Midwestern take: (I actually think less of people in fraternities/sororities.) Why anyone would pay to live in close quarters with people named Chip or Kitty is absolutely beyond me

The Schmitt/Klobuchar dust up resulted in a big L for Schmitt—mostly because he mixed-up sports team names. Americans take sports seriously! Constitution, not so much. Hooray for Klobuchar, tho tbh

Isn’t it obvious what happened? The current crazy Lake America MAGAs happened. Women aren’t people now. ICE is happening. ALL OF IT. The Dem centrists have moved to the left and many of us are progressive now. I’m ready to vote for the leftiest of the lefties. At least they care

Why are Dems are so bad at PR and reading the room? Maybe it’s because most of the visible, D.C. Dems went to east coast, Ivy League schools where people say things are “lovely” and then avoid confrontation and plain language

This was probably obvs to everyone but me—but they are keeping people in detention rather than deporting them, because someone is making a profit for each body per diem. Some evil shit

A Chilean copper giant spent a decade trying to dig above America’s most visited wilderness. The Senate cleared the way in April. On Tuesday a governor with five months left in office shut the state’s door in their face.

If the church lady yoga group is any indication, white suburban women are voting farther left than the last election in MN. Gathering groceries for families hiding in basements during the height of the Occupation and driving immigrant children to and from school has had an impact imo

In theory, "advanced placement" course in high schools are meant to give students a head start on college-level work, but in practice these courses serve as *replacements* for that college-level work, and very poor ones at that.

It is worth saying that it appears that the brave and principled actions of people of Minneapolis and the killings of Alex Pretti and Renee Good seem to have been a legitimate inflection point in American politics. We should carry that forward with us.

Steady. We have to win the midterms by a landslide—all energy there. Avoid falling for propaganda designed to break apart the Dems. If a candidate is too liberal OR not liberal enough—vote Dem, anyway—for now. Voting rights. Our environment. Women’s rights. We can squabble after we win! Steady.

I live in Minneapolis, and I don’t get his absolute obsession with Minnesota and Somalis, specifically. He is insanely racist, and someone equally racist has his ear—I’m guessing Emmer

Yes! Most of these moms in Mpls were driving children safely to elementary schools when their parents couldn’t, were stocking grocery stores in their own homes, were organizing undercover routes for drivers to deliver food and supplies—doing the real work, not performative work

Seeing all the “professional” activists go after Stancil is negatively polarizing me into a stance that Minnesota is winning because it’s normal people rising to the occasion and pushing a lot of activist nonsense out of the way by doing it

Pretty sure Emmer has the orange king’s ear, telling him how popular he is throughout the entire state of MN and giving him bad advice about how we’d all riot and provide a reason for calling off voting

They are losing the hockey moms. We are going to win.
From a hockey mom on my team who lives in Maple Grove 

I’m shook to my core. ICE was in my neighborhood this morning…I heard and went to see for myself and indeed there were three cars parked in front of three houses. They just took a neighbor from his driveway when he went to get his garbage can. A bunch of us went there as it was happening and after-wife is a mess. She said he has a green card but they didn’t want to see it. They just took him. They just got married and just moved in! She’s from here and he’s maybe Eastern European…I didn’t ask cause it doesn’t matter but wtf???!!!! A block from my house!!!!

This new video angle 100% does not support the claims of ICE and Noem. This is murder and the chief of police should arrest the federal officer as such.
