In addition to having no experience in immigration, their website shows Ilya Shapiro (!) and disgraced former law prof Joshua Wright (!) as Senior Counsel. I don't think this massive contract was awarded to give immigrant children effective, zealous advocacy. burkegroup.law/our-team/

26-employee Texas law firm gets $150M to represent 24,000 children in immigration court

“Last winter, Minnesotans banded together and rejected the harm caused by ill-informed, unplanned and costly federal immigration overreach. As DHS takes steps to reopen Appleton as a federal facility, our response should remain the same: Minnesota is not the place for this.”

Biked 1 mile to coffee. Then biked another mile to the pharmacy. Then biked 1 mile home. 95% on protected (separated) bike infra. More Americans deserve the freedom of a life like this (if they want it).

Laura rides a bike on a protected bikelane. She has coffee on her handlebar mount and a front milk crate vasket. There are 2 other people on bikes in the background.

Already 2 hours late, today's Empire Builder has come to a complete stop for the second time in just a few minutes. This allows the engineer to disembark and hand throw the last switch needed to route them from the BNSF onto the Minnesota Commercial, which will take them to St Paul Union Depot.

A passenger train sits on a yard ladder. An angular GE P42DC leads it, painted silver and blue, with a red and blue Siemens ALC-42 behind it. The train is composed of one silver baggage car and 8 silver bilevel Superliner cars. The engineer of the train can be seen in hi-viz gear throwing a switch lever to route the train. The Minneapolis skyline is visible in the distance.

And one final shot, of the Empire Builder departing St Paul and passing Imniza Ska. Amtrak is making pretty quick progress painting Superliners in Phase VII, but the fleet is still pretty patchy.

The same passenger train, but from ground level. The silver passenger cars are painted in two different schemes, some with a solid blue stripe and others with multiple blue stripes. The baggage car still has faded red, white, and blue stripes. The train is passing under an old signal bridge, and a steep limestone bluff rises behind the train.
