I tool this at Bro-tex this morning. From a PiPress article about ICE on Lake St in June '25 "The Southern Poverty Law Center says there are Neo-Völkisch groups that “rely on a romanticized Viking aesthetic and mythos — imagery they use to perpetuate their belief in white racial superiority."

A local affordable housing activist who partners with my org is facing eviction (for some real b.s. reasons). She needs a relatively small amount of money to keep her family in their home. Can you help?

Our house has a beautiful Gingko tree in the front yard. When we moved in it was a male tree, but has since changed to female and now drops fruit in the fall. For about two weeks our yard smells like vomit. I apologize to visitors, delivery people, and mail carriers.

The Blue Jays were already my second favorite team, but I'm really rooting for them now.

![Israel’s embrace of Christian Zionists is especially remarkable for another reason. Some evangelicals interpret passages from the Bible to mean the Messiah will reappear only when Jews who have scattered to the corners of the Earth return to Israel. Once Jesus comes back, those who accept him will be saved, and everyone else—including recalcitrant Jews—will perish and be damned to hell. “I don’t want to say [evangelicals with these beliefs] don’t care what happens to the Jews, but they understand that there are some things in their theology that are necessary for the salvation of the world,” Rabbi Jack Moline, president emeritus of the religious pluralism advocacy group Interfaith Alliance, told me. “You have to break the eggs to get the omelet.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:o665aaxukytaxohdormni4uc/bafkreig4v33xoqupamaszcrsjy5acuvsvebgrgrk2fnelgajn4wfk2vfha@jpeg)
One of the best movies based on real events of all time. Feeling nostalgic about Bob and days when the Washington Post was a real newspaper.

Lynnhurst Park, with grieving Minneapolitans as far as the eye can see. Remembering the students at Annunciation, the people shot at Christo Rey yesterday, and all the people who affected by gun violence in our community. #Minneapolis

Hahahahahaha this hit our mailbox today. The delegates of Mpls endorsed @omarfatehmn.com and the cynical power grab by the state party can’t change the fact that he had the biggest and best organized delegation at the convention, nor can it change this lit piece. #DontRankFrey

If you can orchestrate a Zohran/Brad-style buddy bike ride with some of the Mpls candidates, that's news I could use.

The stadium sucks when the dome is closed, but being there when they opened it mid-game was one of the coolest sports experiences I’ve ever had. The fans were almost as nice as Twins fans. I could become a Jays booster if necessary.

If I could go back to mid-90s me and tell her that Bettie Serveert liked my comment about their new song, she’d plotz. How long would it take a time traveler to explain social media?
