@DavidAstinWalsh I find it self-conciously self-inflating.

I grew up in the Twin Cities and always found the quality-of-life arguments smug and self-satisfied.
But they’re also true. I haven’t lived there in almost 20 years but it’s absolutely the highest quality-of-life in America.

The one interesting thing I’ve learned living in Minneapolis is it’s hard to get people to move here, but when they do, they never leave.

@yhdistyminen "Lutheran housewives and retired schooltechers". Indeed, that describes the set of hags out there, with their henpecked in tow.
Kenton Vale, KY 🇺🇸 English
They have to pretend the anti-ICE activism was done by blue-haired themby tankies because the truth—99% of it was Lutheran housewives and retired schoolteachers upholding traditional Minnesotan values—is inconvenient to their worldview
Jarvis@jarvis_best
Minnesota used to be populated with kindly Norwegian Lutherans. Sure they were a bit naive and lefty, but they were mostly harmless. That’s all gone now. There’s no more Lutherans. Minnesota is now cynical tankie Communists pining for Stalin and Somalian pirates. That’s it. That’s all there is.

@vincempls Commie shit ain't a good look after the first half of this decade Minne's been having. Shithole hagville vibe is strong.

@smburns To hell still, by a different route. Why's Minne so henpecked?

@GrageDustin The place is loaded with miserable hag 'bortionettes.

@NortonMpls True mostly for small towers in a fairly large region to the west . Also local suburban white chicks who think "city" living signals something. I'd pick the East Side over the Mogadishu gayborhood mash-up and the 80's first Ave nostalgia. In any case, its easy to leave it.

This is my experience as a Minneapolis transplant as well.
There’s really no place in the country like Minneapolis, and once people get here they never want to leave.

@smburns I appreciate this here. I've interpreted what I think your politics to be, and here I see a pro-producer angle. Minne is impossibly "D" but not radical, economically. Matriarchal. It's bleeding earners. If D doesn't get more "conservative" it's lost. Me and mine want out.

@TrueNorth4ever @mngop @MinnesotaDFL I'd be more concerned with the bleeding of wealth and productive classes than the mere politics, but have fun with that.

The agent who killed Renee Good in cold blood is back on the job. Zero accountability.
This is exactly why we can’t give ICE another penny until real reforms are in place.

@Npakaderm Never really looked close at the old one to give a shit about so-called, "racism". It's enough to fly the old one because we don't care to live in Minnedishu.
Oak Park Heights, MN 🇺🇸 English
Any city/town that opts to fly the old flag is essentially announcing they are a sundown town to all outsiders. People from other states might not notice this "culture war" when they visit, but voting to fly the old, ugly, racist flag says a lot about a town's people.
Matt Hammerman@HammermanMatt
OK, for those saying the new flag looks like Somalia’s, ⬇️. Somali flag actually looks more like the OLD flag which itself looks like 15 other lame blue state flags. New flag was designed by a dude from Luverne. That 8-point star is also on the rotunda floor of the state Capitol

@aintscarylarry As he quipped, "we'll have the n*****s votin' for us for 50 years". LBJ was a jackass. It was all crude, pandering politics. His, "Great Society" bombed.

@JohnJHarwood He's certainly described the likes of you in similar terms, whitey. Your ilk condescends to non-whites, as though they're puppies who would be lost but for your bullshit.

@naomirwolf @realBrandonGill Alternatives to killing? "Desperate" 21 year old? What 21 year old can't raise a kid? Are we "desperate" because the college plan needs a diversion? That great material wealth plan needs to kill to keep rolling?
English
What policies do you propose to support desperate 21 year old women find alternatives? Sincere question @realBrandonGill and you can come on my podcast to spell out the policies. So tired of easy pro life clips which are heartrending but which propose no alternatives for desperate young women.

@RBReich Check the 2020 total number of ballots submitted and get back to us on your point. Your preferred party offers near zero leadership potential. Lots of bitching though.

Reminder that any political party trying to make it harder to vote is sending a clear message: they can't win on their ideas alone.

@SenSchumer Half a century of poorly run urban areas dumping votes out-state to misrepsent the locals in congress.

This decision upends half a century of precedent, defies the spirit of the American civil rights movement and reverses generations of progress towards racial justice.
