ICE raided a workplace in my district today. Two unmarked vans stole away an unknown number of workers from Bro-Tex.
Rapid responders were in force. There was clash. Pepper spray.
All the folks I spoke to at the scene were shook but resolve was fierce.
No quarter for ICE in Saint Paul.

This is basically making it so trans people who were adopted and had their birth records sealed cannot obtain a passport at all. This will also ensnare cis people who were adopted and have clerical errors on their records or are suspected of being trans.

Encouraging info from CM Chavez. My issue here is that the entire history of Big Tech is doing illegal things and daring people to stop them, which rarely happens. We need to say a robot can't drive AND provide a framework for strong penalties when the companies inevitably ignore that law.
My understanding is that state law requires a human driver.
According to MPR, Waymo hired lobbyists to explore the possibility of changing state laws to allow for the operation of autonomous vehicles.
I’d be supportive of an ordinance that requires a human to be physically present.

So I try not to give too many gory details about life with long covid, but I also think it’s important to give a clear picture of what can happen to anyone.
Over the last yearish, I’ve become allergic to more than 70 foods. Today I lost soy. I’m not how long I can keep eating at all.

I’m hearing a lot of despair and “what’s the point”-ing.
Here’s the point:
ONE less person kidnapped by ICE.
ONE more child vaccinated.
ONE grant reinstated.
ONE more PEPFAR treatment.
ONE more meal to a hungry kid.
ONE more person covered by Medicaid.
One life is ALWAYS worth resistance.

Shipping was slow, but from Woot.com, which means they came through the direct supply chain 3M established with Amazon after Amazon had some "selling counterfeits" issues.

Sometimes when people ask me why I’m wearing a mask I say I’m traveling or have some important thing soon and can’t afford to get sick and miss it and that’s pretty much always true but I think it would be nice if it were more normalized to just say “I don’t want to get sick” and leave it at that

I think this bag is fake.
Hermes's flagship products are handsewn using a saddle stitch. A worker marks the leather using an awl and then threads two needles through from both sides.
This results in a tight stitch with no holes between the stitches. The holes here suggest the bag was machine sewn.

I would encourage trans folks especially, but LGBTQ+ folks more broadly, to understand:
We are going to *lose* (maybe even a lot) as cases move up to SCOTUS.
*and*
Every delay & pause, even temporary, is a win. And we will ultimately win.
Care for yourself. Care for community. Keep organizing.
