Walz announces that Rep. Melissa Hortman is dead as a result of a "politically motivated assassination"
If you don't think targeting Melissa Hortman, the Speaker of the Minnesota House and the second-most powerful woman in MN politics was meant to send a message, buddy I don't know what to tell ya.
Hortman and her husband are dead, says Walz.
If you can't protest today (like me, unfortch) or even if you can but also have some extra cash lying around, donate:
Two Minnesota lawmakers are in grave condition following apparent βtargetedβ shooting, officials say
Authorities believe the shooter was impersonating law enforcement

Iβve activated the State Emergency Operations Center.
Local law enforcement in Champlin and Brooklyn Park have the full resources of the State of Minnesota behind them.
We are monitoring the situation closely and will share more information soon.

once again I must tap my own sign
Johnathan Joss died a hero. He was murdered for being gay, he went out protecting his trans husband from being executed. They burned down their home and killed their pets and then they murdered Joss while trying to murder his husband. The New York times can barely muster "fatally shot." I hate this.
ah, an exactly wrong take
the reason mon mothma becomes the figurehead of the rebel alliance and that the alliance gets catalyzed is because Ghorman protesters are radicalized and armed and pushed into accelerationist action by a terrorist leader
this isn't subtext it's text
oh I see, when the pope chooses a new name, Christians are all for it and address him as such, but a TRANS person chooses a new nameβ
Just read a thing about how there wouldnβt be an American pope until the country was in true political decline. I canβt stop crying, we did it kids.
