Buttigieg: Some say you can’t talk about any of the things that were wrong about America because that must mean you hate America. To me, anytime we talk about something that wrong, it’s because some of the finest moments that brought out the greatest character of this country is how we put it right.

It has 11 active judges; 10 appointed by Republican presidents (including four by Trump). And the one senior judge still hearing cases is also a Republican appointee.

Here’s a dirty little secret, according to studies - people usually turn in things they’ve found. For example, people usually return wallets and before you ask, rates of wallet return are actually higher ⬆️ when they have cash inside (going from about 51% return rate to about 60% return rate).
My wife left her bag on the MTA yesterday and today… it was at lost and found! Somebody actually went through the trouble.
Given how absolute shit things are, this was an unexpected kindness. I credit the good feelings engendered by the Mamdani administration. :)
Also the good people at the MTA.

I don’t think people quite understand that the occupation by ICE in the Twin Cities has more or less erased non-white people from public life. They cannot safely exist in any space accessible to the public and moving between private places leaves folks vulnerable to kidnapping by armed masked goons.

ICE has kidnapped so many people from their cars that the city had to put out this statement. Let that sink in.
Vehicles that are abandoned due to an ICE detention and towed to the City's impound lot will be released to their owners or a representative at no cost.
