@smith.senate.gov please run for governor. This is such an important moment and Amy is not it. We need someone viable and able to protect us. Please run.

I don’t know where this is going but I hope it’s that he’s wearing a fedora now
While I had a brief trucker hat & flat cap period as a baby hipster, for the most part I've not been a hat guy. And the more I associated them w/ performative masculinity or follicle insecurity, the more I avoided them

But I've come around to hats as an accessory, but I've done it my way /

It seems all Kansas-issued trans drivers' licenses are invalid, effective tomorrow

It is now illegal for trans people to drive a car until they surrender their license at a DMV (that most will need to drive to) and have it reissued with the wrong gender marker

This was never about woman's sports

Hennepin County Sheriff Dawanna Witt collaborates with ICE. Sheriffs escorted and protected ICE in this action.
A judge has ordered the release of an 18-year-old who was detained by federal agents in a chaotic scene inside the Hennepin County Government Center last week.

DHS said that the woman CBP shot in the chest in Portland was “involved” in a gang shooting.

Her ~involvement~ was that suspected gang members sexually assaulted and robbed her.
After Border Patrol shot two people in Portland, DHS claimed they were "vicious gang members" tied to a past shooting.

But records I obtained reveal a US prosecutor has since directly contradicted DHS, saying, "We're not suggesting he is a gang member." My dive into how DHS' claims have collapsed:
DHS’s account of two Venezuelans shot by border patrol falls apart in court: ‘A smear campaign’
Immigration officials said agent shot two ‘vicious gang members’ in Portland, but records obtained by the Guardian reveal US prosecutor contradicted claims

Before speaking with two armed men at the Pretti vigil last night, a man approached & asked if I was going to tell the truth. I said yes. He told me how frustrated he was at the media & the harm it’s causing to his community.

I asked if he wanted to share words for the media on camera, & he did:

I’ve always wondering why they always do this. Why not just use water at least? It’s always so obviously empty there has to be an actual reason.
Ah, see, I work in more low-budget stuff but I make sure the cups and mugs people are drinking out of don’t have any liquid in them. It’s important that the cups and mugs are visibly too light and I care a lot about that so I make sure the vessels are pretty damn light to begin with.

I do okay.

This was Pritzker's calculation, too. If I order them to shoot and they don't, nobody really knows what day two of that looks like.

Nobody knows what day two looks like if they do, either.
Horrifying to realize that the reason that no blue state governor has activated that National Guard or local police force against the feds is literally, like - if you try to do that and the national guard or police doesn't listen to you or turns against you, you're not really governor any more

Jon Ross was stationed in El Paso, Texas from 2007 to 2015. The El Paso border patrol office was under review in 2010 to 2012 because they intentionally stood in front of vehicles to justify shooting. There were 62 accounts of border patrol officer standing in front of vehicles and shooting

okay but they literally issued a statement saying the exact opposite of that, @governorwalz.mn.gov

any word on that?

Genuinely can’t think of more quintessentially Minnesotan “Fuck you” than seeing a car stuck in the ice and not only refusing to help but actively mocking them.
This morning in Minneapolis, an ICE vehicle got stuck on an icy hill in a residential neighborhood. Agents had to push the vehicles out, some almost slipping in the ice themselves.
