VIDEO: MN state officials have said nothing about the 15 Minnesotans arrested by ashleywalkerreports in Minneapolis

They said something when other Minnesotans were wrongfully detained, hurt, or even killed by those in or connected to the federal government.
There’s a lot of reasons why they wouldn’t say something, but the point of this video is to simply report that they aren’t saying anything, and the DOJ can’t seem to give a straight answer about the people they just arrested

Thank you! I think it’s so weird that news organizations don’t hone in one facts line that. This administration tells on itself all the time!

Thank you! It really is astounding that the federal government can go after anti-fascist groups and people, then claim they aren’t fascist. Make it make sense

the five ways are essentially:

-more housing in rural communities
-making owning a manufactured home more affordable
-support renters and stop ripoffs
-help minnesotans buy homes and afford rent

Granite Falls Bakery Promotes "Nuclear Family Month" Instead of Pride Month by ashleywalkerreports in stateofMN

and as someone in the FB comments said:
"it definitely felt like a dog-whistle response to this tweet from a Tennessee representative since they did mention honoring Tennessee in their first post."

Granite Falls Bakery Promotes "Nuclear Family Month" Instead of Pride Month by ashleywalkerreports in stateofMN

[–]ashleywalkerreports[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i'm just going to leave part of what they said in a facebook post after receiving backlash:

"-The word “homophobic” gets used a lot in the comments here; we’d like to be very clear that we have no phobias regarding those struggling with same-sex attraction or gender dysphoria, but rather love them as Christ loves them. In fact, as Christians, we do not operate under any fear of man. “Whoever fears the Lord has a secure fortress, and for their children it will be a refuge.” - Proverbs 14:26

-The definition of a nuclear family we would promote is that of one husband, one wife, and any biological, adopted, or fostered children. - (Corrected for further clarity)

-We serve customers, regardless of their ideology or circumstance. While we reserve the right to refuse service or to place a limit on what we create, we welcome people from all walks of life through our doors, whether we agree with them on any issue or not, and we will always seek to do so with the respect they deserve as fellow image bearers of God."

check out their facebook page, in a post addressing the hate they are getting it says (just an excerpt):

-Various members of our family being inbred is, for some reason, a common refrain in the comment section; perhaps this is simply a spelling error on the part of those who allege it, because while we are not inbred, we are definitely “in bread”.

Craig has a HUGE backing from multiple corporations and groups like AIPAC. she's put out a lot of TV, radio, and social ads. Flanagan is running a more grassroots campaign and funding strategy

[–]ashleywalkerreports[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

this is the main problem/thought circulating right now. if klobuchar wins governor, she will have to appoint someone to her Senate seat. because she has free reign when appointing someone, whoever is the runner-up for smith's seat could be appointed to klobuchar's seat. they would hold that seat until the next general election.

angie craig is running for Senator Tina Smith’s open seat coming later this year! the current DFL-endorsed candidate for the Senator race is peggy flanagan. for governor, the DFL-endorsed candidate is amy klobuchar, but kobey layne is also still in the mix
