As founder and CEO Mike Lindell continues to falsely claim that the 2020 election was stolen, Chaska-based MyPillow is auctioning off hundreds of pieces of equipment and subleasing manufacturing space after shopping networks and major retailers stop selling its products.

3 teachers from Milaca School District in Minnesota met with Senator Nathan Wesenberg (R-Little Falls) to talk about special education funding. When he learned that they were a part of the Education Minnesota teachers union, he accused them of teaching kids to be gay and hate white people and kicked them out of his office. His supporters are now harassing the teachers on social media.

South Metro went for Walz 2:1. Northwest Metro went Walz 3:2. St. Cloud went Walz, I repeat, went WALZ 4:3, and that should scare the state GOP. All opposition to the DFL should be begging for them to follow through on ranked choice voting at this stage: https://www.minnpost.com/elections/2022/11/how-every-minnesota-city-and-township-voted-for-governor-in-2022/ #MNpolitics

I detect a "well, that's over; we saved democracy" tone in the state/country. It's not over. They're still coming for it. Don't let up. Donate $50 to a campaign or political party in Minnesota, fill out the form, get $50 back from the state a week later. On January 1, do it again.

It's more effective then beating our social media chests.

Raising the age of consent from 16 to 18 will be another death blow to the state GOP.
