We published this story late Friday afternoon amid an avalanche of news so I’m reposting it now because Kohen Wiley’s life mattered more than a box of diapers.
So @lilianasegura.bsky.social and I just co-wrote a piece about the bodycam footage in the Kohan Wiley case. theintercept.com/2026/10/23/k...

Dictator shit. And Omar is very clearly being targeted out of all of Trump's prominent domestic critics because of her race.
WSJ: 'The Trump administration’s investigation into Rep. Ilhan Omar is aimed at building a case to strip her of her U.S. citizenship and ultimately deport her, according to U.S. officials and other people familiar with the probe'

NEW! How MPD Built a Police Surveillance Operation Around Renee Good’s Memorial — and What It Cost the Community MPD dedicated 101 personnel to a memorial deployment where just seven people were holding vigil. It was part of a four-day MPD operation that generated $1.92 million in overtime.

Before the Avandale Apartments were built on Selby, that parcel generated $871,157 in tax value per acre. After: $26.1 million. A thirty-fold jump on a single lot. Luke Hanson on why Saint Paul cannot budget-cut its way out of a $26M deficit, and what has to change.

This administration sent a lawfully present immigrant, who has broken absolutely zero laws, to GUANTANAMO BAY because he's Black. There's literally no other reason. I'm out of words. This entire administration is lawless and corrupt. www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...
“Political parties should flush their principles down the toilet and stand with people knee-deep in prejudice and bigotry.” Yeah no thanks
Why the Democrats became “ride or die” with transgender people will be one of the great mysteries of life. Because it only has been political suicide in most parts of the country. I like Rob Sands. We need more people like him in the party. A lot more. www.kcrg.com/2025/06/26/r...

A Stillwater woman archived the art that emerged during the federal immigration enforcement surge. Months later, she has created a 250-page-coffee table book with 300 local, national and international artists. Over 1,225 physical copies and 59 e-books have been preordered.

This is absolutely WILD. Here's the dashboard video posted by @fritschner.bsky.social. Fast forward to about 1 minute. An ICE officer jumps out of a van and pulls a gun on this woman immediately before lying and claiming she "almost ran us over." *profanity warning if watching in public.
Video of an ICE agent pulling a gun on a wife and mother, who is a US citizen born and raised in the area, near Bailey's Crossroads in Northern Virginia yesterday. Chillingly, they claimed she “almost ran them over” until she told them she had video proving that was a lie.

The top 10% of richest Americans own 87% of stocks. The top 1% alone own roughly half of all stocks. It's worth pointing out once again: the stock market is not the economy.

A Senate candidate talking about the Powell memo???? Pinch me, am I dreaming????
James Talarico: 50 years ago, a corporate lawyer named Lewis Powell circulated a memo around DC — a blueprint for how corporations could amass political power, reverse the gains of the Great Society and the New Deal, and rig the system for themselves. And it worked.

Wasting billions of our taxpayer money in order to make our electric bills higher? Well, that's just the proven brilliance of the Businessman President™ folks.
$4 BILLION. That’s how much the Trump Administration has now spent paying companies to cancel offshore wind projects that would have lowered your electric bill. Yes, you heard that right: they are PAYING to keep more energy off the grid and your bills higher.
Cool cool so this means judges can automatically decide against ICE when footage is withheld, right? Since the act of withholding the footage is basically an admission of ICE’s guilt and/or the other party’s innocence? So nice of ICE to make it crystal clear, at least in the court of public opinion.
ICE is planning to make sure field agents have body cams by the end of September. But its policy to only release footage that is in the agency’s “best interest” means taxpayers may be paying millions for cameras without benefitting from their oversight. apnews.com/article/ice-...

I check Facebook 1-2x a month for family stuff. Turns out a few days ago my dad made a long post begging for understanding about trans people by his fellow boomers. Last paragraphs are below. Dad doesn’t always get it 100% right. He doesn’t need to. He loves and defends me; that’s all that matters
Another piece of evidence that the ICE operations are about racism, not law and order. This story and others in the article are heartbreaking.
During Operation Metro Surge, ICE arrested at least 75 people who had been granted protections from deportation because they were victims of, or witnesses to, serious crimes. The youngest was six years old. And that number is likely a significant undercount.

Well, so much for that. It seems bulldozers have arrived on site and have been seen destroying vegetation.
This is a disgrace. A border wall will just destroy the nature and wildlife of Big Bend — it won't make anyone more safe or more free. Democrats and Republicans agree: Trump needs to leave Big Bend alone.

BREAKING — Another person died at Delaney Hall. The family of Edwin Lopez Cornejo (age 39) said he was not receiving the medications required to treat his diabetes, and blames his death on the lack of medical care (via USA Today). www.usatoday.com/story/news/n...

44,000 deaths per year from car violence, but yeah, let's put human-scaled mobility under the microscope. If you have a "problem" with bikes, it's because you're forcing them into the margins with pedestrians instead of reallocating space away from cars.
Every New Yorker deserves to move around our city freely and safely, regardless of how they get around. That’s why the NYC Council is launching a comprehensive review of where existing laws can be stronger enforced, and what additional solutions are needed to keep New Yorkers safe.

So, this quote is from me and, after we both sensed the reporter didn't like my full answer, I literally joked with my partner that this would be the only part he'd use! 😂 The reporter was stopping folks walking down Hennepin in front of Reign Saturday. The full context of my statement: 1/5
After a shooting outside a Minneapolis nightclub last week, police are ramping up safety measures in Uptown.
I’ve known Rep. Pursell for many years. She is the real deal - smart, caring, and fearless. If you’re a Carleton College or St. Olaf College student, she is your rep for district 58A! Re-elect Kristi!
4. SW Metro: Brad Tabke and Lucy Rehm. 5. Northern MN: Grant Hauschild and Aaron Schweiger 6. Southern MN: Leah Hanson and Kristi Pursell 7. Western MN: Join the closer of Aric Putnam or Rob Kupec. We can hold the senate, pull the house out of a tie, and elect pro-equality leaders. Let's do it.

Nobody disputes that having access to a car in a car-dominated society is good. It gives one access to jobs, healthcare, food, education, social opportunities and more. All we're asking is for people to go one step deeper and ask why access to such basic rights requires buying and operating a car.
I grew up in Jackson Heights in Queens and we still had a car, and our lives got measurably better when we did.

This is why the @cityofsaintpaul.bsky.social needs to implement the approved Summit Ave. Reg. Trail plan, plus other protected bike infra laid out in the bike plan. It’s an equity issue: Many people bike because they don’t have a car (e.g., youth, people w/low incomes) and all deserve to be safe.
Yup- always the balance of “do I bike out closer to traffic to avoid the doors, or closer to the parked cars to avoid the traffic and risk the door. Why protected bike lanes/paths are so important
