the 50k unit import cap makes this tariff cut much less impactful than the headline suggests but it's plausible that in a few years or so Americans going to Vancouver will be gawking at how much better the car selection is
Canada agrees to cut its 100% tariff on Chinese EVs in return for lower duties on Canadian farm products, in a break with the U.S.

Four hours of patrol, ZERO confirmed or suspected ICE. They’re trying to hide but they can’t hide that well. They may well come back but for now Uptown seems to have effectively driven DHS out.

DHS getting basic 4th Amendment law wrong on its official Twitter account.
Seems like this post is bound to show up as an exhibit in one of the cases challenging ICE/Border Control enforcement actions.

There’s no real debate. I have witnessed a very small number of ICE activists advocating for carrying firearms or even trying to agitate by physically striking ICE vehicles, etc. Let’s be clear: the incredibly vast majority of people resisting ICE correctly believe these people are fools.

We have ~15 separate radio dispatches, one for each neighborhood, and dozens more for the suburbs/Saint Paul. Each dispatch/monitoring channel contains somewhere between 500 and 2000 people. At any given time there are probably a dozen mobile patrols and 100 on-foot observers in each neighborhood.
Does Minneapolis have a radio dispatch set up for the people who are following ICE? That's brilliant.
alright here you go

wow it’s almost like I’ve had an unwavering belief that ICE was an abusive, rogue paramilitary that must be eliminated for almost a decade
This is what liberal Will Stancil @whstancil.bsky.social was posting when leftists blocked off an ICE jail in Portland for a full summer in 2018.
Now he's driving around alone doing stochastic self-entertainment passed off as "activism", because he's The Smartest Boy, far too smart to join an org.

Cripes a’mighty people, Steven Miller is not staging a militarized ethnic cleansing and sending the border cops to murder people in the street to distract from the Epstein files. He’s doing it because he and Trump (and Vance and Homan and Noem etc) really really want to.

BBC report at a headline level that Grok will now not make sexually exploitative images any more. An actual reporter comes on and explains that it will do no such thing, and will just make the images invisible in the UK. These are two very, very different things.

I guess one clarifying aspect of the regime's occupation of Minneapolis is that *no one* is coming to save us. No elected officials will protect you against the lawless thugs marauding around your streets. They won't even pretend to offer help.
They will hold indignant press conferences though.

I’m seeing posts from people (outside of MN) about how US citizens should carry their passports.
And let me say that *inside* MN, we are calmly responding to requests with: “No, I don’t have to show you any documentation.”
Because that’s how you protect everyone, regardless of immigration status.
