Armed ICE agents trapped US citizens in a restaurant and demanded their papers. Federal agents walked into East African restaurants in Cedar-Riverside, MN. They closed and blocked the doors. Then they demanded to see everyone’s papers. Every person present was a US citizen.

EXCLUSIVE: We found that Instacart is using AI algorithms to charge customers different prices for the same items.

It's not just online. It's in physical grocery stores too.

Our months-long investigation with @consumerreports.org and @groundwork.bsky.social found it could cost families $1200/year.

then, the transphobes , feeling victorious at how many people they have made unhappy and despairing in the previous week, move on to anything else that has a spectrum and the possibility of more colours than they can conceive - such hateful people - they cannot understand anything that is not THEM

Dear neighbor, It’s disheartening to see all these federal agents that have descended upon Minneapolis. We continue to see increased immigration enforcement activity in South Minneapolis/ Phillips neighborhoods/ Powderhorn/ Lake Street. 1/

There have been multiple ICE kidnapping in South Minneapolis this morning.

If you have the capacity to be a presence outside, watch for out of state vehicles with tinted windows and masked drivers.

Couple dozen people total (FBI, HSI, DEA) on site surrounding Bro-Tex at Hamden and Territorial.

“Just executing a search warrant” was the answer given on site.
