Moriarty: "A police officer of color who was off duty was boxed in by ICE - she's a citizen - they demanded to know who she was & see her papers. She was going to try to record it & they ripped the phone out of her hand. That happened to a cop. That's what's happening here on the streets of MN."

Taylor Schlitz: On this MLK Day, a letter from Minnesota
In 1963, the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. wrote “Letter from Birmingham Jail.” His words are especially relevant today given what is happening in Minnesota, Haley Taylor Schlitz writes.

We’re in a moral fight, and Democrats in Congress need to start acting like the opposition party on every 👏🏽 damn 👏🏽 thing 👏🏽
Opposition isn’t about polite press releases and sad cable hits. It’s about using every procedural tool available to slow, expose, and force accountability.

Punishing billionaires is a message both sides can agree on.
The #FreeLuigi movement was not contained by political labels.
Billionaires are paying reps on both sides to keep the target off their backs so I think we need to take the ballot initiative route to impose wealth taxes.

If there's one empirical insight I'd want everyone to understand about American politics, it's this:
America's problems are solved problems. Just not here.
What would change if the US simply matched the average of 31 peer democracies? Not Denmark or Norway. Just the middle of the pack. 🧵

OMG! I worked at Shoney's as a teenager. You wouldn't believe some of the things wait staff (not me!) did to food they were serving to obnoxious customers. The managers knew; they thought it was funny and deserved.

Also, doesn't this guarantee that these guys are going to be eating meals that are seasoned with assorted bodily fluids.
Seems just a little short sighted on their part.

Donald Trump intentionally inflates American prices again.
New tariff just dropped.
Americans set to pay an additional 10% tax on all goods from Germany, the UK, France, the Netherlands, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, and Finland.
It starts in two weeks, rising to 25% by June.
(Aside: A trade war with one EU country is a trade war with the entire EU).
