Rumors, worries, and sleeplessness

From around town:

• Minneapolis Public School District issued a statement on false statements that occupiers are using district vehicles.
• Minnesota Reformer writes how First Amendment lawyers say ICE observers are protected. Noam, Homan, J.D. Vance, and Trump have claimed otherwise and have issued various threats in an attempt to cool protected behavior. Longtime protestors know that merely bringing a suit can be damaging even ruled in the protestor’s favor.
• Tom Homan signals the beatings will continue until morale improves.
• A thread on BlueSky sums up the current mood in Minneapolis.
• MS Now has an opinion piece, Protesting is only a small part of the Minneapolis resistance.
• The Guardian on how nothing has changed despite de-escalation promises.

The times are too interesting:

• The Verge – normally a fluffy Tech news site – compared several gas masks. What a world we live in now.

Something lighthearted:

• Tiff and Eve posted an extremely relatable comic complete with a very Midwestern Dad asking very Midwestern things.
