It was for distribution to its statewide network of food banks, shelves and meal programs. https://www.mprnews.org/story/2025/03/29/minnesota-food-shelves-worried-as-usda-cancels-truckloads-of-food
“A Wholly Inaccurate Picture”: Reality Cop Show “The First 48” and the Wrongly Convicted Man
—
Edgar Barrientos-Quintana spent 16 years behind bars wrongly convicted for a shooting featured on “The First 48.” The Minnesota attorney general’s office effectively alleged that the show shaped the case instead of the case shaping the show.

Yet again, USA:
Require that your members of Congress act to stop all of this; and to #ImpeachNoem, #ImpeachRubio, and #ImpeachTrump.
And require action by the state government to protect residents too, #Minnesota.

We’ve had growing crowds every week at the MSP #TeslaTakedown in Golden Valley, MN: 100-some, then 200-some, then ~350–380…. This weekend is supposed to be a really big one worldwide — every dealership, big crowds, really get some attention — but tomorrow’s weather forecast in MN looks kind of dismal.
I worry…but then I know we’re not so easily deterred. Let’s show them how it gets done here in Minnesota.
There are 4 Minnesota locations to protest, and many more worldwide. Find them here, and please show up if you can! https://www.teslatakedown.com

My son recently launched a #WeatherBalloon with a #camera and some instruments. This #photo is from about 30km up just before the #balloon burst. It's really cool that you can begin to see the curvature of the #Earth from this height and see the darkness of #space. I was on an airliner in this area on the same day and saw some of the same clouds and frozen rivers & lakes my son captured in his photos.
Republican who introduced Trump derangement syndrome bill arrested for soliciting a minor
A bill brought to the #Minnesota legislature to categorise “Trump derangement syndrome” as a mental illness.
The bill defines the syndrome as “verbal expressions of intense hostility toward” #Trump & “overt acts of aggression & violence against anyone supporting [him] or anything that symbolises [him].”

Driving down the street here in Duluth, MN and saw a billboard that read - in bold white letters on a black background - A TARIFF IS A TAX ON YOUR GROCERIES. I checked who had paid for the message. It was bought by the Canadian government.
While I wish the situation were different, I love the moxie. I have no notes. Please just don’t make the same mistake we did. #elbowsup #canada #minnesota #borders

Pretty darn good turnout for #TeslaTakedown today in Golden Vally, MN: I counted at least 350, and somebody else said 380.
That’s up from ~210 last week, and 100+ the week before.
See you there next Saturday? 11am until 12-something!
