It's time to get rid of the Caucus system. No one knows (or cares) what a BPOU is. No one wants to sit for hours debating useless resolutions with their neighbors because Karen or Hans down the street doesn't like porn - and we need candidates that can win in the electorate.

Not only is there a racist pattern of enforcement of gun laws in Chicago. Traffic stops, searches and gun arrests are being underreported, making oversight impossible. blockclubchicago.org/2022/08…

There's our answer. Your turn ;) What infringements would go too far? A ban on "assault weapons"? Eliminating permits to carry? One gun a month? Red Flag laws? What are some infringements that you wouldn't be ok with?

Unpopular opinion: Mowing a perfectly-kept lawn and flooding it with fertilizer and pesticide is one of many boomer things that needs to stop. Try doing nothing for a month. Start with #NoMowMay. Story by @mollyguthrey twincities.com/2022/04/30/no…

NEW. @mnguncaucus issues statement on Amir Locke killing:"Black men, like all citizens, have a right to keep and bear arms. Black men, like all citizens, have the right to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects against unreasonable search and seizure."

Each and every fresh snow reveals how much we’ve over-designed our streets & roads for cars, making them faster & more dangerous, and how much space we could reclaim for people and public life. We call them #sneckdowns. GIF via @fietsprofessor #sneckdown

Around 3 p.m. today, three young men attempted to violently carjack an older man in a black Mercedes SUV while @VanshayM’s GoPro camera was rolling.
During the attack, the victim was hit repeatedly in the head with what appeared to be a gun or a power drill.

A riveting, upsetting - even damning - story by @deenafaywinter about a recent acquittal, providing insight into what was happening on the Minneapolis streets in the days after George Floyd's murder. minnesotareformer.com/2021/0… via @mnreformer

For those seeking an explanation for why a suburban DFLer is weighing in on a contentious issue in a city she doesn’t represent…the donor class is firmly aligned with the status quo that got us George Floyd’s murder, a DOJ investigation and global infamy.

Weird — I was told that @mnguncaucus was “Bryan Strawser’s fake gun group”
Yet they’re the only ones who actually work to defend the 2nd Amendment at the State Capitol, and they’re suing the Minnesota State Fair.
Woah if true.
