I really need to do some regular posting of things I’ve found in books over the years.
I found this yesterday in a secondhand copy of a TS Eliot book of poems.

kind of funny that an olympian said they are here to represent "compassion, respect, and love for others" and some people automatically knew that was a statement against them

Earlier today, all 4 of Minnesota's Republican Congressional delegation authored and introduced a bill that would require the state of MN to turn over voter rolls to the DOJ, a key demand made by Trump and Bondi. Shameful. bringmethenews.com/minnesota-ne...
Minnesota Republicans propose to withhold federal funding unless state hands over voter rolls to Trump
The legislation introduced by Rep. Pete Stauber would withhold federal election funding from Minnesota until the state shares voter data with the DOJ.

Can confirm the high spirits in the room and an absolutely scorching “Ohio” that hopefully was captured on video…
Last night was a truly amazing musicmaking experience at a time when I sorely needed it.
The best news is that between tips, bar sales and a generous donation from the bar staff at the White Squirrel, we'll be sending over $1200 to the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota (ilcm.org).

“There was a line of children waiting to get treated by medics.”
ICE did this.
Trump did this.
Republicans did this.
“Centrist” Democrats who have caved on anti-immigrant bullshit for years did this.
Abolish ICE. That’s the minimum.

Someone just told me that they saw multiple people passed out during the first brutal wave of tear gas when there were still a ton of children and elderly folks. There was a line of children waiting to get treated by medics

I stood pretty close to Bruce Springsteen today.

Fists were pumped, tears were cried, and "fuck" was shouted at the anti-ICE rally we all needed.

Pretty sure Ben Harper. Then maybe Son Volt? And somewhere in there I played with Heiruspecs to round out my first three, but I don’t remember the order.
In honor of Nate’s first show at First Ave, please share your first show at First Ave
Well, quite the show for my first time to First Ave

The version of Ghost of Tom Joad that Bruce and Tom played just now was the greatest single musical performance I’ve ever seen in my life.

There is a level of alarm coming from many great small businesses in Minneapolis & St. Paul that I haven’t heard since COVID.
This weekend - pick a locally-owned business or three that you love and go spend some money if you can. We’ve all got to look out for one another and they need our help.

So in the wake of bully Holman’s whine fest of a press conference, we grow, we oppose them just as much if not more, right?
When the Wolves have a comfortable lead (no lead is safe) this season, I’ve taken to saying, “Don’t let up.” Feeling that now…

When the president was calling all Somali immigrants "garbage" who "come from hell" and "contribute nothing" to America and therefore needed to go "back where they came from" did you ask him to "stop the rhetoric," Tom?
Homan: "I begged for the last two months on TV for the rhetoric to stop. I said in March -- if the rhetoric doesn't stop, there is gonna be bloodshed. And there has been. I wish I wasn't right. I don't want to see anybody die."

Hey US friends - in addition to calling your senators to tell them to abolish ICE, it’s also a great day to tell them to vote NO on HJ Resolution 140 that would strip environmental protections from public lands surrounding Minnesota’s Boundary Waters.
