After a months-long occupation, Minnesota is still recovering from a retribution campaign waged by the federal government. Now, Minnesota stands with Houston in demanding accountability for the fatal shooting of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo. This bloodshed cannot be normalized.

If we actually want to appreciate moms, we should be providing free childcare, healthcare, and guaranteed income for stay-at-home parents to put more money in families’ pockets and ensure no SAHP is reliant on a partner for their economic security. Idk I think that’s better than 15% off a vacuum.

Meteorologists warn of a 62% chance El Niño develops between June and August 2026. A one-in-four probability exists for a "very strong" event, potentially triggering extreme heat and rainfall. Forecasters monitor tropical Pacific as ocean temperatures threaten to rise 2°C above average.

"Red State" is a con. No such thing. 57% of Texans didn't vote at all 2024. Any state where more than 50% of the people want so little to do with politicians they don't even vote, should not be called a "Red State" or a "Blue State". Most people in "Red States" aren't red at all.
