Caught a little of the citizenship debate at SCOTUS this morning (thank you @npr.org ), and basked in the sound of women's voices- lawyers and judges all - charged with guarding the common good. I'm old enough to remember when those voices were almost all masculine.

ICE surged in Minnesota to arrest criminals. Many of them were already in jail. An analysis of the Trump administration’s “worst of the worst” list shows about half of the immigrants detained were not taken off the streets.

How Russia’s War Has Devastated Civilian Life in Ukraine - bellingcat Russia's full-invasion of Ukraine began four years ago today. While Ukraine has resisted, the impact on civilian life continues to be severe.

Exactly four years since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Bellingcat’s Volunteer Community looks back at the data we have collected on civilian harm during this time - documenting attacks on cities and the near-total destruction of rural villages. www.bellingcat.com/news/2026/02...

🚨The most important graph in the world has another year of data, and it doesn't look good!🚨

NASA CERES satellites measure how much sunlight Earth absorbs and how much heat is radiated back to space.

The difference is heat accumulation, which has more than tripled!

Another day, another extrajudicial killing by our federal agents. This one breaks my heart: I have young adult children. #ICEout #RubenRayMartinez

This so wrong. And stupid. Why would anyone ever help us again?

A crime against humanity.

Please oh please let Mn Secty of State Steve Simon address Congress about voting!

Dang, I hope he feels at least a little ridiculous making that claim.

Twin Cities immigration crackdown delays home construction, slows real estate market As immigrant workers move or stay home, a shortage of workers in the trades also is affecting the existing home market and rental owners.

Oh, look at that, the people being imprisoned by the Trump administration were doing important work. Now we're paying prison operators thousands of dollars a day to prevent workers from building houses. Nice job, #corruptGOP !

Trump orders some U.S. coal plants to keep operating. Will Minnesotans foot part of the bill? Electricity customers in 15 Midwest states, including Minnesota, might bear the costs of continuing to operate a Michigan coal plant. A week before it was scheduled to shut down, the U.S. Department o...

Minnesota electricity customers still might be on the financial hook for coal plants in other states that were scheduled for retirement but ordered by the Trump administration to keep operating, including a plant in Michigan.

What a sad state our country is in when we see a message like, “The only thing more powerful than hate is love,” and we all immediately know it’s about the President of the United States.

Opinion | Don’t forget ― the Boundary Waters are still under threat "Behind the smoke bombs and tear gas and rubber bullets (and real bullets), another assault is happening, an assault on our public lands," Tony Jones writes.

Minnesota needs help on this front too- please call your GOP Senators . I'm not sure it's unrelated to the ICE occupation ; the colonial hunt for minerals sorta looked similar ? www.startribune.com/bwca-copper-...

Are they ending the war on Portland and Nicollet avenues yet?

Perhaps "this just cost us our only viable gubernatorial candidate in a state that was looking winnable " will knock Congressional Republicans out of their complacency. We can hope.

Remind me which Senators voted to confirm Bovino and Noem?

We're also getting tired (and I'm not even doing that much; some of us have other claims on our attention). Let's not romanticize this, please.

I think it's a common tactic in South Korea but I don't know more than my general impression.

No doubt Rump has ended TPS for Somalis precisely because they're a needle in a haystack here, which gives his thugs another pretext to keep on thugging. Something like 90 percent of Somalis in Minnesota have citizenship or green cards, is my understanding.

To be clear, #fraud is not a form of terrorism. Armed, masked agents breaking down doors and attacking peaceful demonstrators DO count as terrorism, however. And #Minnesota is getting very weary of the thuggery. #ICEout
