Someone serious should absolutely get in the race against Tom Emmer. An R+10 suburban/exurban Twin Cities district is not safe right now.
trump has probably destroyed the minnesota republican party for the duration
pretty wild statement re: Republican Chris Madel drop from race for MN governor:
"Saying he cannot support the national GOP's 'stated retribution on citizens of our state, nor can I count myself a member of a party that would do so."

"There has always been a path back...but the path back involves repair. Undoing harm." That's absolutely fuckin right. Public admissions of "regret" as if they will bring absolution are not that path. Y'all know what you need to do, deep down. Get busy or be quiet.
I said what I said about the silly people who say, "But there has to be a path back for MAGA folk!🤡" There has always been a path back. It's never been an issue at all. Many anti-MAGA folk spent some part of their life on the hateful side.
But the path back involves repair. Undoing harm. Like this.

He spent decades bringing the religious right to power. Now he's marching to undo it.
Rev. Rob Schenck spent decades helping build the Religious Right—commingling church and state to advance conservative causes. Now, he says he must confront the damage he helped cause.

A major stream (some might say dominant) of the American gun rights movement traces back to an early 1990s strategic alliance between Christian Reconstructionists (who want to impose "biblical law") and the (white supremacist) "Christian Identity" movement that believes non-whites are satanic.
Look, I'm glad we're having a conversation about the hypocrisy of the legal logic used by America's gun nuts. But can we stop pretending this is a new thing? They have never advocated for universal access to firearms. They only want their team to be armed. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
Conservatives, liberals shift gun rights arguments after shooting
Some gun rights backers cite Alex Pretti’s gun as a justification for his killing in Minneapolis, while gun-control supporters dismiss its relevance.

this is a fake problem. no one is saying this to regular, offline people who are coming around. they’re saying it to people who are engaged in professional political analysis who committed professional malpractice by scolding people who saw what was coming.
no, those people shouldn’t get a break.

Bluesky idea: if people who didn't agree with you change their opinions so that they do agree with you, why not be happy that you are making progress - rather than complaining that they are "only just catching up"?

The point of sincere repentance isn’t to demonstrate your holiness it’s to show that you’ve learned that you made a terrible error and that’s important because we live in a fucking society and if you want the people you’ve wronged to take you back, that’s on you.

This guy wrote an article called, “Where Woke Went Wrong,” in which he claims modern movements lack the respectability of the Civil Rights Movement, among other bad takes.

“Where woke went wrong”
If progressive social movements are to rise again after the Trump-led backlash, they need to overcome not just their opponents but also their own limitations.

I lived among the Upper Midwest Lutherans for almost 20 years and every word of this is true, except I'd almost argue for under 24 hrs tbh
The thing about Minnesota Lutherans is that while the U.S. military can deploy a functioning Burger King anywhere in the world in 48 hours, your local Mainline Protestant church's women's committee can do it in under 36.
I mostly just stay off Twitter altogether but after double checking that the Walter Hudson post was still up I ran across this and just had to share so the Romancelandians who bought hand warmers could hear about the PROFESSIONAL GRADE LOGISTICS.
