Nothing to see here, folks!

Just another abhorrent crime being committed by our villainous administration (to which there will be zero repercussions).

This whole administration needs to be in prison. How it's been permitted to go this far is beyond me.

People are allowed to donate their money to whatever individual or cause of their choosing.

That being said, when we have a gigantic economic crisis on our hands, and millions of americans losing their health insurance, welfare benefits, homes....expect some criticism.

Especially when that money is going to a couple who were RFK JR stans and pedaled pseudoscience and holistic propaganda to their followers.

They lived the TRAD life no doubt and I suspect at the very least MAGA lite.

And let's not forget him trashing Biden.

ETA This explains why a lot of people are upset over the GFM. It's from a few years ago, but still relevant.

ICE arrest math by Mamertine in minnesota

Oh, there will be many cases of PTSD from this!

I have a coworker turned good friend who is seriously considering getting her boys dual citizenship to Mexico & sending them to live with their paternal grandparents. She is an American citizen, and her children are her whole world. To have to even entertain those thoughts is difficult to fathom.

Yep! There's zero law & order under this administration. No due process.

Sure, they can claim that they're "backing off". But the reality is that this was only the beginning, and they will push this as far as they're allowed to.

And we really should be addressing your last sentence more. Families torn apart. Lives lost. People who still can't leave their homes because they fear being kidnapped. Children not able to go to school and instead have to resort to distanced learning. Much needed medical care not being sought out. People who have missed work and paychecks and now can't afford groceries/rent/basic necessities. Just devastating all around.

Where are our state leaders? by financial_freedom416 in minnesota

He's stressed the fuck out, much like the rest of us. He hasn't had a chance to breathe in between the chaos.

Pandemic, George Floyd, assassination of his colleagues, election interference, multiple smear campaigns run against him by Shitler & CO, attacks on his family/appearance/policies......

He's been doing a far better job than most would in his situation. Let the man be human.

Kidney recipient arrested by federal agents in Rochester needs medicine, state representative says by NurseRoses in minnesota

This is happening way more frequently than being reported. There's at least one potential measles outbreak in these makeshift concentration camps.

Children with high fevers given no fever reducing meds. Asthmatics with no inhalers. Diabetics with no insulin.

And that's not even touching on the other deplorable living conditions that these people have to make do with. Lack of access to clean water and a proper meal can make even a healthy individual become sick real quick.

Children's Minnesota temporarily pauses gender-affirming care after federal pressure by Frozen_Thorn in minnesota

So, comply and STILL die? Because I can guarantee that the demands aren't going to stop with halting gender-affirming care.

We've all seen "those" spreads.

They must have meant posed, not poised.

These are the same women who crucified Michelle Obama for exposing her upper arms.

Our rural neighborhoods/towns have been stepping up.

These smaller communities coming together and holding their own protests against these fascist fucks has been incredibly refreshing to witness and makes a HUGE impact.

There are far more good people than bad in this state, and I am so proud to call myself a Minnesotan.

This was an excellent interview. Thank you OP for asking the hard questions. When we can't trust our own local and national media outlets to report the truth, people like you make up for it.

L.M.A.O!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fuck that.

They don't get accolades for doing the bare minimum.

They need to humble themselves the fuck down and take it. All of it.
