First post time. It feels a little awkward but this seems like a nice place. I'm a small scale sustainable vegetable farmer in Minnesota growing on 3 acres and selling locally.
When I'm not farming I'm spending time with my wife & daughter, woodworking, cooking or playing video games.

Counterpoint: As a small-business owner, I assure you we want and need paid leave
A statewide plan is needed if we are to compete with the big guys on a level playing field.

Shortly after the Felon King was inaugurated and I saw mainstream media bend the knee I decided it was time to go back to our journalistic roots and subscribe to my local newspaper the Mankato Free Press. I feel like a fool that I didn't subscribe sooner. #localnews #mankatofreepress

Musk, Vance & Trump all misrepresent democracy.
When they say “democracy”, they mean a free-for-all with no rule of law, where the winner takes all.
When Europe says “democracy”, we mean proportional representation, collaborative politics, citizen rights, and agreed guide rails guaranteed by law.

And just yesterday I asked my banker if there were any safeguards in place to prevent this. They said “well if it happens to you it will be happening to everyone.” Not reassuring.
This is absolutely insane. Musk’s DOGE crew just straight up *took* $80 million from an NYC bank account!
Okay what is going on here. Are the accounts at a private banking entity? Does the federal government have direct debit permission set up? So many questions as to how Treasury instructed this payment. (Via NY Post’s Craig McCarthy)

The fact that the CIA or some other elite government group hasn’t black bagged Elon and his cronies is the best proof there is no deep state imo

There’s so much I’m frustrated with in DC right now but one thing I haven’t seen talked about much is how muskrat and his oligarchs talk about this: like it’s a game, like they’re getting a new high score or leveling up. But it’s real life - he’s hurting real people. Our neighbors. It’s so callous.

We’re lowering costs for middle class families, which is why we were just ranked the second-best state to raise a family.

J.P. Morgan econs on Trump’s latest are “increasingly concerned that the policy mix may tilt into an unintentionally far less business-friendly stance. The sustained 25% tariff on Canada and Mexico set to start this weekend is materially different than the tariff increases built into our baseline.”

Sunflower microgreens are coming along nicely. You’ll notice a lot of the hulls still there - I think next time I need to leave em in the germ chamber for a day longer. Most of the hulls are falling off though! #agsky

The latest from the woodshop. I ran out of space for Star Wars legos, toy tractors from my youth, books, and mementos that I love. These walnut shelves, located in my office sanctuary, will be perfect for all of the above. #woodworking
