I'm giving a short legal continuing education lesson tomorrow for @MinnesotaCLE via Zoom — and WOW—have you tried using @prezi video?? I'm in love, and only a little because it makes me feel like a TV news anchor again. Also, @Apple Pages + @AdobeSpark made my handout 💯

Minnesota’s no-barrier testing sites are phenomenally easy to use, free, and fast. No wonder our case counts are decreasing rapidly—our governor knows how to run this joint. A thankless job given all the hardship still. Thank you, governor.
Think you may have been exposed? Just want an extra layer of precaution? Stop the spread before it starts, and find a COVID testing location near you: mn.gov/covid19/

We’ve seen this in South Africa before. Beware of agitators and instigators who use legitimate protests to ignite chaos between protestors and police.

Protesters: Stay away government, trust us private citizens to make responsible health decisions. Also Protesters: Watch us responsible Freedom-loving Freedo-philes spray hot respiratory droplets all over each other's raging faces!

I’ve been out here 1.5 hours and the crowd has stayed the same, maybe grown. Constant parade of honking cars and motorcycles.

Hey @DrinkOrgain is there a more sustainable packaging solution in the workout powder category? I feel ill every time I empty one of these.
Thinking about dad and every quart of Minnesota-style chicken chow mein (ground pork celery slop over crispy pre-packaged noodles) he's served in 40 years. FYI, dad eats a bit of it every day-cause it's delicious "horseshit." He'd also out-Cantonese cook @andrewzimmern any day.
When Chinese chefs Americanize their cuisine, it's "horseshit," but when Andrew Zimmern does it, it's “a unique take on the bold flavors of honest Chinese cuisine.” I wrote about Zimmern and his new restaurant Lucky Cricket: wapo.st/2r3CpCy

This is so huge. Twin Cities media need to put this in context so the facts are known to voters. #VoteKeith
⚠️Former GOP-appointed MN Supreme Court Justice Paul Anderson on @Doug_Wardlow's secret blog. #MNAG "I found the conduct of Mr. Wardlow so egregious, so undermining of the ethics and the standards that we had on the Court, I thought he should have been terminated immediately."

Hear, hear. My law partner @TedHallerMN's take on cameras in the courtroom in MN @mnbar @MNSupremeCt xitter.cf/TedHallerMN/status/989…
I have grown tired of the elitist argument from lawyers that the public is too dumb to process media clips of courtroom proceedings, and that their feeble minds must be protected. It’s also insulting to hardworking, smart journalists who contextualize their stories.

This is why you should join me as a @mnbar member and add your reporter/lawyer voice to this conversation. Your take is a matter of justice reform. Replace perp walk video with well-dressed courtroom defendant video! xitter.cf/TedHallerMN/status/989…
Agreed. Without cameras, media often resort to cartoonish caricatures of defendants by replaying perp walks or mug shots. Cameras allow more wholistic (read: truthful) portrayal. xitter.cf/FrederickMelo/status/9…
