First they came for my friends . . .
Update:
Katie just called me. She is being held by Homeland Security at the Whipple Federal Building down by the airport.
They have not told her anything. No word on release, no word on charges. Nothing. Ridiculous. But she is fine and in good spirits.
Her attorney is en route there right now.

Someone on the Minneapolis subreddit caught Waymos being delivered. We need the City Council need to ban the use of driverless cars. The technology isn't there. Our city cannot be a testing ground for 1.5 ton autonomous projectiles.

Chameleon played the Union Bar on this day in 1977. There’s conflicting info about whether Yanni had joined the band at this point, with the most authoritative sources indicating that he didn’t join until ‘81. Ad from the Twin Cities Reader.

If you are a parent of a kid in Minneapolis public schools, please, please, PLEASE take 2 minutes to email the school board ([email protected]) and superintendent ([email protected]) to tell them to settle with the educators' union and give them what they want. Your emails truly help!
