oh dang, that explains why nothing was working today!
Status update: fiber cut between data centers - trucks are rolling. Services are slow but functional, except for the Wayback Machine, which is still offline.
The Wayback Machine, openlibrary.org, and some other archive.org functions are offline because some network gear has failed.
We apologize and are working on it. More as it happens.

Halligan's incompetence is so overwhelming that the practical legal answers of how to unravel the situation devolve to esoteric questions of philosophy.
So arguably the judge can’t dismiss the case because there is, technically, no case!

There had better be trials. And not just for the low-level thugs carrying out these orders, but for everyone up the chain of command.
If we get past this, the solution isn’t to pretend it never happened and invite Stephen Miller to Harvard’s Institute of Politics.
It’s trials w real punishments.

A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

With our mayor getting reelected, and showing he thinks MPD working with ICE is just fine, I’m concerned for the safety and livelihood of many of our Latine small business owners and their families. Please consider visiting these locations around the metro!

By my admittedly rushed math, it seems like Fateh needs about 71% of the Davis/Jazz vote to break his way. Seems tough, but not impossible

But also if you could please send Minneapolis good vibes while we maybe collectively lose our minds for 48ish hours of ranked choice voting…that would be great.
