Going to do the same here in Fayetteville, Arkansas.
“How would you prefer to see Northwest Arkansas developed?”
Sadly, we’re overrun with folks who want single family houses and to protect the natural beauty of the city. Can’t have both, folks.

How much and what type of data is being captured from the phones of people who scan these QR codes?
This seems like a terrible idea. Just require ICE agents to not cover their faces and wear identification that clearly displays their name and badge number.

Today at 34 & Park in Minneapolis, a woman tried to drive down the street where a protest had broken out in front of a home ICE was raiding, saying she had a doctor apt to get to. ICE agents busted out her windows, cut off her seatbelt, and pulled her out before arresting her.

I think part of it is because so much of iOS 26 seems to be not fully baked across the OS. And, really, the same can be said about MacOS and iPadOS.

Just the fact that now in the United States armed masked men can go up to someone just pumping gas and say "are you a US citizen" should outrage every. single. American.
My edit makes it appear like the ICE officer is just doing his job and this crazy is coming at him. Not so. Here's the rest.

“Residents have been urged to stay away from the monkeys and call for help instead. A news release said they are intelligent and social, but may be unpredictable or aggressive under stress.”
Aren‘t we all kind of like that these days?

Multiple monkeys are on the loose in St. Louis. And AI generated images are complicating the effort to find them.
