Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey said there were credible reports that as many as 100 federal agents will be deployed to the Twin Cities “with a specific focus on targeting our Somali community.”

Minneapolis Police Chief O'Hara notes the MPD will not work with federal agents & says "In moments like this, I know how real the fear is in our community. People are going to want to speak out, protest, & exercise their 1st Amendment rights. We will absolutely defend people's right to do just that"

The piece also oozes with the implication that "real" disabilities--the kind the ADA is "supposed to be for"--are physical, visible ones, and everyone else is probably faking. It's just gross.

Even by the standards of The Atlantic, this is an extraordinarily weak evidence base for an article.

She has cancer. The fact he is making himself out to be the victim.
Unable to carry a child naturally. Cannot afford a surrogate and under pressure 31-F, 32-M Before I met my boyfriend, he went through a very complicated situation with his ex-wife. She had a miscarriage or an abortion, but he was never sure if the baby was his because she had been cheating. Another man even showed up at the hospital while it was happening and handed my boyfriend a box of condoms with a note telling him to tell his wife to use them next time. Later on, he got a tattoo with the date of that pregnancy loss and even built his business around that same date. IG & Threads: @ask When we started dating, I already had a six-year-old daughter. Our relationship was okay, but I often felt like I was competing with his past because he would talk about his marriage to his ex as if it had been perfect. I also felt a lot of pressure to have a baby with him. I did want another child, so I started tracking my ovulation and drinking fertility teas. Eventually, I did get pregnant, but I had a very traumatic miscarriage on Christmas Day. I lost so much blood that it scared me. Around that same time, I had found a lump in my breast. I put off my mammogram because thought the lump had something to do with the pregnancy. When the breast cancer center called to ask why I missed the appointment, I explained that I had been pregnant. They rescheduled me, and that is when I found out I had breast cancer. All of this happened one after the other. The miscarriage. The cancer diagnosis. And before starting treatment, I had the option to create embryos, so I did. It was expensive, even with insurance helping. Now, three years later, things have changed even more. I found out I carry the BRCA2 gene, and I had to have my ovaries removed. My doctors told me it is not safe for me to carry a pregnancy. The only way to use my embryos would be through surrogacy, but the cost is around one hundred thousand dollars, and that is something we simply cannot afford. IG & Threads. @ This past weekend, we were with my family, including my two baby nieces. My boyfriend kept talking about how hard it is for him to be around children who would be the same age as the one he lost. He also told me that I get to come home and hear someone call me Mom, but he may never get the chance to hear someone call him Dad. I am sharing all of this because I am looking for advice on how to deal with these emotions, what this means for our relationship, and how to handle the pressure and sadness we both feel about having a child. How would you navigate this situation

Would it be surprising this was written by a broke 39 year old man who's own father warned his former girlfriend he was using her?
What happened to women? Dating At this point all men we should all gather together and make a global funeral for all women. They are fucked up beyong repair and however they want to sugarcoat it they are fucked up beyond repair. They are the first victims in this modern world and they don't even have the capacity to acknowledge it. The morals of the last generations that raised families without any of that crap are gone. Even their - spoke persons, their leaders- like YouTube lady gurus which is their experts are fucked up beyond return. They have come to the point to present all the wrong values like good thing. Lack of commitment is now 'you are They are all fucking 20 guys from highschool now, burn their virginity to the ground and it's our fault that are are not 'exciting' and 'masculine'. Guys that go with commitments and loyalty and respect are the boring ones now. Guys who promote stability, the very essence of what a home and a family needs, are the boring ones. Lesbian feminine movements have stripped the very last essence of what women should be and behave based on our Creator. Our God in heaven. Men should respect their man and not be adrenaline seeking monkeys. They are in the last stages of life just like a dying person has hallucinations. They all died. We men If you lucky enough to find a woman that has the good in her heart and is also an adult virgin and you love her and protect her and acknowledged it you are lucky. And as long she is intelligent enough to not be destroyed by the following parade of: fake priests, psychologists, shitty female friends. These always alter the minds of healthy women to go and do shit that destroy marriages. They all died at highschool when they gave their virginity to five, ten guys and now they are in the ER dying and hallucinating that we are the boring ones. Men stop being clowns for them. They are dead anyways. Been broke for many years looking for job as WordPress dev Income/Employment/Aid Looking to work remotelly as a WordPress dev. OP 9h Yes they are with non of that shit. That is proof that women are into a false belief system that is not reflecting world history and Gods command. Every relationship has a middleman nowdays? 39M I see a pattern.

96% of the highest-paid workers in the US have paid sick days.

Just 38% of the lowest-paid workers get them — including the thousands of retail workers working this holiday weekend.

Only in America do we call working people ‘essential’ but deny them paid sick leave.

​Car brain is seeing an empty bike lane and calling it a failure, while seeing a gridlocked road and calling it high demand.

​Efficiency looks empty because people are moving, not sitting in traffic. If a bike lane is truly unused, it's usually because the network is hostile and disconnected.

Bus and bike lanes discriminate against families for whom public transportation is not an option.
Please don't add things we don't want or need. Bus and bike lanes aren't helpful and discriminate against families for whom public transportation is not an option. I drive past empty bike lanes on a regular basis. There are other ways to help the environment and improve our community that don't harm thousands of residents.
