I’ve noticed an interesting difference between driving and biking. When you are driving, you can’t wait to stop. Always looking for faster routes, shortcuts and ways to get out of your car quicker. On a bike it’s exactly the opposite. We often find ourselves taking the long route just for fun.

ICE needs to mask to protect their identities, but ICE will publicize the names of protesters ICE demands to be addressed respectfully, or ICE will call you a "fucking bitch" ICE demands to be treated civilly, or ICE will fly into a rage and kill more innocents ICE, the biggest snowflakes of all

Just so people outside of MN know - a lot of the US citizens getting “arrested” by ICE never get processed at Whipple. They are roughed up during the arrest and then often dropped off miles from where they were picked up. It means we don’t know the true scale of what ICE is doing based on ICE stats

If calling a state secret police agent a murderer for committing murder will lead to more murder by the state secret police, it sure seems like the problem is with the secret police

The message from the White House this morning is that, once again, it falls on ordinary American citizens to remain calm and professional when dealing with the heavily armed agents of the government because they are very emotional and might fly off into a murderous rage at the slightest insult.

#OnThisDay July 22 1850: The riverboat "Yankee" leaves St Paul on a record setting trip 150 miles up the Minnesota River far into Blue Earth County, proving the River navigable for large steamships. At that point the captain turned back only because "swarms of mosquitos were proving too much."
Sepia-toned photo postcard of the steamboat 'Henrietta' with a large crowd at Saint Peter, near the the great central bend of the Minnesota River just before Mankato, in a scene very similar to that of the voyage of the 'Yankee', for which there are no photographs.
