Hennepin County Attorney debuts new evidence portal. Submit evidence you may have of federal agents conducting lawless rampages.

Note: this is different from the now-closed portal for evidence related to the Renee Good and Alex Pretti murders.

How PokΓ©mon’s Accessible Design Has Kept Me Playing Across Three Decades - IGN In honor of PokΓ©mon’s 30th anniversary, we explore how its relatively consistent approach to accessibility has made it a comfort play.

Today marks the 30th anniversary of the PokΓ©mon franchise. This series has been my constant comfort series, offered the most accessible games, and even helped launch my career as a disability reporter. Read my latest Access Designed for @ign.com here:

I've reported 2-3 stories in my career that have sucked the spirit out of my body and this was one of them. But! Seeing the response of the fgc to help their brother genuinely put it right back. Im humbled to have been trusted with this. Help your neighbors friends those in need are all around you.

What do you want to see from Gen 10? I asked the biggest PokΓ©mon fans I know Voice acting, more dynamic battles, and the return of proper ruins are just some hopes for the 10th generation of PokΓ©mon.

There's now less than 24 hours to go until PokΓ©mon Presents, and the likely reveal of Gen 10. Here's what the biggest PokΓ©mon fans in games media - including @hardykiwi.bsky.social, @pokachee.bsky.social, @gameovergreggy.bsky.social and @nicolecarpenter.bsky.social - want to see:

The pixel art on the DS was *chefs kiss* (I yearn for more pixelated Nintendo games but I am happy to replay the hits)

As a kid, I really wanted to take care of my Pokemon, β€” not just battle with them, β€” and exploring the world with Pokemon by my side in HG/SS made me so happy!

Heart Gold and Soul Silver really returned us to the Pokemon Yellow era and was a turning point in Pokemon because of the ways we saw pet sim mechanics included in mainline games from then on out.

I hate to be this bish because Leaf Green and Fire Red are excellent but I’m definitely a Heart Gold and Soul Silver kind of girly just because I love to see my Pokemon out and about with my character. I might just go replay those now if I want to replay an older Pokemon game.

What Gringos Might Have Missed About Bad Bunny’s Halftime Show The Puerto Rican rapper’s performance wasn’t a crossover event. It was something better.

idk but this country has worked pretty hard to make you feel fuckin miserable for being Latino so I’m still riding the high of one show reminding everyone that being Latine is one of the coolest things in the world

I’m really inspired by all the aid going toward paying rent but it’s really making me think rent shouldn’t really be a thing. πŸ€” Just another way the various crisis of capitalism (corporate land ownership and the police state) overlap and deprive people of their basic human needs. Just a thought!

I’m on the scene at Franklin and 1st. A convoy of about a couple dozen ICE/HSI agents broke the entryway into an apartment building at 6am. No warrant presented. Less than 24 hours ago, Tom Homan announced the end of large convoys in Minnesota… Bullshit.

One thing I think is important to remember is that it does not take many subscribers on the scale of things. Your money goes a lot farther when it goes directly toward the people making the work. You do not need 30 million readers and infinite growth.

Sick fourth-grader among 4 Columbia Heights students held by ICE Columbia Heights Public Schools says four students remain detained by ICE after Liam’s return, including 10-year-old Elizabeth, who has fallen ill.

Elizabeth is a Columbia Heights fourth-grader who loves volleyball, learning English and giggling in the halls with her friends. She's been held in the Dilley Immigration Processing Center for nearly a month, and she and her mom have both fallen ill. sahanjournal.com/education/co...
