I'd rather blog about lighter things. Really, I would. Bread, or rediscovering colleagues I haven't seen in 5 or 10 years. But I can't. Not when I'm spending my whole time reading political stuff. And especially when I read things like this, this, this and this.
Note for those unfamiliar with US geography (and for some foreign readers too): St Paul is a "twin city" with Minneapolis: so police raiding homes there might signify worries about the safety of the republican convention. On the other hand, being detained for asking to see a warrant is beyond the realm of most people's expectation.
Updated: what I'm reading here suggests that there is not a lot of exaggeration going on....
Yours, hoping this is exaggerated, and that we are not this much of a police state,
N.

Hi! Sorry that I've got comment moderation activated --- I had a few unpleasant comments which forwarded people to bad places automatically --- so now I like to check that comments are real before allowing them.
