Minnesota governor Tim Walz on the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool debacle: “Found an imaginary problem, said only they could fix it, didn’t listen to experts, hired buddies who grifted millions, failed miserably, bragged how great it went. The entire Trump presidency in a nutshell.”

Still haven't seen it reported in the state's paper of record, but the People's Lawyer Keith Ellison just put out a press release condemning this bullshit:
Attorney General Ellison releases statement on MN GOP's moment of silence for Derek Chauvin

 

May 31, 2026 (SAINT PAUL) — Attorney General Ellison released the following statement today:

 

“I am heartbroken and frankly shocked by the Minnesota Republican Party’s decision to hold a moment of silence for Derek Chauvin at their convention yesterday—days after the sixth anniversary of George Floyd’s murder.

 

George Floyd’s children lost their father. His siblings lost their brother. His community lost a neighbor and friend. That loss is permanent and irreparable. The jury heard all the evidence. The appeals courts reviewed every claim. Justice was rendered according to our system of law.

 

To honor the man convicted of murdering George Floyd— days after the very anniversary of that terrible day—is an act of profound cruelty to the Floyd family and to every Minnesotan who believes in accountability under law.

 

To honor a man who disgraced his oath to uphold the law and his badge is disturbing. And to honor a man who damaged the reputation of the brave men and women who protect our communities night and day is disrespectful.

 

This decision dishonors the memory of George Floyd and wounds his loved ones all over again. As the lead prosecutor whose team presented this case to a jury of twelve Minnesotans and then prevailed at every step of the appeals process, I am deeply troubled by what this says about the state of our politics. I apologize to the Floyd family and to all the dedicated officers who do their jobs honorably every day.

 

Minnesota’s families—all of them—deserve better.”

Minneapolis has had three homicides this year. Two of the three were perpetrated by ICE/Border Patrol. Per Chief O’Hara, in all of 2025 Minneapolis PD killed no one while taking 900 firearms off the streets and arresting 100s of violent offenders. #iceoutofminnesota #icethugs

In U.S. history, some white people were enslavers & other white people were abolitionists. White people like JD Vance who think teaching about America's history of racism shames white kids should explain why they think white kids will associate more with enslavers than with abolitionists?🤔
