Fred Korematsu dedicated his life to protesting WW2 concentration camps in the U.S. and fighting for justice for Japanese Americans — but his work is not done. ICE is putting our communities behind bars yet again. To keep Korematsu's spirit of resistance alive, we have to stop Trump's racist regime.

Yikes. The Latino-owned businesses in Mercado Central in Minneapolis report a 90% dip in business since the major influx of federal agents into Minnesota. This is where I’d go to get my Mexican groceries and my pozole fix when I lived in the Twin Cities

You have to read this. Firsthand affidavit from one of the women who was there and recording the video. She talks about how Alex Pretti was directing traffic when she arrived. She watched him be killed in front of her. She's afraid to go home, worried she'll be arrested.

the video of another person being murdered by the state on the streets of minneapolis shows exactly what people are saying it shows. make your own choices but don’t feel like you are obligated to bear witness to it. reading a description is enough.

Inhumane and monstrous behavior.
A 5-year-old preschool student was taken with his father by federal immigration agents shortly after arriving home from school, Columbia Heights school leaders said Jan. 21.
Preschooler and three other students detained by ICE, school district leader says
The detentions of Columbia Heights students come after weeks of heightened concern and enforcement presence near and on Twin Cities school property.

Yes it’s cold in Minnesota—but we embrace it. John and I were in Hastings with Mayor Fasbender for Hockey Day Minnesota to watch my alma mater, Wayzata High School, take on Rogers. Photo taken with parents right after their son scored a goal!

The incredibly lukewarm Democratic response on Greenland is being noticed in Europe, incidentally.

Want to stop deepfake exploitation?

Promise you the companies would solve the problem pretty quickly

See I think it’s great that Gavin Newsom did a podcast with Ben Shapiro.
It’s good to signal early that Newsom has awful political instincts and doesn’t have the juice.

Imagine doing a PhD in electricity, just so you knew how to blow up nuclear power plants and heavy water-producing facilities.
“I learned from them very early that what one does with Nazis is kill them... I am not a pacifist.”

When you get the reputation of being the guy with the encouraging words on New Year's Eve, it can start to come through as a little pressure -- what if the situation on the ground is worse than usual? what if people are more scared than they usually are, and with cause? what use are good vibes then?

2. What he says about climate is patently false (more on that later) but to the extent he's saying "politicians shouldn't do the right thing unless it's popular", I'd note only that that is a toddlers view of leadership. If the popular kids are mean, should you be mean?

Read the whole thing.
An issue we're seeing at all levels of university is that many students are simply refusing to do *anything*. They aren't reading the syllabus, aren't following assignment guidelines, aren't engaging with material, ignoring deadlines. And this might seem like old news, but it truly has ramped up.
