My latest: I wrote about Trump's Golden Statue. And as a former Christian, let me hold y'all's hand when I say...the Trump figure is not the modern version of "golden calf". If you know your Bible, the statue represents something far worse. karenattiah.substack.com/p/trump-is-n...

Trump Is Not the Golden Calf. He’s King Nebuchadnezzar.
Trump’s Golden 'Don Colossus' is a yet another warning sign of America's imperial decline.

PFAS are dangerous—and they don’t go away. Minnesota led with Amara’s Law to stop more pollution. Now, leaders want to delay it to July 2027. Minnesotans deserve to know what’s in the products we use. ⏳ No delays. No rollbacks. 📣 Tell your legislator: keep PFAS reporting on track #PFAS #MNLeg

ICE and DHS chased the wrong person, shot into a house, shot tear gas into the home full of kids and then gassed the entire neighborhood and then lied about what happened, and then shipped a witness all over the country to try to keep them hidden?

Minnesota will not surrender to ICE terrorism. They hate us because we are a free people who love our neighbors and exercise our inalienable rights. But we will win because our American values are more resilient than their basest hatreds.

This is pretty funny. The beef industry funded a study hoping to prove that animal protein is better for muscle building than plant protein, but the result was ... oops. Turns out vegan protein is just as good.
