Billions of dollars spent on the War in Iran, but we don’t have enough money for the things that help Americans here at home? Health care. Food stamps. Housing. Tariff relief. Lot of things we could do with billions of dollars.

Nonprofit “affordable housing” providers showing up to testify against Pause Eviction Saves Lives is just further highlighting the way in which nonprofits & foundations have completely failed to meet this moment. This is why we need actual social safety nets, not the Nonprofit Industrial Complex.

Bravo to Maggie Koerth @maggiek.bsky.social for this great piece, which ends with her call to have "high-status" people who are part of the in-group" i.e. white media personalities and politicians being willing to say crime is falling." Say it loud and say it proud. Well done, Maggie!

Koerth: Why do so many people think crime is up when it’s actually going down?

Important thread about St. Paul's tax base problems. This is the 5-alarm fire for our city: a lot of legacy infrastructure and expenses + a huge share of untaxable land = we simply need more people to live here. A lot more. I want people in leadership who will say that plainly. St. Paul must grow.

Finally, a reason to read the StarTribune! www.startribune.com/where-is-upt... (by the way, this is Uptown. More in the Alt Text:)

Boundaries of Uptown, based on the original plan from the organization that would become the Uptown Association, when they were campaigning to name the area for business advertising purposes in the 1930s.

Others disagree, of course, but Lyn-Lake is its own place, and it’s not Uptown. Lowry Hill is its own place, and it’s not Uptown. There’s damn apartment complex a mile into St Louis Park that calls itself “Edge of Uptown Apartments”, for heck’s sake! We can at least admit that’s wrong!

I swear, there are people who think everything south of Kenwood Parkway and west of 35W is somehow “Uptown”, and I hope those people get the help they need.

It’s been almost seven months since I broke my foot… And wow, does it feel good to get back on my bike. Ran four errands. Felt the wind on my face. Way less painful than walking at this stage of my long recovery. Hopefully next time I’ll remember my neck gaiter!

resolved: people who insist that all social media sites must be places where users are constantly encountering and arguing with people over fundamental disagreement do so because their actual, real lives are echo chambers where they do not encounter any meaningful difference from day-to-day.
