I get what you're going for, but it also implies that you think Johnson and Pritzker should be in jail. Which I'm hoping is not true.

Hey, I'm trying to reach out to Minneapolis Election and Voter Services to ask them about their tracking of early voting in the hopes that the infrastructure could easily be provided to other counties in Minnesota. Does anyone have a contact they can introduce me to?

This morning, an attack carried out by Israeli forces killed Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) staff member, Omar Hayek, and seriously injured four others. The attack took place on a street where our teams were waiting to take a bus to the MSF field hospital in Deir al Balah, Gaza.  

All staff were wearing MSF vests, clearly identifying them as medical humanitarian workers.  
We express deep sorrow and outrage over the killing, which occurs less than two weeks after another MSF colleague, Hussein Alnajjar, was killed by the Israeli forces, in Deir Al Balah.  

Our thoughts are with Omar’s family and colleagues at this tragic time.β€―Omar, 42 years old, is the fourteenth MSF colleague to be killed in Gaza since 7 October 2023.

MSF staff are universally understood to be engaged in an essentially sacred form of work. For a state to nonetheless continuously murder them is a testament to a truly unthinkable degree of depravity.

The brave men and women who serve in our national guards must not be used as political props. This is a moment where every American must speak up and help stop this madness.

​I call on Governor Abbott to immediately withdraw any support for this decision and refuse to coordinate. There is no reason a President should send military troops into a sovereign state without their knowledge, consent, or cooperation.

We must now start calling this what it is: Trump’s Invasion. It started with federal agents, it will soon include deploying federalized members of the Illinois National Guard against our wishes, and it will now involve sending in another state’s military troops.

This evening, President Trump is ordering 400 members of the Texas National Guard for deployments to Illinois, Oregon, and other locations within the United States. No officials from the federal government called me directly to discuss or coordinate.

Leo’s first doorknock. Talking to neighbors about why we’re voting yes for Saint Paul Public Schools. Every child and family in Saint Paul deserves access to quality public education.

The browner it gets, the firmer the layer gets, and the harder it becomes to execute the fold. Try less eggs, or a larger pan.

Hey everyone, it’s Friday Funding Day, which is where I ask you to help support my campaign because our election finance laws suck!

Fun fact - did you know that if we had publicly financed campaigns, I wouldn’t have to do this? You’d also stop getting β€œplease send $5” emails and texts!

Anyways, no lyric goes harder than:

Those of you who can
Pick yourselves off the ground
Hurry back
Tell your leader
he'll need more men!"

Wait a minute, is the @magfest.org theme MegaMan because they knew Act III's final track would drop the week before MAG?

I've seen a wide variety of live music shows, but The Protomen consistently put on the best show I've seen live. With the new album fully dropping by early January, I hope they'll be touring after MAGFest.
