We’re going to lose HCMC and City core services while cops hand the City Council a crinkled note saying the dog ate their homework when asked to justify the insane overtime expenditures.

The data points coming out of MPD include a lot of talk about recruiting classes and overtime, but they seem to be hiding the ball when it comes to how many active patrol officers they have at the moment. Appears as if the overtime is as much due to attrition as it is to ICE.

At the Guthrie and the Children’s Theatre, ‘play’ is onstage - MinnPost From building forts to solving mysteries, audiences can expect playful delight as part of the theatrical experience.

A week ago, the ACLU got DHS officials to admit on record that there would be an additional 407 agents throughout March on top of the 150 CBP agents we would normally have here.

The idea that we are down to pre-surge levels is a lie that needs to be corrected for the country. We are still occupied.

What's scary about this story is the surveillance it hints at. This trans woman had changed her name, legally, but chose not to change her gender marker. She was apparently flagged in the DMV system as trans and her license was invalidated under a law that supposedly only concerned gender markers.
