More than 500 U.S. citizens have been detained by ICE, according to ProPublica. 70% of ICE detainees have no criminal conviction. Trump’s promise to go after the “worst of the worst” was always a lie. It was always a pretext to terrorize Black and brown communities. Remember this.

IMO, more people know Mark Twain than Mark Hamill but more people probably know Luke Skywalker than Mark Twain. I’m not sure how central Twain is to school curriculums outside of the U.S.

The only other time the US was so definitively beaten in a war was in Vietnam and that took a decade. America has been brought to its knees in Iran in a little over five months. Just a complete and total strategic defeat and not enough people are acknowledging it. bsky.app/profile/nyti...

HCSD was remarkably and unconscionably helpful to ICE occupiers in the midst of Operation Metro Surge. I am glad Witt's seeming inclined to stand firm against this threat, but the situation should certainly be a lesson to anyone who thinks that they can protect themselves by cooperating w/ fascism.

So, this quote is from me and, after we both sensed the reporter didn't like my full answer, I literally joked with my partner that this would be the only part he'd use! 😂 The reporter was stopping folks walking down Hennepin in front of Reign Saturday. The full context of my statement: 1/5

Even with these new security measures, would people still have safety concerns in the neighborhood?

“In general, I feel safe,” says Heather, who didn’t want her last name used in this story. “I don’t walk around the city much after dark anywhere. Just I think being a woman, that’s one of the things you’re taught.”

News organizations should periodically stop and look in the mirror and ask themselves “Have we internalized copspeak to the point that our headlines indistinguishable from police department email subject lines?”

Both movies are worse than Empire, but I at least understand why Revenge of the Sith has a cult following. For my money, Attack of the Clones is the worst live action Star Wars movie and it’s not particularly close.

Sounds like Team On-Time to me! (My wife agrees with you and “wins” this argument when we travel together.)

I reject this framing from team ETTA. The conflict with my wife is that she wants to be at the gate two hours before boarding, and I’d like to be there 15 minutes early. So we’re both technically Team Early To The Airport even if she’d consider me team LTTA.

This franchise has been scrappy and out-hustling their projections for over a decade now. The only outcome that would actually surprise me at this point is if they lost 90 games.

At MPR/APM, Jean Taylor makes 669k. Duchesne Drew makes 389k. So when you hear a $1 million pledge drive goal, that's just to pay those two executives. We haven't even talked about Kai Rysdall's $628,000 compensation.

MPR is no longer a good steward of member donations and estate bequeaths. It keeps chopping the quality locally produced content that these are intended to support, while increasing executive salaries to unprecedented levels. They are not making a good case for continued funding by CPB.
