At one point today, there were 283 Minnesota attorneys doing a training on how to file emergency habeas petitions to keep our neighbors from being shipped out of state and held indefinitely.
That would be the second largest law firm in the state. And that training was just put together this week.

I’m seeing posts from people (outside of MN) about how US citizens should carry their passports.
And let me say that *inside* MN, we are calmly responding to requests with: “No, I don’t have to show you any documentation.”
Because that’s how you protect everyone, regardless of immigration status.

How many times have I argued that Trump was using white identity politics to consolidate power only to be told by the pundit class and “objective” journalists that the failing of the left was its continuous embrace of identity politics while they were completely blind to whiteness as an identity?

I'm starting to think that when Republicans talk about "family values," they are referring to the cash value of children on the open market.

Another critical avenue for research is people who have had long COVID for years. Some people recover or nearly recover after 12-24 months. Someone needs to look at what is going on with those of us who've been sick for 5-6 YEARS and are not recovering, or are getting sicker. We need help!

This is important 👇
Mpls: If you are working to support neighbors right now I *highly* suggest avoiding the generic "let me know what you need" and instead asking/offering directly:
"I'm going to the store. Send me a list."
"Do you need shampoo? Fruit? Toilet paper?"
"Can I help with your laundry?"
