A DVD in our possession was watermarked with a plea to call an RIAA/MPAA hotline with tips regarding media piracy. They literally asked for it! So obviously we obliged, repeatedly.

Crop art at the Minnesota State Fair! It is what it says it is - art made from various parts of crops, primarily seeds, lentils, and grains, occasionally leaves or flowers. For any non-Minnesotans viewing this, I'll start with mostly less political pieces. It's harder than you might think.
Untitled? by Jenny Lau
A red heart with radiating lines is in the upper half of the piece.  In the middle are two loons, rising up out of the water to either fly or dance.  The words "Forever - MN" appear in black at the bottom.  The piece is edged in a wavy border.  You can see from the seedlist that the inspiration was a Keith Haring drawing on a US "Forever stamp" where people instead of loons are dancing and holding up the heart.

Crops include white sorghum, red sorghum, french lentil, canola, wild rice, garlic skin, and millet.  Any others have been cut off by the photographer's (my) carelessness.Untitled? by Alice Hogan
In the center are two traditional portrayals of Vikings, with horned helmets.  The left is a bearded man with a photo of Governor Tim Walz's face, and the right character is a female with long blond braids and a photo of Lieutenant Governor Peggy Flanagan's face.  She holds a scepter topped by what might be a stalk of wheatand stands next to some miniature ears of multi-colored corn. Below them are the words "WELCOME TO MINNESOTA" in blue and green.  Behind the two Vikings are a lake or river with swans, a pink house I don't recognize, and a stylized version of the Minneapolis skyline with some of its landmark buildings such as the Foshay Tower and the IDS Center.

The seed list is partially hidden and partially too blurry to read due to the photographer's (my) inability to take good photos."Pac-MN" by Meredith Keller
This is a 3 dimensional piece in that the yellow frame of it is moved forward and shaped as if it's an arcade game.  The screen has a black background.  The words "MINNESOTA STATE FAIR 2026" are written in the Pac-Man font at the top left.  the rest of the screen has a map of the fairgrounds making the path that Pac-Man can follow, complete with yellow trails.  Some of the yellow trails have the street names spelled out on the seeds.  The screen also has red and blue ghosts, but instead of the normal bonus icons we see a pickle, an ear of corn, some pronto pups, and a chocolate chip cookie - all popular foods at the MN State Fair.

The seedlist shows yellow painted mustard seed in a Pac-Man shape, and the rest of the seeds are lined up for Pac-Man to eat:  red and blue painted mustard seed, black canola, white, yellow, and green millet, white navy bean, yellow soy bean, and yellow split pea.

This entry was awarded a blue ribbon for first place in its category."Minnesota Welcomes You" by Megan Bell
Paul Bunyan, in brown laced up boots, blue jeans, and a pink and ight blue checked shirt and cap, is neeling on the ground.  He steadies an axe against the ground in his left hand, while his right hand is outstretched to the viewer.  The grass is green, there are autumn colored trees in the background, and a multicolored swirly sky  is above.  The words "MINNESOTA WELCOMES YOU" are in the foreground.

This piece was made with amaranth, hulled barley, black beans, canola, flax seed, millet, rye berries, and wheatberry.  Most of these were painted.

It's no secret that Americans are driving bigger and heavier trucks and SUVs, but the visual reconstructions here are fascinating. Insane how little regulation we have here.

Congress betrayed the Boundary Waters. Time for Minnesota to act. • Minnesota Reformer
Minnesotans can make a powerful statement by passing an amendment to the state Constitution to enshrine such a prohibition.

Dear Strib: Tired of Minneapolis City Hall Drama? Focus on Something Else. - Racket
The Star Tribune's obsession with a supposedly dysfunctional Minneapolis City Council overplays minor issues, lets the mayor oft the hook, and obscures what the city has accomplished.

This bill is America Last. Copper ore will be mined from Minnesota, shipped to state-owned Chinese companies for smelting, and sold to the highest bidder on the global market. Republicans sold out the American people to benefit foreign corporate interests.

“The people of Minnesota have forced the Trump administration into a strategic retreat—one inflicted not as rioters or insurgents, but as neighbors.” This sentence from @adamserwer.bsky.social made me unexpectedly get choked up. It’s weird what does that these days. But still …

Minnesota Proved MAGA Wrong

One thing I found deeply moving about resistance in the Twin Cities was the universalism of loving your neighbor, the philosophy driving the opposition to the ICE/BP invasion. I couldn't help but notice the contrast with the blood and soil-ism of Miller and Vance. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...
Trump-administration officials and MAGA influencers have repeatedly called these activists “violent” and said they are involved in “riots.” But the resistance in Minnesota is largely characterized by a conscious, strategic absence of physical confrontation. Activists have made the decision to emphasize protection, aid, and observation. When matters escalate, it is usually the choice of the federal agents. Of the three homicides in Minneapolis this year, two were committed by federal agents.

“There’s been an incredible, incredible response from the community. I’ve seen our neighbors go straight from allies to family—more than family—checking in on each other, offering food and rides for kids and all kinds of support, alerting each other if there’s ICE or any kind of danger,” Malika Dahir, a local activist of Somali descent, told me.

If the Minnesota resistance has an overarching ideology, you could call it “neighborism”—a commitment to protecting the people around you, no matter who they are or where they came from. The contrast with the philosophy guiding the Trump administration couldn’t be more extreme. Vice President Vance has said that “it is totally reasonable and acceptable for American citizens to look at their next-door neighbors and say, ‘I want to live next to people who I have something in common with. I don’t want to live next to four families of strangers.’” Minnesotans are insisting that their neighbors are their neighbors whether they were born in Minneapolis or Mogadishu. That is, arguably, a deeply Christian philosophy, one apparently loathed by some of the most powerful Christians in America.

This martyr could be any of us. He is doing what so many of us have been trained to do. Standing and recording on his phone, trying to warn his neighbors, and now he’s dead because armed, masked federal paramilitaries are acting with impunity to perform ethnic cleansing.

If you want to write this sentence in the context of a fascist takeover of a major American city, write it about the school parents, neighborhood rapid response groups, and local businesses keeping each other safe. Not townies who go to the bar at 10am.

One thing I’d like to see is my senators and governor every day on tv at 5pm holding a press conference with video of every documented abuse that ICE is doing. Curate all of the witnessing we’re doing and show it to the press.

I’m seeing lots of people on here misunderstand the purpose of ICE watch. It’s de-escalation. And it’s grounded in the social science of violence. 🧵
