And the story is all about ICE agents either lying or no knowing about the law (or the one-way street)!

Watch this video for remarkable bravery and wisdom from Christina Nguyen and Naomi Rathke, and sloppy journalism from @kare11.bsky.social which repeated uncritically ICE's claim to the numbers arrested and charges without seeking evidence of crimes or asking how many were U.S. citizens.

🧵 Today, SEIU Local 26 joined Minnesotans from all walks of life to push back against ICE raids and private carriers taking part in ICE flights out of MSP—part of the ongoing tearing apart of families... (1/5) #DeICEFlights #HereToStay @seiu.org @isaiahmn.org @mn50501.bsky.social

Duluth schools briefly secured while mountain lion roamed east side neighborhoods The animal has been spotted all along the North Shore.

Oh nothing, just a lion shutting down schools in Duluth . . . Yes, a real lion.

That’s crazier than naming National Airport after the guy who fired the air traffic controllers!

Good lord

He probably already knew you were a charlatan.

Thanks to his new Tesla pay package, Elon Musk could stand to make $3 billion more per year than all 1.4 million elementary school teachers in the U.S. combined. Still wondering if inequality is out of control?

22 Heavy Rail riders? Is that the Empire Builder?

As someone who drove free buses (and rode free buses) in Iowa City for years: the quality of life improvement that comes from quality, accessible public transit cannot be overstated. I wish it for everyone, everywhere.

Iowa City Made Its Buses Free. Traffic Cleared, and So Did the Air.

Here's an idea, double parking fees (from $1 to $2), raise utility taxes by 1%, and make buses free. Iowa City did that and reduced traffic by 5,200 cars and emissions by 24,000 metric tons of co2/year.

True. She has grabbed power and used it poorly.

Not keen on all the unnamed sources, but the most interesting parts are a) if the U thinks they will win the PR battle, they are once again proven ally-less and b) biz community surprised that Ellison is effective shows their cartoon view of him was always wrong

Would another President be better? IMO, the problem is the concentration of power in admin, which means the people who care and know the most about the institution (staff and faculty) have no say in how it is organized and run.

Sorting through my memories of everything that happened on Tuesday, and reflecting on how some of the first phone calls I got and first people I saw onsite were union leaders in Saint Paul. I don’t know that unions ever get the credit they deserve for showing up for ALL workers, all the time.

Whatever, Donald "John" Trump.

These students put every editorial page in the nation to shame! I'm glad to hear Harvard listened to them. www.thecrimson.com/article/2025...

Leave my colleagues alone!

Truth

This gets to the core of so much of what is wrong at UMN: (and most other universities): “When the Board of Regents realized there was such a conflict, shouldn’t they have asked some physicians to stand before them and give their perspective?” Yannopoulos said.

How a small Chicago nonprofit is resisting Trump's war on DEI Since 1981, Chicago Women in Trades has worked to promote equity by getting more women into the construction trades. Now the nonprofit faces a different challenge: Trump's efforts to erase DEI.

It's very ironic that you can have a 'Brotherhood of Carpenters' which references brothers, but you can't have – because of DEI – a 'Sisters in the Brotherhood,'" says Kina McAfee, a retired union carpenter who is now on staff at Chicago Women in Trades.

AAUP TV — WEDS, NOV 19 @ 7 PM ET!

Opinion | Jamal Khashoggi: What the Arab world needs most is free expression The Arab world needs a modern version of the old transnational media so citizens can be informed about global events.

I will never forget having to edit Jamal’s final, posthumous piece for the Washington Post, after he was murdered.

He was calling for free expression in the Arab world. You can read it here :

“Among the employees threatening to strike is Victor Arreola, a line cook at Bottle Rocket. Arreola said he works two jobs and still struggles to support his family.

‘I never stop moving,’ he said.”
