After Trump won in 2016, the NYT and every major media outlet offered resources and books to "get to know" his voters. Can we get the same curiosity about the people his policies have terrorized over the past 10 years?

That means ~815k Minnesotans participated in the shutdown and ~310k in the strike. That would make Minnesota’s January 23 general strike one of the largest in history.
A new poll finds that 1 in 4 Minnesota voters took part in the Jan 23 shutdown against ICE, or have a loved one who did. Of those, 38% DID NOT WORK, either because they made the choice to stay out, or their workplaces closed. By me, @thomasbirm.bsky.social, @bloomekatz.bsky.social

Another eight federal prosecutors have left or announced their intentions to leave the Minnesota U.S. Attorney’s Office, according to multiple sources with knowledge of the situation.
The latest: Eight more federal prosecutors set to leave the Minnesota U.S. Attorney’s Office
The recent wave of departures follow the mass exodus of six veteran prosecutors last month who quit in protest of recent directives from the U.S. Department of Justice.

This is funny, but also brilliant. Once people go down the path (of any wrong decision), it is sooooo hard to turn back -- because it is tantamount to admitting you were foolish. As hard as it is, we need to offer soft landings and gentle off ramps (which is what we'd want too)

I'm sure these folks are eagerly waiting to see Trump's plan for the East Wing.
Tens of thousands of people across Tennessee, Mississippi and Louisiana have gone a week without power or heat after a brutal ice storm. At least three dozen people have died in connection with the storm, officials have said.
