After a trough of relatively less activity, that is fewer people calling me for help, I'm back up to 10 active habeas cases. I do not want to cause anyone undue alarm, but ICE has changed tactics and seems more likely to detain people when they go in for routine appointments with ICE.

FOX NEWS: How many deportations do we need to set this country's population back to where it's actually a country of legal citizens? TOM HOMAN: Millions. I think there are well over 20 million illegal aliens in the country. We're gonna do everything we can to arrest as many people as we can.

The strong focus on regular people doing community care in MN meant that our logistics were on point and contributed to an atmosphere that was largely pretty unfriendly to clout chasing, co-option, and macho bullshit. This was extremely refreshing and we all should do more of it

The vicious regime is the one that shot Renee Good in the head. Trump claimed Good behaved "horribly" and "violently, willfully, and viciously ran over the ICE officer" none of which happened. Her last words were “That's fine, dude. I'm not mad at you.”

I live in DT Mpls and don't own a car. I just did two errands, using first an Evie rental EV and then a Lime rental ebike, in a 45 min round trip; they would've taken at least 1.5 hrs by bus, probably closer to 2 hrs. Evie & Lime memberships are SO useful & should be even more accessible/affordable!

UBI is a just foundation for a society where everyone can have their basic needs met. UBI made a lot of sense before AI too. But AI only strengthens the case for a UBI even more. AI models are trained on data that we have collectively produced over the ages & its gains should flow back to all of us.
