No surprise here, Cooper Flagg went #1 to the Mavericks, but at #5, the Utah Jazz took Ace Bailey and that was surprising to many. :30- Mariners Morning After The Mariners were shutout by Joe Ryan and the Twins last night, but George Kirby and the Mariners pitchers didn't have a bad day in the 2-0 loss. :45- Taylor Swift surprised the attendees of Tight End University and proved it's not hard to make special moments for fans.

Lawyers and advocates in the Twin Cities and southwestern Minnesota say federal agents are making home visits to interview unaccompanied minors. That's according to a recent story by Sahan Journal. Unaccompanied minors are children and teens who moved to the United States without guardians or legal status. Many are staying with sponsors, who are usually family members, while their cases go through court. The Trump Administration has told national news organizations that agencies are making “wellness checks” to look for signs of exploitation and human trafficking. But immigrant advocates are raising concerns. Joining Minnesota Now to explain is Sahan Journal's immigration reporter Katelyn Vue.

Headlines and Seahawks One Series: ROB RANG (LockedOn Seahawks Podcast) The Seahawks brought in DeMarcus Lawrence and the former Cowboy could have big impacts on this Hawks defense. How concerned should we be about his age and injury history? :30- ABCs of the Mariners - G is for guilty… Chuck was guilty of hoping Ty France would hit into a double play and he did! - H is for holes- as we discussed yesterday, our lineup doesn't feel as holey against righties; but as we approach the trading deadline, should we utilize this time to see who lasts through the deadline, Solano or Canzone? - I is for interchangeable- Brash said that he and Munoz are pretty interchangeable, but that wasn't the message with Munoz going in the 8th, was it? :45- Reckless at Breakfast- with a boatload of 1st round picks in the first round over the next few years, could the Thunder be gearing up to package those picks and trade for Giannis?

We've discovered a time-warp. The Mariners win in Minnesota, despite Luis Castillo blowing a 5-run lead in the 4th. Luckily, the bullpen stepped up and the M's were able to do some of the little things to get the winning run in the 9th and walk away with a 6-5 W. We saw Munoz in the 8th and Brash in the 9th and Dan Wilson didn't have us questioning his moves. It felt like a good fundamental win. :30- Mariners Morning After The Mariners squeaked out a 6-5 win and it was a Julio sac fly that won it for the M's, his second of the game and the season… and thus “Sac Watch” has begun. :45- Caitlin Clark was in town last night as the Storm fell to the Fever in front of a sellout home crowd.

Nurses and health care workers in the Twin Cities and Twin Ports voted this morning to clear the way for a strike. We talk with the union about why they are considering that step and what's changed since their last strike in 2022. The shooter who attacked two Minnesota lawmakers and their spouses in their homes was allegedly dressed as a police officer when he came to their doors. That's raising questions about how officers identify themselves to the public. Plus, the U.S. Supreme Court recently upheld a ban on gender-affirming care in Tennessee. The ruling won't affect Minnesota law, but it could bring more families to the state seeking care. And we meet the host of a radio show that's all about rural Minnesota cooking!Today's Minnesota Music Minute was “Company” by Alica Thao. The Song of the Day was “500 Dollars'“ by the Lamont Cranston Band.

More than 15,000 nurses and health care workers across 22 hospitals and clinics in the Twin Cities and Twin Ports have voted to authorize a strike amid contract negotiations. While it doesn't mean a strike will happen, it's one step closer to health care workers going to the picket line. Chris Rubesch is the president of the Minnesota Nurses Association, the union representing the nurses and health care workers involved, and an RN at Essentia Health in Duluth. He joined Minnesota Now to talk about the vote.Minnesota Now reached out to the Twin Cities Hospital Group for an interview, but they were unavailable. They provided this statement:“Today's announcement of a strike vote puts the union's “strike first, patients second” mentality on full display. It is disappointing that the union has chosen this path instead of working collaboratively to find solutions. While today's vote tally does not mean a strike is imminent (a 10-day notice must be provided), if the union decides it is preferable for our nurses to leave their patients at the bedside, our hospitals will be fully prepared to care for patients. As they must be, our teams are focused on concluding these negotiations, reaching a fair settlement, and serving our patients.”

The Mariners crushed the Twins and Cal Raleigh homered again. It's his 32nd homer of the season and the NVP chants have been getting louder. Is it too early to talk MVP? Probably. Is it going to stop us? Probably not. :30- Yesterday we chatted with Curtis Crabtree about JSN following his breakout season last year. What kind of success can we expect from JSN this season without DK Metcalf garnering so much attention? :45- The Thunder are NBA Champions and the talk has already begun about their long-term success potential. Are they built for a dynastic run? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Mariners kept the bats hot in Minnesota last night en route to an 11-2 win over the Twins. Did they just get hot or is there actually something to the idea that having some success (i.e. Chicago) can actually have a positive affect on your next at bat individually and as a team? :30- Mariners Morning After- the M's come away with an 11-2 win over the Twins and Julio drives in 4 runs. :45- It's Draftsgiving week with the NBA Draft tomorrow and the NHL Draft starting on Friday… maybe we should all get together to celebrate on Thursday? The NBA Draft isn't like it used to be with 10 of the teams in the league not even participating in the 1st round. They trade their draft picks like it's nothing and teams like the Nets are picking 4 times in the first round. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

From Amy:Timing for creative work is interesting. Sometimes you start a project that, for whatever reason, doesn't want to come together right then. Later the perfect timing arises, and you understand that this project was preparing itself to meet the moment.I recorded this conversation with Sigrid K. Nielsen two years ago; then my podcast went on a forced hiatus. (As in, my editor quit to be a musician, causing me to rework my production process.) Which meant that this and other conversations never got produced, but I kept them in reserve.Now it's Pride Month 2025; now is the moment.What I said then is equally true today: Sigrid K Nielsen lights up a room. I have spent time with her on many occasions, live and on Zoom calls, 1:1 and in groups, and she's never been anything but her most authentic, fully expressed, and yes, BLISSFUL, free self. That's a choice on her part. When you read Sigrid‘s book (forthcoming) you'll see what I mean: Sigrid is incredibly vibrant. But you don't have to wait for the book to meet her. You can listen today.Be forewarned, Sigrid will force you to rethink things you thought you were certain of. Because she sure has rethought things. Courageously so.Back to the timing: As I release this episode, it's Monday, June 23. I wanted to release it on Friday, but that just didn't want to happen, even though it was ready. All the things were conspiring to delay publication. Then on Saturday evening, we learned that bombs were illegally dropped on Iran without notice and without any justification except to make an old man feel good about himself. As with so much right now, there is so much distraction.And I'm going to say this part out loud: Othering trans people, making them scapegoats for all the harms in the world, is keeping US ALL from being who WE ALL truly are, seeing what's right there for us to see. WE ALL have it in us to be compassionate, kind, loving people, when we're not running scared from each other. But that requires awareness.We can make another choice.This othering is not a new tactic. It was there in the 30's in Germany, when trans people were targeted (we forget that part because their libraries, their history, their rich artistic culture was obliterated), and it was there in the 80's when Sigrid and I were coming of age, and only rockstars could dress as they wanted. Because it was a "costume."Performance, you see. Heaven forbid YOU be queer. Or other. Sigrid's former self knew that assignment.But that required hiding in plain sight. Even from yourself. And once you're aware of what's really there, you can't not see it. Pretending not to see is exhausting. You want to stop making believe.Isn't that true for us all?Sigrid is a trans woman who transitioned at nearly 50 years old. AND. This is who she's always been.As much as I have always recognized Sigrid's voice as powerful, her writing sublime, her presence uplifting and joyous, there has never been a moment when her message was more essential.We have solutions to find for our one small, beautiful planet's great problems. Queer people are not one of those problems. They deserve all the love.They are leading the way, ahead of their time.It's going to require all of us to face our deepest fears and embrace our most profound gifts. Our humanity. And to be abundantly clear, this doesn't mean YOU have to be TRANS. Unless you are.We need YOU to be YOU. That's our agenda.Because, as Sigrid often reminds me, though our stories may look vastly different on the surface— hers is from the perspective of a trans woman who came out at midlife, and mine is a different kind of midlife revival—our real-life stories are universal.We are all human and we are all in this together.Thanks Sigrid!Love, AmySigrid K.

This week brought another significant tornado outbreak to parts of Minnesota. Downtowns for the Twin Cities, Rochester and Duluth were spared from any storm damage, but are cities safer from tornadoes than rural parts of Minnesota? Does the urban heat island effect spare urban residents from a tornado tearing through their cities? “The urban heat island probably would not save you if the storm were in a position to enter that urban area,” said climatologist Kenneth Blumenfeld. “We should definitely disabuse ourselves of this myth.”Blumenfeld, who has researched urban tornados, said the probability of tornadoes striking skyscraper-filled cities like the Twin Cities, or smaller downtowns, are just as high as elsewhere. “All the big cities, [in] tornado prone regions like the Midwest, the South and the Great Plains, have relatively high amounts of tornado activity — it's a lesson for all of us that tornadoes can and do hit cities.”To hear the full conversation, click play on the audio player above or subscribe to the Climate Cast podcast.

Tuition is going up at the University of Minnesota this fall. The Board of Regents yesterday approved a 6-and-a-half percent increase — the largest in a decade and a half.

That does not include additional fees — which are also going up.Brooklyn Park police are investigating a break-in at the home of DFL leader Melissa Hortman, and her husband Mark. The incident comes days after the Hortmans were shot and killed in their home in what authorities are calling a politically motivated attack.

This week, i do an archaelogical dig into 160 years of baseball history in Minnesota. In many ways, Minnesota was an early leader in team sports being played before large crowds, when the Dakota and Ojibwe tribes would play native lacrosse games, as far back as the 1600's, long before European settlers arrived. As for baseball, their timeline stretches back to 1857, when citizens from the town of Nininger, establish the first baseball team in state history. Soon after the conclusion of the American Civil War, various teams begin to sprout up in the Land Of 10,000 Lakes, most notably in Minneapolis-St. Paul, as well as many outlier towns like Red Wing, Fairbault, Minnehaha, St. Croix and Hastings, riding the wave of the young sport's growth and popularity. 160 years later, the region's baseball history continues to be written by the Minnesota Twins, who bring the Major League brand to the state in 1961, after Calvin Griffith and the Washington Senators relocate to the Twin-Cities. I also present the history and construction of their current Home ballpark. Target Field, which stands as a testament to the Twins vision of providing a cathedral, that is not only on the cutting edge of baseball stadium aesthetics and functionality, but also for sustainable practices. Demonstrating a commitment to enviromental responsibility, and providing an inspiration to the Twins fans, to be champions for the very planet that sustains us all. #NinningerNine #NorthStarBaseBallClub #IgnatiusDonnelly #CaptainRolinOllin #VermillionClubOfHastings #MinneapolisNine #RedWingCrescentClub #SaxonNine #OlympicNine #BanJohnson #CharlesComiskey #LexingtonPark #AthleticPark #NicolletPark #MetropolitanStadium #HubertHumphreyMetroDome #TargetField #RodCarew #HarmonKillebrew #MudcatGrant #TonyOliva #LymonBostick #KentHrbek #KirbyPucket #JoeMauer #MikeKelly

Love Finds a Way (Even When Tinder's Not an Option)When Katherine's son with Down syndrome asked if he could download Tinder, her immediate "no" sparked a revolutionary idea. As a mother of four children with varying intellectual and developmental disabilities, Katherine recognized a critical void—adults with disabilities deserve safe paths to love and connection too.Katherine's journey to founding Find Love Safely weaves through profound personal transformation. After years as a stay-at-home mom initially driven by a desire to "fix" her children's disabilities, she gradually discovered the grace of accepting them exactly as they are. Her path led through corporate America, coaching, and what she describes as "the darkest year of my life" in 2024—experiences that uniquely prepared her for her current mission.Find Love Safely isn't just another dating app. It's old-school matchmaking with modern safeguards. Katherine personally meets every member and their guardian via Zoom before adding them to her database, ensuring authenticity and safety. The service has already created meaningful connections, with her son being the first success story, now happily in a relationship where they "have FaceTime dates every night where they sing worship songs to each other."Beyond romance, the service creates vital socialization opportunities. "Our children were isolated, on their devices all the time and looking for connection online," one parent told Katherine. Now, members practice conversation skills, learn boundaries, and build confidence in real-world interactions. What began in the Twin Cities has quickly expanded to multiple locations nationwide, with Katherine providing not just matchmaking but also educational resources on dating etiquette, consent, and healthy relationships.Join us for this powerful conversation about motherhood, resilience through life's valleys, and how one woman's empathetic understanding of a vulnerable population created a business that's changing lives. Follow Find Love Safely on social media or visit findlovesafely.com to learn more about this growing movement to help adults with intellectual disabilities find meaningful connection safely.Connect with Katherine:Coaching: katherinegyolai.comWebsite: Find Love SafelyFacebook: Find Love SafelyInstagram: Find Love SafelyYouTube: Find Love SafelyThreads: Find Love SafelyContact the Host, Kelly Kirk: Email: info.ryh7@gmail.com Get Connected/Follow: IG: @ryh_pod & @thekelly.tanke.kirk Facebook: Reclaiming Your Hue Facebook Page YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/@RYHReclaimingYourHue Credits: Editor: Joseph Kirk Music: Kristofer Tanke Thanks for listening & cheers to Reclaiming Your Hue!

As for baseball, their timeline stretches back to 1857, when citizens from the town of Nininger, establish the first baseball team in state history. Soon after the conclusion of the American Civil War, various teams begin to sprout up in the Land Of 10,000 Lakes, most notably in Minneapolis-St. Paul, as well as many outlier towns like Red Wing, Fairbault, Minnehaha, St. Croix and Hastings, riding the wave of the young sport's growth and popularity. 160 years later, the region's baseball history continues to be written by the Minnesota Twins, who bring the Major League brand to the state in 1961, after Calvin Griffith and the Washington Senators relocate to the Twin-Cities. I also present the history and construction of their current Home ballpark. Target Field, which stands as a testament to the Twins vision of providing a cathedral, that is not only on the cutting edge of baseball stadium aesthetics and functionality, but also for sustainable practices. Demonstrating a commitment to enviromental responsibility, and providing an inspiration to the Twins fans, to be champions for the very planet that sustains us all. #NinningerNine #NorthStarBaseBallClub #IgnatiusDonnelly #CaptainRolinOllin #VermillionClubOfHastings #MinneapolisNine #RedWingCrescentClub #SaxonNine #OlympicNine #BanJohnson #CharlesComiskey #LexingtonPark #AthleticPark #NicolletPark #MetropolitanStadium #HubertHumphreyMetroDome #TargetField #RodCarew #HarmonKillebrew #MudcatGrant #TonyOliva #LymonBostick #KentHrbek #KirbyPucket #JoeMauer #MikeKelly
