I don’t think these are the correct shoes for these pants.

Minneapolis’ first all-Indigenous firefighter crew hopes to inspire kids and adults in the community.

“That made a huge difference in the community for them to see a Native man with long hair that looks like me on a fire rig going to 911 calls,” Johnny Crow said.

Ihre Papiere, bitte! Trump's secret police gave a Rogers Park man a $130 ticket for not having his papers on his person when he was stopped. They rounded him up last week and eventually let him go, but not without a fine that legal experts widely believe is unlawful.

ICE tickets Chicago man with legal residency $130 for not having his papers on him: ‘It’s not fair…I’m a resident’

Under federal law, registered foreign nationals must carry proof of registration with them at all times. But prior to a second Trump administration, it was rarely enforced.

His hour long infomercial, paid for by undisclosed business interests, dumping all over Mayor Frey's enemies, with subjects who participated because they were told it would help the mayor, should not be interpreted as an attempt to influence next month's city election.

Since WCCO TV is owned by the CBS News and Stations Division, I don't think I'll be wasting my time watching until they clean up their act.

Promoting the editor-in-chief's personal side project. Zero named sources in a story that promotes the editor-in-chief's personal political position. Misspelling the subject's name. It took one day for CBS News to become a conservative blog.

Border Patrol “attempted to arrest a plumber working inside a Logan Heights home but left empty-handed after the homeowner refused them entry.

The homeowner told agents she would not allow them inside because the warrant they presented did not include her address and lacked a judge's signature.”

Federal immigration operations target San Diego neighborhoods, sparking community resistance

Federal immigration agents conducted operations in Logan Heights and Southeast San Diego on Friday, with community members capturing footage of the enforcement actions.

Our VFC COVID vaccines arrived on Friday a full 23 days after our private insurance ones.

A meaningless delay that is 100% the result of RFK Jr and Jim O'Neill's incompetence.

Parents will ask "is something going around?" and we would, based on media reports, anecdotal data, and experience would answer "oh yeah, probably something viral".

The CDC produces the NREVSS dashboard which tells us exactly what diseases are "going around".

Is has not been updated for 3 weeks.

I was mostly in the car today, driving to the North Shore, but on my fairly brief stops, *four* different people complimented this, and two asked where to buy them. I feel like if MN50501 put them back into production they’d sell.

MN50501 is fundraising and we only have until Friday to reach our goal. If you'd like to help fund future demonstrations like No Kings Day, pick up your laser loon shirt or other merch here: mn50501-org-merch.itemorder.com/shop/product...

Continue to tell normies about this. These are not popular policies!

The vast majority of people appropriately believe this is ghoulish behavior - including Trump supporters. They aren’t showing this on FOX or in the right wing information ecosystem, because this is what will make them crack.

ICE kidnapped a 7th-grader with a pending asylum claim and spirited him out of state without notifying his parents, seemingly with the cooperation of the local police in Everett, MA.

Everett 13-year-old arrested by ICE and sent to Virginia detention facility

A 13-year-old boy was arrested by ICE in Everett and sent to a juvenile detention facility in Virginia.
A 13-year-old boy was arrested by ICE in Everett and sent to a juvenile detention facility in Virginia.
A 13-year-old boy was arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in Everett after an interaction with members of the Everett Police Department and sent to a juvenile detention facility in Virginia, according to his mother and immigration lawyer Andrew Lattarulo.

The boy’s mother, Josiele Berto, was called to pick her son up from the Everett Police Department on Thursday, the day he was arrested. After waiting for about an hour and a half, she was told her son was taken by ICE, Berto told the Globe in a phone interview.

“My world collapsed,” Berto said in Portuguese.

From the police department, the boy was taken to ICE’s holding facility in Burlington on Thursday evening, where he spent a night before being transferred by car to the Northwestern Regional Juvenile Detention Center in Winchester, Va., on Friday morning, his mother said. The juvenile facility is more than 500 miles away from Everett.

The boy is a 7th-grader at Albert N. Parlin School in Everett, his mother said. The teen and his family, who are Brazilian nationals, have a pending asylum case and are authorized to work legally in the United States, Lattarulo said.

I think ICE should be abolished. We should create a new agency focused on whatever kind of immigration enforcement we think is reasonable. But ICE needs to be razed to the ground.

For context: I was never on Team Abolish The Police. I thought that was silly, and way too broad.

It’s impossible to overstate how much “abolish ice” is the normie position now here in chicago — just countless random moms at toddler soccer on a park district field asking me where I bought my anti-ice t-shirt. average people don’t like our neighborhoods being terrorized.
