Today.
Still around 100 community reports of ICE activity around the Twin Cities today, the most of any state by far.
In case you’re wondering why so many of us aren’t quite taking Homan’s presser today at face value.

ICE is really stepping up their activities out here in rural Minnesota today. I pray that someday my neighbors will be able to leave their homes again.

But somehow the argument is supposed to be between people who say it's dangerous and harmful and people who say maybe it's going to render all human creative activity obsolete and maybe it'll build a sentient sun that can understand the universe

And on the other, in terms of present uses, people find it be a really convenient way to access a less accurate wikipedia-like reference, or it works okay as like a personal planner for some people sort of, it makes creepy commercials and slop and some people go insane talking to it all the time,

Where we're at so far with it is they're building massive data centers in towns against the wishes of the people who live there, sometimes burning their own fossil fuel power plants, straining the grid overall to the point that they're bringing back nuclear plants and coal, on one side of the ledger

Now: US Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Rodney Scott tells congress the reason Border Patrol "surged a bunch of resources into Minneapolis" was because “ICE couldn’t go do arrests without being violently assaulted”.

I don't believe ICE is done in Minnesota and they certainly aren't done in the US.
And they've come in and destroyed a lot. There are tens of thousands of neighbors that need to be returned. There are reparations that should be made to the people and businesses most effected by ICE's actions.

The T-800 Cybernetic Hunter-Killer is a legitimate law enforcement agent. They're not out scouring the streets to murder Sarah Connors or deny Sarah Connors their civil rights or due process. rare-gallery.com/xfsearch/alt...

ok so just some context for the post on the left here. before all this started every county except for hennepin county has already done this for a long time and it seems like, as much as i’m pissed at her, witt did not actually budge on it.

It’s because in order to arrive at what’s being touted as “reasonable” or whatever you’re triangulating between grifters who are promising future benefits and people who are pointing out that it’s a grift causing actual harm in the present, and that triangulation is part of how the grift works
It is really unfortunate that it's not possible to have a reasonable discussion about AI on here.
I understand why people are exhausted by AI hype, and why those of us squarely in the corner of "human dignity uber alles" see AI doomerism as self-serving hype, but I *really* think people on the left broadly need to start thinking seriously about the possibiltiy of the hype being...true.

Also, Timberwolves co-owner and Minnesota landlord Alex Rodriguez (yes, that A-Rod owns over a thousand housing units in the Twin Cities) was recently in Minnesota to lobby for a new stadium.
He should receive a very frosty reception.

People in Minnesota are being hunted by federal agents. They are in hiding. And if they cannot work to pay rent, they will no longer be able to hide. We need so many things in Minnesota, @governorwalz.mn.gov - a rent moratorium is the bare minimum and within your power to enact.

ICE is still very actively brutalizing the Twin Cities metro region. These thugs need to be brought to justice.
This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paul—an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.
