These are great questions to ask our Hennepin County Commissioners. How are they going to use their power to keep us safe from MAGA kidnappers? Give your commissioner a call: Marion Greene - 612-348-7883 Angela Conley - 612-348-7884 Irene Fernando - 612-348-7882

If this the execution of a criminal warrant why were ICE and Home Land security agents there? If it was an immigration case, why were military vehicles needed. In either case, why were Minneapolis and Hennepin County officers involved but no one seemed to know why? Can’t have it all ways

I think one consequence of the ICE Raids, particularly dragooning other federal LEOs into them, is going to poison the well for basically any law enforcement action because people cannot on the face tell the difference!

Everyone needs to watch this John Morales clip. (Also, Cat 5 Dorian came within 150 miles of our house in Sebastian, FL, which was under contract with a closing date of September 2nd. It was incredibly stressful, and we were very thankful for level-headed mets like Morales.)

Everyone should read this. I met Dan Janzen when he gave a lecture to @biology.ox.ac.uk I think in the late '80s. I spoke to him afterwards and he said, you know we could save all of the rainforest with a ten cent levy on every cup of coffee sold worldwide.... www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Watched that aurora substorm roll in online— watched the GOES-18 Magnetometer fall and then snap higher, and watched the substorm light up the sky in front of a live feed in Maine. Obviously not comparable to seeing in real life (too far south for this one to break through the city lights) but neat

If these conditions continue (Bz -10 south) and elevated Kp, in theory we could get some aurora chances… it just might be @ALERTCalifornia watching time tonight (look at cams facing N/NE near CA/OR border) #CAwx 6/2/2025

On May 29, 2025, atmospheric CO₂ concentration at the Mauna Loa Observatory reached 430.71 ppm. When I was born in 1991, the global average was around 355 ppm. A cataclysmic geological shift in just three decades, and no serious effort to « flatten the curve » here.

Key quote from this recent press release we discussed: "Not a single pilot has shown decreased employment among recipients of guaranteed income." This is after 20 completed studies by @mayorsforagi.bsky.social so far. See my pinned thread for even more UBI studies.
