I'm looking at schedules, and I do not understand why it says that it will take twice as long (17 hours) to go to Montreal by train than it should take to drive there (7-8 hours)

It appears that some members of the Democratic Party are supporting KOSA.
The act purports to be about protecting children, but it could weaponize Trump's FTC to target LGBTQ+ content on the internet.

It's also where Dred and Harriet Scott were enslaved, and then denied standing in the suit for their freedom on the grounds that Black people could not be citizens.
just keep thinking about my colleague's @racketmn.com piece that Fort Snelling, this building where ICE is HQ'd, is the site of a concentration camp, part of institutionalized genocide against the Dakota.

yes—and also, it is not everyone's job to act like a politician! if you're not a politician, it's actually not your job at all. so if you think ice should be abolished, don't give up on saying it. politicians will never be brave unless they're scared of the rest of us.
there's more than enough people saying "prosecute and hold ICE accountable" and "reform and better train ICE" to reach the people who are thought to be reachable with incremental change, so I feel like it's time and energy well-spent, personally, to hold the line with "abolish ICE"
