These will absolutely be used against disabled children.

NEW: Flock has said for years that its cameras "cannot track individuals." We found the code for its new AI tool. It's preloaded w/ prompts like "Find me witness" & "find relatives." One tracks visitors of multiple hotels, another if you visit banks after midnight. www.wired.com/story/flock-...

Holy shit. Minnesota. Y'all. She flayed him.

Breaking News: President Trump has paused imposing new tariffs against Canada for three days, claiming a deal is near.

Jon Ossoff: “It was all a lie. They made you pay more for everything and took us to war on lies and spent most of last year trying to cover up for the world’s most famous pedophile while the crook president and his crook family raked in billions”

At no point have the CBS announcers talked about what the lynx have to do to close this game out. It's 80+% aces commentary. This is obnoxious.

Jewell Loyd mugs McBride to no call. Refs did everything they could to help the aces win this one.

Aja flopping flopping flopping.

It's fucking hilarious listening to the commentators talk about how the ACES are getting robbed by the refs. Shameless. Fucking shameless

@wnba.com refs cooking the books on this one. Absolutely transparently bad and obvious. Egregious. Fire yourself.

Aces getting a crazy good whistle

W’histle in effect tonight.

Aja has a god tier whistle. That was not a foul on Coffey.

Aces fans should cry harder about fouls. Bc it's totally not one sided in their favor egregiously right now.

This game is cooking. High level basketball happening.

A'ja Wilson scores on one end, Napheesa Collier scores on the other THIS IS THE FUN STUFF

In time honored Minnesota basketball tradition, Dorka has picked up the Gorgui Blue Plate Special. IYKYK.

It is 6-1 on foul calls and Tash just got mugged to no whistle.

Did not expect to tear up walking into the grocery store.

New: We pieced together dozens of violent incidents from the ICE agents seen in viral videos from Virginia this week. They've roamed across multiple states, but are most often working in Chicago. We also verified the identity of Martin Lagunas, the fed who pointed his gun at a woman on Monday:

NEW: U.S. courts will start publishing data on how many times the feds do wiretaps using spyware and hacking tools, starting in 2029. As of now, we knew the FBI and others used spyware, but we had no idea how many times that was happening. Change comes after several requests from Sen. Ron Wyden.

US courts will start publishing how often the government uses spyware | TechCrunch

The Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts told TechCrunch that it will start disclosing how many times judges authorized the use of spyware to wiretap suspected criminals.

1) MPD got a 22% raise in their latest contract. 2) MPD has apparently not managed to stay in budget for SEVEN YEARS. 3) They are blowing their budget by tens of millions of dollars a year. We are draining Minneapolis dry to pay for an MPD that refused to answer the phone all winter.

Question for the crowd: am I still Minnesotan if I eat my tuna hot dish with chopsticks?

Legal documents released today show federal law enforcement officials extensively surveilled public meetings and activists during the ICE surge, and created dossiers on political enemies. I've been busy, but will post some takeaways on this thread soon: (1) www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

Entrapment, you say?

The agents also found repeatedly that groups they visited like the Sunrise Movement were peaceful. But after the meeting ended, an undercover agent told an organizer he worked construction and would like to build items to assist with direct action protests and didn't mind being jailed. (3)

They genuinely believe their own bullshit that every protestor is paid. They can't fathom that cwe as a community stood up and said no and put our money, time, and bodies on the line to repudiate them. They truly believe they are some kind of not so silent majority.

MPR News@mprnews.org · 6d ago

Defense attorney Kevin Riach alleges that just four days after Alex Pretti was killed by federal agents, Homeland Security Investigations launched something called Operation Puppet Master. The agency couched this program in language about rooting out people they describe as “violent opportunists.”

I'll add to the pile on: this is a state people tattoo on their bodies they love living here so much. We have like 6 stores selling Minnesota tcotchkies in the MOA. You don't shit on the state you want to win.
