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

Don’t take your eye off the ball, people. There is nothing more important right now than deciding what we all think about Will Stancil

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
