Counterintuitive: the DFL is run by people who have no idea what it's like to live in an urban area.
Turned away from the MN DFL event due to a bag policy that didn’t appear anywhere in the invitation.
The suggestion was to put my bag in my car. I took the bus
I’m curious how many people were turned away due to other bags (bike bags, groceries, diaper bags) and didn’t have storage options

richard carlbom was asked about cyndy martin remaining on the CRBC and basically said “due process exists in this country.”
i don’t think there is any dispute cyndy martin hit and killed that teenager with her car and didn’t call 911 until the next morning, regardless of the criminal trial

Three attendees in a row at the DFL listening session have stood to speak about feeling abandoned by a party that throws around “leftists” as a pejorative and overturned the will of the convention delegates with a smug sense of superiority and certainty that party activists will turn out again

If we do not create societal structures capable of protecting the vulnerable, that’s how we start getting things like dick-chopping ronin. Is that what you want?

HOME Line's research, albeit a few years past, suggests the average eviction for nonpayment (90% of cases) is over $1,500 to $2,000. This just makes sense.

As all this disgusting Epstein shit starts surfacing more and more, I hope we don't lose sight of the fact that apparently every major media outlet knew everything and instead spent their time money and energy attacking the trans community.

This happened at the Polk County Jail, Iowan friends. Guess I’m calling the sheriff’s office in the morning.
The woman's family had to scramble to prove she was Indigenous and shouldn't be turned over to federal immigration authorities

a few years ago i told an older relative about this case for the first time. he thought i was making it up. he’s a family lawyer
In 1999, a woman named Jessica Gonzales sought and obtained an order of protection against her physically abusive husband ("AH"), who had repeatedly threatened to kill her and their three children. The order included language specifically limiting when and where AH was allowed to see the children.
