Happy Confederate Surrender Day to my favorite item in the Minnesota History Center archive. It was captured by Private Marshall Sherman of the 1st MN Infantry in an 1863 battle where 70% of the regiment were killed, wounded or captured. Virginia has tried and failed to “recapture” it since 1960.

NEW: The actions of Trump and Vance in recent weeks highlight something under-appreciated.
The American right is now ideologically closer to countries like Russia, Turkey and in some senses China, than to the rest of the west (even the conservative west).

OK. Fine. Owl make my first BlueSky post.
But seriously, bad owl puns aside, I'm grateful to live in a place (Duluth!) where I can see things like this.
