Good to know.
The South Dakota Highway Patrol didn’t visit Brookings for a saturation patrol that had been announced in advance by the city’s leadership. Troopers went to Winner and Sturgis for the ninth set of patrols undertaken as part of Gov. Larry Rhoden’s #OperationPrairieThunder.

Made my first visit to a little free library. 📚 Weird it took me so long. Dropped off some zines including @sdvfpeace.bsky.social Know Your Rights zine as our city was targeted for ICE-inspired Operation Prairie Thunder last week. #nohumanisillegal #migrationisbeautiful

People keep talking about women after like 40 just being done with cishet men’s drama like women live in a vacuum. Let’s present Irritable Male Syndrome cuz the cishet white patriarchy and supremacy apparently wasn’t enough to deal with. www.huffpost.com/entry/irrita...
Irritable Male Syndrome (IMS) Is An Actual Condition — And It Could Explain A Lot
While not a clinical diagnosis, experts say it’s an accurate description of a cluster of symptoms that often appears in aging men.

Since Inauguration Day, more than 1.5 million #immigrants have either lost or will lose their temporary legal status, including their work authorizations and deportation protections, due to President Donald Trump’s aggressive revocation of legal immigration.

Mass deportations don’t protect working people—they weaken labor standards, silence organizing and empower bad employers.

So, this happened this week. No large and flashy arrests were attempted that we know of, however, much speculation in Brookings that Noel’s pet OPT goons in her home state show up later.

Brookings residents question Operation Prairie Thunder
Some residents are asking why the Governor's declared anti-crime task force has chosen Brookings and what criteria are being used to select the communities being focused on.

In South Minneapolis, Minnesota, nearly two dozen neighbors confronted and surrounded ICE goons after rapid-response alerts were issued. The goons were questioning an East African man when the situation escalated, and they eventually left the area without making any arrests.
