Recent #Fed #Court ruling affects right of #HabeasCorpus claims and means #Minnesota's immigrants ensnared in #BorderPatrol detentions and sent enmasse to #Texas deportation centers have little chance of returning north.
#ICE claims to have detained 4,000 people in Minnesota since Operation Metro Surge began in December, and likely few will make it back from El Paso to face typical trials.

#FirstAmendment and #CopWatch advocates have condemned #Oakland #Police efforts to begin hiding their #radio communications with new #Encryption techniques which ends decades of public #transparency.
Well, the public access to cop communications continues, but now only because of #OPD technical trouble “working with a vendor” ...
Dozens of #LEO agencies had timed their scanners to go dark to the public throughout the #EastBay — the move by many scandal plagued regional #California #LawEnforcement agencies has been widely condemned by #OpenGov advocate groups.

#Newsom plan to #Gerrymander #California #voting districts in obvious overwhelming favor of #DemocratParty finds opposition push from rich #GOP supporting silver spoon #SiliconValley son of a billionaire #BerkshireHathaway exec, who has put up his own $10 million to obfuscate and oppose #BallotMeasure effort.
More than $34 Million has been raised to sway voters so far on either side of ccontroversial #Prop50 midterm #redistricting scheme to add seats to state's already dominant donkey #Congressional caucus.

After over 130 yrs of providing food to America, ranging from #Pineapples to #Pears to #Peaches to #PetFoods, modern marketing #mismanagement puts #California cannery #DelMonte into big #Bankruptcy blaming "borrowing" binge that led to billions in 21st century debt.
Current company HQ claims they secured another nearly $100m in #loans to keep operating as they seek a buyer.
Once one of the great west coast companies, "Del Monte Plant No. 1" built in post earthquake #SanFrancisco was heralded as the largest #fruit and #vegetable cannery in the world, employing 2,500 people and producing 200,000 cans of Del Monte brand food per day.
Later, it became a subsidiary of RJ Reynolds tobacco, and owner of #SunKist oranges & #StarKist tuna. In 2006, Del Monte became the second largest pet foods corp by purchasing Meow Mix & Milk Bone brands, but since then, HQ moved to suburban Walnut Creek CA and many of the Del Monte operations & brands have been thinned out and sold off. In 2025 brands still include #Contadina, College Inn #soups, and since 2001, a similar subsidiary 100+ yr old #canning brand called S & W and a more recent foray into burgeoning bubble teas.

#Facebook front office grabbed great publicity from its bold #billion dollar public #pledge to help solve the #BayArea #housing crisis, then after the cameras, clicks and likes disappeared so did it's phony commitment, as #Meta quietly cut the funding teat and #ghosted the topic.
Money did flow at first , as public entities provided matching funds, but #Zuggerfugger's #PaloAlto #SocialMedia #boardroom backed shills quietly cut and run, committing far less than a quarter of the publicly pledged total. The vast majority of money from Meta, a company lacking a corporate charitable arm, came back to their HQ, repaid as low 2% interest rate loans of up to $15m to developers, not actual donations.
5 years after the flurry of #publicity, the unfulfilled propaganda pipe dream went deferred, projects were few and far between, impacts largely lost and untold in a region still desperately in need of more affordable housing.
