M Health Fairview is tapping into the magic of reading.

A St. Paul artist is making her mark and making history in Northfield.
Artist Lori Greene created a mural for the Northfield City Council Chambers.
The piece is called “The River Connects Us.” The mural shows different elements of Northfield, its river, trees, and people who aren’t always represented. (snip) Greene hopes when people see her mural in the council chambers, they see themselves.
“I hope they are inspired,” Greene said. “I hope it’s interesting to them. If they look at it deeply, there’s a lot of layers. You can see multiple layers because we are all much deeper than we appear to be.”

It’s Memorial Day. Y’all wanna grill?”
George Perry Floyd Jr. wasn’t particularly skilled at flipping burgers, but he was glad when his friend Sylvia Jackson suggested the diversion. The coronavirus pandemic had left him jobless and listless, a shadow of the gregarious man his friends and family once knew. (Snip) For the two men, and so many of their friends, Minnesota was the “state of opportunity.” They had left Houston for the chance to pull themselves out of a vicious cycle of unemployment, incarceration and addiction.
Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador started a five-day tour to four Central American countries and Cuba on Thursday by lashing out at the U.S. government.
López Obrador criticized American officials sharply for being quick to send billions to Ukraine, while dragging their feet on development aid to Central America.
The Minnesota Department of Human Rights (MDHR) has outlined next steps for the city of Minneapolis in order for a consent decree to be submitted to the court system for approval in September.
Wednesday, MDHR Commissioner Rebecca Lucero sent a letter identifying those steps to Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey. The letter follows findings from a nearly two-year MDHR investigation into the Minneapolis Police Department (MPD), which revealed “probable cause” that the city and MPD have a pattern or practice of race discrimination.
Minnesota could become a destination for abortion services for women from other states if the U.S. Supreme Court throws out the landmark Roe v. Wade decision, and the state's abortion providers said Tuesday that they're preparing for the anticipated surge.
That's because abortion would remain legal, at least for now, under a 1995 Minnesota Supreme Court ruling known as Doe v. Gomez, which effectively established a right to abortion under the state constitution, said Laura Hermer, a professor at the Mitchell Hamline School of Law.

State investigators are calling the way prosecutors track credibility issues with Minneapolis Police officers a “systemic failure.”
These are issues that prosecutors are required by law to share in future cases.
The Minnesota Department of Human Rights report into racial discrimination at MPD provided the public a rare look into how prosecutors keep tabs on officers that may not be trusted in court.
Following a scathing report released Wednesday by the Minnesota Department of Human Rights (MNDHR), the state is looking to use a consent decree to ensure reforms within the Minneapolis Police Department.
The nearly two-year investigation into MPD found in the last 10 years, the department engaged in a pattern or practices of race discrimination, violating the Minnesota Human Rights Act. (SNIP) Responding to the findings Wednesday afternoon, Mayor Jacob Frey said he’s open to a consent decree.
Thursday, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey talked about the new Minneapolis no-knock search warrant policy in the city.
The new policy, which Frey proposed in March, no longer allows Minneapolis police to apply for or execute no-knock warrants, no longer allows Minneapolis police to request or respond to requests from agencies in other jurisdictions, and requires Minneapolis police to knock or announce their presence and purpose for entry at least 20 seconds before executing the warrant, or at least 30 seconds before executing the warrant if it’s between 8 p.m. and 7 a.m., among other requirements.
A Minnesota man connected to a scheme to launder millions in federal child nutrition funds has been charged after he was caught attempting to leave the country with a fraudulently obtained passport.
Court documents show Mohamed Jama Ismail, 49, of Isanti, is charged with one count of passport fraud. He has not been charged in connection with the investigation into Feeding Our Future. (snip) Prosecutors allege that Ismail, a native Somali who immigrated to the U.S. and later gained citizenship in 2005, later applied for a new passport, claiming he had “lost” it at home.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” that the current Supreme Court was “dangerous” for families and freedom in America.When asked about Roe v Wade potentially being overturned by the Supreme Court, Pelosi said, “Who would have ever suspected that a creature like Donald Trump would become president of the United States by waving a list of judges he would appoint, therefore, getting the support of the far-right — and appointing those anti-freedom justices to the court. So, this is not about long game. We played a long game. We won Roe v. Wade a long time ago.

ARLINGTON, Virginia — Pro-abortion protesters outside George Mason University’s Antonin Scalia Law School Thursday afternoon called for “mandatory vasectomies” and claimed that “the Bible itself tells you how to perform abortions.”

President Joe Biden called Saturday’s Buffalo supermarket attack “an act of domestic terrorism,” while the Department of Justice investigated the apparently racially motivated mass shooting as a hate crime.
Biden said “hearts all across this country are with the people of Buffalo” in a statement released by the White House after a teenage gunman killed 10 people and injured three others at a Tops Friendly Market in a predominantly black neighborhood of the city.
“We still need to learn more about the motivation for today’s shooting as law enforcement does its work, but we don’t need anything else to state a clear moral truth:
A 15-year-old teenager who went to a Dallas Mavericks game with her dad, became part of a living nightmare when she went to the restroom and never came back, only later to be found through nude advertisements for sex trafficking online in Oklahoma City by her terrified parents.
The North Texas teenager disappeared on April 8th at the American Airlines Center. The girl was caught on surveillance video leaving with a man. She was missing for 11 days.
On April 18, police found the girl in a room at the Extended Stay America hotel where she had been repeatedly sold and sexually abused.
White House chief medical adviser Dr. Anthony Fauci said on CNN Sunday that he would not serve in that capacity should Donald Trump regain the White House in 2024. Note to Dr. Fauci: Trump would not ask you to serve and would, in fact, probably kick you to the curb his first minute back in office. The top doc, interviewed by Trump-hater Jim Acosta, simply laughed and said, “well, no” when asked if he would work for the Don again. He added:
“If you look at the history of what the response was during the administration, I think, you know, at best, you can say it wasn’t
Some Yale law students are calling for the “unrelenting daily ostracization” of people who disagree with them on abortion — as if they don’t ostracize them already anyway. But in addition to giving conservative students migraines because of their constant caterwauling, the frothing radicals want to toss the Constitution tooThey don’t say what we should replace it with. Because that would require actual thought — something the radicals are unfamiliar with. They do a great job emoting and wailing and gnashing their teeth, but when it comes to thinking, it’s as mysterious as Oak Island.
Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg said Sunday that the Biden administration is not to blame for baby formula shortages experienced by American families nationwide. “This is a capitalist country. The government does not make baby formula, nor should it,” Mr. Buttigieg said on CBS’ ‘Face the Nation.’ “Companies make formula. And one of those companies, a company which by the way seems to have 40% market share, messed up and is unable to confirm that a plant, a major plant, is safe and free of contamination.”(Snip)“Gas prices—highest-ever price in the country, [$4.45] a gallon national average. Are you asking Americans to drive less?” Ms. Brennan said.
