A Minneapolis pediatrician said he felt pressured to “fall in line” with child abuse specialist Dr. Nancy Harper and her team.
Then he was given a choice: resign or be fired.

One father who was acquitted of causing his son’s death said that Dr. Nancy Harper’s abuse diagnosis attached a stigma to him, caused him and his wife PTSD and robbed them of the chance to say a proper goodbye to their son.

Do I have someone in my circles who has contacts to Brandt Kettwick Defense in #minneapolis in #minnesota?
They have a (IMHO very serious) data #leak and we are trying to get into contact with them for quite some time now. Among other things we have sent them very detailed information about the leak via email and their contact form. When called, they hang up (public number may be a call center that has no idea what we talk about).
They're either thinking we're trying to phish them or we get stuck in their spam filters. At least we don't hear back from them and the leak is still open. So I am looking for someone whom they'll listen to.
So if anyone has a chance to get hold of them, we would be grateful.
We are also trying to get the PDs in Hopkins and Anoka as well as the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension involved. The data leaked affects them indirectly.

From Indivisible Twin Cities via Nancabell on 🦋:
Just got home from the protest at the Minnesota State Capitol. It was somber, it was passionate, it was angry, and it was peaceful. So fuck the bastards trying to scare us out of demonstrating and protesting. #NoKings#Minnesota
"Suspect had a manifesto, was disguised as cop and is still at large"
(Are we sure they aren't actually a cop?)
On the day of the Trump parade and millions come out in protest Opposition politicians have been murdered in a politically motivated attack.
Silence from Western Governments as the US descends into Civil War, tourists still encouraged to visit the land about to turn on itself, the Coin is all that matters, so what if your family gets whacked in crossfire at Disneyland, think of the Shareholders!
