True. Very. Learned that the hard way during ICE occupation of Mpls. Naively thought MN's GOP congress members would try to convince Trump to back off, ease up, call off Metro Surge. They didn't. All were on Trump's side. Such a betrayal, no consequences. Will remember that forever.

You're right. A slim Flanagan lead is not good news. Tafoya has never held elective office, has no record to defend or explain, has avoided the media, made all kinds of outlandish promises, appeals to suburban never-Trump Repubs. Flanagan is vulnerable due to fraud in MN that she hasn't countered.

I wonder how many women tried to pull off the Annie Hall look and ended up looking vaguely Amish and deeply weird.🙋

Minnesota is stronger because of our Somali neighbors. We stand together, we look out for one another, and we will never let hate define who we are.

Proud of the kid, for sure, also proud of Michigan Democrats for selecting Dr. El-Sayed as their Senate candidate and trusting that he would be the exceptional candidate the times require and Michiganders deserve. Oh and the kid should be in reboot of Big Bang Theory.

People in rural parts of MN won't see this video, didn't see similar govt-supported violence in the Twin Cities last winter. They think ICE is just another branch of law enforcement. The Good Guys. So we have pre-election polls showing close races that shouldn't be. Thanks for revealing truth.

At least the guys who play the game have an excuse for their weird theories. The fan who believes her choice of game day wardrobe and accessories determines the game's outcome has no such excuse. And yet, here we are:⁠-⁠)

It was an episode of Night Gallery. Laurence Harvey played a man who lusted for another man's wife. A plot to murder her husband went awry when a deadly earwig ended up in LH's ear instead of the hubby. After much pain and thrashing about, Harvey survived but there was bad news that still vexes me.

Certainly her death was tragic. Just like the deaths of Jimi Hendrix, Prince, Jim Morrison, Whitney Houston, Elvis Presley, etc. Quitting drugs seems like a slamdunk decision. It isn't. Like the lady said, "Feels just like a ball and chain."

Grew up in farm country, family farms. Saw kids drop out of school after 8th grade to farm fulltime. Not an easy life. Worries anout debt, machinery failure, iffy weather. Have always made excuses for rural political opinions but no more. Can't defend willful ignirance.

Fly fishing for trout is almost mandatory for visitors to Bozeman😳 Or, it's a great city to just explore, with no itinerary. It's a college town so there are lots of funky bars, some with karaoke (ew). Air in Bozeman is crisp, clear. A good restaurant, lovely -- grlodge.com/food-and-din...

Hi, Minnesotan, Vikings fan, parent of a gay child here. Kluwe was unrelentingly supportive of lgbtq rights in MN. Helped defeat an anti-gay marriage amendment. His football career was shortened by his activism. He doesn't waiver or wobble. Neither did his punts:⁠-⁠) I'd vote for him, no question.

What you said is true and has been for decades. Also the Dems haven't fought back against GOP charges that Dems'll raise taxes, allow abortion thru the 9th month of pregnancy and encourage teachers to surgically reassign kids' gender. Also churches are so influential. Cmon, farmers, wake up.
