Minneapolis has an amazing park system. Our master plan called for a park within 6 blocks of every house. 2 blocks to my local tennis court, wading pool, ball fields. 6 blocks to a 30 foot waterfall. 6 blocks to good trails along the Mississippi River gorge. Off leash dog parks! Lakes and beaches!
Stephen Miller: "We have communities all across this nation that 20 years ago, before the era of open borders, were completely peaceful, completely stable. Look at a place like Minneapolis. Post mass migration they're unsafe, they're violent, you cannot use the public parks."

Oh, so now you're calling him a Nazi?
Just bc he's an apartheid authoritarian who just gave 2 Nazi salutes after platforming antisemites and endorsing the AfD Nazis in Germany?
So much for the 'tolerant left.'

Trump and republicans pleading with everyday Americans to help save Elon’s fortune while he’s actively dismantling programs for the working poor, middle class, veterans and the elderly is absolutely fucking vile.

This little dog tosses her food around. If a piece goes under the couch, she *needs* that piece. Even if her bowl is full. I've been under these recliners with a flashlight several times recently, helping her find her food.

Ah. We have required the local Girl Scouts to do the math, and make change, and sell us many boxes of goodness. 😋

This shit doesn’t happen in France and I’ll tell you why: the rich went too far once and they cut all their heads off and now, when those in power fuck workers over, the French stop working. Don’t forget your real power Americans. They don’t let you have unions for a reason.

Spouse set up our living room ceiling fan on Home. So now, if I say "OK Google, I'm hot." It says "Ooh, yes you are hot. Let's cool you down." And turns on the ceiling fan. 🤣

So lets recap:
- Trump announces tariffs.
- Allies turn against the U.S., launch boycotts on U.S. products and boo us at events.
- Markets nosedive.
- Trump caves.
The "deals":
- Mexico agrees to do the same things they always do at the border to help the U.S. (including under Biden) 1/

So we have had no hull loss airliner crashes in America from 2009 until yesterday. But DEI was the cause of the crash yesterday???
Based on that logic, I guess DEI was responsible for the safest period of civil aviation in US history.

Some good news. Democracy Docket is a good team to support.
