Reports of hang-wringing about Walz from "the business community"....
But if I'm not mistaken, Minnesota has long been home to several blue chip companies--3M, Target, Best Buy, General Mills, United Health etc.--who remain in the state. 🤷♀️

It's not a political statement.
It's not an attempt to control or kill you. (Circulating right-wing conspiracy).
It's not a sign that you are weak.

Wow, wrong conclusion. The right one: if you don’t have permission to touch someone, don’t do it. And the most important: no one wants to see your private parts, no matter how enamoured you are with them. So keep them in your pants and your zipper zipped. This should not be hard

The question is not whether the kids should walk out but why every adult in the building doesn’t walk out with them.
@Le202nard
I just received an email from my kids' principal stating any students that participate in a planned walkout to protest gun violence in schools will receive an unexcused absence. Yeah, let's make it the kids' fault & not the adults entrusted with their safety.
My kids can walk.
