Tomorrow, at 0930, I will once again be joining the gentlemen on @OurBlackNewsMN. Iโm so grateful to have been asked to join them again.
Please share and join us. It always promises to be a lively discussion!

Police chief is furious that people are criticizing his decision to deploy Flock cameras in their town.
Argues they should turn the town into a mass surveillance police state so he can do his job.
Shows his true authoritarian nature by saying: "I ought to do background checks on half the people that made comments."

The easiest wildlife habitat you can build in your yard is a six foot wide strip of lawn you stop mowing.
Pick the strip along the back fence or the useless corner. Mow around it, throw some logs and stones into it, add a brush pile, toss your fall leaves onto it, scatter native flower seeds intoit, and let God sort it out.
Extra credit: watch what grows and yank any plants you can identify as non-native or invasive.
Grass grows tall enough for skipper caterpillars to actually finish developing. Bumblebee queens can find protected ground and old burrows. Firefly larvae get damp litter instead of a mower passing overhead every week. Violets, asters, and fleabane get a chance to flower instead of being mowed within three inches of their lives.
Taller vegetation and litter create shade near the soil, places to hide, stems to climb and overwinter in, flowers to feed from, seeds to eat, and cover for animals moving across the yard.
Have grumpy neighbors? The trick is to make it look deliberate.
Mow a clean border around it. Put it against a fence or tree line. Give it an obvious edge. Put up a cute "we're making wildlife habitat" type sign. Make it read like "this is supposed to be here" not "we forgot to mow."
If you want to maintain it as an open patch rather than eventually letting shrubs take over, give it an occasional annual cut appropriate to your region and what grows there. Otherwise, leave it alone.
DISTURBING UNEARTHED video of WI Gov candidate @TomTiffanyWI smirking with blood smeared on him, indicating he will gladly cut healthcare to give handouts to billionaires.
Show this to a voter and youโll lock them down for @DavidCCrowley instantly.
KASPAROV: Why can't NATO shoot down Russian missiles over Ukrainian territory? When Iran attacked Israel, the Americans, French, British shot down Iranian missiles. Why can one shoot down Iranian missiles flying at Israel but cannot shoot down Russian missiles flying at Ukraine?
Remember when I told you we needed Hillary Clinton to come to WI when she was running in 2016 & you never got her here? I think I would sit this one out if I were you. We got this. Pick one of the other 49 to focus on, please. ๐
WI will support the primary winner, @neeratanden.
