So sad. They are given to us only for such a brief time

Please do come and visit! The sights and experiences are nonpareil. Don't make me mention the food. Yeah, it's cold up here but nothing a good jacket can't address.

They may call it what they will. Hundreds of thousands of American patriots showed up today to voice their disagreement with the current regime. "TDS" is a tired, old acromym which no longer has value, if it ever did.

Yes, you understand the difference. St. Paul is our Capitol city. Both Renee and Alex were killed in Minneapolis.

Cecil's Deli: best pastrami in the world! 651 Cleveland Ave S, St Paul, MN 55116.

To The Boss: thank you. We, the citizens of the Twin Cities, remain strong. Bruised but unbowed. We submit to no king.

Spot on! Cannot wait to evict this fool from the White House and make rapprochement to our Northern neighbors, who have been, as is their custom, mightily patient with us.

Tom Morello and Joan Baez, need anything more be said about the people's right to petition their government for redress of their grievances?

Sharp vocals, thank you! St. Cloud, you have new friends in Minneapolis.

Ooh, hello, winged one. I see you. Yet I am not sure how you belong.

Ask my wife: women always know that their freedom, rights and liberty are just one shot away from being denied. Roe v. Wade was settled law until it wasn't.

That is our Governor. Note the flannel shirt which is kind of a middle finger to the Washington suit-and-tie elite crowd. Call him what you will but Governor Walz always stands up for the people in his state.

1876 Bank Raid — Northfield History Center

We didn't ask for this trouble. But thank you to The Boss and the thousands who showed up. Up here, we only get pushed around so much before we push back. You may remember the James Gang raid on Northfield and how that worked out. www.northfieldhistory.org/1876-bank-raid

The Boss is welcome anytime in our fair Twin Cities. Up here, we practice what Christ taught, which is to welcome the foreigner and the less-begotten. Minneapolis/St. Paul certainly has its history of racial injustice. We realize that and try to do better. All we can do is try to be better.

Yes, the shift is palpable. Meantime, get out and vote in the midterms. I work as an election judge so I wanna see people standing in line to exercise their franchise from the time the polls open to the time they close. (7:00am to 8:00pm) If you're in line at 8:00pm, you will get to vote.

Big boo-yeah on that! Thank you for your patriotism.

000

That is our Governor. And our Lieutenant Governor, straight off the White Earth Reservation, which was home to my late mother-in-law. This is the team who makes Minnesota a better place. And no, you cannot borrow them.

Somehow, this market drop has to do with the ghost of Joe Biden. Y'know, he's to blame for everything the current administration has futzed up. Makes me wonder what all these attorneys-in-tow (Bondi, Blanche, et. al.) will do for a living after the Trump regime collapses.

Whoa, Bostonians know a thing or three about the overreach of royalty. Had a king once, never again. This from a guy who lives at ground zero where Renee and Alex lived.

You and Susan should meet. Absolutely NO one (especially me) tells her what to do or how to think. Given my family of origin, I am very grateful that she bows to no master.

Cheers! I take my kitties for a car ride and they know they're going to the vet!

Oh, I'm gonna give that one five stars. And you won the internet today! Thank you.

You sound like someone I and my wife would like to meet, Susan got kicked out her family's dining room for wearing the black SDS armband in her father's house (a WWII vet).

Good for them! As though reading is a dangerous thing. Well, it is for those who would wish to squash free thinking. "1984", first book to be exorcised.

000

I mean, how exactly right is that? When did we get into the position that EVERY one here should not be able to read a certain text, because certain people disagree with the content? Opposite side of the coin: tell me what not to read and damn skippy I'm gonna go and read it.

Beethoven is meant to be played loud. And anxious. And pensively. His lack of self-assurance was his gift, I believe. Fur Elise and Moonlight Sonata are all I'm good for. God bless you if you can bring forth some of his other works!

No, the point is to intimidate those who disagree with or especially those who do not look like the white folks in the Administration. From a pasty old white guy in Minneapolis, drop zone Operation Metro Surge. ICE out!

I am of Polish descent. Polish logic, the Polish underground in WWII. As per usual, the Poles got something going on which we Americans could take note of.

Trying to nap but gravity keeps getting in the way!

Here we are again, lolling in the sunshine of a fading winter. Noon-time snacks are upon us and after that, yes, another nap.

Yeah, you keep on writing. It's what I do to keep on keeping on. Power and change is in the words we put out there.

A poignant reminder that we need court jesters to point up our foolishness. To Steve Sack: wish you the best!https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/nfl/after-losing-use-of-his-drawing-hand-cartoonist-steve-sack-returns-to-work/ar-AA1Z5h5b?ocid=msedgdhp&pc=U531&cvid=69be9333dee145c6bb678f85ddc02852&ei=38

The net just keeping sweeping wider.

Sen. Kelly, Shall we compare notes? You are a decorated pilot and astronaut. Sec. Hegseth is an unaccomplished appointee and a former TV personality. Really, need any further comparisons be made?

Quite the thing. Poseurs getting red-faced for actual (and quite heavily decorated) service members reminding other service members that is their duty NOT to obey unlawful orders. This should be de reguer. We owe our allegiance to our Constitution, not a would-be king.

Hey Blue Eyes, I think someone deserves a snack!

000

Ooh, pretty one, you are so pensive. Of what do you think? What betwixt those ears gives you pause (paws?) to consider?

Good on them! This is supposed to be a congregation of governors to discuss serious topics, not a partisan worship service.

Someone thirsty? That's often how this works out. At least Mr. Takei has the courage to be out. Remember, when the screaming and yelling begins, it's often close to that person's heart.

Go 'Sota! Only where it's cold for 8 months out of 12 can we put stones on ice and make a sport of it. And an Olympic-level sport at that. ❤️

I'm actually taking no small amount of enjoyment from the freak out happening on the Right. Looking for something, anything with which to pillory a Grammy-winning artist who doesn't happen to perform IN ENGLISH. Wow, the bruised egos, the affrontery. More pouting desperately needed.

Charles Paul @10000lakes.bsky.social · 10/02/2026

Good for you! It's a heady feeling to be a published author. Also gives you a reason to get up tomorrow and go back at it.
