Oglala Sioux Tribe has revealed that federal officials told tribe they'd provide info on the detained members' whereabouts only if the tribe entered into an immigration agreement. The tribe rejected terms and is warning feds of legal consequences for unlawful detention, treaty violations, etc

Oglala Sioux Tribe demands release of tribal members in ICE custody - Buffalo’s Fire OST president warns federal officials of legal consequences for treaty violations, unlawful detention and deprivation of civil rights

Minnesota Lt. Gov Peggy Flanagan told our reporter ICE is racially profiling Native Americans and needs to get out of Minneapolis. She calls the detention of four Oglala Sioux Tribe members "outrageous and unacceptable." @buffalosfire.bsky.social

Studies have shown a link between abusive practices in policing & PTSD. PTSD affects the brain’s function & structure. It can impair decision-making and lead to a heightened anticipatory stress response. Officers with untreated mental-health injuries are a known risk to the public. (2/2)

I’m a journalist who has written about policing & PTSD, so when I read that the ICE officer who killed Renee Good previously had been injured on the job, I wondered if ICE had required him to be evaluated for PTSD afterward to make sure he was fit for duty. (1/2)

The IP List Highlights Journalism That’s Worthy of Film Adaptations The inaugural IP List reveals articles that deserve to be made into films.

I do not know if that's the person I spoke with. But the number I called is the same number that was associated with Avi Silverberg on the site FeastGood.

Male powerlifter enters women’s event, breaks record Avi Silverberg, the head coach for Team Canada Powerlifting for more than 10 years entered Saturday’s Heroes Classic tournament in Lethbridge, Alberta, after identifying as a female.

Curiously, his phone number is linked to Avi Silverberg, a powerlifter who has a background in digital media and was featured in this NY Post story: nypost.com/2023/03/30/m...

He wouldn't tell me his last name but says his community knows who he is. He told me Bow Valley Insider operates without investors or govt subsidies and is funded mostly by advertisers. He said his background is in digital marketing and media.

Well, that was a long conversation. Need to pick up my kid. More later.

I'm on the phone with the guy as I type

A reverse google image search of the Ben S. photo on the site turns up...nothing.

The crowd is calling Trump a “jagoff,” which when I was growing up in Pittsburgh was just about the worst kind of insult.

Brickyard Blues - Chicago Reader Numbed by cold, pelted by rain, enduring smashed fingers and toes, poorly paid brick salvagers keep coming back for more.

My summer archives tour of alt-weekly literary journalism, aka immersion journalism, aka reported longform narrative, 1970s-2001, continues with this astonishment--14,000 unstoppable words from 1999 about brick scavengers by @torimarlan.bsky.social chicagoreader.com/news/brickya...

Thanks, Jeff! That was one of my all time favorite stories to work on. I hope you do put together an alt-weekly stories anthology—I’d love to read it.

Tsunami advisory canceled for BC

Did she really?

Omg.

I understand that. What I’m saying is that if he didn’t know where the couple worked, then he killed them because they were Jewish or because they were at a Jewish museum.

Unless there’s some evidence he targeted them because of their connection to the embassy.

But the question is about whether his actions were antisemitic. Regardless of what his manifesto said, it appears he shot Jews on American streets because they were Jewish (and/or leaving a Jewish museum).

They were killed leaving a Jewish museum, not the Israeli embassy -- that's likely why there are claims of antisemitism. Have you seen reporting that shooter targeted them or knew they worked for the embassy?

Reminder that words matter. You can’t “deport” a US citizen. You might be kidnapping, disappearing, exiling, expelling, illegally removing, etc., but you’re not “deporting” a US citizen.

Good morning from the campaign trail here on the west coast!

Today I’ll be catching up with Green leader Elizabeth May & spending time in her riding. Then tonight I’m hoping to catch up with Jagmeet Singh and NDP MP Laurel Collins in Victoria.
