Most DFLers oppose this, all this is going to achieve is a bunch of staff getting angry phone calls from people they would agree with.

St. Paul is getting its own cat tour, inspired by the popular event in Minneapolis' Wedge neighborhood.

A cat tour is coming to St. Paul
The popular tour in Minneapolis’ “Wedge” neighborhood, where you can view cats positioned in windowsills and on porches, was an inspiration.

Pope Francis’s "Urbi et Orbi" Easter speech: “How much contempt is stirred up at times towards the vulnerable, the marginalized and migrants...I appeal to all those in positions of political responsibility in our world not to yield to the logic of fear which only leads to isolation from others.”

If it sounds like I'm fed up, its because I am. The Mayor shuts down any duly elected Council Member when they don’t serve his interests no questions asked. I know because I'm one of them. It's an injustice to the thousands of residents who elected us and are also his constituents.

The glorious 1964 Illinois House of Representatives election. The state failed to redistrict so they elected everyone at large. How they did it led to the monstrous vote totals. Here is a sample ballot of it I got from my grandma that I uploaded to Wikipedia.
