Honest question: how does one reform a system that allows police offices to kill someone within seconds after you aggressively startle them awake?

- I’ve been in-person early voting here in Minnesota since the law was changed to allow it and this is the longest line at Ramsey County Elections I’ve EVER seen. Something is happening here ✨
- I have so much respect for @TinaSmithMN. Thank you for confronting Senator Lee while I know you’re still grieving yourself.Tina Smith just pulled Mike Lee out of a Republicans-only briefing on their tax-and-spending bill. The pair spoke for a couple of minutes before Smith walked away. When I asked what she said to him, she said “let me just gather myself” before rushing back onto the Senate floor.
- Since Ken Martin has been Chair of the @MinnesotaDFL we’ve gone 25-0 in statewide elections along with two DFL trifectas in that same time period. Even in a rough national election year, Harris won MN by 4.2% and Amy Klobuchar won by 15.7%. So what are we talking about here?Ken Martin is saying we’re getting our “butts kicked”, but under his leadership, Minnesota has trended more to the right than ever. Let’s win with O’Malley.
00:00 - Once upon a time, I was a Teamster—my mom was a Teamster, my brother was a Teamster, and my grandfather was a Teamster. As a proud union member it is so incredibly disappointing to see Sean O'Brien speak to a crowd at a party that does not believe in our right to organize.
- It’s taken me a second but my Minnesotan pride along with my own thoughts on the Presidential race brings me to the conclusion that @Tim_Walz for Vice President makes a ridiculous amount of sense. For party unity, electability, and hopefully governance it just makes sense.
- Thank you, Governor @Tim_Walz, for bringing joy to a dark and turbulent election cycle and continuing to fight for Minnesota values.Walz: As long as I am governor of Minnesota, we will protect a woman's right to make her own health care decisions. As long as I am governor of Minnesota, we will welcome immigrants with gratitude for their contributions to our community.
00:00 - Wow - like, no stops, no detours, just straight there from the capitol.
The Senate adjourned at 5:17 on Monday. Justin Eichorn was arrested at 5:46. - Replying to @Targ_NationEvery time I rewatch this show after reading the books
GIF - I’ll have a lot to say what happened today at the MLPS Ward 10 Convention but candidate Nasri Warsame attempted to fight me today – I’ve been volunteering for caucuses for over 10 years and I’ve never experienced anything comparable in my entire DFL experience. UNACCEPTABLE.
- According to werdios like Dinesh, it’s a “mental” to love your dad and be proud of him at one of the biggest moments of his life? Honestly, shut your whole grifter ass up.The kid might have mental problems, but he’s acting just like Tim Walz! So what’s Walz’s excuse?
- Wow, I’m at George Floyd Square (Chicago and 37th) and a man in an Agape shirt and another woman is physically intimating people and has told someone to shut their “gay ass” up when they engaged in conversation - What in the fuck @CityMinneapolis?
