If he wants to leave, I'm fine with that if he returns all of the money from his crowdfunding to those who donated.

Jamison Whiting played football in college.

Imagine if he served as the local government representative on a collectively owned Minnesota Vikings board of directors.

The United States, a country where we have historically underfunded infrastructure, but thats okay because we have some really nice stadiums, that you can only attend if you buy tickets that are way too expensive compared to peer nations.

That's not even getting into how we should have promotion and relegation so that relocationing, and robbing the local fans of their team is the only way to expand into new markets.

Which incentivizes blackmailing the government into bankrolling these megaprojects

$4B Denver Broncos Stadium Plan Advances at Burnham Yard With 2031 Target Denver’s $4-billion Broncos stadium plan advances at Burnham Yard, aligning state land control, city bond-funded infrastructure and transit upgrades toward a 2031 opening.

Sports teams should be a non-profit that is collectively owned by supporters who elect a board of directors and one of the board members should be required to be a member of the local city council.

I love sports! I'm so tired of paying for stadiums owned by billionaires

I'm torn between the grief of they shouldn't have to know what this is

And I'm so f**king inspired that the kids are stepping up

And I prefer action versus sitting around and doing nothing for 30 years even tho Tamarack is better right now.

Another route needs to serve it eventually, but for now Metro Micro can handle it

There needs to be a tunnel under 94 at Hazel an infill station west of White Bear and a connection to the Target (Fuck them for supporting ICE tho), and a bridge at Greenway.

I preferred Tamarack at first, but I respect that Woodbury committed to redeveloping around Bielenburg

Saying it louder for the people in the back....

We don't build new infrastructure in a new corridor in the suburbs lines for day 1 ridership.

It's about long term growth

12 people on a Eastbound Gold Line bus at 10:50pm despite the 30 minute frequency.

But tell me again how "nobody rides the Gold Line"

Recall that Melissa Hortman and her husband were murdered not long ago by a fake cop who showed up at their door looking like this guy

We’re just not a free country.

Any American watching this play out between regime forces and journalists overseas would recognize it for what it is.

The arrests of Don Lemon and Georgia Fort, plus the New York Times story about using facial recognition to take away PreCheck and Global Entry from observers, reveals how closely linked these two missions are. There is no separating ICE’s twin missions of ethnic cleansing and ideological terror.

ilhan omar said last night it’s about retribution and intimidating us into submission, not about immigration. she talked about citizens hiding because what’s happening in the streets here is like the countries they fled

and her family hid, then fled. but where can you go from the US now?

For those who don't know,

Georgia Fort is a 3 time Midwest Emmy Award winner

Co-Founder of Power 104.7

Founder of BLCK Press

Founder and President of the Center for Broadcast Journalism

And now the symbol of Trump trying to end the freedom of the press

Once again, Free Georgia Fort!

Can anyone who has experience with the caucus process and resolutions please send me a dm?

I'm new to a lot of this stuff and it would be useful to learn more and bounce some thoughts off someone.

So what actually is the solution to using their phone and driving.

Because whatever we've been doing isn't making any kind of a dent.

If anything more people are doing it than ever before.

In Men's Basketball, St Thomas and North Dakota State are a combined 14-1 in conference play with the only loss being St Thomas to North Dakota State in Fargo

They play again in Saint Paul on Feb 26th

College Sports is so much better when conferences are regional and everyone plays each other!
