4 days until pitchers and catchers report. Atlanta and Chicago great Greg Maddux delivers his pitch. “The professor” won 355 games over a 23 year career. A fine fielder, he won 18 gold gloves. As an Expos fan he also made my life miserable.

Sixteen years in MN and I’ve never set foot in this miraculous place: a midwestern dive bar where everyone is Hmong, with an attached pool hall, EDM stage, and where you can order pho until midnight. The idea people would want to kick immigrants out of this region is insane.

This, yes. The location is basically a storefront on a busy street in the middle of many Latino shops and restaurants. You barely know it's there. Unless...

There is one word in the English language that explains what Minneapolis is experiencing right now: tyranny.
We are under assault by a tyrannical government and its little jackbooted commandant. We are going to keep fighting, and we will win, stand with us.

I don't know why I thought of this but Minnesota's new statewide earned sick and safe time law prevents your employer for asking for proof of why you're not at work when you use it until you're out for a certain number of days. One day is not enough to require proof. Just thinking about that.
