I’m still processing this 2 days later. I was sitting in a kayak when this baby beluga decided to play with me. Other whales joined in and you can see what happened next. What isn’t on camera is that one then started pushing me around the river for five-ish minutes. It was an unforgettable moment.

Upwards of 200,00 people may have lost their jobs today; or will in the upcoming days. There is a palpable sense of fear among the Haitian community right now. They need your support.

I wondered about that too! I feel like back in school this was flagged as his story here not necessarily being true and accurate. He’s a liar telling a fantastic tale with the goal of earning guest gifts and help to get home, so how much happened as he said?

I remember this insane story from a few years ago. Ebay employees trying to shut down this couple's little newsletter that was criticizing the company went completely batshit: sending them live spiders, posting ads for sex parties at their address, tailing their car, sending them death threats.

I pulled out my Emily Wilson with the film version of Helen was top of mind, but I noticed that she does say that but: 1) she needed strong drugs before talking about it and 2) Menelaus *immediately* responds with a story of being in the horse that casts Helen as actively aiding the Trojan side

He died at Irwin, the detention center made notorious by allegations of unwanted gynecological procedures, and that Biden had shut down. Trump reopened it. Now it’s the site of yet another death in ICE detention following claims of medical neglect.

While local cops are turning in residents for Trump’s ethnic cleansing program, law enforcement in the Twin Cities has also become openly hostile to legal observers of ICE. Here’s some new reporting from me about that.

Minnesota cops help ICE work in secret

With the reduction of federal forces in Minnesota, local cops are now protecting the feds as Trump loyalists go about their kidnapping duties in the state.

Every photo from Minneapolis looks like this. Cops decked out with guns and full tac gear facing off against people in bathrobes, parkas, and sweatpants armed only with whistles and cell phones. Yet every verified MAGA chode on X dutifully calls it a riot or violent insurrection.
