Dad torn from his child while she’s dying. What heartbreak. Mother sitting vigil those last days alone. What cruelty.

Think for this regime and it’s followers, it would depend on the Americans rounded up.

Electioneering prohibited within 100 feet from any entrance to polling place. Threatening behavior also prohibited within that 100 feet so should preclude ICE... Don’t know how lines out the door affects this. Spirit of law would be no electioneering or threats by people in lines.

Police-like presence at voting sites would reduce turnout.

In my state talking politics is disallowed near the polls, with good reason. But having a gathering elsewhere then going as a group to vote could really help allay fears! Could answer questions, demystify process, make sure people are registered and at right polling place… there are more of us.

I don’t even use elevators, feel they’re for people who can’t climb; can’t imagine EVER wanting something to throw my feet forward! Moving ever closer to WALL-E world.

There is pressure to change vehicle safety ratings to also account for pedestrian safety, as is done in EU. Currently they only look at occupant safety so more people die. But yes, change too slow.

This was my sons idea and I think it is brilliant. He studies traffic extensively, for fun…

In my state that would remove a significant portion of drivers, they’d still drive unlicensed. If DWI in high profile vehicle, $10k fine, that would encourage drunks into smaller cars and make everyone safer. After DWI no high-profile vehicle for 10 years or lose it, plus different colored license.

Lol, jerks ride everything, like the rest of us. My state doesn’t allow e-bike speeds over I think it’s 20-mph. Agree that faster e-bikes need tighter regs, should be disallowed on bike paths, street only, probably with license.

You might take it seriously when someone you loves ends up in the ER. Some on e-bikes have rarely ridden a bike, don’t understand the power of some of these e-bikes. The good, people are out β€˜riding’. But helpful if they understand the danger they put themselves and others in if they’re inattentive.

Taller vehicles are more dangerous to pedestrians, even at low speeds, research finds A study by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety shows higher speeds are worse for pedestrians regardless of vehicle height β€” but those risks are amplified for vehicles with taller front ends.

Yes, that’s studied too. eg., taller vehicles more deadly. Think people with DWIs should be banned from driving higher profile vehicles, graduated licenses. If caught driving one, forfeited.

Yes. US kills parents, relatives adopt child. American couple lie to US judge who then helps them abduct the child. Another arm of the US govt had ALREADY ruled the Americans could NOT adopt her as she was with family… Int’l incident. American couple demented. Poor kid.

Electric Bicycle Safety and Injury Prevention Electric bicycles are gaining popularity, but they are also linked to an increase in injuries among children and adolescents.

Think everyone knows people injured on e-bikes, from either riding or being hit by them. They aren’t assholes, mostly just normal e-bike users and the unsuspecting public.

Everyone has different strengths which will affect their MODE of resistance. That said, Klobucharβ€˜s response seems less than β€œMinnesota Strong”… She doesn’t seem to get that she has to LEAD moderates away from the abyss.

Is there a graph of median wage growth? Average wage seems kind of meaningless when wages of some are so very high…

Hope he has a good lawyer. Six months in jail for
”attackingβ€œ someone with a β€œcloth hat” is beyond ridiculous. Criminal.

But detention facilities run by for-profit companies, so our tax dollars are now being funneled to millionaires. That’s the point.

ICE attorney to judge: β€˜This job sucks’ A federal judge admonished DHS for repeatedly defying court orders to release detainees, as government lawyers described widespread noncompliance during Minnesota’s immigration crackdown. On Wednesday...

Racist retirees aren’t effected by loss of jobs. Until it affects their investments or healthcare (or they grow a conscience) they’re fine with this. Sigh…

WSJ did an article about how an ungodly percent of consumption is done by the top 10%, maybe 60%… they couched it as the top 10% carrying the economy (rather than consuming more than their share). They may be planning on doing without the bottom 75% of consumers. Rich around the world uniting.

Everyone finding a way to use their skill set, working hotlines, documenting abductions, towing cars back to families, feeding people, tracking flights... proud of Minnesotan creativity, community, initiative, strength. Find partners to tap in so you can re-energize. A marathon not a sprint…

If β€˜looking hot naked’ is the only value she has, no intellect, no compassion, no skill, think that’s a critique. With the capacity to do good in the world, she takes off her clothes, puts on makeup, a set piece. If her skill is, β€œshe got a rich husband”, well, look at the spoils…

Pursued by federal agents, suburban ICE observers remain resolved After a frightening pursuit by federal agents, suburban ICE observers say fear hasn’t stopped them from protecting their communities.

"It's more soccer moms than hardcore activists, they said. But the challenging conditions have brought them closer together. After knowing each other for just weeks, they feel like they’d give their lives to protect one another if necessary..."
