The group bike ride for Alex Pretti is about to depart in Minneapolis, stopping at his memorial, then Renee Good’s, and finishing at the VFW. If you can join, hop on anywhere. It’s a warm 17° & sunny! I’ve never seen this many cyclists for a group ride. ⚡️✊🏽⚡️🚲⚡️✊🏽⚡️ #RIPPretti

PLEASE read this one. Kinda required reading. If you agree, which I hope you do, print in color and magnetically attach to your refrigerator. It is marvelous and very clear to all who visit: this is what we stand for. PERIOD.

This is an ad from the MSNBC website. The ad algorithm knows I live in Iowa (based on my IP address) and personalizes the ad accordingly. But somehow, it fails to recognize that cruise ships like this could not depart/originate from Iowa.

Thanks CNN for providing insight based on analysis of data rather than what political consultants spin and link to their own beliefs

"Americans cast ballots at polling places across the country on Tuesday, which means we have a bunch of data on voters voting — rather than just pre-election polls of a hypothetical electorate," writes Aaron Blake. | Analysis https://cnn.it/3Jvnzkb

It is widely held that post-COVID many companies raised prices to the maximum price the average consumer would pay and companies pocketed those windfall profits. Perhaps tariffs will shift much of those windfall profits to govt coffers.

Some of the most pro-Trump coverage NYTimes has ever done. On Epstein, they chose to adopt Trump's transparently disingenuous framing, treating a "grand jury records" stalling tactic as openness—he's trying to hide the rest—and presenting an obvious lie of "prepared to defer to the courts" as real.

After seeing Trump's picks for SoD, AG and DNI, Bluesky must stay independent. Sadly, the for profit MSM will succumb to pressures from the government, advertisers, and the billionaire owners.

You are up to date.
