This is a good reminder that some "voluntary" departures people sign while detained by ICE are the product of coercion. The worst incidents I've heard of over the years involve agents grabbing a person's hands and forcing them to sign a piece of paper they can't read; it's a "voluntary" removal.

ICE wants to reopen Appleton’s failed private prison as a 1,600-bed detention center. CURE’s Andy Pearson and Misty Butler push back in a new Daily Yonder article: this isn’t inevitable. Appleton deserves a real say. #AppletonMN #NoICEDetention

100% guarantee this tech will be used on peaceful protestors or innocent bystanders long before it ever deters active shooters

regardless of what you think of Ron Latz, this is ridiculous.

Police arrested a teacher for clapping during a city council meeting last week. They went to the meeting of Emporia, Kansas City Commission to speak out against a proposed hyperscale data center that would sit on 1,000 acres of rural land. @mjgault.bsky.social reports www.404media.co/person-oppos...

$31 million in police overtime for police to stand around (often times stand down from home on call) while we stood up to the feds alone and put our bodies on the line - it is unconscionable. The lack of leadership from the mayor astonishing.

bruh, you cannot, must not look away when they trying to sell you $31 million in police overtime (to an already bloated $230 million budget), sell you a "mysterious" $30 mil budget deficit and need for you to pony up more cash. You should be outraged. You should demand better.

Oh, and Donald Trump is getting hundreds of millions of dollars in bribes through his crypto businesses from the Emiratis so we'll send them computer chips and even more weapons to keep the genocide going.

Today's daily reminder that the UAE is currently engaged in a genocide in Sudan using weapons they receive from the US and money they receive from our tourism dollars, and every celebrity who lives or vacations in Dubai or Abu Dhabi is knowingly funding it.

I'm just boggled that Americans tend to guess that 25% of the country is Jewish and 20% is Muslim. NYC, the most Jewish city in the country, is about 10% Jewish. Minneapolis is about 10% Muslim.

This is another brazen attempt by the occupant of the White House to attack and whitewash American history. This is fascism, plain and simple.

JUST IN: Kalshi has won a federal court ruling to block a Minnesota law from taking effect that would have banned prediction markets in the state. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Jesus fucking Christ.

When you #VoteEarlyForPeggy at 980 E Hennepin, where *all Minneapolis voters* can fill out their ballots, staff will guide you in the parking lot, at the door, and at a long bank of tables. It’s on the 4, 25, and 61 bus routes. Open 8-6. You vote just like on Election Day, and feed your ballot in.

There's a lot of conservative excitement about this new 'study'—the right-wing rags are already all over it. Please know it's published in an anti-abortion journal by anti-abortion authors—including a concierge-medicine doctor who does body contouring and sells “anti-aging” supplements. 🤡

update from yvette hoffman, senator hoffman’s wife, on threads today:

It’s the latest case that has unraveled for the U.S. attorney’s office in L.A., where federal prosecutors have aggressively charged protesters with assaulting and impeding the actions of immigration agents, filing more than 100 cases. By @brittnymejia.bsky.social www.latimes.com/california/s...

On the plus side, Costco is currently selling 2-pack Taylor Farms bagged salad kits for 97 cents. Sure you're playing Russian roulette with your intestinal tract, but groceries are expensive these days...

I'm so overwhelmed that I declared bankruptcy on my part of a group project today. Luckily I'm working on the project with a bunch of clergy, one of whom kindly gave me dispensation from the assignment and permission not to feel guilty about it. Highly recommend getting cool clergy friends.

Glad the WaPo pursued this. What happened is chilling for any parent and gay ones in particular
