Image that says: accountability doesn’t stop here. We need to tell Minnesota conservatives to do what’s right, stand with Minnesotans, and hold Trump and ICE accountable for the damage they’ve cause to Minnesota children and families. 

Comment I’m in, to join us to hold conservatives accountable.

Trump may have fired Kristi Noem, but her replacement will be more of the same. Minnesota deserves justice for the damage done by Operation Metro Surge. #breakingnews

A fascist manifesto is gaining fans on the right, including state Sen. Roger Chamberlain. • Minnesota Reformer State Sen. Roger Chamberlain has taken an interest in the neo-fascist, self published book "Bronze Age Mindset," as well as an interest in neo-Nazis and white supremacists.

Chamberlain has openly expressed his support for Bronze Age Mindset, a fascist manifesto that argues that equality & human rights are unnatural & that the proper rulers of the world are white men #mngov minnesotareformer.com/2020/08/24/a...

What's notably missing from stories about this so far is that Qualls also tapped former conservative MN State Senator Roger Chamberlain as his legislative advisor. Chamberlain has a long-standing record of amplifying racist rhetoric & defending white supremacist groups #mngov x.com/ABetterMN/st...

Promises of lower costs? Not delivered.

As families struggle to make ends meet, Trump’s failing tariffs continue to drive up prices for small businesses and consumers.

"Brenda and her educators should be figuring out how our kids should be learning. Instead, they are pressed into this relentless effort to keep our students safe."

Thanks to Trump & conservatives' budget bill, over 150,000 Minnesotans on the state ACA marketplace will be forced to pay $755 more each year, on average, for their health insurance. ~180,000 Minnesotans will have their health care coverage entirely taken away. #SOTU

The remaining conservative governor candidates in the race - Mike Lindell, Kendall Qualls, Lisa Demuth, and Kristin Robbins - are still seeking Trump’s endorsement and have made it clear that they will be a rubber stamp for Trump’s agenda in our state. Minnesotans deserve better.

Scott Jensen has remained silent on the killings, abductions of children, unjust detainments, and other violent actions by Trump’s federal agents during Operation Metro Surge. He’s said that public education is "a black hole" and he would put "less money" into Minnesota schools if elected.
