2nd July 1863. Battle of Gettysburg. For perhaps the only time in the entire war the Confederates seem to be winning.
Dan Sickles, commander III Corps, is ordered hold on Cemetery Ridge. For reasons unknown he advances. Broken, his men begin to flee.
This is the moment on which the war depends /1

5-10 min read: 15 posts in total. Why Minnesota is the ONLY state in the nation to refuse requests to acquiesce a civil war era battle flag. We hold the line while the union regroups. It is our history. And history repeats itself. Cheers, Minnesota. Enjoy.
Every day on my way to work, just a normal commute:
1. Fist pump out my window at the half dozen heroic sentries patrolling Harding HS, East St Paul
2. Give the finger to Whipple from E River Pkwy near Cleveland
3. Waving "Hello" to Good Trouble snowpersons on W River Pkwy N of Lake St.

I can't lie. I have been woefully distracted by occupation to give this enough attention. And I want to because I think it matters.
I wish they'd defer it until we're not busy protecting our neighbors and children from masked goons with guns.

I'm curious whether any Saint Paul planners are ready to step out of the shadows in the new @mayorher.bsky.social administration to oppose @mndot.mn.gov's plans to rebuild I-94. You know there are some excellent, city-loving staff who couldn't buck the system before.

She declined treatment and continued the event a few moments later.

Abolish DHS. The agency is only as old as the post 9/11 airport pat-down procedures of 100% of flight passengers which was also a bad idea. The only reason we didn't dump it as fast as the preflight body searches is it didn't inconvenience us before it was weaponized against us.

Hello, MSP. I have set up a rent assistance fundraiser for Cedar-Riverside. Our neighborhood is majority affordable, and with many residents out of work in service related industries. Anything you can contribute is appreciated.

Yes. HUD and IRS fund affordable housing programs that a significant portion of Minnesotans rely on. I support the moratorium, but I'm not a sociopath with levers like those that can just be pulled on whim, and this president is.
Is there literally any (good/legit) reason that Walz hasn’t called an eviction moratorium yet?
