God I wish Klobuchar was DSA.

Text I received from the GOP reading:

Tomorrow decides it all. Last time Democratic Socialists had full control, they tore down every safeguard standing between the unborn and abortion on demand in our state. If conservatives stay home, Amy Klobuchar and the DSA get four more years to finish the job.

Lisa Demuth is the ONLY pro-life candidate who can stop it.

Make your plan now: What time are you voting? Polls open 7am-8pm.

Find your polling place: mnvotes.org

Primaries are often decided by a handful of votes — yours could be the deciding vote.

Reply YES if you're voting for Lisa Demuth tomorrow, then make it happen.

Before Reporting the text as spam, I made sure to save this graphic from the MN GOP.

Political text. It reads “Is the Mile Lindell and Phil Parrish ticket soft on abortion?” The text is overlaid upon a pillow torn in two.

Deep in the heart of the A concourse, there is a bar that’s so secluded it still has last night’s shots sitting at the table at 9 AM on a Tuesday.

Behold. The stupidest game of chess I personally have ever played. I, as black, came back to win from this position.
