ALSO, today’s 1,200 word front page story by the Strib’s retail reporter (the Strib doesn’t have a labor reporter) devotes exactly one sentence to Target’s blunders, implying that the boycott was brief.
I wonder whether the retail reporter ever reads the letters to the editor; this one ran on Sat.

the funny thing is, all of our allegedly Strong Mayors are actually Weak Mayors when it comes to controlling their cops
WATCH St. Paul police, aiding ICE, restrain a man and spray him full in the face. They are not and have never been on our side.

The FDA has suddenly dropped a proposed rule to require asbestos testing in cosmetics.
The rule would've set up testing to identify cancer-causing asbestos in talc-containing products.
Contamination has repeatedly been found in talc-based cosmetics before.

It's certainly worth finding out why SPPD worked with ICE today compared to just the most recent example, but regardless of explanation the toothpaste is out & I think the average Saint Paul opinion is gonna shift fast.

Whatever one thought of it in the moment it's clear that a wide swath of Saint Paul residents have given SPPD a lot of good faith assumptions during an era when policing is under greater scrutiny. And I think today is gonna mark a major shift in that sentiment for a significant chunk of citizens.

BREAKING: The Trump EPA is abandoning a rule that would strengthen limits on air pollution.
The EPA will no longer defend Biden-era limits on fine-particle pollution, which causes heart and lung disease.
Scientists say this move could lead to dirtier air and more deaths.

Roads are going to get snowy and slippery fast from 7-10pm in the Twin Cities.
If you’re driving during that time, expect it to take about twice as long to get places.
