In Minnesota, we value the people who care for our veterans, even if DOGE doesn’t. If Trump fired you, come work for the State of Minnesota and help take care of our vets.

I've talked about this elsewhere, as have others, but THIS is why Trump and all of the others are trying to make their moves through (illegal, overreaching) executive orders: They can't actually pass this hate as legislation. Here, the anti-trans sports bill was stopped in its tracks.

Here I react to the shameful encounter between American leaders and media and the Ukrainian president. No doubt there were more, but I saw five failures on our side: of hospitality, decency, democracy, strategy, and independence. Please watch and share. snyder.substack.com/p/five-failu...

Without much exaggeration, I often say that one of the high points of human civilization is that for less than a dollar, you can reliably send a letter anywhere in the US and it will arrive in just a few days.

His chosen birthday, Feb 14th, is why Black History Month is in February. Carter G. Woodson expanded Mary Church Terrell’s celebration of Douglass Day into Black History week, which became Black History Month. Undone is right. Mercy.

The "Gulf of America" thing is ridiculous, but if the press gives in on this, the administration will just keep pushing - maybe conditioning access on deadnaming people, saying Trump won the 2020 election, you name it. Draw a line in the sand now, while the stakes seem small.

Costco, which has come out saying it supports DEI, will make no changes to its existing programs, AND pays workers a minimum of $30/hour, is up 15% YTD. Target, which announced it is ending all DEI programs and has a minimum wage of $15-$24/hour, is down over 4%. Keep voting with your wallet.

The campaign against trans rights is also about stripping away everyone’s protections against discrimination, reviving, as Douglass put it “the moral blindness” of those who “persuade themselves that they are safe, though the rights of others may be struck down.” www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

As this place gets busier, I highly recommend the following Feeds: OnlyPosts (filters out reposts), Quiet Posters (highlights posts+replies from your follows that don’t get much likes etc) , and The ‘Gram (posts from your follows that feature images, great for following artists and pet pictures).

OK...the NWS Bot collection is now fully populated and ready to go. I'm sure bugs will come up along the way, but I think it is 95%+ stable. There's an index page at nws-bot.us including a map (borrowed from NWS) to find the right bot for the area you want to follow.
