MN protestors #protip put 2 Idaho Russets in the oven at 420 degrees for 45 min, take them out and foil wrap, 1 in each pocket before you go out. Theyll stay warm for 3-4 hours even in this weather and you can eat em when you like. They used to send us kids out like this back in the 70s trust me.

who did he trade with so someone else gets to be the designated shiteater
👀 Sen. Tim Kaine, D-Va., one of 8 Senate Dems who voted for the November deal, slams the House-passed approps package. His concerns include ICE. As a bundle, he doesn’t support it “without significant amendment.”
This still needs 60 senators to avert a shutdown next Friday. Stay tuned.

If you have read even a single history of fascism, you are already aware that one thing that its rise has in common in every case is an opposition party that refuses to intervene for fear of looking weak or putting the left into power

"i serve the Lord, not a draft-dodging coward" is the kind of phrase that would be slightly cringe online and is incredibly badass when being stated by a man surrounded by armed men threatening to murder him
it's incredible how if you put this entire dialog into the Left Behind series, it would basically work, but instead it's just IRL MN
!["Sir! This is a warning!" the agent yelled as he punched the man's vehicle window. "Stop f—king following us! You are impeding operations! This is the United States federal government!"
"I live over here," the driver explained. "I got to get to my house."
"This is your warning!" the officer exclaimed.
"I serve the Lord; go to church," the resident replied.
"I will arrest you!" the officer threatened.
"Don't make a bad decision," another agent warned.
"I serve the Lord," the driver repeated. "Not a draft-dodging coward."
"Let these people go to church," the driver added. "Let these people serve the Lord and worship."
"You're not going to like the outcome of this, sir," the first officer said. "I guarantee that... Did you not learn from what just happened [when Renee Good was killed]?"
"Learn what?" the driver asked. "I serve the Lord, not a draft-dodging coward. I can't believe you'd take orders from a draft dodger."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:hbpefio3f5csc44msmbgioxz/bafkreibjwvcxk2ptdafgbwfhk4rjalweyoz3d55gl72qhwhiudhu6aywcm@jpeg)

I’m watching elections this Tuesday (yup, it never ends).
One is a rare GOP pick-up opportunity, in a CT district Harris carried by single digits.
The second is an Alabama special election the GOP is defending.
The third is the start of a Florida special DeSantis tried delaying.
