CNN projects Minnesota Secretary of State Steve Simon (D) has defeated Kim Crockett (R), who called Minnesota's 2020 election illegitimate, made lots of false claims about elections, and played an antisemitic video depicting Simon, who is Jewish, as a puppet of George Soros.

I beg journalists to stop denying or underplaying how much of an effect we’ve had on people’s perceptions. Most people aren’t victims of crime, we’ve focused more on inflation than a historic number of new jobs and a massive drop in poverty, etc. That matters, too.

As she traces the history and significance of the longleaf pine, @lacymjohnson reveals fundamental questions about how care for broader ecosystems is to be undertaken when so much land is held in private ownership in service of individual wealth-building.
