First Indigenous Peoples Day where I can say: If you are not fully aware of how the US government has terrorized Indigenous people and our children from its inception, read my book.

Created in collaboration with Race2Dinner, here's the harrowing true story of America's history with boarding schools, and the forced assimilation of Indigenous kids and families.

Biggest show our group has put on so far - expecting a solid crowd (so maybe come early to get the best selection!)

More like 60/40 - when the wind is from the north they'll take off toward Downtown, and when from the south they'll head out over the river. Most of our weather is one or the other. (The runway along Highway 77 is limited to northbound arrivals or southbound departures)

The St. Paul Downtown Airport has just celebrated its 100th anniversary, growing up with NWA and named after our first chief pilot, Charles Holman. Listen in on an interview our chief archivist, Bruce Kitt, did recently on @mprnews.org : www.mprnews.org/episode/2026...

St. Paul Downtown Airport to celebrate 100 years of aviation history
Decades ago, the airport near downtown St. Paul was the epicenter of aviation for Minnesota. It was there that the first private airmail route for the Midwest originated and where Northwest Airlines b...

This Saturday, October 10, join us at the Wyndham Bloomington (Mall of America) for the annual MSP Aviation Collectibles Sale event! From 9 am - 4 pm, and for just $5 entry, the hotel ballroom will be literally packed with vendor tables. It’s the biggest sale event we’ve ever put together!

Instead, let's just say "on the doorstep of KSTP-TV studios" and insinuate Stanley Hubbard himself may have been the perp.

So there is clearly a moral basis for Dems to become at least as uncompromising as the GOP. But there are practical and political bases as well. The demands they would make aren't crazy or selfish or extreme. And the public appears to be with them. www.offmessage.net/p/the-new-ra...

In real life, adding water tanks around the ship (supplied in-orbit from mined/asteroidal sources) is an excellent way to shield occupants from cosmic radiation. I could see “habbitrail“ tubes wrapping around inside the hull plating to give the swimmers some window access w/o big tanks everywhere 🐬

Here’s the most incredible story you’ll read today. A small plane with four people aboard crashes in a field. Another pilot witnesses it. That pilot happens to be flying a bunch of skydivers. They offer to jump to assist, are given permission. The skydivers happen to be EMTs. Everyone survives.

Skydivers alert emergency crews, assist after plane crashes near East Troy airport
Four people were aboard the single-engine plane when it went down in a cornfield near Carvers School Road in East Troy at about 1:30 p.m.

We haven't even really talked about how diesel costs are killing public school budgets. Since conservative policies have led to the closing of so many rural schools, I can't imagine the money-suck of having to drive kids 30 minutes one way. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

How school districts are coping with the high cost of diesel for their buses
Diesel powers more than 87 percent of the buses that shuttle about 23.5 million students to school and school-related activities

I guess one way in which I differ from the Republican nominee for US Senator from Minnesota is that I love Minnesota and enjoy living here. Something I like about @peggyflanagan.bsky.social is that she likes the place she is running to represent. Seems like it may help someone in that job.

They can put their ads on Eau Claire stations - only reason to run them on Twin Cities broadcasters is to sway Minnesota elections. Pumping money into MN races without having to declare it.

Every country that criticizes the U.S. for Trump is one dumb vote away from the same fate; he’s just a (stupid, pustulent) face of a global movement. Poilievre, AfD, Geert Wilders, Le Pen, etc. Even if we turn the tide here, it’s still a global fight.

From spending childhood summers Up North & heavy exposure to WCCO radio and TV newscasts in the ‘70s-‘80s. When I travel for trade shows (esp Texas and Atlanta), I’ll try to shift cadence & speed to blend in better.

Some people are so universally beloved that I think we shouldn’t be told when they die. Let us figure it out eventually but never receive confirmation. We should always be able to idly speculate that somehow there’s a chance they *could* still be alive
