Happy Confederate Surrender Day from Minnesota where we still have your goddamn flag and we’re not giving it up. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/28th_Vi...

The 28th Virginia battle flag is a Confederate battle flag that belonged to the 28th Virginia Infantry Regiment. Captured by the 1st Minnesota Infantry Regiment at the Battle of Gettysburg, the flag was brought to Minnesota and exhibited at the state's capitol for several years before passing into the permanent collection of the Minnesota Historical Society after 1896 where it has remained since.

Incredible reporting from my colleague Alex Brown on the ICE raid at an active wildfire, and the firefighters who are convinced it was a trap.

My daughter was in 3rd grade when I told her about Oxford High because it happened in our state and kids were going to talk about it. She cried and I lied and told her it was a rare thing. Six months later, I had to tell her about Uvalde. She didn’t cry or ask questions that time.

Watching Indecision 2008 election night coverage on Comedy Central, hearing Jon Stewart say CNN was calling the election for Barack Obama, and seeing Stephen Colbert break character for a second to wipe his eyes is a core a memory for me. That told me all I ever need to know about who he is.

I grew up believing that we couldn’t have efficient inter-city rail service and universal healthcare in this country but I forgot the reason…can anyone remind me? It was too expensive, right? Because the rich people needed tax cuts?

That’s the flag raising on Mt. Suribachi on Iwo Jima. It happened in February 1945. It has nothing to do with victory in Europe.

Sharing for Michigan friends, tip of the mitt in particular. Hope you are hanging in there. I just had an argument last week on the Petoskey News Review site with someone who thought it’s okay to eliminate the National Weather Service because he has “common sense and a barometer.”

There’s no legal requirement in the US to carry ID at all times. Sometimes, if I’m not driving, I may leave the house without my license. What is to prevent a masked group of “agents” from detaining me? I would have said the Constitution but clearly not so much these days.

More than 1 million Canadian tourists visited Michigan every year. 46% of all international visitors to Michigan hail from Canada. Northern Michigan is tourism-dependent, dominated by Trump supporters, and in for a hard summer.

Once you establish that people can be punished because the administration doesn't like their speech, expanding the bounds of who can be treated that way becomes inevitable.

Here’s an activity - take a statement from one of these Christian Nationalist politicians (like Josh Schriver) and replace the word faith with hate. If the statement makes sense, they are a Nazi. Example: “my ____ makes me want to overturn gay marriage” vs “my _____ makes me love my neighbor.”

I have never begrudged people with wealth having more than me but I have a huge problem with them having everything. We are not in a deficit because we’re overspending. It’s because we’ve been under collecting from the richest Americans, because they said we should.

If you live in Haley Stevens’ district you can call her DC office and speak to a live staffer. I just called and said while I appreciate her social media posts about the USAID situation, I fully support and expect her to show up to these events physically and in person to demonstrate resistance.

I’m so curious what the so-called adults in the room in the first Trump administration are thinking about the destruction of the Republic. Like Gens Kelly and Mattis - are they Christofascists at their molten centers or just happy to get richer, too?

No point, purpose, or agenda: for a while, I was flying into DC on a weekly basis for a project. I always chose Reagan over Dulles because the flight path in past the monuments felt like being on a roller coaster. At the time I thought it was fun. Thinking about that and this terrible tragedy.

DEI does not mean hiring unqualified folks simply because their skin color isn't white or they don't have a penis. DEI means reaching out and making sure that QUALIFIED folks from marginalized communities are given the same opportunity to fill an opening.

So, worst case someone repeated a Nazi salute several times during the inauguration but the best case - the billionaire tech-bro man-child who bought the sitting president, did a lot of drugs and gesticulated wildly during the inauguration - is also not good.
