If you have not yet read @adamserwer.bsky.social on Minnesotans' heroics, you are going to feel way better when you do. He went there. He talked to the people doing the work. Then he thought about it and produced something rare. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0... [gift link]

Remember the other day when I was saluting my friend Greg Ketter, owner of Minneapolis’ DreamHaven Books? This is him the following day. Greg will never say this, so I will — now is a great time to buy books from DreamHaven. Support Americans who stand up vs. 🧊. dreamhavenbooks.com

I can vouch for the people behind this - know some of them personally and have done great community work.

They're raising funds for those who feel unsafe leaving their homes.

They are at $1024/5k.

And right on cue, Trump threatens to invoke the Insurrection Act. Trump and Stephen Miller are deliberately trying to cause the rule of law and civil order to collapse in Minnesota for a reason. This is that reason.

Florida’s voucher audit is a warning: the state lost track of 30,000 students and hundreds of millions in taxpayer dollars that should have supported public schools. Kids pay the price when there’s no oversight. www.washingtonpost.com/education/20...

The World’s Goodest Boy(👇) was half Pyr, and I cannot recommend the breed/mixes enough. Friendly, lazy, easy-going nature and usually great with kids (as well as other animals). If you have room in your heart and your yard - take a chance on one of these good boys/girls. You won’t find a better dog.

Encyclopædia Britannica will continue to use ‘Gulf of Mexico’ for a few reasons:

-We serve an international audience, a majority of which is outside the U.S.

-The Gulf of Mexico is an international body of water, and the U.S.’s authority to rename it is ambiguous.

I seem to be hanging around this space now, so I thought I’d jump in and say something outside of comments. I don’t have much of anything to say, though. But I’m here anyhow.
