There's a prison revolt at a concentration camp in Texas in solidarity with Minneapolis:
21 minutes ago Jazmine Ulloa Hundreds of immigrant mothers and children detained at a South Texas facility on Saturday protested the killing of a 37-year-old man in Minneapolis, chanting "Let me out" and "Libertad," or "Liberty," according to an immigration lawyer who witnessed the demonstration. Eric Lee, the lawyer, said he had been waiting for his client in the visitation area of the family detention center in Dilley, Tex., when detention officials abruptly asked him to leave. Once outside, he peered through a chain-link fence and saw hundreds of women and children walking out of the facility and chanting in protest. Lee said his client later told him on the phone that he and other detainees were outraged over the latest killing in Minneapolis and the detention of Liam Conejo Ramos, the 5-year-old boy from Ecuador detained with his father in Minneapolis and sent to Texas.

Thinking again about how @brendancbyrne.bsky.social and I wrote a novella in 2019 about an AI-driven truth and reconciliation process in a post-civil insurrection USA and how the process merely papers over the country's massive fault lines...really thought we were going over the top there, damn

Sorry to quote but can’t reply to thread. Worth noting that MPD implemented many of the latest police reform trainings before George Floyd. It was considered one of the better run reform departments. I don’t think the level of training analytically distinguishes policing from other state violence

A department that was taken over because of its many failings at policing, including that murder, for which the officer was convicted.

My neighbor told me today that her six year old checks every day that their mom, a citizen and daughter of naturalized refugees, is leaving the house with her passport in case ICE tries to take her

Then I opened my phone and saw news of another death squad execution in MN

It's just so wild to me that ProPublica gets funding from big philanthropies that fund work on AI and labor and at the same time management is so casually refusing to engage with the union on this issue...feel like someone should tell their program officers idk
propublicaguild.org ProPublica Guild @propublicaguild.org · 3d
4/ And, when we proposed that workers will not be laid off as a result of AI and that potential future work generated by AI must be clearly labeled, management said “no” to both proposals. Their offer to write AI guidelines without staff input isn’t close to enough.

MN's AG: “We will not save our country in a courtroom. ... ultimately, this country will be saved by the people of the United States. And so that — you protesting, you gathering evidence, you sharing it with us, you communicating with us — is action. It’s actually how we’re going to win.”

I wasn't sure what to expect from a group of Democratic state AGs, but I definitely was not expecting a long monologue about Ruby Ridge and the Boston Massacre www.theverge.com/policy/86588...
Just before the town hall, a reporter asked Ellison about the difficulty states faced in prosecuting federal agents like the ICE agent who shot Renee Good. “The idea that they’re absolutely immune is a misstatement of the law, and it is a dangerous misstatement of the law, because I don’t want any ICE agent or Border Patrol agent or any agent to think that they can just kill people and then that’s it,” Ellison told the group of reporters. Then he asked rhetorically: “What about Ruby Ridge? You ever heard of that one?” Years after an FBI sniper shot Vicki Weaver at Ruby Ridge, the state of Idaho prosecuted the federal agent. The federal government went to bat for the agent, claiming that he was immune under the Supremacy Clause of the Constitution. The Ninth Circuit ruled that Idaho was allowed to prosecute the sniper — similarly, Minnesota is also entitled to investigate and potentially prosecute the officer who shot Renee Good. But a different example loomed larger in Ellison’s mind: the Boston Massacre of 1770, where British soldiers shot into a crowd, ultimately killing five people. “It’s not exactly analogous, but we are talking about local authorities in Boston, prosecuting imperial agents of the colonial power, the central government, in England. And they were prosecuted. Two of them were convicted. John Adams actually represented a few of the imperial officers.” The Boston Massacre, said Ellison, was obviously “in the mind of the framers of the Constitution” at the time the document was written. “They were thinking about this event, and they would have never conceded the state’s authority to prosecute a federal officer,” said Ellison, going on to add, “The states of the United States pre-date the United States. It is federal courts that are limited. Not state courts. State courts have plenary power.” He finished with a dramatic flourish: “It’s true that the feds are denying us access to the investigative file. It’s also true that there’s no statute of limitations on murder.”

Are there any examples of places demanding/getting bigger concessions from data center developments beyond baseline $ or jobs? Like if companies are trenching new fiber for their building why not require the company to also lay the groundwork for a municipal fiber build-out. Is this a thing?
