Georgia Fort, an independent journalist and vice president of the Minnesota NABJ chapter, was also arrested by federal agents this morning
I was sent this video of agents at her door:
1. The Trump administration is not conducting its deadly immigration crackdown in Minneapolis alone
Major corporations, including Amazon, Citizens Bank, and AT&T, are enabling — and profiting from — the operation.

As a society, we will take big step toward sanity when we stop measuring everything by how it may affect “the market.”
ICE agents spent Christmas Eve arresting a man in a Walmart parking lot—even taking his groceries for themselves.
A bystander asked ICE if she could take down the phone number of his wife to let her know her husband had been detained. The ICE agents refused.

Why are ICE agents being paid during the shutdown, but not air traffic controllers? 🤨
Please everyone in #WarRavagedPortland post your best photographs of the devastation there so that you will not suffer alone!!
Let's make this asshole famous.

Sigh.
I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.
This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.
DENVER (AP) — Jury finds MyPillow founder Mike Lindell defamed former employee for a leading voting equipment company.
Many progressives are hesitant to support Gov. Newson because of his obvious, blatant political opportunism.
When blatant political opportunism works in your favor, embrace it.
Politicians are tools. Use them properly.
I've lived in Vegas for over 10 years and I'm no fan of the Vegas heat. I'm cranky all summer (just ask my wife). But this week we're in Pittsburgh, PA. High here today was 83. I'm DYING. The humidity is so oppressive. So don't feel bad - it was hot here, too.
Hello. I live in Los Angeles. The president is lying.
My wife and I have been in DC for 2 days, touring the Smithsonian museums and galleries. It's a bucket list thing. To allow this magnificent institution and cultural treasure to fall under TACO's thumb would be a national disgrace.
And it's a dry heat, womp womp.
Just traded sides of the country with you. Vegas to DC, 7% humidity to 70% humidity. It appears I'm overdressed.
San Diego, CA a couple days ago. Look at what they're wearing.
A lot of visibility lately for the June 14 protests, which is GOOD. But there is another event happening THIS FRIDAY, June 6. While the rally is in DC, there are associated rallies all across the country.
Hey, you know what? Maybe if they go looking for the people responsible for the "chemtrails," they will find there is no such thing as "chemtrails."
Just kidding. They're Louisiana Republicans.
A rare example of an *actual* violent criminal who is in the US illegally. This is true antisemitism, not the bullshit accusations thrown at foreign students who express an opinion about Israel's annihilation of women and children in Gaza. MAGA would have you believe they are equivalent.
Appalling
This is completely false and not

Hi Tripp, I'm a reporter with the Guardian US, based in New York. I hope this finds you well. I'm reaching out about your most recent article and its inclusion of the claim, "Young Chinese women have small fingers." What is the source of this information? The full sentence attributes the claim that such small fingers make them "nimble" and therefore "valuable" to iPhone manufacturing to unnamed "supply chain experts", but it's unclear whether those same experts are the source of the claim that young Chinese women have small fingers in the first place. Are they? How do they know? Is there a study you can cite? And are we talking length? Circumference? Is it question of muscle strength? Or bone density? What is the normative range for finger size, to what extent do young Chinese women fall outside of it, and how do you - or your sources - know this?
Incidentally, how are you defining "Chinese" in this sentence? As I'm sure you and your supply chain experts know, China is a large country with dozens of ethnic minorities. It is hard to imagine that hand size is a trait linked to national identity, but the lack of specificity leaves the question open. Did hand size among Han Chinese living in Taiwan vs the PRC diverge after the civil war? Could this be a function of political economy rather than a genetic trait? So many questions. Relatedly, how are you defining "young"? Do Chinese women's fingers grow as they age? Or is size not actually the meaningful characteristic? It's hard to tell from the information you provided! I ask all these questions because unless you have answers to them, I am afraid that you may have portrayed racist pseudoscience as if it were fact in an article for the New York Times. If that wasn't your intent, I hope you will reflect upon the long history of certain forces using race science claims to attribute suitability for certain types of labor to certain types of people, and amend your article. Best, Julia Wong
welp I sent an email
A free online course from Harvard about America's Constitution and the balance of power. Some people really need this class.
There is a rally for veterans in DC on June 6, the weekend before this stupid military parade. GO TO THAT INSTEAD. www.unite4veterans.org
I missed this headline from a few days ago. This was a program Biden put in place to help veterans avoid foreclosure. By cutting this program, 90,000 veterans are at serious risk of losing their homes. The GOP have a lot to answer for.
This is going to be a huge rally - make sure everyone knows about it!

No appreciation or concern for the seriousness of this escalation. "...based on a little bit of the past..." SMH
