I didn't write this for people in the Twin Cities. I wrote this to everyone else, my feeble attempt to try to be witness to the occupation of Minnesota and the chaos of every single day right now. open.substack.com/pub/wburdine...

Oh hell no.
The state Bureau of Criminal Apprehension says they've been informed by the FBI that US DOJ has said FBI will solely lead the investigation into Renee Nicole Good's killing by a federal officer. State investigators no longer have access to "case materials, scene evidence/investigative interviews"

I ask this every now and then and I’ve yet to get a good answer.
How long does it take for people to realize they’re on the wrong side of history?

Oh. Starlight Tours are happening now.
ICE detain U.S. citizen for looking Somali—use illegal chokehold to tackle him to ground.
Man repeatedly begs agents to look at his digital passport ID—they refuse.
Drove him 7 miles away before releasing him alone into Minnesota snow storm—told him to "walk home" in freezing weather advisory.

I'll add that as someone who not that long ago spent many frantic nights looking for information on sleep training, feeding, etc etc--by far the most valuable internet resource was reddit, the only place with human advice. Everything else is basically useless at this point.
This entire grift relies on convincing people that they don't know how to do the things they have always known how to do, and ironically, if it works, we will, in a very short amount of time, forget how to do all the things we have always known how to do.

That was a less than ideal sequence of basketball. I would like the Dayton Flyers to not play like that anymore.

Oh really? TIL.
The Dayton Flyers lead #9 BYU 36-30 at halftime.
The Flyers nearly pulled away, but BYU continues to claw their way back to keep it within reach.
Javon Bennett has 17 points with 5 three-pointers already.
This would be a STATEMENT win for the Flyers.
