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.

Girls are bad at math but also only men can write sweeping narrative non fiction pieces for Important Magazines.
Make it make sense.
Make it make sense.
the people who spread the “female brains are bad at math and spatial reasoning” lies should be tried at the Hague
Another fun wrinkle from that period (that might still exist): I was good at math and loved it and then my geometry teacher told me that I'd probably struggle because female brains were bad at spatial thinking. I kept loving math & being good at it but assumed that would end so I ended it first.

public radio and journalism as a whole is a hard field to be in rn but public radio newsrooms across the country have been sending lunch to my colleagues and i on a weekly basis (at least!!!) over the last month and i find that so heartening

I think one thing people outside Minnesota don't understand is that after Good and Pretti were killed by feds while observing, the most normal people you could imagine have made peace with the fact that they could be next, and they are still out there because they say it's the right thing to do.
“If I am killed doing this, throw my body at the White House, martyr the shit out of me & raise hell. Do not be sad. Do not think I would do anything differently. I would do it over & over again — this is too important to sit down & shut up and not do anything.” www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

Most of the footage you see from ICE observers in Minnesota comes from the core cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul. I talked to observers in the northern suburbs, who say they're taking on the same mission in very different conditions. (1)

I’m just now finding out now some people don’t like that Wolves basketball games are a play in 4 acts
As has been well documented here and other places, these Timberwolves are a moody, emotional team. It is who they are. Take it as you will.
Doesn't seem to be a problem for Memphis. Or almost every top 4 western conference teams
