The first major scandal of the @Tim_Walz Administration. State hiring rules are manipulated so a college drop out can get a plum job over a more experienced woman with a U of M graduate degree. The Minnesota legislature needs to investigate this now.
duluthnewstribune.com/news/governmen…
According to another article last summer in the Timberjay @joeradinovich was involved in the DFL cover up of harassment of @ChrisHoroshak for being gay. And now he is going to be the deputy who runs a state agency?
Sexual orientation may have been a negative for another IRRR job applicant. There seems to be a problem with that in the boys club on the Iron Range.
Minnesota’s Iron Range Boys Club can walk and chew gum. Covering up harassment of LGBTQ people, rigging government job searches for under-qualified applicants and shilling for sulfide mining in the Boundary Waters are not mutually exclusive. They can do it all simultaneously!
The excuse for hiring @joeradinovich at IRRR (posting the job for 24 hours) in March was that they “needed” him to work ASAP. Then why was he on vacation with @carlymelin in Hawaii in early April (according to her Facebook page)? And they passed over a more qualified woman?
Somebody just took down a Facebook post ....

Back to the drawing board.
The tax burden should be shifted to those who can afford to pay, not low wage earners.
@Tim_Walz must cut government waste, including the $100K political patronage position at IRRR given to @joeradinovich.
minnpost.com/glean/2019/04/… via @MinnPostMembers
Minnesota has sky high taxes. For all that money we should get Medicare for All, instead of waste and political patronage, such as the IRRR job given to @joeradinovich (sans college degree) that pays more than most liberal arts professors (with Ph.Ds) get at state universities.
Our state legislature should not approve ANY new taxes on Minnesotans until we have a plan for Medicare for All and we get PolyMet Joe off the government payroll.

This ad is stupid.
@TinaSmithMN is hardly an environmentalist. She supports sulfide mining in Northern Minnesota as does @realdonaldtrump. She buys the "jobs. jobs, jobs" argument.
The GOP has its facts backwards here.

alphanewsmn.com/new-billboard-… via @alphanewsmn
There is not a single Republican today who can run against @TinaSmithMN on her environmental record except former MN Governor @GovArne who is smart enough to oppose sulfide mining. The fact that the GOP thinks Smith is an environmentalist shows how extreme the GOP has become.
The fact that former Republican Governor @GovArne is calling out @TinaSmithMN and other DFL politicians for support of sulfide mining- not to mention the extreme right MN GOP that banned him from its conventions- shows how bad the situation is in Minnesota.
Bye-bye clean water.

A first scandal for a new Governor. A pro-sulfide mining politician with no college degree gets a $100K state job designed just for him and posted for only 24 hours. A woman with a masters degree is turned down.
What is @Tim_Walz going to do about this?

duluthnewstribune.com/opinion/editor…
It appears that @joeradinovich arranged his own hiring with political operatives at IRRR who kept the job open for only 24 hours and ignored a far more qualified woman applicant. If Governor @Tim_Walz is really upset about this, he will ask Joe to resign and order a fair process
Attorney General @keithellison should investigate hiring at the IRRR, and at least one political appointee in his office (Joe’s pro-sulfide-mining fiance @carlymelin) had better stay out if it.
We’re fed up with government corruption that contributes to environmental destruction.

Early in his Senate career, John McCain became ensnared in the #KeatingFive #scandal, which threatened to derail his political career, but after emerging from that scandal, another arose at home involving his wife, Cindy McCain. azcentral.com/story/news/pol…
[2014] The death of disgraced financier & developer Charles H Keating Jr. brought new attention to a major scandal that 25 years ago threatened to halt U.S. Sen. John McCain's political asceazcentral.com/story/azdc/201…kTn2
Just two years into his career as a U.S. senator, McCain along with four other senators became embroiled in the Keating Five scandal. His chief political adviser from 1997 to 2007 said McCain knew the incident would be a “dark stain” on his career. pbs.org/video/keating-…

Starting "Voices without Frontiers" #VoicesIWS
A program by @IWS_Network to promote awareness about the challenges & lessons learned by #Immigrant and #International #WomenInScience

I was born & raised in Chicoral, Colombia. A tiny town in the middle of the Andes Cordillera.
I attended Nuestra Señora del Rosario school, located in Espinal, 15Km away from Chicoral. Due to the high heat by noon, all schools start really early back home. This meant, I had to wake up at 5am to attend school every morning since I was 4 years old. #VoicesIWS
I did well in math and science in elementary and high school, so I chose to study clinical microbiology. Although coming from a low-middle income family, I was able to attend university, thanks to my parents’ effort to prioritize education over other commodities. #VoicesIWS

There are several serious problems with this piece by @paulmasonnews but let me focus on two.
First, after a bit of muttering, he ends up more or less unable to dispute @AndDT’s and Andrea Biondi’s analysis that EU law/State aid rules wouldn’t obstruct Labour’s 2017 manifesto (second hand musings about what some Treasury officials’ views may have been don’t really count).
He ends up resorting to implausible speculation that the Commission (or @eftasurv) would “go slow” on important Labour projects: implausible because those bodies are in practice pretty responsive to member states’ needs for priority.

Let's do something fun.

How well do you know American TV series?

Let's play a game.

Recognize these TV series by their plot.
Six young people, on their own and struggling to survive in the real world, find the companionship, comfort and support they get from each other to be the perfect antidote to the pressures of life.
Oliver Queen and his father are lost at sea when their luxury yacht sinks, apparently in a storm. His father dies, but Oliver survives for five years on an uncharted island and eventually returns home.

This week will be a momentous one on the redistricting front - with action in legal challenges to two of the worst congressional maps of the decade: Pennsylvania & North Carolina. #fairmaps 1/
In PA, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court will hear oral arguments on 1/17 in a challenge seeking to have the state's congressional map invalidated as a partisan gerrymander under state law. #fairmaps 2/ brennancenter.org/legal-work/lea…
Although several other ongoing cases in federal court challenging various maps under federal law, the Pennsylvania case is the first major case to raise a challenge under state constitutional law - which makes it worth watching for several reasons. #fairmaps 3/

How College Sets You Up To Fail (thread)

-The gap between "real life" & education has widened, and it handicaps your thinking dramatically
1-You dont know how to lead yourself

A degree provides a doneforyou plan", all the steps are laid out. This engrains being a follower
you THINK you are focused & productive, but if that plan was taken away, & you had to design your own education, you'd be at a total loss
