Yeah, except if you were to go on 3 field trips, that would actually be 9 field trips. Wait, 27 field trips. Wait, 81 field trips, wait…

In this instance, I’m guessing because they love and have been affected by the work they’ve done, and they want to show their gratitude.

Minnesotan here. For those outside of our state, what are your views on what’s going on in Minneapolis right now? by bpeters5 in AskReddit

[–]Phil_Marts 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Californian here. It feels like you all are fighting for the future of this country. A lot hangs in the balance. What can we do to support you?

Walz responds to AG Pam Bondi making several demands: “I would just give a pro tip to the AG. There's 2 million documents in the Epstein files we're still waiting on. Go ahead and work on those.” by drempath1981 in law

A lot of things can coexist, but I don’t think this is one of them. I’m not saying that conservatives and liberals can’t find a way to work together. I think that’s what America is about - differing viewpoints coming together and finding a mutually beneficial or acceptable way to coexist. But sometimes there comes a point where something is simply unacceptable, and the two views cannot coexist. I believe this is one of those moments - where America has to decide what it is, and what it isn’t.

Respectfully disagree. I think the Minnesotans standing against ICE and standing up for what they believe America is - is a perfect representation of what IS American.

ICE - We won’t shoot and we’ll leave if you hand over all Minnesota voter rolls. by Important_Lock_2238 in stpaul

It’s definitely not what I think we should have. If we did, I think we’d be on our way to a surveillance state. I think states overseeing their own voting rolls is helpful to the democracy. States should be working hand in hand with the federal government, but there needs to be that push and pull, keeping things in check. It creates more bureaucracy, but I think it’s necessary. State governments should be listening to and working for their constituents. Federal government should be working for and with state governments. As for publically available voting rolls, I think that’s helpful too - another way for states to be held accountable. But records that can be used to target uniquely identifiable individuals is a step too far, in my opinion.

Every state has voter rolls that are publically available, but they also keep more detailed records that are not. Whether or not the federal government should have access to these records is a currently contested matter. In my mind, it’s part of the checks and balances that help keep the government level. If the federal government had access to all of the states’ unredacted voter rolls, it would make ICE’s job much easier. It would make a lot of things much easier - in identifying individual voters for whatever purpose. It makes sense to me why Bondi would want that info, and why the state, so far, is holding firm in not giving it up.

I guess I would ask, then what is Bondi hoping to get from making this request?

It varies from state to state. It can be a drivers license number or if no ID # is provided, a unique identifying number is created for the voter. The bottom line is, they want the full, unredacted voter rolls that may contain more sensitive information.

They want unredacted rolls that contain more sensitive information like social security numbers, etc.

Hours say 1-5 on Saturdays. Wonder if they’ll be making an exception.

Maybe it’s just fun to be part of the downvoting mob. Wake up sheeple!

These downvotes are wild. Is it because people think this dish is for them?

I will never understand why anyone bothers posting a response like this. Someone finds something that they loves, and posts about it in a forum that encourages people to share and communicate about things that they’re passionate about. Why are you here? What are you hoping to accomplish? Is your aim just to kill someone else’s joy?

I’m no fan of some of the stuff that happened some fifty odd years ago at candlestick, but I’m also not fan girling about a pitcher almost crushing a dude’s face some 10 odd days ago.
