Because of the president's racist tirade, the local (Minneapolis/St Paul) paper today has quite an array of articles. This one, on the "why" of Somali settlement in Minnesota, is important for those who don't know about it (gift article): www.startribune.com/why-minnesot...
Minnesota hosts the nation’s largest Somali population. What brought them here?
Many fled war, immigrating to the North Star State for opportunities and hospitality.

Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.

Since I haven’t seen anyone mention this: When the U.S. commits war crimes it puts our troops in danger also, as it gives a green light to other countries that they can do the same to us

Kelly: He runs around on stage talking about lethality and the warrior ethos.. That’s not the message that should be coming from the Secretary of Defense… He runs around on a stage like he’s a 12 year old playing army. It’s embarrassing.

This is my favorite piece on the Zero Units, the Afghan locals who actually fought the war under the direction of the CIA.
The Evacuation of the CIA’s Afghan Proxies Has Opened One of the War’s Blackest Boxes
Afghan Zero Units hold clues to many of the war’s mysteries, including how the CIA engineered deadly night raids that contributed to the Taliban’s victory.

I feel like the fractures we are seeing in the MAGA coalition have some people hoping the status quo will simply make a roaring comeback, and judicial consequences will simply engulf all of the bad guys. There's really no precedent that supports that expectation.

It's obvious they were waiting for the shooting and would welcome any number of shooters and murders because they support both murder and anything to justify more fascism.

They will take every incident as an opportunity to ramp up violence against marginalized people.
Miller will not be satisfied until this nation is in final solution territory against every immigrant.
They are showing us that daily.
We can’t fight it if we don’t speak it. This is where we are.

The suspect in the National Guard shooting served for 10 years in the Afghan Army alongside U.S. Special Forces. A relative says he has a wife and five sons, hadn’t spoken to him in months, and doesn’t know why he carried out the attack.

National Guard troops don't sign up to be used as political pawns. They sign up to serve their country, not needlessly deploy to American cities to pick up garbage. These two soldiers should be alive right now and at home with their families for Thanksgiving. I'm furious.

BREAKING: A federal judge has thrown out the criminal indictment of James Comey, ruling that Trump-installed prosecutor Lindsey Halligan was illegally appointed and had no lawful authority to bring the case. The court found her actions violated federal law and the Constitution’s Appointments Clause.

This is four hours ago, but if you check now it is the same. There is no air traffic over Venezuela. That is not a good sign.
