Not a socialist. More of a centrist JFK Democrat as opposed to a modern progressive. AKA Left of center moderate with some decidedly very Libertarian leanings.

Community Streets group (🤷♀️) has a lot of requirements for other people and entities regarding George Floyd Square.
Handouts going around: The City Council's call for further study "provided critical time for the community to engage in a year long conversation on the viability of a pedestrian plaza in George Floyd Square" — but also acknowledges biz groups oppose it…

Ladies: No one is going to protect you. You must learn how to protect yourself. Buy a gun, get trained and carry everywhere.
“Minnesota man” Abdimahat Bille Mohamed r*ped a 15-year-old girl at gunpoint and r*ped another woman he met on snapchat. He struck a plea deal and DID NOT SERVE JAIL TIME. He just r*ped another woman. Who could’ve possibly seen this coming?! WE ARE SO SICK OF THIS

St. Paul told Judge Castro we “failed” to give notice of our Temporary Injunction motion and claimed they made a “diligent effort” to find it. We sent the notice four days earlier—directly to the City Attorney. We keep receipts. If the City Attorney’s Office can’t even find an

The right to keep and bear arms is a fundamental, individual constitutional right—one that can’t be reduced to a privilege by employers or government. Under the 2nd Amendment, as affirmed in DC v. Heller (2008), McDonald v. Chicago (2010), and NYSRPA v. Bruen (2022), the right to

Still no official confirmation, but two factors point to this likely being gang-related: 1. It's Stockton, which alone already makes it more likely than not that it's gang bullshit with children caught in the crossfire. 2. Police are asking for tips on the suspect. Which tells
In 2018, the global media began conflating gang violence & drive-bys, with “mass shootings” in an effort to ultimately disarm the America. It has backfired fantastically with everyone responding to headlines like this with “why haven’t you released the shooter’s description?”

15 people were shot at a child’s birthday party in California… the state with EVERY gun law politicians claim will “keep us safe.” Red flag laws. Mag bans. Waiting periods. Background checks. Registration. Ammo restrictions. All of it — and this STILL happened. How does the

For non-Minnesotans (or those not paying attention) @grove now runs the @StarTribune newspaper but just before that that, in his job he reported directly to @GovTimWalz as State Commissioner of @mndeed. Some might say that's a very, very cozy situation, but I digress...
Even @StarTribune and @grove attorney is frustrated with @GovTimWalz administration - "The most transparent Governor in MN History" From @RyanFaircloth in today's Hot Dish newsletter.

They never acknowledge that California does everything antigunners demand. Gun control never has to have any accountability, ever. They can erode our rights, fail, then still somehow blame us having rights. All while constantly releasing violent criminals out of prison early,
Another mass shooting in America. This one close to home. My heart breaks for the victims in Stockton. Some of them are children, who died at a birthday party. If we can’t protect them from gun violence, who are we?

This whole clip is so ridiculous but the fact that he tries to take credit for “putting people in jail” is just perfect. There have been zero state prosecutions on the fraud. The federal government has done it all!

Tim Walz: Can you hand us the megaphone so that we can address the fraud that flourished under your control? Can you promise that you won’t retaliate? No, we don’t trust you at all and state employees are rightfully turning against you.
When Republican Congressmen are scared to face their constituents, we show up in their districts to lend a megaphone to the people. You can feel the energy for change - and now the tides are turning. Trump is slowing down.

Does This Liberal Podcaster Have a Point About Getting Rid of Guns? A liberal podcaster just said something so wild I had to replay it twice: “If we got rid of every gun on Earth, no one would ever be shot again.” And he said it like he’d just solved human violence. But here’s
