I still refuse to proof read.
- The only people who can't are the constituents from whom the mandate of the government is derived.
- The DFL is failing so hard on responding to the fascist GOP that MPLS is starting to discover what actual anarchy is. People taking care of their own communities and redistributing resources, organizing watches and rides. Kinda worried given the historic response liberals have for communes.
- Sorry did Krgty Noemq say the ICE officers need to wear a body cam but hasn't mentioned things like badges or ID or anything that could let you know they haven't just hired a gang to disappear people?
- What I am understanding is that the Epstein files contain information about the abuse of power we all suspected but also how the modern right movement was made to manipulate people into normalizing that abuse more than it was.
- If we, as a city, get a peace prize legit, well it won't be enough but I will be happy knowing how much trump would hate having to think about being a fraud
- It's a non starter to de secret my secret police because they are not only lawbreakers they are enemies of all of humanity...
- Kustoff: "That is a reason they have to wear masks because they have been doxxed & their families have been threatened. So to me that is a nonstarter & I think to most Republicans that is a nonstarter and I'd like to think most Democrats would realize we need to protect the sanctity of these agents"
- Gonna say it again, if I see AI or Photoshop images of Minnesotans as propaganda for one side or the other, I am blocking you. I don't care if you are trying to make it clear that Alex Pretti was murdered in cold blood or Liam Ramos is just a child in winter, I will block you. Please respect people.
- I'm going to stop using the term "voter apathy" and start using the term "constructive disenfranchisement". It is not the fault of those who have been meaningfully removed from the process; it's the fault of those in power who ignore the voices of the out of power.
- They aren't protesters. They are observers. The running vehicle with no front plate had a man sitting next to handcuffs and tactical gear. They came to observe and draw attention. ICE will buy food and abduct the staff. Don't feed into right wing talking points about protest or instigation.
- I'm not quoting the post because I am not critiquing any individuals. I am making a general statement. Words are powerful. Don't admit the argument for your opponent. They are constitutional observers. Legal observers. They are eyes and ears on ICE for when they commit crimes--which is always.
- Minnesotans, is anyone running against Amy Klobuchar in the DFL? Or are we doomed to have to choose between conservative and regressive candidates for governor?
