The Trump administration has announced its intention to invade Minnesota this week.

Report: ICE headed to Twin Cities targeting Somali immigrants

Trump targets Minnesota’s Somali community with harsh words and policies

Claims that Somali immigrants “contribute nothing,” “have caused a lot of trouble,” and repeatedly calling Somalis “garbage,” including Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar.

Trump calls Ilhan Omar ‘garbage’ and says Somalis should ‘go back to where they came from’

And about Rep. Ilhan Omar:

And planning an operation here in Minnesota this week:

How to deal with this ugliness? Obscene isn’t a strong enough word — and this guy is “President?”

Missed all the “open houses” for “Power On Midwest?” I did… sigh… It’s a big project, to put it mildly:

Info from the “POWER ON MIDWEST” website.

Keep an eye on it for additional info. There were a LOT of open houses announced in October, way too many to cover. I wasn’t here in October, and by happenstance learned of the last one on the 14th of November when in Cannon Falls… arrrrrgh, I could have shown up at that one.

They’ve divided it up into segments consistent with the initial filings with the Public Utilities Commission:

• Big Stone South-Brookings County-SD/MN Border (South Dakota)
• SD/MN Border-Lakefield Junction
• Lakefield Junction-MN/IA border
• Lakefield Junction-Pleasant Valley-North Rochester
• Pleasant Valley-North Rochester-Hampton

Do note that all the Commission dockets are now consolidated under CN-25-117 (adding CN-25-118, CN-25-119, and CN-25-120).

FYI, aren’t these 765kV structures decorative?

I must admit that I appreciate their mention of “Buy the Farm” at this stage of the process, and hope they continue. From their boards at the open houses:

Here’s their link to all those boards.

Keep an eye on that CN-25-117 docket. To do that, go to eDockets HERE at the PUC, click on eDockets again, and enter the docket number as below, click “search” and there ya are:

Onward…
