A story I have kept around regarding Myanmar and the fight we don’t often hear about.
Just spending today clearing out some tabs and staying off social media. I don’t need to see impotent rage amidst a shitshow coming back to this country.

Thankful for the natural world and all it provides
The world persists, despite all that humans are doing to end it.
Remember that, get out and see the beauty in it.
Americans are joining RedNote to teach Chinese users how to 3D print guns
I love this for the monsters running China. They wanted our personal data, they accidentally got a breach of the Great Firewall. Hope it spreads like wildfire.
Show and tell: New interactive tour aims to raise Dakota visibility in Minneapolis
While much of the rest of the country will be falling in line with white supremacists, renaming bases back to Confederate traitors and whatever else they can do to prop up hate and suppression, Minnesota is doing it differently, celebrating those who were here before the rest of us.
Biden commutes sentence for Indigenous activist Leonard Peltier, convicted in killing of FBI agents

Iowa senator announces bill to purchase 9 Minnesota counties
From South Dakota trying to steal our western counties to random conservative secessionists trying to get away from non-white folks, Minnesota has its share of malcontents.
Now, some nutter in Iowa wants to buy nine counties. You know, all of the benefits of Minnesota but putting in none of the work. And, of course, those benefits disappear once the support of the rest of the state stays here.
Minnesota is best of class BECAUSE of the laws and mindset we have here, not in spite of it. You can’t BUY excellence, you have to BE the best. Conservatives will never know this, from the top of their party down.
Donald Trump Receives Diet Coke Bottle From Coca-Cola CEO Ahead Of His Inauguration
