a former wildland firefighter who says the cuts made the fire worse. youtu.be/0cbI9_CNZmM?...

Of course this is only true because conservatives have rigged it this way, and Dems have gone along, in the interest of “bipartisanship” or whatever dumbass thing Schumer and Co are doing.

Americans’ Social Security benefits will have to be cut by roughly a quarter in six years due to depleted funds, according to a June report from the Social Security Board of Trustees. That’s months sooner than the group had estimated in 2025. https://to.pbs.org/4f39DL0

Long🧵: One of the things I think about too much is how core beliefs are shaped by power, and what that means for the ways we live our lives. For example: healthcare. Not just the hoarding and cost of it. But also how healthcare has been defined versus what it actually means. 1/

Make no mistake here. This is Trump objectively taking the side of Iran, a nation we are currently at war with, over the Americans in Minnesota because he hates the governor and the fact that a majority of voters there did not vote for him

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 5d ago

Trump: "We heard in Minnesota there was a cyberattack and they blame it on Iran. I don't think so. I blame it on Minnesota because they're grossly incompetent. Iran's got bigger problems than worrying about Minnesota."

I need put some Minnesota Senate race thoughts into a post that I can reference for out-of-state folks who keep getting this wrong: - Angie Craig is to the right of state DFL and was even before her Laken Riley vote - This is not establishment vs. insurgent. Peggy Flanagan is a two-term Lt. Governor

My feelings about Haiti are the Anthony Bourdain quote about Cambodia. I was fortunate to visit in 2008, during the short interlude between coups and earthquakes, and it was very formative. A beautiful people trying to scratch out better lives in a land ravaged by colonialism. They deserve better.
