also (not so) weirdly a good way to win state level office seems to be to have a scandinavian name, i've been teaching in minnesota for about fifteen years and i don't usually see near as high a proportion of scando names in my classes as in the primary tickets

one fall ticket is going to be between christiansen and christensen !

i could be born at the dawn of the age of 'dallas'

hope it gets signed so every butthead with the untappd app on their phone can stop acting like they are rosa parks because they can't buy beer on sunday on facebook

You can buy beer on Facebook now?

thanks to the mn legislature yes!

Yay Republicans!

ventura couldn't do it! wonder what changed? i'd love a postmortem on this

if it's like other states, your state legislature is now republican frat bros who replaced the grumpy old men -- still skeptical of change, but like beer

Doing one very easy and ludicrously long-deferred thing that everyone will rejoice over before then launching into all sorts of assholery.

i saw a map on twitter, can't find it now, that indicated change in dem votes (esp. up north) as well as rep votes (esp. in suburbs) from the last attempt

uh

Punches thrown when fight erupts inside Minneapolis Institute of Art; one involved had look of neo-Nazi
An argument, possibly involving neo-Nazis, turned physical in a gallery of valuable 18th century art.

A shoving match broke out in a most unlikely place, the typically serene Minneapolis Institute of Art, where three people who appeared to be neo-Nazis fought with several others in another group of activists, a witness said Sunday.

Security guards arrived at the mayhem Saturday afternoon on the museum's third floor, broke up the confrontation and had one of the reputed neo-Nazis on the floor, said museum visitor Will Bildsten.

A friend of Bildsten's said he saw punches thrown during the fracas.

Institute Director Kaywin Feldman said some of those involved were with about two dozen people protesting outside in opposition to anti-immigration sentiment in the U.S. They hoisted a banner with slogans in Spanish and English: "Una clase, una lucha — contra fronteras [one class, one struggle — against borders]!" and below that, "Don't deport our fellow workers."

Fliers handed out by the protesters outside identified the participants as with the defense arm of the Industrial Workers of the World union.

When the group said to look like neo-Nazis entered the admission-free museum, several from the protest outside followed, Feldman said.

They made their way to the third floor amid the 18th century European art, where the tension turned physical, the director said. She said one person among the trio was attacked but didn't want to press charges.

The Star Tribune reports a "trio" of guys "said to look like neo-Nazis" entered the museum on Saturday afternoon and headed for the third floor. According to a witness, they were there to "guard" classical European (read: white) art that happened to be placed near a protest-themed exhibit with photos of Martin Luther King Jr. and Mahatma Gandhi. (The horror.)

this is awful. what is happening here??
