I was told not to tweet this until the houses adjourned for fear of jinxing it, but the Minnesota legislature just completed what is probably the most productive session anywhere in the country since probably the New Deal. Sweeping bills and reforms across every area of life.— Will Stancil (@whstancil) May 23, 2023

    All this comes from a lot of street level activism. The local democrats are still a bunch of shitheads. Omar voted against the rail union strike, Klobuchar of stapler throwing fame is one of Minnesota's senators. Keith Ellison is probably one of the most progressive DAs in the country, which just means that he's one of the least-bad cops.
