@Broadfork Yes. The new greens of spring are good for the eyes. The rogue nettles are in the lead here, they shared their top four leaves yesterday for soup. And last week they shared leaves for a fertilizer water. Thank you Mastodon for the nettle enthusiasm. #growyourown, #nettles, #minnesota #zone4b, #gardening.
As a #TwinCities #Minnesota guy I haven’t heard of most of the places these reps are from. Embarrassing for the voters who elected them.

MN Republicans introduce vaccine criminalization bill drafted by Florida hypnotist • Minnesota Reformer https://minnesotareformer.com/2025/04/22/mn-republicans-introduce-vaccine-criminalization-bill-drafted-by-florida-hypnotist/
Per Bloomberg Law
The US Department of Justice is threatening to withhold federal funding from Minnesota if the state doesn’t reverse its policy allowing transgender women and girls to participate in female sports, the state said in a complaint filed Tuesday.
Minnesota’s Human Rights Act prohibits discrimination on the basis of someone’s gender identity or expression, and President Donald Trump’s executive order banning transgender women in female sports.
#Minnesota became the first state on Tues to sue the #DOJ over its threats to cut federal #funding to states that allow #transgender girls & women to participate on sports teams that correspond w/their #gender #identity.
The suit from Keith Ellison, MN’s AG, said that 2 of #Trump’s #ExecutiveOrders & enforcement letters from the DOJ violated state #sovereignty rights under the #10thAmendment, usurped the power of #Congress & violated the #AdministrativeProcedureAct.

Another quote from Reaganland (trimmed):
|• CARTER TRAVELED TO #MINNESOTA, BEMOANING the lack of enthusiasm for candidate Short, the businessman calling for 50% income tax cut and 20% slash in federal spending. Carter called the liberals opposing him “the one group of Democrats with whom I feel uncomfortable. They have a commitment to political suicide in order to prove some far-left philosophical point. It’s really disgusting.” •|
Sounds really familiar! What a turd Carter was.

Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison has filed a lawsuit against the United States Department of Justice.
The lawsuit targets two executive orders: one that banned transgender girls and women from competing on sports teams with women and girls, and the “gender ideology order.”
Northfield residents warned of elevated levels of manganese in drinking water, advised to use bottled water or filter
The level of manganese in drinking water is a concern, according to city officials. Elevated levels of manganese can lead to memory issues, attention deficits and problems with motor skills.
Infants under one year old are particularly susceptible to exposure, the city added.
This is yet another reminder that allowing charter schools in #Minnesota has led to increased segregation and worse academic outcomes.

2025 April 22
The number of intensely segregated school sites in the Twin Cities has grown almost five-fold, from 21 to over 100, since the turn of the century. Rep. Cedrick Frazier, DFL-New Hope, has introduced a bill to reduce socioeconomic school segregation.

This evil nonsense will not go anywhere.
But this is the MNGOP, which also has a literal flat-earther as a party leader.
Never vote for their candidates, #Minnesota .

This morning Minnesota Republicans introduced a bill banning mRNA vaccines and labeling them "weapons of mass destruction." It would make manufacturing, possessing or administering them a crime punishable by up to 20 years in prison.
