The Washington Post's description of the bodycam video of his arrest last year, and the translation of Mr. Shah Alam's comments, is gutting. Remember, he was entirely blind in one eye and could only see three feet in the other, and he spoke virtually no English.

He spent a year in jail for this.

Someone was abducted in St Anthony this morning at 6 AM near 29th Ave & Silver Lake Road. And then at 8 AM we saw at least 5 agents out of their vehicles at 26th & Jackson near Walgreens before they dispersed into the neighborhood.

This isn’t over. We still need people keeping watch & staying safe.

Trite but true: If you ever wondered how German’s reacted to the whittling away of rights for Jews, Roma, gays and lesbians . . . you’re watching it happen in real time.

911 calls capture kids burning with fever, struggling to breathe at ICE detention center EMS crews were called to the Dilley Immigration Processing Center in Texas at least 11 times since September for children in medical distress, records show.

NEW: We obtained 911 audio from the Texas detention center housing hundreds of immigrant kids and their parents.

Since mid-September, EMS crews have been dispatched to Dilley at least 11 times to treat children in medical distress.

Burning fevers. Low oxygen. Seizures. A broken leg.

Catholic bishops push for end to ‘immoral’ birthright citizenship order at Supreme Court The Catholic-majority Supreme Court gets spiritual and legal advice from bishops ahead of showdown on birthright citizenship.

I like to refer to St Paul as Ward 14.

Remember Lina Khan? SIGH.

Yeah, but Richfield has my new favorite grocery store.

Because the government doesn’t believe their gender identity exists. So scary.

This implies we all got cool jackets from another suburb already. What did I miss? I’m a big Columbia Heights fan, but I left my heart in Richfield.

One family is about to control CBS, CNN, HBO, and TikTok. They’ll buy Warner Brothers with $24 billion from Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Abu Dhabi. To win over Trump, they canceled Colbert, blocked a 60 Minutes CECOT investigation, and blocked Talarico. Much more will follow. Block this rotten deal.

if you don’t want to accidentally dogwhistle or be confused for dogwhistling, it’s safest to stick to using gentile if you are not Jewish.

Ana knows what she’s doing though, it’s not a case of mistakenly dogwhistling

If you aren’t Jewish and don’t get how this is antisemitic, I’ll do a short TLDR;

Jews sometimes refer to gentiles as goy or goyim. That’s not a slur, even if it’s derogatory.

If you’re a gentile saying it, specifically self-deferentially or defiantly , it’s a guaranteed Nazi dogwhistle.

People are always like what’s something you miss from the past and one of mine is antitrust laws

Netflix ditches deal for Warner Bros. Discovery after Paramount’s offer is deemed superior Netflix is ditching a deal to buy Warner Bros. Discovery's studio and streaming assets after the WBD board deemed a revised bid by Paramount to be superior.

This really feels like an Orban/Erdogan situation in which the aspiring dictator is making sure his friendly oligarchs control as much media as possible

Community members are asking for more support in the Phillips neighborhoods. It would be appreciated if the community could patrol and observe the illegal actions committed by ICE. There are fewer observers out today than the usual support.

Trump, seeking executive power over elections, is urged to declare emergency Activists who say they are in coordination with the White House are circulating a draft executive order that would unlock extraordinary presidential power over voting.

Breaking WaPo:

Pro-Trump activists who say they are in coordination with the White House are circulating a 17-page draft executive order that claims China interfered in the 2020 election as a basis to declare a national emergency that would unlock extraordinary presidential power over voting.

Nate’s right, and it applies to the whole business community and their supplicant business press. The administration is trying to extinguish our economy and they’re silent or punching left or straining to both-sides a cataclysm. (Thanks to the small biz folk who’ve been so brave.)

historical detail I can't help but bring up: by some accounts, the event that instigated the British soldiers to open fire on Crispus Attacks and the rest of the crowd in the Boston Massacre was a soldier being hit by a snowball

American Psychological Association Reaffirms Support For Trans Youth Care, Pushes Back Against NYT A recent article from Jesse Singal in the New York Times seemed to indicate the organization might be quietly retreating from supporting trans youth care.

There are also 3 players from other states but who play for the MN Wild who accepted the invite. For shame.

Another way to look at it: 4 of the 5 Minnesotans on the team turned down the invite from Trump. Good.
