    May 21, 2019

  • Speaker asks if Democrats deserve the black vote in Minneapolis speech

    May 21, 2019

    Growing up poor and black, Kofi Montzka considered herself a liberal. But after deeper consideration in college, she concluded that the Republican Party’s message was better for low-income people and racial minorities. Instead of telling those groups that they’re smart and equal, she said, liberals send the message that “there’s some barrier, so no matter how hard you try there’s nothing you can do. … That message is incredibly destructive and terrible.” http://www.startribune.com/conservatives-challenge-whether-democrats-de...

  • Walz, Minnesota lawmakers end budget impasse ahead of Monday deadline

    May 21, 2019

    Gov. Tim Walz and top Democratic and GOP lawmakers arrived at a hard-fought spending deal Sunday without the controversial gas tax hike the governor wanted, but with schools gaining significantly more money than Republicans had sought. The compromise, ending a weeks­long impasse, boosts the general fund overall by 6%, but each side had to jettison priorities - Walz is denied much of the new revenue he wanted for road improvements, while a health care tax that Republicans sought to end survives...

    The Red Lake Lady Warriors lost in 5 innings to Blackduck 21-4 in Red Lake on Monday, May 13, 2019. The Junior Varsity also dropped their game. Part of the problem could have been they were released from class at 10:30 that morning for an 11 AM game, which would have only gave them about 10 to 15 minutes to get their uniforms on, get to the field, and start playing. They didn't have much time to warm up. The loss gave Red Lake a 3-3 record on the season. Red Lake's Lady Warriors will play Pine...

  • The Alabama abortion ban is just the latest in a long, deliberate and strategic attack on Black women

    May 21, 2019

    It's difficult for women like myself and those younger to imagine a time when Roe v. Wade didn't exist. A time when there were back-alley abortions, when hangers substituted for safe medical procedures and when an overall infringement on autonomy over our own bodies was as American as apple pie. It's pretty much impossible to even fathom the world in which our mothers and grandmothers existed, but thanks to Republican efforts around the country, we are very well on a fast track backwards to...
