what if you *didn't* review and correct the minutes? AI is infallible and wonderful, so shouldn't its work just speak for itself in all its glory?

This is from a year ago. MN leg is not even in session yet for 2026. Would also violate 1st amendment if not void for vagueness if they were ever able to get it passed.

Ooh, can you give a link to the post? My grandmother was born in Canada, but everything I've seen about gaining citizenship isn't particularly hopeful.

That's funny, the opposite has happened to me, a 50something woman who had her adult son along for the ride when buying a car and the salesman would only talk to him. Progress?

OMG yes! I can't even look at the discover feed anymore it's so gross, I just stick to Mpls/St. Paul. I keep thinking it gives me more bc my brain can't process what I'm looking at so my scroll isn't fast enough. Report & block does nothing.

He has a BS, MBA, + 10 yrs exp. HR told him that an MBA is not a master's degree (he's got that in writing). W T actual F?

Funny you would say that. AKlo's stances on, oh pretty much everything, put her squarely in the camp of 1960s-1970s Republicanism. The DFL has been infiltrated by Republicans and it's @amyklobuchar.com

the way I will not be giving Amy Klobuchar anymore of my attention beyond this post. that said!

the nearly 60 days of ICE occupation in Minnesota has demonstrated that Amy Klobuchar is not remotely equipped for or interested in any of what is required to meet this moment or its future aftermath.

I want states to place federal withholding of state employees into escrow. (I am a state employee) as a start.

Pretty easy to add these corporations to my boycott list. HealthPartners is my insurer, but they have never paid once for anything, so it's no problem boycotting them.

2 candles burning for a good man, Alex Pretti

Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright
Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

To be fair, all appearances by AKlo are uninspiring.

Walz mobilized the Guard, but has done fuck all to protect the Minnesotans who are being kidnapped and murdered by the federal government.
