This is the kind of shit that would make you completely outside the bounds of any ancient society, the gods bestow generational curses for violating hospitality
A few days ago, Fox News was whining about ICE agents getting heckled at a Mexican restaurant in Minneapolis.
Meanwhile, in the town of Willmar, ICE agents had lunch at a Mexican restaurant, waited until it closed, then confronted and arrested three workers as they left.

There was a Minnesota flag in Oakland, too. Its recent redesign felt especially poignant tonight.
San Francisco says Abolish ICE!✊
Large protest took place outside the ICE building tonight on Sansome Street downtown, growing to hundreds of people, followed by a march.
Among the signs, a Minnesota flag.
Indivisible, DSA, unions, and other groups were there. Organize at is.gd/bayareahatesice

You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today.
This could be you.

If you want to open a small parklet in front of your coffee shop in Oakland it’s about $17000 your first year and $1800 in fees every year afterward.
If you want to use a whole bike lane to illegally park cars waiting for service it is apparently $0 and 0 cents because this is happening all over.

NEW: Approximately 1hr after I submitted an inquiry to Richmond Police Department asking if the city's Flock Safety ALPR data had been shared with/accessed by feds, a spokesperson issued a statement acknowledging an ATF "analyst" in June "had made queries for immigration enforcement." Full release:
![Facts and details:
The ATF analyst requested access to the RPD license plate reader program on
February 7, 2025, to “assist our agents and TFOs [Task Force Officers] with
investigations in and around Richmond.”
At that time of their request, the ATF was not actively involved with immigration
enforcement.
The RPD administrator of the program granted access to the ATF analyst.
The RPD administrator of the program has since separated from the department.
In March 2025, the mission of the ATF changed to include immigration enforcement.
In early March, four detainees from an ICE detention facility in Farmville, Virginia
escaped. In the effort to assist the investigation, the ATF analyst made numerous
inquiries to RPD’s license plate reader program in an effort to apprehend the
escapees.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:7keeiuhmqfxim42c6tibwvzw/bafkreihhx5n2wbr25u5wanaadiofvolpgi5iudw4gp4ryb4uh5bhs6fa2m@jpeg)

Trump and Republicans in Congress are trying to pull off one of the biggest heists in U.S. history.
The so-called “Big Beautiful Bill” is robbery, plain and simple.
And it’s being committed by the billionaire class and the politicians they put into office.

Comment of the night goes to Mily, a young renter who says she was priced out of the city.
She uses the rest of her time to cite things that took less time than this rezoning, including:
- The Civil War
- WWI
- US involvement in WW2
- Construction of the Bay Bridge
- The dot com bubble

NIH is crucial for life saving research and such a minuscule amount of money for the US Government
The centi-billionaire class are not reducing US spending though, they are dismantling the entire concept of public services and democratically controlled funding so US society is subservient to them

98% of NIH grants that should have gone out this month, didn't. Despite court orders 'unfreezing' the funds, they are frozen. Biomedical research will grind to a halt. Clinical trials will end. All for no reason: the total impact on the US budget is miniscule
