This comes after months of threats from federal agencies and an investigation into the Minnesota State High School League over its trans-friendly bylaws.</p><p>“I’m not waiting for Trump to sue Minnesota,” the state’s Attorney General Keith Ellison told reporters on April 22. “Today, Minnesota is suing him and his administration because we will not participate in this shameful bullying.”</p><p><a href="https://c.im/tags/Transgender" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Transgender</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Minnesota" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Minnesota</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/LGBTQ" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LGBTQ</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/LGBTQIA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LGBTQIA</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/LGBT" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LGBT</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://www.erininthemorning.com/p/minnesota-goes-on-the-offense-sues" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">erininthemorning.com/p/minneso</span><span class="invisible">ta-goes-on-the-offense-sues</span></a></p>
"While the soil-free gardens were rooted in the idea of providing a hands-on learning experience, they have since become a real source of nutrition for the school’s more than 800 students. Led by sophomore Miriam Jackson, the school now grows up to 200 pounds of fresh lettuce each month in the cafeteria."

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz gave his 2025 State of the State speech before the Minnesota legislature. While much of it was typical of such speeches, he also harshly criticized the Trump administration in plain language.
The vid includes the entire speech as well as 5 minutes of pre-speech activity in the chamber.

@John_Loader @Broadfork Yes. The home grown vegetables are better, generally speaking. Apparently factory farming diminishes the vegetables joy of living. #growyourown, #minnesota.

@Broadfork @rootsandcalluses Two fun examples are apples and onions. The dehydrated apple slices are a fine bite for us. And the dehydrated onion slices are concentrated onion flavor with a long shelf life. It’s a big year for the onions. We have been planting the onion starts out this week, at the same time we are almost out of the 2024 whole onion crop. The ferments and dried onions will last for months. #growyourown, #gardening, #minnesota.
Keep 'em coming

#Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison has filed a preemptive lawsuit against #Trump — seeking to block the administration from acting against Minnesota in the way it's taking on Maine under a federal push to ban transgender athletes from girls and women's sports.

I had not before needed to know what testing is done by the #Minnesota Dairy Inspection Program (https://www.mda.state.mn.us/minnesota-inspection-program-dairy-stats) and which was done only by the FDA.
But now I would really like that information.

@Broadfork Yes. The new greens of spring are good for the eyes. The rogue nettles are in the lead here, they shared their top four leaves yesterday for soup. And last week they shared leaves for a fertilizer water. Thank you Mastodon for the nettle enthusiasm. #growyourown, #nettles, #minnesota #zone4b, #gardening.
