Near Lyndale and 24th Ave in Minneapolis tonight, feds have reportedly shot another person.

Preliminary info is shaky for now, hearing two people injured.

BORTAC just rolled up in an armored vehicle. A crowd is gathering outside the police tape—MPD presence as well.

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 know it's hard to shock these days but Elon Musk going full Rhodesia defender and calling for the ethnic cleansing of the US should still shock you.

These are neo nazi views that were only previously shared on explicitly neo nazi sites.

"extending fairness beyond their tribes" hits so fucking hard
No, autistics do not “lack empathy”: “Where researchers had assumed impairment, they found autistic people applying moral principles more consistently—even to strangers, even when costly.” By Ludmila Pradlova.

What the World Got Wrong About Autistic People
For decades, autism research compared autistic people to animals, denied them moral sensitivity, and assumed autistic traits made them miserable. All wrong.

I don't know anything about oil or Sky Marchini, but I'm gonna post this here because fuck the thought police:
OK, crash course in oil. Oil has two main gradings, viscosity (light or heavy) and sulfur (sweet or sour)....

Trump just vetoed a bill that would fund the completion of a project to bring clean drinking water to rural Colorado.

The bill was passed unanimously by the House and the Senate.

He did so in retaliation for the state refusing to release Tina Peters, who illegally tampered with voting machines.

Class act:
It's all good, and I really mean it. Maybe she's lucky to not be so zero-sum about this because her race is in an incredibly blue district and she has a national profile. But I do believe doing this stuff is what gets you that national profile. Also, either way, food's food and socks are socks.

We are 29 minutes in and I have now defined what success looks like and the terms to be consistently used across my information architecture

I would hope that skeptical types would appreciate that this is not "throw it at the wall and hope the robot figures it out by magic" work.

It was such a joy to celebrate Hanukkah with Mandy, Kathryn and their son, Gideon. As Jewish New Yorkers across our city prepare to light candles and mark the seventh night today, I wish you and your families a Hanukkah full of light and love.
