The Supreme Court ruled 8 to 1 that conversion therapy is protected speech. Read my cousin Kiki's insightful condemnation ⬇️.
MSP's airport authority, the MAC, met today; I, on behalf of MN50501, along with labor and faith leaders, asked the MAC to pause funding for a proposed Delta lounge, so the airline would meet with community members and discuss good corporate citizenship.

A gender-neutral term like "spouse" seems better generally. But this conversation is really about states' laws concerning marital/partner rights, obligations, and privileges, right? Fussing about labels is missing the point.
To the world, he was an enigmatic and elusive celebrity and artist. To Minnesota, he was a neighbor.
For the past month, Jeremy Marshik and his team have salvaged this piece of Grand Avenue history, from the basement water heaters to the rooftop HVAC units and everything in between.
We should be learning from other countries...
This reality check by Rebecca Solnit grabs you right from the killer first sentence. Do yourself a favor & give it a read.
Planning!
It's ALL related to power and control. There's little point in ranking all the ways of oppressing and delegitimizing women.
Science is good. We should fund it.
what do you MEAN my flight will be late, i just watched something from THE MOON land on time
My formative memories of the '60s & early '70s often center on the Vietnam War & antiwar protests, civil & women's rights movements, & other battles for change. But it was also the 1st era of space flight and I am enjoying seeing people experiencing the awe & pride in real time for the first time.
