MN Friends, the Primary is 10 days away, but early voting is open now. Please consider giving Peggy Flanagan your vote. We need strong, progressive voices in the senate fighting for us. Angie Craig is republican-lite who will flip flop based on who is giving her money.

AOC: I said this a couple of weeks ago: I would not be surprised if, when ICE funding started up again, we would start to see more civilian deaths at the hands of ICE. And that’s exactly what has happened.
We didn’t see things like this happening with the same degree when we froze ICE funding.

Don’t forget LBJ and the war on poverty. If the Dems could just divorce themselves from wall street and dirty money, grow a spine and a set of cajones, and walk the walk, that’d be super.
