"This policy...has left untold numbers of disenfranchised voters in its wake and inflicted injuries to the Plaintiffs' privacy," the court wrote.

BREAKING: A pro-voting group is suing ICE for failing to respond to FOIA requests regarding the agency's increased involvement in investigating voter fraud.
The lawsuit comes after the group had already submitted multiple FOIA requests seeking documents that disclose those efforts.

Resistors report arrests and injuries, including being pushed into barbed wire. CBP confirmed that all four cottonwoods marked for removal there are now gone. Centuries of life destroyed for two parallel walls cutting through the borderlands. We’re heartbroken and we’re angry!

Local orgs are coordinating matching volunteer drivers with voters who need a ride to the polls. The biggest need is to reach people who need rides to let them know they can have a FREE, convenient, and safe ride to the polls.

So #MNUFC actually finished with more xG than Seattle last night, according to @futi.live, because - if I am reading this chart correctly - Maurice Malone’s missed chance was the first one in soccer history that was worth more than 1 xG

It would be great if all the anti-ICE crop art, fine art, and fiber arts and crafts pieces from the 2026 Fair could be gathered together for a combined free exhibit at the MIA. Select pieces would go to MN Historical Society.
People know about the crop art at the MN State Fair, but don't sleep on the fiber arts.
