How many more studies does your city need proving that people on bikes and on foot spend more on shopping streets than people in cars? Bike-lanes mean business. #UrbanTruth

Hello. Fire pits that require consumers to pour isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol or other liquid fuel into an open container or bowl and then ignite the pooled liquid in the same location it was poured violate the requirements in voluntary safety standard ASTM F3363-19.

This is depressing mostly because it shows how powerful pop culture is compared to education. The Flintstones helped normalize the image of humans living alongside dinosaurs, and if someone grows up with that as a “default mental picture,” it can stick even if they later learn otherwise.
dear Atheists: How is it that cavemen survived the asteroid but dinosaurs didn't?
Scientist: Social distancing, they stayed 65 million years apart.

Do you need a measles (MMR) vaccine? Check this CDC info-graphic👇 www.cdc.gov/measles/down... More info here: www.cdc.gov/measles/vacc...
Infographic titled “Measles vaccine recommendations for non-pregnant adults aged 19 years and older by birth year — United States.” It shows a flowchart divided into two columns: adults born before 1957 (left) and adults born in 1957 or later (right).

Left column (born before 1957):
If not healthcare personnel, no MMR doses are needed. If healthcare personnel, check for documentation of 2 doses of live measles-containing vaccine (such as MMR), laboratory evidence of immunity, or laboratory confirmation of disease. If documented, no doses are needed. If not documented or vaccination history is unknown, consider 2 MMR doses at least 28 days apart; during outbreaks, give 2 doses 28 days apart.

Right column (born in 1957 or later):
First, determine if the person is healthcare personnel, an international traveler, a post-secondary student, a close contact of immunocompromised people, or a person with HIV without severe immunosuppression.
If yes, check for documentation of 2 doses or evidence of immunity/disease. If documented, no doses are needed. If not documented or history unknown, give 2 MMR doses at least 28 days apart (or give a second dose if only 1 prior dose).
If no to those risk groups, check for documentation of at least 1 dose or evidence of immunity/disease. If documented, no doses are needed. If not, give 1 dose of MMR vaccine.

After a second killing by ICE agents in Minneapolis, Pam Bondi sent a letter to Minnesota’s governor that tied the violence to demands for access to the state’s voter rolls. Our latest podcast explains why this is an abuse of power: bit.ly/4qcmjBM

Pam Bondi's “Ransom” Letter (with Wendy Weiser)
Listen to this episode from The Briefing with Michael Waldman on Spotify. Following the second killing of an American by ICE agents in Minneapolis, Attorney General Pam Bondi sent a letter to Minnesota Governor Tim Walz linking the violence in Minnesota to a demand that the state give the Justice Department complete access to the state’s voter rolls, among other requests.It’s an outrageous and unambiguous abuse of power. It’s also part of a broader strategy to undermine elections heading into the 2026 midterms. Listen as experts break down what has happened and discuss how we can both respond to ICE and protect our elections in this troubling moment.Recorded on January 27, 2026.Keep up with the Brennan Center’s work by subscribing to our weekly newsletter, The Briefing, at https://go.brennancenter.org/briefing.The Brennan Center is a nonpartisan law and policy institute that works to repair, revitalize, and defend our systems of democracy and justice so they work for all Americans.

Kare 11 local news just read, in full, this statement from Michael and Susan Pretti, the parents of Alex Pretti. "Please get the truth out about our son."
Statement from Michael and Susan Pretti
Parents of Alex Jeffrey Pretti

“We are heartbroken but also very angry.

Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately, he will not be with us to see his impact.

I do not throw around the ‘hero’ term lightly. However, his last thought and act was to protect a woman. The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump’s murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He had his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down, all while being pepper sprayed. 

Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you.
