Don't forget the Supreme Court's role facilitating ICE's brutality and racism in Minneapolis. SCOTUS lifted an injunction that limited racial profiling in immigration enforcement on Sept. 8. The federal assault on Chicago began the next day. Then came the Twin Cities. SCOTUS greenlit these horrors.

two kinds of grocery store goers before a big storm: people shopping like their heads are about to explode, and people shopping like their head has already exploded
my hunch is that a lot of people who don't normally cook on the regular flood the grocery store when there is bad weather approaching and they are shopping in a basically haphazard way (there were no mushrooms, for example)

Congress passed the Taft-Hartley Act in 1947 (over Truman's veto) to make general strikes so incredibly difficult to organize that there hasn't been one since.
That there is a general strike happening in a major US city on such short notice is nothing short of a miracle.

National media should really be covering the fact thay every major school, museum, and arts institution in the Twin Cities, and hundreds of local businesses are closed tomorrow to protest federal occupation.
Nothing like this at this scale has happened anywhere in America anytime in living memory.

Abolish and prosecute ICE. They did a murder in broad daylight today. Imagine what they're doing in the closed facilities we're somehow not even allowed to see.

One of the WSJ's A1 stories today was reported *6 months ago* by @404media.co, a team of just four journalists.

it's not the perennial pattern of violent imperial exploitation actually happening, it's a misread of the bad takes thereupon.

The hedgies seem to believe there is or shortly will be something called a government in VZ, and that it'll be safe for them to travel there in March.
It's almost like the hedgies knew more about this invasion than Congress.

Every Democrat running for office needs to promise investigations and full prosecutions from top to bottom, remove its funding bloat then break up the agency and distribute its core remaining useful functions across other agencies.
ICE detain father shopping on Christmas Eve—then steal his family's groceries.
Then 3 agents divvy up his paid for food—taking what they want for themselves.
"Can I just get the wife's number to call and let her know?" woman asks.
"No, guess he should've complied," agent says.

Roomba was the first, and for a long time the only, somewhat viable consumer robotics company. Before them the robot business was all defense contracts and stuff like sheep shearing. Making money on robots is waaaaay harder than science fiction (and current robotics hype) let on.
iRobot, the company that makes the Roomba robot vacuum cleaner, has filed for bankruptcy. It has reached a restructuring support agreement that will hand control to its main supplier and lender Shenzhen PICEA Robotics, and Santrum Hong Kong. bloom.bg/49aEN06
