Cedar Rapids, Iowa is having a ride on Saturday, too. Reminder that I’m planning a SUNDAY ride for those observing the Jewish Sabbath. Details announced tomorrow but likely 1P.

I’ve been using @laurarbelin.bsky.social as a source for months and I just now learned she’s on BlueSky.

I recommend anyone interested in Iowa politics follow her.

Voting NO on the DHS funding bill is the bare minimum.

Backing Kristi Noem’s impeachment is the bare minimum.

Holding law-breaking ICE agents legally accountable is the bare minimum.

ICE is beyond reform. Abolish it.

Deporting children with cancer.
Using a 5-year-old as bait.
Shooting moms.

ICE is beyond reform. And today the House is voting to bankroll more terror. Hell no.

Anybody else get "dirt snow" or is that just a rural Iowa thing? i.e., it snows, then gets windy, and dirt from the fields of the farms west of me covers the snow, I think?

@theswinerepublic.bsky.social would cover crops reduce this?

Clean water? We don't even get clean snow here!
