"Spring Explosive" (1965) by the renowned Spanish surrealist artist Salvador Dalí. About the Work: Created in 1965, Spring Explosive is a celebrated surrealist piece. It is known for its dynamic composition, which features three tall, stylized flowers—two red and one yellow—that appear to "explode" in colorful paint splashes across the canvas. Symbolism and Style: The artwork juxtaposes these vibrant, chaotic floral blooms with delicate, sketch-like human figures positioned in the background, a contrast often interpreted as evoking the vitality and fragility of the spring season. Mediums: The work has been produced in various formats, including original watercolor, gouache, and India ink on board, as well as limited edition lithographs. Legacy: As with many of Dalí's works, it remains a popular subject in art history and is frequently referenced in discussions regarding surrealist techniques and 20th-century graphic art.

The USPS IS NOT LOSING MONEY. THE USPS IS SPENDING TAX DOLLARS ALLOCATED TO IT BY THE BUDGET. THE USPS SHOULD NOT BE REQUIRED TO ZERO OUT ITS BALANCE SHEET IT IS NOT A BUSINESS IT DOES NOT HAVE SHAREHOLDERS. IF THE USPS IS OUTSPENDING ITS BUDGET IT SHOULD BE ALLOCATED MORE BUDGET.
Disappointed, but completely unsurprised. Frey's the worst.

Heck yeah, I'll RT this cool lichen
Gorgeous!
Statement on unlawful assembly, arrests at Whipple Building: This morning, our deputies issued dispersal orders at an unlawful assembly outside the Whipple Building after individuals blocked roadways, blocked access to local businesses, dumped glass into the street, and threw rocks, ice chunks and water bottles at law enforcement creating a serious public safety hazard. Arrests are being made. Freedom of speech and peaceful assembly is a right. Endangering the public is not. Unlawful activity including blocking roads, intentionally creating hazards and assaultive behavior will not be tolerated.
From what I saw today firsthand it was the sheriffs today constantly escalating at people protesting peacefully. The sheriffs were masked up like ICE while working hard to agitate and provoke the residents they were sworn to protect, all so they could provide security for ICE who murders people.
If I were a head of state, I would think setting a precedent that assassination is a legitimate tool of state competition would be unwise

ICE was the quarry target this morning and then driving dangerously through northeast & downtown.
ICE is still very much here and we need to make sure we still have people out keeping watch for our neighbors.

Wow.
ICE using the same ruse that Ted Bundy used to kidnap people should tell you something.
I don’t believe anything they say, is the thing
Someone was abducted at 10 AM by ICE on Central Ave. Their coworker says they’ve lived here for over 20 years, are documented, and have 3 kids who were born here.
Don’t be fooled by headlines when they’ve been lying to us the whole time. We still need you out patrolling until every agent is gone.

As Minnesota's senior senator runs to replace Tim Walz as governor, her votes and positions on Trump, ICE, and labor should be disqualifying to progressive voters.
Another classic post-Homan day where around school dismissal time we get a flurry of ICE vehicles all across our neighborhoods. Today one vehicle led an observer to their own home and pointed at it. This is a sick game to them, but we won’t be intimidated and we won’t stop until DHS is abolished.

A useful re-read from @haymarketbooks.org in this moment when everything is dire and it's so necessary to imagine and build. #booksky
Everything you’re hearing from the Trump administration is a lie. Today was one of the most active days in Northeast since the entire Operation Metro Surge began.
Nothing is changing on the ground in Minneapolis, no matter what headlines Trump and Homan try to create.

A lot of Dems are going to take Bovino and Noem being fired as the finish line, and it's very important to make it clear to them that it is a starting line
