The #Artemis II livestream continues to be the best thing on the internet. 😍

The return-to-Earth live coverage begins at 6:30pm Eastern (in about 90 minutes) with splashdown in the Pacific scheduled for 8:07pm Eastern.

Half of those arrested by federal agents in Minnesota this winter have already been deported The federal government moved at a rapid pace to deport nearly 1,700 people picked up during a surge of immigration enforcement in Minnesota this winter, according to data analyzed by APM Reports and M...

My colleague @katereports.bsky.social & I found most of those Minnesota residents were deported to Latin American countries, including almost 600 people returned to Mexico and about 520 deported to Ecuador. At least 17 minors were also deported. (2) www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

Data shows three-quarters of ICE arrestees in Minnesota had no criminal record The new data shows fewer than one-quarter of those arrested by immigration agents in Minnesota during Operation Metro Surge had a criminal conviction on their record. A little more than 13 percent of ...

Fyi, the numbers in this piece were obtained via a FOIA lawsuit by the @deportationdata.org. They provide the best picture yet of fed arrests during surge. My colleague @katereports.bsky.social helped clean the data for us and highlighted the top line takeaways. www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

Thanks to a FOIA lawsuit from @deportationdata.org, Minnesota is getting its first credible numbers on arrests during the federal government's surge here this winter. About 3,800 Minnesota residents were arrested. Most from Latin America (only 106 from Somalia). (1)

Talented reporters @elliemroth.bsky.social @jenpenned.bsky.social and Chris Peak take us to the the epicenter of Minnesota's group home boom. Police visited one such home 88 times in a year - more than once a week.

When I was in elementary school we did a trip to the Wonder Bread factory in Denver. At the time I was attending a primarily Hispanic school. Most of the trips were like that.

One thing that AI evangelists seem to assume, particularly legal AI evangelists assume, is that the thinking and analysis is quick, and the writing is just tedious busywork that slows us down.

But the writing IS the thinking and analysis. You work out the thinking and analysis by writing it down.

When I was in high school in Alaska, I sewed little doggie booties out of polar fleece and velcro for seemingly hours on end. This is so far above and beyond. I'm in awe.

I recall an internet debate around 2018-19 where a guy who went to a state school was told he needed an Ivy degree to get into journalism. I still think about that now and then.

The person photographed here who is in their bathrobe filming armed, masked federal agents in St. Paul is MPR News journalist @samstroozas.bsky.social @mprnews.org . She is an incredible journalist and person. We do not deserve her.

We suffered through a week of zero heat because the last time we called the HVAC people, they wanted to bill us for $1500 and it wouldn't even have solved the problem.

Husband bought $400 of parts and it's fine but it took 10 hours or so.

Free Speech in Deep Freeze - Nieman Reports On the ground in Minnesota, where journalists are working to tell the truth about government-sanctioned violence and spin

My friends at Niemanreports.org asked me to write about the experience of being a journalist on the ground in Minneapolis right now. I knew I wanted to tell reporters elsewhere how even this most hopeless of times has been clarifying and, in some ways, energizing. (1) share.google/ms1wKDQZmgep...
