Video: A City on Edge: Protesters Clash in Minneapolis Jake Lang, a prominent right-wing activist, held a small pro-ICE rally in Minneapolis on Saturday. Within minutes, counterprotesters closed in and the confrontation turned violent.

Shot this for the NYT Saturday as right-wing activist Jake Lang came to town and was quickly swarmed by protesters. Chaotic, at times dangerous. Grateful for the Times’ focus on reporter (and freelancer) safety. Minneapolis right now is heavy with fear, especially if your skin isn't white.

it is lame to go after someone here rather than just talk to her or the airline. what is doubly lame is to do it as vehicle to alert everyone u were in first class.

are you saying you'd for sure get the meaning correct on the 8th guess? or more of a rough estimate and it could be the 10th or even 20th? this headline hurts my brain. i'd need at least 25 guesses at the meaning.
