SPPD appears to have used tear gas canisters against Saint Paul residents, in an effort to support HSI and ICE.

Whatever one thought of it in the moment it's clear that a wide swath of Saint Paul residents have given SPPD a lot of good faith assumptions during an era when policing is under greater scrutiny. And I think today is gonna mark a major shift in that sentiment for a significant chunk of citizens.

None of the cities have a choice. Before Waymo operates driverless robots they get the state to pass a special Autonomous Vehicle law preempting local gov regulation. They are trying to do it now in MN.
Waymo has more lobbyists than there are regulators of this tech at the state and national level.

Remember when some of us were talking about toxic positivity? This is where we warned everyone it would take us: Companies make smiling an official job requirement while our governments abandon their responsibilities and tell everyone the real problem is their attitude and appearance.
Trump's Transportation Secretary on how to improve air travel:
"People dress up like they're going to bed when they fly... We want to push people as we come into a really busy travel season, help people out, be in a good mood, dress up"

Ridesharing without a driver? It's coming to Minneapolis
Testing will begin Thursday morning. No date has been set to start offering rides to passengers.

Rapid responders were in force. There was clash. Pepper spray.

Encouraging info from CM Chavez. My issue here is that the entire history of Big Tech is doing illegal things and daring people to stop them, which rarely happens. We need to say a robot can't drive AND provide a framework for strong penalties when the companies inevitably ignore that law.
My understanding is that state law requires a human driver.
According to MPR, Waymo hired lobbyists to explore the possibility of changing state laws to allow for the operation of autonomous vehicles.
I’d be supportive of an ordinance that requires a human to be physically present.

Over the last yearish, I’ve become allergic to more than 70 foods. Today I lost soy. I’m not how long I can keep eating at all.

I’m hearing a lot of despair and “what’s the point”-ing.
Here’s the point:
ONE less person kidnapped by ICE.
ONE more child vaccinated.
ONE grant reinstated.
ONE more PEPFAR treatment.
ONE more meal to a hungry kid.
ONE more person covered by Medicaid.
One life is ALWAYS worth resistance.
