Word of the day is ‘catchfart’, from the 17th century, used of a servant who followed their master or mistress a little too closely.
In today’s terms, a catchfart is someone who fawns upon the boss or who follows the political wind.

I don’t know who this guy is, but he makes a good point about how important the rule of law and due process are. Imagine if a government agency dramatically disrupted an innocent person’s life without following all of the proper procedures. This guy would be outraged I’m sure.

ICE watch has been life-changing: “I feel like our whole lives as Minnesotans...it’s always kind of like, ‘Don’t even start that kind of thing because you have to live around these people. I feel that’s gone in me personally — I don’t even care if I ruffle feathers.” www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

read online that someone set-up a premium rate phone number where callers get charged $3.99/ min. then they posted flyers in their neighborhood that said "call this number to report illegal aliens," but the number just puts them on hold with music. so far, they've made $17,000

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.
