Leon, a George W. Bush appointee famous for his use of the exclamation point, uncorks a few here, and drops in a Bob Dylan quote for good measure. He says Hegseth and the Pentagon have "trampled on Senator Kelly's First Amendment freedoms." ecf.dcd.uscourts.gov/cgi-bin/show...

So grateful to Theo for helping us shine a light on whatβs happening in the Twin Cities. Seeing how our community has stepped up makes me immeasurably proud to be a member of this team.
Itβs not a privilege I take for granted, and Iβm thankful every day to be surrounded by such fantastic people.

Definitely seeing/hearing a lot of anti-ICE sentiment in Eagan. I'd like to see a breakdown by 'burb.
New Strib poll confirms my rough guess: 1/3rd of Minnesotans are shitheads who support ICE, but 2/3rds are with us. 69% in the βburbs! (Abolish ICE, like Defund the Police, is a public-opinion loser. Still, 79% say ICE should abolished OR reformed.) www.startribune.com/poll-trumps-... (gift link) 1/

NEW: The F.D.A. refused to accept an application from Moderna for its mRNA flu vaccine.
Its reason: The agency did not think Moderna compared the new vaccine to one of the best flu shots available. The company spent $750M+ on a 41,000 person study.

Living in Minnesota right now feels like being in the emergency room. Literally everyone is suffering in different ways, even if it's "just" a badly twisted ankle rather than a kidney stone or a full-on heart attack. The staff are working as hard as they can but energy and resources are dwindling.

Like 75% of the US Olympic curlers are from Minnesota. A lot of them curl out of two clubs in Saint Paul, one club is in Frogtown, a neighborhood that has been very heavily targeted by ICE. These curlers are good neighbors.
US Olympic Curling Team member speaks out against ICE:
"I'm proud to represent Team USA. But we'd be remiss if we didn't mention what's going on in Minnesota and what a tough time it's been. What's happening is wrong. There's no shades of gray."

Iβm begging media to not use propaganda (βimmigration crackdownβ) as truth. Youβve interviewed the people here with authorization (green cards, work permits, asylum applications) and the citizens of color who have been targeted by ICE. You know itβs isnβt an βimmigration crackdown.β
Twin Cities home builders are falling behind schedule as the federal immigration crackdown in Minnesota has fueled a shortage of roofing, drywall and other construction workers, according to developers and real estate agents.

As immigrant workers move or stay home, a shortage of workers in the trades also is affecting the existing home market and rental owners.
