The DFL is a shitshow and I'm dedicated to doing my part in fixing it over the next year because if they don't get their shit together, we are going to lose and my life and home in Minnesota will be at risk.
If you're mad about this shit like me, help me out with this organizing effort.

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

A *ton* of autism focused groups are struggling financially this year as the federal government attacks the community. The Somali Parents Autism Network here in Minnesota supports Somali families in providing culturally competent resources on autism for them. They need $25,000 by year end.

This is far worse than anyone expected.
Trump's HUD plan would cut *two-thirds* of permanent housing and push as many as 170,000 formerly homeless people back onto the street—redirecting funds to work mandates, forced treatment, and encampment sweeps.
All as mass internment camps are being built.

great point. Dems have a lot more wiggle room on this stuff than the “popularist” people say
This has gotten lost: Abigail Spanberger won big after vowing to RESCIND Glenn Youngkin's executive order directing local cooperation with ICE and voting AGAINST the anti-immigrant Laken Riley Act. Yet she gained bigly with working class.

Update:
Because Holman airfield has international flights they must have a customs office.
The building project reported by the city is a replacement of an existing customs office.
I have seen no indication that this project is anything other than a replacement for a very old facility.
