one of my favorite bits of gay Minneapolis history - to set the scene, around about 1979-1980, the Mpls Police Dept. frequently raided gay bath houses. In July 1979, there was a charity softball game between the cops and the gays, and the gays won! From the 7/30/1979 Minneapolis Tribune

MUST-WATCH: This is the arrest of Mahmoud Khalil from the perspective of his wife, who is 8 months pregnant. This is federal agents in plain clothes dragging a man from his home as punishment for his speech. @nyclu.org @ccrjustice.org @theimeu.bsky.social

Porsha Ngumezi should still be alive today. Texas’ abortion ban killed her. Abortion bans make pregnancy more dangerous. No one should be denied lifesaving medical care.

So let me get this straight—Trump’s nat sec adviser added a JOURNALIST to a group chat on classified Yemen strike plans?? This isn’t a group project, it’s national security. They screamed “Lock her up” over emails, but leaking war plans is cool now? Make it make sense.

I got this email from Rep. Bynum's office after calling about Mahmoud Khalil. So, I called Bynum's office to ask how exactly she has stood up for Mahmoud Khalil. No one could answer me.

A clear-eyed letter from Columbia historians. “The situation we encounter today is fundamentally different from these earlier campus conflicts. Authoritarian regimes always seek to gain control over independent academic institutions. That is what we see unfolding now.”

As Trump speaks about his executive order to dismantle the DOE, he praises Scandinavian countries like Norway, Denmark, Finland and Sweden for their excellent educational system. Someone should tell dumbass Trump that all those countries provide free or subsidized education for all its residents🤦🏻‍♂️

This is what we stand to lose if our public lands don't have trail crews. They are the ones who clear paths of fallen trees , repair washouts and bridges, remove rockfall, cut back brush, and make trails passable. We need them! Grand Teton National Park #nationalparks #publiclands #hiking #trails

Setting up a GNSS campaign site at Wonder Lake, near the end of the Denali Park Road. This site hasn't been accessible since a landslide (active since the 1960's) forced closure of the road in 2021. This site always has stunningly large numbers of mosquitoes. #FieldworkFriday ⚒️

When you are so afraid of Trump calling you Shutdown Schumer that you willingly accept Surrender Schumer as your legacy.
