Cuni has been an ICE agent for a decade, so I don’t want to hear “poorly trained” again. ICE shootings and brutality are intentional acts of violence by experienced officers, not a result of poor training. #AbolishICE

Differences in housing policy post-Surge couldn't be more stark. Both councils passed a temporary 60-day notice requirement for nonpayment evictions. Minneapolis: the mayor vetoed and council centrists refused to override. On pace for record evictions. St. Paul passed it veto-proof. Down 15% YOY

Enormous skill issue. I would simply have made the precious baby comfortable in my home. Give churu.
In 2016, Paola Nogales-Ascarrunz, a biologist and National Geographic Explorer working in Bolivia, received a call from a local wildlife sanctuary that had just been given what they described as "a weird cat." It came from a local man who found it as a kitten on a road near a
forest. The man took the animal home, believing it to be a domestic breed. But after about a year of living with the clearly wild animal, he realized it would be better off at a sanctuary.

One of the more insidious phrasings I've seen with the Dems/trans rights discourse lately is the idea that trans people are being greedy and demanding a "maximalist" approach to trans rights. No, you cannot call the state of rights American trans people had as recently as 2023 "maximalist," sorry.

Anyway, here’s a section that will cut you to your core. Odds are 1-2% of the local Latino population has been deported & one community member thinks 25% have left.
“We lost a lot of our community,” said Rudy Trujillo, owner of accounting firm Trujillo Service at 420 E. Lake St., whose clients are mostly Latino immigrants.
He estimates that one in four Latinos left the Twin Cities, either by self-deportation or moving to another state.
No hard data is yet available. About 235,000 Hispanic people lived in the seven-county metro area in 2024, according to census data. The 5,000th detainee (most detainees were of Latin-American descent) was flown out of Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport in August, Minnesota Reformer reports.

Portrait of Andrea González-Ramírez
By Andrea González-Ramírez, a senior writer for The Cut who covers systems of power. Those physicals, Maria explains, are usually perfunctory: “Like, Are you walking normally? Are you lightheaded? I have never had to take any clothes off. I’ve never felt uncomfortable or violated.” If IL26-638 were to pass and Maria were still in school, she says she would likely drop out of her team. (We’re withholding Maria’s real name to protect her privacy.) “I honestly don’t know if I would be able to do these tests,” she adds. “It would also make me question, If I do it, are all my teammates going to too? Or would I just play with the three or four girls who are willing to or have access to do it?”

Oh, so those girls at the Seattle Storm game were being obnoxious the entire time trying to provoke people and filming the reactions for content. Of course.
​A screenshot of a text post on a dark background. The text reads in full:
​"I sat right in front of two of the women ‘supporting Sophie’ and a few rows behind all their daughters in the front row behind the basket. They all had anti-trans shirts on. Could hear them talking the whole game and they were desperate for a confrontation. Literally said at one point “oh I really hope someone says something to me” after she screamed as loud as she could every time Sophie touched the ball. At another point she said she’s never even been to a WNBA game.
​They were arguing with security through the entire game and made sure to record themselves every time, not sure what they were arguing with them about. And at the end of the game one of the girls said something to a guy, he responded and the girl started running at him through the aisles. The older women finally got what they wanted and ran over screaming with their phones out already recording.
​Also overheard them talking about how they strategically positioned themselves to get as much time on the Tv broadcast as possible and something about a podcast they are trying to drive people to."
