DHS employees entered our store this afternoon and served us a Notice of Inspection, demanding copies of I9 forms for each employee.
In 27 years as shopkeepers, we have never been subjected to this type of investigation.

This. The question of trans rights is not exclusively about trans people - it's about whether people have the freedom to live the lives they want, or whether we must follow arbitrary and hierarchical social rules. It's about human dignity.
I can't trust politicians who are anti-trans. Not because I'm "only searching for perfection" which is what centrists will be accusing me of for the rest of my life, it's because if you're not pro-trans you'll be garbage on lots of other issues too. Being anti-trans NEVER exists in a vacuum.

I've been researching some malware that uses Blockchain Smart Contracts as Command-and-Control infrastructure. Since blockchain data is public, I was able to write code to track how many new systems the malware infects each day. Blog post coming next week.

they are ignoring people's documentation anyway. giving them your documentation is just giving them the chance to destroy it
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.
