The government denied these detainees access to counsel and tried to whisk them out-of-state as quickly as possible to make it more difficult for their lawyers to assist them. As this court explains, ICE effectively suspended the Fifth Amendment in Minneapolis. democracyforward.org/wp-content/u...

In 1993 Rev. Jesse Jackson was arrested after blocking 5th Avenue as part of a group protesting the Clinton Administration's policy of maintaining a detention camp for Haitian political refugees. A lifetime of direct action and protest regardless of who was in power.

My elementary, middle and high schools were all hit, and I don't really know the results of those attacks because there's not really anyone around but my parents to report it. My parents whose car windows were smashed along with the whole neighborhood. We need reporters out there.
There is no drawdown. There is no retreat. ICE is just redistributing their assets to better avoid accountability.
The same day DHS announced the surge would end in Minnesota, ICE activity increased in small towns
The less densely populated areas outside the Twin Cities make it harder for protesters and observers to organize.

My car doesn’t have blind spot warnings because of the chip shortage from 2020. Really cool how Honda had to strip out an actually useful safety feature so we can have NFTs, which notoriously panned out really well. Real glad we’re doing that shit again with AI!

Gotta hand it to my employer—virtually all of these were already off, possibly because some of the major categories of AI use were disabled by the admin.
I turned off the few that were still on.

One of the funny thing about the "skilled labour" approach to immigration is that it turns apparent economic liberals into believers in 1950s Soviet planned economy where the government apparently knows how many pair of shoes we'll need to manufacture, hence we need so many shoemakers, not one more.
Probably further focus on people to fill job and skills gaps that we lack and try to avoid importing more “unskilled labour” that is unfair for the people coming here and for young people already trying to find employment.
