I’m not sure how this guy turned his TikTok beef with The Minnesota Pisser and fake vigilante fight videos at the University of Minnesota into this, but shoutout, I guess

We, as Minnesotans, should take credit for more cool shit—why not brag about alt-rock hitmakers Marcy Playground?

Here’s my latest piece for Racket about the BWCA and Paul Gruchow. I talk about mining and death and wilderness and the 1988 NCAA Ice Hockey National Championship. Nature is cool and we should protect it.

To Gruchow, wild places like the Boundary Waters offered perspective and clarity: Where the dominance of humanity is undetectable, our assumed superiority is lost.

Here’s what we know: this isn’t about Iran’s people—it’s about oil, wealth, and power. @emanabdelhadi.bsky.social lays out why this war has no mandate (and why de-escalation is the only way forward).

George W. Bush may think that a war against Iraq is the solution to our problems, but the reality is, it will only serve to create far more.

"For Trump, it doesn’t make a difference whether the person has been convicted or is merely suspected. He chooses and promotes violence at every turn." On ICE and domestic terrorism in Minneapolis. inthesetimes.com/article/ice-...
ICE Is the Domestic Terror Threat
The federal agent who killed Renee Nicole Good shot her because he knew he could—because the Trump administration has purposely empowered law enforcement to act with impunity.

Kristi Noem and DHS are lying. Claiming an ICE agent stopped a domestic terrorist by murdering a civilian is absurd to anyone with a brain who has seen the video of what happened. They think you are stupid.
