When I was trying to find videos to show my daughter saxophone and clarinet. I discovered that they’re only exist half of a live Gospel Machine video that had the full band with horns. So stupid that we didn’t record more. But Scott, the piano player did send me this and it rocks.

I paid property taxes on the patio today and they were up 400% from when it was an empty lot. We are actively disincentivizing investment and development.
The option to create Land Value Tax districts is included in the Mn House Tax Bill DE.
This would be a critical tool in encouraging the use of vacant lots and empty buildings for housing, businesses, etc
Let your state senator know it makes sense to include it! www.house.mn.gov/comm/docs/sf...

The Trump administration cut about $1 billion in aid to anti-hunger groups, according to Feeding America. It's put more pressure on organizations that distribute food to hold up their corner of the U.S. safety net, dipping into reserves and scrounging for donations to replace the food they had lost.

A lot of people in power are demonstrating that they don’t actually believe in the premise of the Declaration of Independence or the republic as a concept. They believe that some people are created superior, and it is offensive and wrong for superiors to live bound by the needs of those below them.

This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!

Black Americans make up 13% of the population. But as federal government employees, Black employees are:
20% of the Dept. of Health & Human Services
24% of the Dept. of Veterans Affairs
26% of postal workers,
30% of the Dept. of Education
That's the "swamp" Trump is draining.

How Trump’s War on the Federal Government Will Stifle Black Progress
For generations, government jobs helped build the Black middle class. With Trump and Elon Musk’s DOGE, those days may be over.

Daily reminder that the US president is kidnapping people who are legally allowed to be in the US, and sending them to foreign prison camps without any hope of freedom.
And that he plans to send American citizens next.
