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.

AI is like when you’re playing Pac-Man and you know how all the ghosts’ movements work but then when you get killed by a ghost you still get mad at the game like it just intentionally did something to you

Another must watch, appreciate the folks over in Elliott Payne's office doing the work and getting the word out like this.
An 18 year old was taken today in the Hennepin County Government Center.
Any leader thinking collaborating with ICE will be good and help end this surge is forgetting that no one in our community is expendable.

This is because a statistical model of word frequency is not a useful tool for modeling the complex interactions of the human body
⚠️ Despite all the hype, chatbots still make terrible doctors. Out today is the largest user study of language models for medical self-diagnosis. We found that chatbots provide inaccurate and inconsistent answers, and that people are better off using online searches or their own judgment.

However lawless you think the immigration agencies have become, it's worse than you think.
NEW: Federal judges are increasingly furious at what they see as a pattern / playbook of defiance by the Trump administration to court orders in immigration cases — in Minnesota and around the country.

A POLITICO review of hundreds of cases brought by ICE detainees shows a pattern of noncompliance that has frustrated judges across the country.

In retrospect I sometimes wish we had named the cat McNichols, which was two blocks from the liquor store where he was found.
It would have been an incredible bit to put McNichols on all his paperwork and only ever refer to him as Six Mile
