The passing of Paul Newman (2008), Sean Connery (2020), Sidney Poitier (2022), and now Robert Redford (2025) signals the slow disappearance of a certain type of 20th century figure: men who embodied classic style in a way that reflected their taste, rather than a professional stylist.
How Did We Get Here? open.substack.com/pub/steady/p...
They want us at each other's throats.
Over Lake Pepin this evening.
Here’s a story that’s becoming all too common: federal immigration agents using racial and ethnic profiling as a rationale for stopping, questioning and detaining U.S. citizens who they suspect are undocumented.

It has been amazing weather for the MN State Fair.
Amazing!
Normally, the Department of Justice rewards witnesses for turning on co-defendants, co-conspiracists, and accomplices. Ghislaine Maxwell is probably the first witness rewarded for *absolving* them. Because she is part of a coverup, not a prosecution.
Trump Can’t Handle the Truth open.substack.com/pub/steady/p...
Are you paying attention?
People💙Bruce Springsteen says it all, sad but true!! The occupants in the Whitehouse, are soulless and hateful !! No love, no compassion, no empathy, no joy, just sucking the living life out of the world grifting off others! Their hearts are cold as ice😢and selfish #DemVoice1 #DemsUnited #ProudBlue
The President cannot commandeer any local law enforcement. The President does not run the Smithsonian. The monthly BLS jobs report is required by law. Release the Epstein files. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Just an absolute embarrassment! Do these guys even have brains to think this through!!!
SCOOTer is a doof. He took Wisconsin back 40 years.
It ain't going away, no it ain't going away....

The last six months will be defined by the GOP’s crusade to eliminate health care access and protect Jeffrey Epstein. The American people are paying attention.
What a bunch of free loaders! They should not be eligible for any benefits!
I how it spills over into WI next door.
Jeff Daniels speaks out.. He's everything that's wrong. We’re supposed to elect the best of us, not the worst of us.
My husband and I have been monthly supporters for years. I will be upping our $.
Nick Offerman says it best: OUR NATIONAL PARKS ARE UNDER ATTACK!

The first time Charlie Chaplin used his voice in a film, he wielded it to forcefully condemn the rising forces of fascism around the globe. Will we listen to his words today?
New in PN: The worst chief justice of all time "American history has no shortage of legendarily bad chief justices and disgraceful decisions. But John Roberts has overseen the wholesale corruption and capture of the Supreme Court, and history should look back on his tenure with revulsion."
THIS! Ken Burns is a treasure.
Had to go for a long quiet hike today with my husband on the North Country Trail. Just can't process everything in our ugly world
What, exactly, are we celebrating tomorrow? Our cutting off healthcare to the needy to enrich the greedy? Our new concentration camps? Our dying economy? Our ditching due process? Our corruption? Our broken legislature? Our corrupt SCOTUS? Our ridiculous buffoon president? #FourthOfJuly
My husband who is an independent rural nursing home admin is so frustrated with this extortion! Follow the money it's not in the best interest of the care of Grandma and Papa.
My daughter is visiting friends in the UK. The friends don't own a vehicle. They have gotten around by bus trains and planes. No rental cars. So proud of her navigating the UK, Denmark and Norway all by public transit.
Just ask Melania?!?
“It’s no accident that his attack took place after Trump has dismantled all of the domestic terrorism investigations at the F.B.I., while restricting any discrimination against white supremacists in our military.” open.substack.com/pub/noelcasl...
Federal and local law enforcement wearing masks is just plain unamerican. It’s a cowards move, and shows the fact that the kinds of deportations happening and the methods are, shameful and unpopular. adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/why-are-fe...

Even if it is against Senate procedures, it should have NEVER been written in the budget in the first place!
We’ll never know what could have been, but we do know they chose to believe him and not her, and now they are making up excuses for their votes that put us all in harm’s way. Don’t think this is a one-off.
Launching the U.S. into what could be yet another unpopular and costly forever war, while simultaneously pushing for an unpopular budget bill at home that will take food and healthcare away from millions of people. The "peace president."
👋🏼Happy Sunday
So unemployment up. Jobless claims up. Inflation up. GDP down. Dollar plummeting. More wars abroad. Soldiers on the streets at home. By every objective metric, this administration is a disaster.
Another give away to corporates and taking away from generations of the rest of us for generations.
Love that place, try to come camping up there every couple of years. Feels like the end of the earth.
We, the people, have spoken!
Tim Snyder: Today no kings, tomorrow freedom. There is a better America out there. There is a better America underneath. There is a better America that we can see. There is a better America that we can make. History is in our hands.
Great reminder

BREAKING: Kamala Harris issues statement on Los Angeles.
Everyone should say it: The thing about Stephen Miller is not that he is the brains behind Trumpism. Yes, he is one of the people who conceptualizes the impulses of the Trumpist movement and translates them into policy. But that's not what's interesting about Miller. It's not brains. It's bile.
They can't keep the lies straight anymore!
America was given a choice between a lawless, amoral monster and a qualified, intelligent, joyful woman of color—and it chose the monster. We need to reckon with the reality of what that says about so many of us here. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/america-ch...
To What End? open.substack.com/pub/steady/p...
"I pray that our Heavenly Father may assuage the anguish of your bereavement, and leave you only the cherished memory of the loved and lost, and the solemn pride that must be yours, to have laid so costly a sacrifice upon the altar of Freedom." - Abraham Lincoln
Thank you Senator Amy Klobuchar for important and relevant words at the University of St Thomas commencement today.
Phang: Putting aside the big bullshit bill that just got passed in the House in the dark hours of the night, DOGE has single-handedly destroyed so much of our federal government. We, as Americans, deserve to know why they have done it, how they have done it, and what they are continuing to do.
Definitely sums it up

Yes, still am.
Don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give into fear. Never. Ever. 🇺🇸
Amen!
If you don't millions or billions your life is not worth it according to greedy bastards.
Still waiting for the day when any Republican calls out, loudly, and by name, Trump for warmongering in Greenland and Canada and Panama. Same people that would tuck and run from Afghanistan, Russia, and Iran instead bully friends to look tough without consequence. Weak asses
The current president Is A Mob Boss.
The cold wet weather of early spring has past and today the sun has broken thru and 60's and 70's are on the way
One's a perfect fit.
A break from the craziness. Happy Spring, my work inspired by my all time fav artist Georgia O'Keeffe.
