Well this is just the coolest store in Minneapolis: Free Geek, a tech thrift store. Lots of trinkets old and new. Got a very nice monitor and keyboard/mouse combo for under $50! Well-specced used laptops too!

The Supreme Court upheld the Indian Child Welfare Act, a major win for tribal sovereignty. The question is whether we allow it to get this far again. A white family and a state, backed by powerful corporate interests, threw into question the status of tribal sovereignty.
