Crockett: "The US is falling apart, partially bc he's allowing for killings in the street, but also bc we have a 34 count convicted felon being shielded from any type of accountability as it relates to a child sex trafficking ring. I don't understand why we're pretending any of this is normal."
This is a white supremacist paramilitary operation. Their goal—their stated goal!—is to force America to submit to the President's racist domineering vision for the country.
The sooner everybody starts confronting it on the terms that they themselves have stated, the better.
This article captures the core problem of fraud and theft of public resources. While I am troubled by the depth of fraud within Minnesota, it stems from years of slashing government oversight. The blame for alleged fraud in Minnesota belongs to conservatives open.substack.com/pub/aaronrup...

“Great entrepreneurs don’t panic, they pivot” Houston White
One potential positive impact with the Tribune location is its connection via the CP rail line and bridge over Plymouth to 26th Ave N. and Ole Olson Park. With the Graco site across the river also opening up for development, there will be more changes along the Upper River in the coming decade.
An idea:

A block of Bryant Ave S at night with 3 people on bikes (+ Laura behind camera) biking, just one car
Last night on our way home this block on Bryant had 4x as much bike traffic as car traffic.
At 9pm on a weeknight.
Build it (a network of protected bike infrastructure) & they will bike.

YES! It's time to imagine the future boldly with power to bring if forward. The complete dismantling of the 20th Century Civil Rights gains requires us to reconstruct the American promise as we did in 1860/70s, 1930/40s, & 1950/60s. A shared 10-year project beyond Presidential cycles.
I wish journalists would stop framing political news as wins or losses for politicians or political parties. It’s an abrogation of our mission. Why do we keep doing this? Is the spending bill a win or loss for the American people? Who does it help? Who does it hurt? Is it sound policy? Fiscally?
English majors and writers for the win!

this is such good news. i think it is also an opportunity for democrats to state forthrightly that when they win power again everyone responsible for this crime will be held accountable to the fullest extent of the law and will face the american people to answer for their lawlessness
Now there's a memorable stat!
"Colleges and universities are among America’s most competitive international exporters. In dollar terms, last year, the United States sold more educational services to the rest of the world than it sold in natural gas and coal combined."

The Democrats who seek to play ball with the would be dictator in the White House and his team are disqualified as leaders of the party. Now and always. Period. Those who are candidates again must be challenged and defeated. For the country’s sake. There can be no compromises with tyranny.

If you are interviewing someone who is there to defend an indefensible position of the administration - stop starting questions with "Are you concerned that..." The answer is no - they are not concerned. That is the point. Americans are of no concern of theirs.
If Trump issued an Executive Order requiring all newspapers to send articles to the WH for review before publication, would newspapers report it is a “requirement” or “mandate”? Or would the fact it’s preposterously illegal and unconstitutional make right into the lede and headline?
It’s very discouraging to watch our country slowly re-learn the lessons that led to the end of segregation, among them that people who think they’re racially superior are nearly universally incompetent fools unable to face up to their own deficiencies and putting them in charge is suicide
There are many Democrats who don’t agree with some or many of AOC’s policy ideas. But what she gets and more conventional Democrats do not is that political fight can be catalyzing and transformative. You can change the shape of the playing board in ways … www.cnn.com/2025/03/13/p...

Two photos of the Midtown Greenway. One is while it was still abandoned rail lines running under bridges, the image is bleak grays and browns. The other photo is of the greenway as a bike and pedestrian trail. The trail is crowded by bikers and walkers. The foliage around the trail is lush green.
Visionary changes can shift the course of what's possible in short order.
