A U.S. citizen on her way to a medical appointment in Minneapolis
was dragged out of her car and detained by immigration officers,
according to a statement released by the woman on Thursday,
after a video of her arrest drew millions of views on social media.#Aliya #Rahman said she was brought to a detention center where she was
denied medical care and lost consciousness.The Department of Homeland Security said she was an agitator who was obstructing ICE agents conducting arrests in the area.
That video is the latest in a deluge of online content that documents an intensifying immigration crackdown across the midwestern city,
as thousands of federal agents execute arrests amid protests in what local officials have likened to a “federal invasion.”Dragged from her car
Rahman said that she was on her way to a routine appointment at the Traumatic Brain Injury Center
when she encountered federal immigration agents at an intersection.Video appears to show federal immigration agents shouting commands over a cacophony of whistles, car horns and screams from protesters.
In the video, one masked agent smashes Rahman’s passenger side window
while others cut her seatbelt and drag her out of the car through the driver’s side door.Numerous guards then carried her by her arms and legs towards an ICE vehicle
"I’m disabled trying to go to the doctor up there,
that’s why I didn’t move,”
Rahman said, gesturing down the street as officers pulled her arms behind her back.Rahman was caught in a “terrible and confusing position”
and had
“no where to go,”
according to Alexa Van Brunt,
Rahman’s attorney and director of the MacArthur Justice Center.“Her only options were to move her car forward in the direction of ICE officers and risk being accused of trying to harm them
—which led to Renee Good’s death
—or stay stationary,
which in the end led to physical violence and abuse,”

Weekend storms kill 22 as severe weather heads toward East Coast
Swarms of #tornadoes tore through the southern Plains, Ozarks, Tennessee Valley and Mid-Atlantic on Saturday and Sunday,
claiming at least 22 lives and causing widespread damage.The storms were continuing east into Memorial Day, with additional severe storms possible along the East Coast,
while Texas braced for storms containing large, damaging #hail.
Hardest hit over the weekend were Arkansas, Oklahoma, Missouri and Kentucky,
where multiple “large and extremely dangerous tornadoes” carved paths of damage.A #dire tornado #emergency
— in essence the highest-tier tornado warning that the National Weather Service can issue
— was hoisted in Caldwell, Hopkins and Lyon Counties, Kentucky on Sunday evening.Four storm-related deaths were confirmed in the Bluegrass State.

The resignations by DoJ attorneys came as a result of a push by top Justice Department officials to investigate #Good’s #widow,
a move that has sparked outrage over the seeming mission to punish a family already grieving the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent’s💥 brutal and public killing of Good.
They also come after the DOJ has decided ❌ NOT to investigate Good’s killer,
#Jonathan #Ross.Last week, Trump appointee
#Harmeet #Dhillon,
the assistant attorney general for civil rights,
informed the unit it would not be investigating Ross.This week, Deputy Attorney General
#Todd #Blanche
— a Trump appointee who represented the president during his New York criminal trial
— said that there is 💥“no basis” to open an investigation into Ross.The administration has mounted an
all-out effort to shield the ICE agent from any form of accountability,
🔥spreading lie after lie about Good and the circumstances surrounding her killing.Among other things, the DOJ’s push will disrupt key fraud investigations in Minnesota.
Thompson and other prosecutors who stepped down in the Minnesota office were key figures in these probes of fraud that the Trump administration has claimed it’s cracking down on
— but has rather been seemingly using as
an excuse to eliminate and suspend
child care benefits in states that voted against him in the presidential election.⚠️ The DOJ has opened an investigation into Good and her widow to probe possible connections to activist groups opposing Trump’s immigration raids.
🆘 Meanwhile, the FBI has assumed sole responsibility for the investigation into Ross,
and has cut out local prosecutors from being able to access information key to the case.Federal agents’ violence has continued unchecked.
⭐️Activists said that a federal agent shot an activist in the face with a
“less lethal” weapon in the Los Angeles area on Friday
while he was engaged in a protest.The activist went to the hospital, and
⛔️is
now blind in one eye as a result of the incident, he said.https://truthout.org/articles/doj-push-to-investigate-renee-goods-widow-sparks-mass-resignation/

Missing in the wild,
praying for survivalJohn's advice to fellow hikers now?
"Leave a #message in the front of your car on your dashboard saying where you've gone walking, as well as having #told somebody... how long the walk is likely to last," he said.
"Have another method of navigation... I would strongly recommend to people having a #GPS device with a full scale map of the area that you're walking in."
Ian added: "Just go with #orange [clothing]. You look a little bit louder down the high street, but you're easy to find."
Anyone who finds themselves in need of assistance in the hills or outdoor spaces, or who is concerned for someone who has not returned from a walk, should call #999 [911 in the U.S,] and ask for the police and then mountain rescuehttps://www.bbc.co.uk/news/extra/qxsmv10bx7/missing-in-the-wild-and-praying-for-survival

Until Sen. Bernie Sanders began holding rallies in Republican-held districts to address DOGE’s destructive impact on federal workers and programs,
most progressives had not dared to dream of rural America as fertile ground for a backlash.
But it’s central to the concept of the "Rural Urban Bridge Initiative" ( #RUBI ),
a group determined to breathe new life into rural organizing strategies.Conceived in early 2020 by
#Anthony #Flaccavento, a small farmer, former Democratic congressional candidate,
and community organizer in southern Virginia, and
#Erica #Etelson,
a political writer and former public-interest attorney based in California,
-- RUBI is kindling a new way to approach -- and ultimately advance -- rural concerns within the progressive movement.Through training sessions,
reports from local experts,
policy development,
and traditional volunteer work,
RUBI hopes to #depolarize rural politics and persuade other activist groups to #engage in good faith with the needs, fears, and aspirations of rural communities.RUBI’s most prominent effort to date is its campaign to convince the "Democratic National Committee" and the broader fundraising network on the left
👉to devote substantially more resources to rural causes.Since #Ken #Martin, chair of the "Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party",
was elected in February to head the DNC,
RUBI has lobbied him to allocate $400 million
—10 percent of the Democratic ad buy for the 2024 general election
—toward rural districts and candidates.Although RUBI has yet to secure Martin’s commitment,
co-signatories to the public letter include Rep. #Ro #Khanna (D-CA),
author and sociologist #Arlie #Hochschild,
veteran Texas populist #Jim #Hightower,
two state party chairs
and dozens of county committees,
and scores of other individuals and organizations
alarmed by Democratic decline in rural areas.✅ Rural strategists hope to change the narrative and trajectory of American politics by transforming the everyday ways progressives think of and relate to left-behind Americans.
Regardless of the DNC’s final decision,
the campaign testifies to the perseverance of rural progressive populism.It reflects, too, a growing recognition on the part of local groups committed to the welfare of rural workers
-- that they are not isolated in their anger over how national Democrats have burned through billions of dollars in the last several election cycles without improving their position in a single “purple” state.🆘During Barack Obama’s presidency, Democrats lost well over a thousand congressional, statewide, and local down-ballot offices.
Tentative gains in critical presidential swing states since 2018 have been largely offset by Trump’s comeback;
-- He won all seven in November.Other states where Democrats used to be competitive across the board,
such as Florida and Ohio,
are poised to go the way of Missouri, Indiana, and Arkansas.A recent study from the "Carsey School of Public Policy" at the University of New Hampshire suggests that
💯a shift among rural voters to Kamala Harris of just 3 percent could have led her to victory over Donald Trump.👍If even just a few dozen rural Democrats from the South and Midwest won back offices controlled by the GOP,
there could be a tectonic shift in how the party competes at the gubernatorial, congressional, and presidential levels.As RUBI’s founders know well,
it is a herculean task just to get the party elite to admit the main facts
—that austerity, trade shocks, and monopoly power have distressed rural America
—much less own their own culpability in these issues.But although it is tempting to place all the blame on party elites, the same, unfortunately, can often be said of the major progressive groups that have cropped up since the Bush years,
Flaccavento argues.The overriding focus,
he says, on
“call[ing] out how horrible the Republicans are 24/7”
has left little energy to discuss what matters to rural folks:
👉“jobs, employment, the economy, livelihoods, manufacturing, trade policy, [and] antitrust.”🔥This, then, is how rural strategists hope to change the narrative and trajectory of American politics:
not through conferences, white papers, and viral media,
⭐️but by transforming the everyday ways progressives think of and relate to left-behind Americans.

Days of demonstrations against immigration agents left Minnesota tense on Tuesday,
a day after federal authorities used #tear #gas to break up crowds of whistle-blowing activists
and state and local leaders #sued to fight the enforcement surge that led to the fatal shooting of a Minneapolis woman.
Agents fired tear gas in Minneapolis as a crowd gathered around immigration officers questioning a man,
while to the northwest in St. Cloud hundreds of people protested outside a strip of #Somali-run businesses after #CE officers arrived.
With the Department of Homeland Security pledging to send 💥more than 2,000 immigration officers into Minnesota in what Immigration and Customs Enforcement has called its 💥largest enforcement operation ever,
the state, joined by Minneapolis and St. Paul, sued the Trump administration Monday to try to halt or limit the surge.

Along with the tech-centric WhatsApp groups Krishnan had organized out of a16z,
Andreessen joined a slew of others,
including ones that Torenberg set up for tech founders and for more political discussions.The tech chats tended to be on WhatsApp and the political ones on Signal, which is more fully encrypted,
and they had different settings.(“Every group chat ends up being about memes and humor and the goal of the group chat is to get as close to the line of being actually objectionable without tripping it,” Andreessen told Fridman.
“People will set to 5 minutes before they send something particularly inflammatory.“)
After a group of liberal intellectuals published a letter in Harper’s on July 7, 2020, some of its signers were invited to join a Signal group called “Everything Is Fine.”
There, writers including #Kmele #Foster, who co-hosts the podcast
"The Fifth Column", Persuasion founder #Yascha #Mounk, and the Harper’s letter contributor Williams joined Andreessen and a group that also included the anti-woke conservative activist #Chris #Rufo.The new participants were charmed by Andreessen’s engagement:
“He was the most available, the most present, the most texting of anybody in the group
— which shocked me because it seemed like he was the most important person in the group,” one said.But the center didn’t hold.
The liberal Harper’s types were surprised to find what one described an
“illiberal worldview” among tech figures more concerned with power than speech.The conservatives found the liberal intellectuals tiresome, committed to what Rufo described to me as “infinite discourse” over action.
The breaking point came on July 5, 2021, when Foster and Williams,
along with the never-Trump conservative #David #French and the liberal academic #Jason #Stanley,
wrote a New York Times op-ed criticizing new laws against teaching “critical race theory.”“Even if this censorship is legal in the narrow context of public primary and secondary education,
it is antithetical to educating students in the culture of American free expression,”
they wrote.The conservatives had thought the Harper’s letter writers were their allies in an all-out ideological battle,
and considered their position a betrayal.Andreessen “went really ballistic in a quite personal way at Thomas,”
a participant recalled.The group ended after Andreessen “wrote something along the lines of
‘thank you everybody, I think it’s time to take a Signal break,’” another said.The meltdown of this liberal-tech alliance was, to #Rufo, a healthy development.
“A lot of these technologists hoped that the centrist path was a viable one, because it would permit them in theory to change the culture without having to expose themselves to the risk of becoming partisans,”
he said.“By 2021, the smartest people in tech understood that these people were a dead end
— so the group chats exploded and reformulated on more explicitly political lines.”Rufo had been there all along:
“I looked at these chats as a good investment of my time to radicalize tech elites who I thought were the most likely and high-impact new coalition partners for the right.”#MarcAndreessen #LexFridman

The New Hampshire attorney general’s office on Monday said it was investigating reports of an apparent #robocall that used #AI to mimic President Joe Biden’s voice and #discourage #voters in the state from coming to the polls during Tuesday’s primary election.
Attorney General John Formella said the recorded message, which was sent to multiple voters on Sunday, appears to be an #illegal attempt to disrupt and #suppress voting. He said voters “should disregard the contents of this message entirely.”
A recording of the call reviewed by The Associated Press generates a voice similar to Biden’s and employs his often-used phrase, “What a bunch of malarkey.” It then tells the listener to “save your vote for the November election.”

Many Republicans don’t align with new messages at GOP convention
Monday’s program was chock full of efforts to reach groups that don’t generally align with Republicans,
from Latino and Black voters to union members.But the messages used to accomplish that task were often discordant —
with Trump’s usual mien,
with one another,
with those of the party’s base.And while the party has become defined much more by “Trump” than any set of policies,
that can’t help but create some tensions.The big one Monday concerned the party’s increasingly #isolationist posture.
After Trump picked as his running mate one of the most prominent skeptics of Ukraine aid, Sen. J.D. Vance of Ohio,
— Vance once said he didn’t “really care” what happened to Ukraine
— a succession of speakers delivered remarks in that vein. Rep. Marjorie Taylor #Greene (Ga.) 🔸criticized aid to “foreign nations,”while tech investor David #Sacks ♦️blamed the U.S. government for provoking Russia’s invasion of Ukraine by pushing NATO expansion.♦️
While much of the GOP base is skeptical of Ukraine aid,
a healthy segment of it remains #hawkish on the war.Recent polling shows more than 4 in 10 Republicans believe that the amount of aid to Ukraine has been not enough or “about right.”
After the most recent Ukraine aid package passed, a poll showed Republicans leaned against it, but not a majority or even by a huge margin.
While 44 percent opposed the aid, 30 percent supported it.
And in contrast to Sacks’s comment, a Chicago Council of Global Affairs poll last year showed 🔹fewer than four in 10 Republicans blamed either NATO (37 percent) or the United States (32 percent) for Russia’s invasion. 🔹
Republicans also still lean in favor of NATO and even Ukraine’s membership in it.
The messages are also somewhat at odds with Trump himself.While he has projected skepticism about Ukraine aid, he didn’t really fight the most recent package, and he has said that Ukraine’s survival is “important to us!”
