  1. Any #herpetology experts around? I caught this creature this morning inside our ground level apartment. (Set him free on our patio.) 34 yrs in #minnesota, mostly in a house, and we’ve never seen a #lizard indoors. Climate change? Or just our current ecosystem?

    What genus/species? Salamander? (I’ve got no idea. Just guessing.) It’s about 8cm long.

  2. A few Cretaceous age dinosaur bones have been discovered in #Minnesota - jaw portions of Terminonaris, and a tail vertebra of a hadrosaur. The state #fossil is the Giant Beaver; this specimen is from Saint Paul.

  11. Justices weigh church autonomy in transgender librarian bias case

    In Brief:

    • Minnesota Supreme Court heard arguments in a case involving a transgender librarian‘s nonrenewal at a Catholic school.
    • Reyzl MoChridhe alleges sex and gender-identity discrimination under the Minnesota Human Rights Act.
    • Lower courts ruled that church autonomy and religious-freedom protections barred the claims.
    • The high court must decide whether religious employers can invoke ecclesiastical abstention in disputes involving employees in secular roles.
  12. "Many of the Minnesota officials and activists I spoke with were not all that surprised when the federal government launched the surge in December. “Trump has said a lot of really abusive, horrible things about the Somali community,” Keith Ellison, Minnesota’s attorney general, told me. “It was an inevitable situation.” At first, the ICE agents focussed their deportation efforts on Somali businesses and neighborhoods, but the Administration had overlooked one crucial fact about the vast majority of the Somali community in Minnesota. “These are American citizens. They’re here legally. They got here on Delta,” Jacob Frey told me. “Once the agents realized that,” he continued, “they diverted their attention to Latino people and Southeast Asian people and everybody else.”

    Over all, Minnesota has a relatively small number of undocumented immigrants, around a hundred thousand people. But the motive behind Operation Metro Surge may have been something else entirely. “I think Donald Trump just hates that he lost Minnesota three times,” Tim Walz told me. “He personally hates our progressive policies, and they decided that Minnesota was going to be a target, and it escalated from there.” Still, as David Wilson, a local immigration attorney, observed, “I just don’t think all of us really at the time saw the scale of it coming, or how committed they were to the bit.”

    Luis Argueta, Jr., the communications director of Unidos MN, a Minnesota immigrant-rights organization, said the initial rumor was that the Trump Administration would be sending a hundred agents. “And we’re freaking out,” he told me. “We’re, like, ‘Oh, my God, one hundred agents!’ ”

    The first agents to arrive from out of town seemed poorly trained to handle local opposition. Minnesotans who recorded videos of ICE arrests were threatened with Tasers, pepper-sprayed, shoved to the ground, or arrested."

  17. Love's lawyer spoke after today's hearing and described what happened while flanked by Black nerds in super hero costumes.

    The team plans to purse a self defense claim due in part to the fact that Love is accused of assaulting Jake Lang -after- Lang's convey of vehicles dangerously drove on sidewalks and towards pedestrians.

    Self defense during a vehicular assault is legal according to the lawyer.
