  • What changes if more people showed up to vote?

    One answer emerges by comparing Minnesota and Tennessee—two states with vastly different voter turnout rates. Minnesota leads the nation, with nearly 80 percent of eligible voters participating in the 2020 election. With that, Minnesotans have elected leaders who have advanced a popular agenda: universal school meals, free public college tuition, paid family and medical leave, and the restoration of voting rights for formerly incarcerated people. According to polling, each of these proposals is broadly popular across the entire country.

    Does Minnesota always have to be so awesome and wonderful? But this is not a complaint.

    Hey, Tennessee. You can do better. Try a little harder. Try.

    Rock on, Minnesota!


















  • Thank you for posting this.

    The federal indictment against Adams states:

    On April 21, 2022, the Turkish official messaged the Adams staffer, noting that Armenian Genocide Remembrance Day was approaching, and repeatedly asked the Adams staffer for assurances that Adams would not make any statement about the Armenian Genocide…. The Adams staffer confirmed that Adams would not make a statement about the Armenian Genocide. Adams did not make such a statement.

    It seems that after genocide is committed, there is a great effort placed to keeping it under wraps - even though decades have passed. Perhaps because the truth keeps surfacing.

    In light of the ongoing genocide by the Israeli government against the people of Palestine, it would be prudent for the USA to be mindful of this.
