There is NOTHING ‘America First’ about selling out some of our most pristine waters so a Chilean mining company can come in, take our minerals, ship them to China for processing, then sell them off.
All while polluting the Boundary Waters in the process.

If you’re involved in the Minneapolis resistance movement (or even if you’re not), you should probably opt out of the major data brokers. By Minnesota law they must honor your requests to opt out, and it makes it harder to track you.

How much longer before the rest of the country starts to wonder if ICE, with it‘s “Metro Surge,” simply is simply too incompetent to achieve its mission, in Minnesota and everywhere else?

This is one hell of a hard nosed bullshit free article by the NYT. It feels like an editor slipped in the word anomalies, but other than that it’s tough & honest, & how news outlets should write about Trump & his racist administration.

Some people say it isn't cool to like Pizza Luce pizza anymore, but they're still my favorite, and also this top-down ethnic cleansing campaign in Minnesota is abhorrent and it would be great if it could be stopped somehow.
From FB regarding Pizza Luce in Minnesota.
I like it when I can do something to help people displaced by ICE and then after I do that thing I get to eat a pizza.

This is your regular reminder that the data broker industry must be destroyed.
2. ICE is buying your private location data from sleazy data brokers through a legal loophole. I've had a bill to stop this since 2021. I'm renewing my push to get it passed into black letter law as soon as possible.
