On October 28, 1980, Grace Jones and her band played Zoogie's (formerly the Longhorn). Talking Heads finished their show at Northrop and came over to Zoogie's to dance. (The ad had to say "In Person" because nightclubbers might otherwise assume a disco-era DJ would be spinning Grace Jones records.)

In a major escalation in Dems embracing anti-trans positions, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, the official campaign arm of House Democrats, released its first anti-trans ad supporting Nancy Lacore in SC-01. Transphobia is spreading among dems. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Trump on cognitive tests: They give you 5 words. Five words. Hat, Hair, Logo, White, Black. Please repeat them. Hat, Hair, Logo, White, Black. You got it right They go, holy shit. Nobody can do that. When I told the fake news about it, they said: ‘Oh that’s so easy’ Very few people could do that

This. DHS is a remnant of the failed war on terror. A complete failure, and a colossus that’s grown into being the 5th largest military force on the planet by itself (behind only the full militaries of the US, China, Russia, and Germany).

Common Dreams@commondreams.org

After another shooting and the raid on Ilhan Omar's home, Rep. Delia Ramirez says abolishing ICE isn't enough. She has introduced a bill to "dismantle" the entire Department of Homeland Security.

Somali Minnesotans are a part of the fabric of our communities. They are our neighbors, friends, coworkers, and fellow Minnesotans. I stand in solidarity with our Somali community who deserve to feel safe, respected, and welcome in the place they call home. ❤️

That spring also gave us Daryl Strawberry and Jack Morris with the St. Paul Saints. What a time for minor league sports in MN!

I got to cover them during my internship at the Pioneer Press with my mentor Mike Augustin in 1996. Ashley was such a fun player. Rickey Foggie at QB! Also got to see a young Kurt Warner sling it for the Iowa Barnstormers at Target Center that season, too
