Saint Paul schools will be closed Tuesday and Wednesday to prepare for optional online learning.

I’ve seen schools close for snow, for pandemic, for natural disaster. I’ve never seen schools close because of threat from our own government.

This is surreal. 4 Oglala Lakota men kidnapped by ICE in Minneapolis have finally been located. One of them was released but the other 3 are being held at Fort Snelling, a former concentration camp used to imprison Native people incl. the Dakota 38 during Dakota Wars.

Craig: "In my district, 2 days ago a special ed teacher pulled into her school parking lot, her windows were smashed, she was taken & detained for 12 hours. I've never seen such an out of control agency. That's why as soon as I leave, I'm joining a group to file articles of impeachment against Noem"

Walz: "What's happening in MN defies belief. News reports simply don't do justice to the level of chaos & disruption & trauma the federal govt is raining down... This long ago stopped being a matter of immigration enforcement. Instead, it's a campaign of organized brutality against the people of MN"

ICE is escalating more every day. This stops when the majority of the front line is white men. bsky.app/profile/dbur...
Non-protesting dad just trying to hustle his kids, as young as 6mo, out of the neighborhood. ICE threw a flash-bang INTO HIS car, all 6 kids in the hospital now.

If anyone wondered how things turn against occupying armies there's a case study playing out in front of you.

#MN. What can we do if he invokes the Insurrection Act?

Best we get prepared. NOW.

This was his goal all along - hence the escalation in previous protest hot spots.

Notice no crackdown in NY, where many of his friends live. 🤔

Trump is threatening to invoke the Insurrection Act this is a dangerous escalation.

hlHexachloroethane is a green gas banned by the geneva convention as an asphyxiation CNS depressant, but the trump administration argued that “foreign fake laws” don’t apply to US citizens and approved it for use on civilians in the US.

Please be aware and stay safe.

Patty, a woman observer in Minneapolis, was abducted from a car by federal agents today. She was released and talked about her experience in custody.

An agent said, "You guys gotta stop obstructing us. That's why that lesbian bitch is dead."

A growing body of research indicates that Texas's restrictive abortion bans have negatively impacted the health and lives of Texas women and babies in multiple ways. Across the board, pregnancy outcomes and complications have worsened.
What researchers have discovered about maternal, infant health under Texas' abortion laws
In the more than four years since the state of Texas significantly restricted access to abortion, medical researchers have been studying the health effects of that policy change.

I've been hate Reddit because I find great things on there, but then anytime I go on to a niche subreddit it's a 50/50 for gold or crud.

Tell me why on the #humanresouces sub comments are telling OP who is getting sexually harassed to "just tell him he's harassing you and to stop".

WOW. So this is obviously a huge violation of this man's rights, and it illustrates a few things we're seeing broadly:

- DHS officers are ignoring peoples' IDs and instead requiring screening through their own systems
- Confirms @404media.co's reports of use of DHS's facial recognition app.

#DisparateImpact is fun because people take offense that intent is not needed to prove it.

In the same way you didn't mean to kill someone in accidental manslaughter, but did intend to complete the actions that resulted in that death.

Times New Roman was selected as the "default" font due to its high readability on print. As most communications are now done virtually the eye is most easily able to understand Calibri.

Why do you think most word processors and email systems default to it now?
At least while we are screwing over our allies around the world we will be doing it in an anti-woke font.

Having a good faith discussion on the internet is difficult, because I want to debate the accuracy of a calculation and they "don't trust the government" and "oil oozes from a volcano deep in the earth" not from "that dinosaur myth".
