I’ve been using @laurarbelin.bsky.social as a source for months and I just now learned she’s on BlueSky.
I recommend anyone interested in Iowa politics follow her.

Voting NO on the DHS funding bill is the bare minimum.
Backing Kristi Noem’s impeachment is the bare minimum.
Holding law-breaking ICE agents legally accountable is the bare minimum.
ICE is beyond reform. Abolish it.

Anybody else get "dirt snow" or is that just a rural Iowa thing? i.e., it snows, then gets windy, and dirt from the fields of the farms west of me covers the snow, I think?
@theswinerepublic.bsky.social would cover crops reduce this?
Clean water? We don't even get clean snow here!
