Paying so much attention to Minneapolis makes sense, and Portland and Lewiston here in Maine; talked to a friend in Arizona who said they’ve been under siege as well. It’s just not a national news.

Even “criminals” shouldn’t be abducted off the streets and thrown into prison camps.

Past time to block.
AltNPS posted about Alex Pretti's murder 25 times since this morning. During that time, they spread misinformation about the shooting, lied about knowing the shooter's name, and generally flooded the zone with shit.

They're trying to milk this story for all it's worth.

In busy and big group chats, you can just DM someone. you don’t have to announce to the whole group chat that you’re going to DM them. Just venting this here. :-)

With the Tik Tok deal closing, remember:

The original Tik Tok divestiture law was the first time President Trump openly defied a law passed by Congress, signed by the President, that was upheld as Constitutional by the Supreme Court.

A precedent?

What Does the Tik Tok Deal Really Mean?
I can't confidently predict the social media company's future. But I suspect history will consider the whole episode in a different context, for very different reasons.

A few minutes before we headed out for our afternoon walk, there was a giant gust of wind and the snow started swirling all around. But by the time we arrived back home 45 minutes later, everything was quiet and calm. Things can change so quickly.✨

Trump supporting accountant of a nonprofit no longer receiving funds (bc fed stopped payments) saw the bank account not being filled and still believes they will be paid because it would be illegal not to honor the contract.

Yes, it’s wrong and it IS happening.

I wonder what the world would be like if every time someone had a goal or a dream, people asked “what’s the next step?” instead of “why would you want to do that?”

people saying this (ICE abductions) isn't Nazis, this is slave catchers-->Jim Crow-->mass incarceration continued are 100% correct.

we white people are having a hard time accepting our ancestors were the oppressors who created this system. we prefer comparing it to something farther away.

Can you imagine the lack of situational awareness necessary to allow an ICE agent to eat *any* food prepared by a Minnesotan who is not in their direct line of sight right now?
