Big Rail. Monopolistic. Virtually unchecked power governed by antiquated, century old laws.
The world keeps reminding me of one of the best news days, for me, a person obsessed with both legal justice and trains. And I had been working at a firm that represented injured rail workers or their survivors. Sometimes the bad guys get caught.

Someone on the Minneapolis subreddit caught Waymos being delivered. We need the City Council need to ban the use of driverless cars. The technology isn't there. Our city cannot be a testing ground for 1.5 ton autonomous projectiles.

ok, after a few days of processing this event, i am more worried than ever about 2026, and have realized any DFL win will be due to the leadership of DFL electeds & their volunteers.
the party apparatus is no longer being run by organizers, but by consultants. everyone should plan accordingly.

The notion abusers need to resort to conspiracies and subterfuge is more comforting than the truth that many people will readily look the other way when confronted with sexual violence if doing otherwise would even slightly inconvenience them
Pizzagate: If you replace the word “hot dog” with “little boy” and “pizza party” with “child sex orgy,” you will see the lengths these elites go to cover up their crimes.

I have been getting campaign emails from Lydia Millard, even though I never signed up for them. Looking at the alias they are coming in for, I see that it is parker-dfl @ mydomain.tld so that would mean the DFL was providing emails to Lydia's team despite them not endorsing her.
