JUST IN: Former "Broadview Six" defendants seek special counsel to investigate, and possibly prosecute, Chicago U.S. Attorney's Office officials for criminal contempt. Full filing: cst.brightspotcdn.com/ca/86/6e85af...

There is complete industry consensus on this. Every reputable cryptographer on the planet agrees: Signal’s cryptographic protocols are the most secure in class. Period. Just because your father's brother's nephew's cousin's former roommate told you otherwise doesn’t make it true

deeply disinterested in security culture hot takes from people who were never realistically under attack in the first place

ALERT 🚨 Federal agents are being seen across our community as they arrest observers. Let me be clear, alerting our neighbors about ICE activity is not a crime, observing is not a crime, and loving your immigrant neighbors is not a crime. 1/

You don't have to answer the door for the Feds. Do not voluntarily talk to the Feds. If they have a warrant signed by an actual judge, then they can do precisely what the warrant says. But DO NOT TALK TO THE FEDS. Do not answer the door. If you're arrested, your only words are "I want a lawyer."

oh my god YES PLEASE

ICE observers in Minneapolis have begun receiving visits from FBI agents sent to intimidate them. A close friend-combat vet, mother, no criminal record-who was a volunteer observer during the ICE crisis, had a visit and was threatened for taking photos and videoed, claiming that filming was illegal.

ICE is attacking Bemidji. I hope outstate Minnesota understands the assignment.

20 minutes after ICE shot and killed Renee Good, they gave MPD orders to "hold the perimeter." ICE told MPD they would gather their own evidence. MPD held the perimeter for ICE's crime scene. And then let ICE and evidence leave. And they did it again. And again. by-design.ghost.io/ice-said-it-...

GEO Group, a private prison company, signed a contract to give ICE use of Delaney Hall and “support services” like security, maintenance, food services, etc. in exchange for over $60 mil/yr But it is the detainees—not GEO Group—who actually do that work, for free ballsandstrikes.org/law-politics...

New from us at MPR:

'ooOOooh our AI systems are so good they're scary' is an advertisement designed to keep the hype up. it is entirely untrue. no large language model is any more conscious than a calculator, and they will never get any closer

Ted Chiang is brilliant. He takes the question of AI consciousness to its logical conclusion—really a must-read, right down to the last word: www.theatlantic.com/philosophy/2...

my resume: doesn’t know programming but will build a highly functional database out of whatever god awful software you saddle me with

No one has ever tried harder to make fetch happen. Every one of these articles reads like someone with a gun to their head wrote it

It’s the first anniversary of the Lake Street raid that kicked off the ICE incursion into Minnesota. Feds from multiple agencies — a precursor to ICE‘s siege — stormed a business claiming a drug investigation. Protesters arrested, some later on video evidence. 1/x www.mprnews.org/story/2025/0...

It’s early, but still safe to say that this is one of the most important articles about constitutional law that will be published this year, and I wouldn’t be surprised if it ends up being the most, full stop. yalelawjournal.org/feature/the-...

i tend to get along better with transplants than lifelong minnesotans, but that’s just a proxy. i think the differentiator is whether one feels like they have a geographic home, and whether that home is here. i relate best to people who are actively building their sense of home.

Join us at the Uptown VFW tomorrow (Monday) at 6pm to show support for bike and bus lanes on Lyndale. There are so many more of us than there are of them.

after all these years and I still can't fully wrap my head around the savagery of the Assad regime

This is a big deal. Hopefully this leads to better care for people with PMOS (Shout out to @slooterman.bsky.social 19thnews.org/2026/05/pcos...

NEW: A lot of bad has happened to American science over the last year but nothing comes even close to what’s about to happen if we don’t speak out in opposition to the OMB rule changes and I hope @aaas-socsci.bsky.social @apsphysics.bsky.social and others will launch public campaigns about this. 🧪🔭⚛️

I’ve been saying this since I returned to the country six years ago and it’s been an ongoing discussion amongst antifascist lawyers for much longer than that relying on a 250 year old document is not a good way to run a modern democratic system mini 🧵 because i could literally write a dissertation

so much love and solidarity to the protestors enduring violent attacks and arrests at delaney hall in newark. ❤️‍🔥

They’re going to start arresting attorneys who defend immigrants.

Jacob Frey and Star Tribune leadership worked incredibly hard to kill this story for over a year to cover up Frey deleting his texts after the shooting of Davis Moturi and ICE's Lake Street raid on June 3rd. O'Hara deleting his texts was learned from his boss. www.startribune.com/mayor-jacob-...

This morning, we held a joint Audit Committee and Minneapolis City Council meeting regarding the after action reviews to assess the City of Minneapolis’ handling of the shooting of Davis Moturi & the death of Allison Lussier.  The findings from today’s after action reviews are deeply troubling. 1/

trans people: people regularly treat us like shit cis allies: you need to fight back. punch them! commit felonies! not me though. imma stay safe

friday long weekends are elite. monday long weekends have me confused for DAYS

"There is no thriving Uptown without its artists and workers, and these people deserve to be a part of a neighborhood where they can afford to live on minimum wage." YES. we have been been squeezing out the soul of uptown as we price these people out!

"As Black people we ask, “Nixolisa ngani?” (With what are you apologizing?). The material makes manifest the spirit of intent. Reparations enflesh the spirit of atonement. This is a question that demands that our enslavers & colonizers open their hands and show us the substance of their apologies."

india is currently 11 YEARS behind for eb-3 priority. this means that many “skilled workers” who were eligible to apply for green cards in 2015 are still waiting in the queue, mostly trapped in increasingly restrictive h-type visas. and they’re the lucky ones! this policy is such a disaster.

i feel this too. there are spots where the screams feel etched into the earth. my neighbors’ lives were violently and irrevocably shattered here. and time just goes on.

Sounds like things are not going well in Orange County, California, where 10,000 people have been told to evacuate because of a toxic chemical leak at the GKN Aerospace facility.

this is, yes, a very specific message to a very specific group of cis people but hey we are overrepresented on this app so: when your otherwise well-meaning friends say they don't understand being trans the answer is "you don't have to"

And that's that. Judge Reed O' Connor now has in his possession the medical records of countless trans youth in Rhode Island that includes everything from private therapy notes detailing every aspect of their lives to their prescriptions and diagnoses.
