This is very well done.

(I like Mendoza as a prospect but the red flags are real.)

Crushing the mRNA industry in the US also probably destroys a bunch of cures for various cancers just as an FYI.

In terms of what cures are being lost:

- Epstein-Barr virus is perhaps the major trigger for multiple sclerosis
- herpes simplex virus causes cold sores, genital herpes, infections in babies, deadly meningitis
- shingles virus causes an intensely painful disease

Still around 100 community reports of ICE activity around the Twin Cities today, the most of any state by far.

In case you’re wondering why so many of us aren’t quite taking Homan’s presser today at face value.

Homan: "ICE is a legitimate federal law enforcement agency. We're not out scouring the streets to disappear people or deny people their civil rights or due process."

Every curling club I've been in has been awesome.

It can't be overstated what an incredible third space curling clubs are. You don't even need to fork often or at all to be a big part of it!
This is a wonderful column about the vital function of the curling club as a social connection

This episode has been a nightmare for my city and state, but I hope people realize it’s also a profound defeat and political catastrophe for Trump and DHS, who are slinking away having accomplished nothing. Minneapolis simply wouldn’t bend to them and they lost
Homan in Minnesota: "I have proposed, and President Trump has concurred, that this surge operation conclude. A significant drawdown has already been underway this week and will continue."

1. This could just be another lie.

2. It will also just move the problem to some other poor city.

But if this is real, the next place needs to take the lesson from the Twin Cities. Active protest works.

I hope it's not offending to say that one of the coolest and most endearing aspects of the winter olympics is that it's weird af.
Final luge race of the Olympics comes up at 12:30 PM ET with the always exciting Team Relay!

Sliders will have a reaction start the moment the paddle is hit by the previous slider, so not only do you have to have a good slide, you've got to do that too.

Here's what that looks like!

This is the second account - the first being in Chicago - of DHS agents mass detaining people and then *sorting them by race*.
More than 400 people, including hundreds of citizens, were “sorted” at gun point into racial and ethnic groups by 200 ICE agents who fired flash-bang grenades into cars with people inside, pointed guns at children & demanded their zip tied parents not comfort them. apple.news/Ausdx6kWtT0e...

If my followers have been inspired by the fierce resistance the Twin Cities has put up to ICE, you should make it a point to take a trip here (April through October 😬), enjoy the wonderful things MN has to offer and support our small businesses. It continues to be a really tough time for them.
