"Are you 25+ years old, a resident of Minnesota for at least the past year, and not a fundamentally underwhelming establishment politician? We want YOU to run for Governor! Brought to you by the Committee for Citizens Who Are Honestly Not That Jazzed About Amy Klobuchar Basically Being Anointed as Governor by the DFL Establishment in a Way That is Concerningly Reminiscent of Hillary Clinton's Ultimately Disastrous Ascension to the Democratic Nomination in 2016, But I Guess We're Not Supposed to Talk About That, Huh? We're Just Supposed To Fall in Line and Vote For Amy Because She's Better Than The Alternative, But The Alternative is a Party That Literally Endorses Nazi Ideology, and the Best We Can Do is a Milquetoast Liberal Who Doesn't Stand for Anything Except Her Corporate Sponsors? Really? We Can't Find One Single Candidate in the State of Minnesota Who's Willing to Show a Little Courage on Behalf of Her Constituents? One Single Candidate Who's Willing to Support a Position Before It's Been Greenlit by a Focus Group First? One Single Candidate Who Doesn't Throw Staplers At Her Staff? We Know We Can Do Better, But Every Potential Challenger Has Been Successfully Scared Into Silence By The Implicit Threat of Being Blackballed By the State Party and Their Political Careers Being Tanked Because They Dared Stand Against Amy. But Anyway, What Do I Know, Right? God, I'm Just So Sick Of It. NOT AUTHORIZED BY ANY CANDIDATE OR CANDIDATE'S COMMITTEE"

EMERGENCY: ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA “…There are thousands of ICE rats scuttling … already icy streets. Good is gone for good—shot in the … She isn’t the reason for the breaking point. Just as it was Amir Locke or Daunte Wright before her, or even George Floyd. The cries of Philando Castile’s family weren’t enough. Before them, Fong Lee, and too many more. Since Bloody Friday, our martyrs have been turned into just… names. They should have been enough. This ICE operation is somehow simpler AND more malicious than the kill count accumulated by our PD. This is slave catching. This is gestapo. A militia has descended upon our city, with SS tattoos and southern drawls, and they have come for our immigrants and our vaguely brown. It didn’t have to be Good. It could’ve been any of us. It’s a game of odds now, and I don’t gamble. So I will fight. ICE is not a disciplined or well-trained group. Their only cohesion is a collective desperation which makes for a fractured yet dangerous opponent. We have the numbers. We’re fighting for our home. We should not be intimidated by cowards. To paraphrase the villains from a favorite childhood film: If one stands up, then they all might stand up! They outnumber us 100:1 and if they ever figure that out, there goes our way of life! It’s not about food, IT IS ABOUT KEEPING THEM IN LINE. And finally, I repeat the words of a man I’m surprised to quote: “BULLSHIT. GET THE FUCK OUT OF OUR CITY!”
