My group was able to recover a spent canister from a green smoke grenade in Minneapolis. We now confirm with physical evidence that it was a green signaling grenade.
Please don't spread rumors about hexachloroethane or nerve agents.

If you live in the Cities, an easy way to help immigrant families in hiding is: laundry! Laundromats are ICE magnets, so people without washers need help.

Just so people outside of MN know - a lot of the US citizens getting “arrested” by ICE never get processed at Whipple. They are roughed up during the arrest and then often dropped off miles from where they were picked up. It means we don’t know the true scale of what ICE is doing based on ICE stats

It’s wild how much media attention this has gotten when the confidence interval is so large. You might as well just say ‘we don’t know anything and we’re looking into it’ if the range is somewhere between .5x and 10x!

Libertarianism as americans use it is inherently contradictory, so if libertarians took their own values seriously they would be anarcists.
It's telling that the GOP is able to take libertarians for granted as supporters. Sure sign of how libertarians don't take their own damn values seriously and are so ready to compromise on them.

New: CBS News seems to be preparing a new segment called "Whiskey Fridays with Tony Dokoupil," per sources.
Some staff were only first made aware of it as they encountered CBS testing out set designs of a faux-stocked bar in the newsroom, featuring a large sponsor banner for Jack Daniels.
