Mike Johnson is an anti-American thug. We've all known sniveling little men like this. They someone inculcate themselves into our fabric, but we need to recognize that few people actually like this guy because he's just a basic asshole.

Today US Rep Tom Emmer called anyone who is going to protest on October 18 anti-American. This is a great day to call Tom Emmer‘s phone lines with some patriotic messages. Tom Emmer is the house, majority whip, a second place finisher. He has done nothing for Minnesota, but collect a huge salary.

Emmer has been one of the least effective members of Congress. He always gets the second place status majority whip. He’s a blight on Minnesota. He’s also a thug. And this guy, crypto King Tom, has done nothing for his constituents.

The Mark Bray situation is so completely fucked right now and if you're a journalist you need to start saying how it's fucked because you're fucking next. They won't stop at academics.

Indicting your political enemies because they’re your enemies, not because they’ve committed crimes, is unAmerican.

You know it. I just finished another 2 years as chair and my average sleep has increased from about 5 hours per night to 6 1/2!

Yes, I agree, but it's not even registering in her top 9 issues for her campaign. I think votes could be gained If the message was something like, "I am concerned about ballooning property taxes and want to ensure your tax dollars are not being wasted or misspent by the Frey Administration."

Now they'll make you chair to reverse these positive developments!😂

If the progressives in the City Council simply listed as one of their platform planks "Uncover waste, fraud and abuse in City Hall", they'd profoundly confuse the All of Mpls and Frey supporters.

Aw Schutz, what are we gonna do? Whoever runs as a DFLer should run a bunch of ads with nuclear facilities exploding in the background.

chatbot 0147, chatbot 1973 and chatbot 4499 shared the $1.1 million dollar prize. Reached just before dawn chatbot 4499 said, "I'm sorry, can you repeat the question? I didn't understand your request." Chatbot 1973 has not yet been located and chatbot 0147 refused to comment pending admin approval.

Let me just say that the developmental biology community has a lot of work to do.

Also, the media environment has led to what I'd call a broad slander of current council members who are adjacent to DSA (or DSA) OR are simply not allied with Frey. Majority anti-DSA journo from STRIB, online media like Garage Logic, GOP messaging and see, A Precarious State, outstate TV, Fox9, etc.

I live 1 block north of this ward. Ken Martin supported CM Chowdhury in the last election. It really makes 100% sense to me for four key reasons: 1) 5,600 voters (46%) didn't vote for CM Chowdhury--pool is available to challenger, 2) race, 3) class (negative sentiment re renters), 4) gender.

Today, a question came up with a group of organizers I’m working with, some of whom are also lawyers, and it’s a serious inquiry:

Is anyone undertaking an effort to collect evidence that could eventually be used in a Nuremberg-style set of trials, or for a truth and reconciliation commission?
