Here's how Columbia Heights staffer Sandra Garzon described it:
“Everyone is afraid and it’s not only newcomers but also second and third generations. We have families that parents were born here. Their kids are second generation and they’re afraid to leave their homes.”

A 16 year old San Antonio kid was essentially killed by a football coaching staff during an offseason workout.
Players were subjected to punishment drills and repeatedly noted the distress of their teammate, to no avail.
After he collapsed, the rest of the team was compelled to continue the drill.

Even the center-right European People's Party voted for the declaration.
It will form a foundation for their position at the UN Commission on the Status of Women.

remember when centrists would call you an insane person if you said jeff bezos ownership is going to run the washington post into the ground
For those of you keeping score at home, the actual cut to the Post newsroom was 45%, not the widely reported one third. Remaining journalists are a bit over 400, down from around 1100 four years ago and 580 when Bezos bought the place.

There has been no draw down today. ICE snatched someone off Central Ave out of his car because he looked Latino before then letting him go a couple hours later. They were stopping people in Blaine on highway 65, they were all around Fridley, and were in the parking lot of the St Anthony liquor store

The fact his constituents aren’t protesting outside his office everyday demanding to see his brain scans and a report from a neurosurgeon is baffling to me. And I am not mocking his condition, I truly believe his stroke changed him and his brain chemistry. And they are hiding that information.
