Duffy on what he's doing to improve the airport experience for travelers: "Maybe I want a workout area where people might get some blood flowing doing some pull ups or step ups in the airport."

Respectfully, Congresswoman, you voted with Republicans to strip due process from immigrants and to praise Trump's ICE. This year.

Now you're upset?

Votes have consequences. Minnesotans deserve better.
ICE agents followed a Burnsville family home from the store, failed to present a warrant and entered their home with guns drawn. They detained 4 legal citizens who presented documentation, leaving a 7 year-old without parents.

A seven-year-old. Let that sink in. Trump’s ICE is out of control.
ICE agents detained four people from a Burnsville home, according to family members, including a 7-year-old's parents and the husband of a pregnant woman.

Hi everyone, I’m asking you all to be cautious and careful. There have been raids around our community today. It’s disheartening to see this behavior that is tearing families apart. 1/

I don't trust this at fucking all. Sorry, the cops are gonna find ways to weasel out. Suddenly they can't see things. This depends on the Minneapolis PD to identify unlawful uses of force by feds when they can't even do that with their own colleagues. Bullshit.

Can we tell the moderates this is a “Public Safety” issue because the public continues to slip and fall in the winter? Maybe that’ll turn on the money nose if they hear “public safety”.
Vote was 8-4. Palmisano, Rainville, Vetaw and Jenkins voted against. Palmisano argued it takes away from core public works functions in the winter.

It's true—there's a trade off. But maybe sidewalks are core enough transportation infrastructure that it's worth a $600k pilot?

Great Moments in Immigration Enforcement

"I asked them if they had a judicial warrant. They said they didn't need one. I said yes you do."

Employees then captured video of agents leaving and turning the wrong way on a one way street.

I was absolutely horrified when Zaynab said no GOP members took up her invitation to come stand with her in support of her and our other Somali neighbors. She has to work with those people every fucking day and not a GODDAMN one of them had the balls to go stand with her.

We encountered an ICE immigration enforcement action on Park Ave. in Minneapolis today. When my colleague Ben Hovland and I arrived there were only a couple observers, but there were dozens blowing whistles by the time ICE agents left without making an arrest.

why are we giving our useless ass mayor a pay raise when that money could go to making sure our houseless neighbors are safe
I want everyone to flip out over this proposal to give the mayor a $46,000 raise. I completely agree that our elected officials should be well paid. But people tear their hair out over council pay, so we need to bring that same energy to this one.

All of the companies that make the software I use are increasing their prices, to account for an "investment" in AI.

I'm sat here imagining how my clients would feel if I added 30% to each invoice, because I "really got into gambling".
