I am sadly out of town for work for this meeting, but please write to your park board commissioners to bring back the Mall Park. Attend if you can! Don’t let a group of busy bodies misrepresent the ages of process we went through to get that park planned. It is a free park! We should want that!
The Uptown Mall plan is back on the agenda at the park board next week. Mike Erlandson and pals are extremely energized over a loss of parking.
If you support park space over parking, emails to commissioners and in-person testimony would be helpful.

I am glad for this article, and I am also embarrassed that our paper of record has to do an article on what to do when your government is sending paramilitary forces to harass, endanger, and provoke you, your neighbors, and your city (because of a petty, corrupt old man with a Putin fetish).
We asked legal experts what ICE agents can and can’t do, and about the rights of anyone who is approached by ICE or who witnesses an encounter.
What ICE agents can and can’t do — and what legal rights the public has during encounters
Our FAQ on warrants, masks and what legal observers can document.

Not sure a party whose leader is trying to cover up his extensive ties to Epstein should be using the phrase “dominant predator”
Ogles: "It's important that we have a stake in Greenland, that they are quite frankly a protectorate of the US. They've been in relationship with Denmark - that needs to end. We've spilled more blood protecting Greenland than the Danes... we are the dominant predator force in the Western Hemisphere"

I think Walz has been a good governor and this is all the product of bullshit hatemongering but this is the right choice
Breaking News: Gov. Tim Walz will abandon his re-election bid in Minnesota and Sen. Amy Klobuchar may run instead, people familiar with the matter said.
Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz Won’t Seek Third Term and Amy Klobuchar May Run Instead
Mr. Walz and Ms. Klobuchar met Sunday in Minnesota, where he informed her of his plans and she confirmed her interest in running to replace him.

Accidentally ended up between two parts of Christian Braun’s family (all 6’-6’6”ish). His aunt assumed I was somehow part of the family and went in for a hug. Was a funny misunderstanding that they told to Christian when he showed up to join them.
I did say that I am open for hugs, though.

Would you use public dollars to help fund a target center replacement if at least half of all games played there (Lynx and Wolves) were on a local, free broadcast?
I know this isn’t realistic with the nba tv contract, but I’m curious.

Her name was Melissa Hortman. She and her husband Mark were shot and killed in their home in an act of vicious political violence. She was Minnesota’s Speaker of the House Emerita. They were dog lovers. Amateur bakers. Great parents. Best friends.
