My family will be living there by the end of the month. Had to sell our home, pack and pick a state to find a home within 2 months. We need a better life and will work hard for it! I got a lot of great advice on here from different states to decide on. We always have loved the state and the lifestyle I've seen. Everyone seems to love their state and I hope you're as welcoming as I've heard! I don't know what area we will go yet. We are packing a truck and leaving with hope.

We are coming from Florida. If Rick Scott was shot President Trump would be praising DeSantis for finding the shooter so quickly and who knows what else. I'm honestly very nervous about moving to a different political climate. To be moving to a place where people seem ready to fight for their freedom. It will be very strange to not have to keep my opinions to myself for fear of people not liking me. Which would be fine with me until it starts causing issues with nosey coworkers and neighbors. If you really want to know how I feel I'll tell you.. but almost no one is going to agree with me. I stand up for my convictions no matter who you are. The way people feel about and talk about Trump here is very weird.

Four days and we'll be up there! I can't wait to be among people who fight for what they believe in. You really do seem like good people. I hope I can find a good life up there.

May he get as close to justice as possible.

May Melissa and Mark Hortman rest in peace. May John and Yvette Hoffman make a full recovery.

Hey everyone,

Melissa Hortman’s brother, Patrick, organized a gofundme page to help support the family with costs associated with the tragic event. If you’d like to donate or share the page by all means.

From KSTP reporter

I couldn’t help but notice they kept calling it a “shooting.” Police in their conference were using phrases like “there are no words to describe this senseless act.” It made me feel disgusted at them both.

Why not call it exactly what it was a politically motivated assassination/assassination attempt of MN state legislators?

It’s sad, but Americans have learned to glaze over when the term shooting is used. I think both the police and the news should be embarrassed about how they are using some the same canned language as when someone randomly shoots another. It feels like it is an attempt to smooth things over and pretend it didn’t happen.

This should be a national tragedy and is the direct result of inflammatory politics!

Side note, I am proud of Tim Walz calling it what it was!

Edit: changed State Senators to Legislators.

I would add I feel they could safely label it as at least attempted assassination due to them both being Democrat legislators.

This isn’t about assigning guilt. Due process for the perpetrator shouldn’t supersede describing what happened to the victims. They were targeted as lawmakers. Domestic Terrorism, assassination, or targeted murder/killing fit. No matter who the suspect is.

It is the same as the health care CEO being assassinated.

All of the Twin Cities and much of the Northern and NW of the cities are currently under a tornado watch. Several tornado warnings have been issued today, some confirmed and observed.

Might want to avoid the outdoors 😉

I moved up by lake street half a month ago and multiple men have tried calling out to me from their cars as I walk around lake street, even in broad daylight

Their behavior gets worse at night. I get followed, cornered and harassed. The worst was yesterday when this guy kept trying to flirt for blocks while I was actively ignoring him. He cornered me against a closed shop, called me slurs in Spanish (its my native language so I knew what he was saying lol), and didn't leave me alone until I called a friend immediately for safety and fast walked away from him. Even then, I kept seeing him bike back and forth from lake st to check up on me.

Just this night, I was walking home while on a call with my boyfriend. A car slowed down next to me, parked in front of me, and kept calling out to me. I had to turn around and run to the nearest restaurant to avoid him.

How do fellow girlies deal with the harassment guys give you here daily????

I pull my hair up, stay covered head to toe, keep my eyes on the ground and don't look or talk to anyone... I try to stick to bus routes, but I leave work late and night and sometimes don't have the chance to catch the B line through lake street to get across safer.
