There is one gas station chain here that also has a few flavors. But no strawberry and no Rock ‘n Rye. They know not what they do! I used to fill my car with them on road trips back home. But I don’t get back to MI anymore.

I need strawberry and rock and rye. And I can’t get it here!

Noooooooooo

A thread:

For the first time since Jan. 5, there were no ICE flights out of Minneapolis Friday, probably because of this ruling.

Four Oglala detainees located, three still in ICE custody - ICT The four Lakota detainees were reportedly sent to a former concentration camp used during the Dakota Wars

This is surreal. 4 Oglala Lakota men kidnapped by ICE in Minneapolis have finally been located. One of them was released but the other 3 are being held at Fort Snelling, a former concentration camp used to imprison Native people incl. the Dakota 38 during Dakota Wars.

Trump’s Slash-and-Burn Economy Is Devastating Black Women His administration is hitting them with “discriminate harm.”

“Black women lost 319,000 jobs in both the private and public sectors, driven largely by mass layoffs in education, healthcare, and housing. During that same period, white women gained 142,000 jobs, Hispanic women 176,000 jobs, and white men—wait for it!—picked up 365,000 jobs.”

Exactly. My response to that headline is “so fucking what”.

This is 10th-grader Arnoldo Bazan.

A citizen.

Immigration agents grabbed him and put him in a chokehold.

"We're from the United States bro!' he screamed.

Agents took and sold his phone

And when he finally got home hours later, his shirt was ripped, he neck had angry, red welts, and he sobbed.

There is a longer version of the video of a kidnapping of this kid - there really is no other word for it - here. As he is being shoved into the DHS vehicle he breaks down. At about the 2 minute mark you hear a DHS agent say "wow - fucking child" sarcastically.

it’s worth noting that there is absolutely nothing illegal about driving on public roads

Rep. Angie Craig: "We were told because this facility is being funding by the 'Big Beautiful Bill,' not the congressional appropriations act, that we would not be allowed to enter the facility. That's complete nonsense ... I informed them they were violating the law. They said they didn't care."
