In Minnesota we’re cutting social security taxes, allowing Minnesotans to age in their homes, and investing in safe communities.

That’s what makes us the second-best state to retire. Give us a few more days above 0° and we’ll knock Florida out of #1 😎

The association between robins and the Oak King is rooted in Celtic mythology and Pagan lore. The robin is the bird representation of the Oak King, who battles the Holly King (represented by a wren) for dominance at the turning of the year.

When we say, “Remember, there is organized and there is disorganized and sometimes disorganized is its own kind of organized,” it speaks to how communities often adapt when they know they’re being monitored. In many movements, people have intentionally shifted away from predictable

Elon Musk's "Free Speech" for me, not for thee.
Elon Musk has presented X as a platform with limited content protections and an emphasis on what he describes as “unrestricted speech”. Independent analyses of X since Elon Musk’s takeover have found that the platform’s actual moderation practices diverge from its public presentation as a venue for unrestricted speech. While Musk has repeatedly stated that X is committed to maximal free expression, several documented policy changes and technical interventions indicate that the platform engages in forms of content limitation that critics describe as selective or opaque. Researchers at multiple institutions, including the University of Washington and the Center for Countering Digital Hate, have reported that X continues to remove posts, limit account visibility and apply algorithmic “deboosting” to certain users or topics, often without clear explanation or transparent appeals processes. The platform has also acknowledged the existence of visibility filters, though it argues they are necessary for managing harmful or low quality content. Investigations by media organisations have shown that X has restricted or downgraded the reach of accounts across a wide political spectrum, sometimes affecting journalists, civil society organisations and government critics. In several documented cases, users reported substantial reductions in engagement after posting material critical of governments with which Musk was publicly negotiating or maintaining commercial ties. X has not disclosed the criteria used for such downranking, and the opacity surrounding these decisions has led analysts to conclude that the platform retains broad discretionary control over what circulates widely and what does not. Regulatory bodies in Europe and academic observers have argued that these practices amount to a form of selective moderation rather than the absence of moderation. In particular, researchers point to instances in which content critical of certain authoritarian or semi-authoritarian governments appears to have been restricted, while material from state aligned accounts in those same countries continued to circulate without similar impediments. Such patterns have been noted in relation to Turkey, India and China, states where Musk’s companies have significant business interests and where governments have historically demanded compliance from foreign technology firms. X has complied with a number of takedown requests from these governments, even when they involved political speech. While the platform promotes itself as a defender of free speech, its operational decisions reveal a willingness to limit speech when doing so protects commercial interests, satisfies regulatory demands from powerful states or reduces conflict with governments that hold leverage over Musk’s business operations. In practice, this means that speech may be free only to the extent that it does not jeopardise relationships with governments capable of imposing legal or economic consequences.

A screenshot of a social media post from a parody account styled as a governor’s press office. The post uses all caps and mocks a political figure by describing a fake award in exaggerated, insulting language. Below it is another post sharing a short video clip from a televised event at the Kennedy Center. In the video still a man in a suit is being given a large decorative medal by another man while cameras and a news chyron run along the bottom. The scene takes place on a stage with a blurred backdrop.

Our government is a joke and not a funny one. Hopefully she sues. The White House posted a video of Sabrina Carpenter promoting deportations just days after she blasted the Trump administration for using her song as “evil and disgusting.”
