I wonder how nice Lisa Demuth & Michele Tafoya feel about the president inciting a pogrom on my neighbors. Will the Strib political desk look up from its civility politics and push them, noting Demuth effectively invited ICE here before or will they just accept an email from Tafoya’s human shields?

Remember when they kicked an entire girl’s softball team out of the championship game because a player posted a private Snapchat where she was flipping off the camera? It’s funny how they never worry about ruining girl’s futures.

Insulting the pope at times doesn’t play well where you find many Irish German catholic roots like the Midwest. That may be an anger/angle worth a look.

Re: MPLS school mergers... I'm not sure I'm much help, or that it clarifies anything, or that it is comparable, but a decrease in enrollment = less $/ pupil. Plus, when less bodies are in a building you have empty buildings to maintain. That is expensive!

One of the worst things about the Senate’s attempted Fauci show trial is how the supposed evidence against him is early in COVID he considered multiple hypotheses, then increasingly ruled some unlikely as evidence came in. The objection is he did science. Fundamentally that is what’s under attack.

Despite all the accusations of crimes and cover-ups, the Trump admin has never actually prosecuted or jailed anyone. The supposed stolen 2020 election, Jan 6 deep state, Dr Fauci, etc. All of its is just theater for the base, revving them up. In the end, will undermine faith in gov and institutions.
