Tonight, we're tracking six elections across the United States.
In Minnesota, a special election is being held in State House 64A. Democrats are heavily favored to win, which would return the State House to a 67-67 tie.

You would think fascists would learn by now that they always get thrown under the bus by other fascists

While not participating, as I’d be forced to use vacation time, it’s very heartening to see the community response here in the twin cities. One of the reasons I’m proud to live here!
Minneapolis doing a general strike and day of protest when it’s literally -20 degrees Fahrenheit outside right now is incredible.
These people are heroes and American patriots risking everything to stop fascism.
The clergy just keep coming to this anti-ICE protest.
Genuinely unclear where they all will go — it’s packed outside on the sidewalk already.
@therealbrent.bsky.social This one’s another focus group doozy lmao.
