ST. PAUL, Minn. -- The Minnesota House was moving Thursday toward strengthening the state's protections for children and their families who come for gender-affirming care by making Minnesota a “trans refuge state,” bucking a national backlash against transgender rights. Democratic Gov. Tim Walz signed an executive order two weeks ago to protect the rights of people from Minnesota and other states to receive gender-affirming health care in the state. The bill on which the House was slated to begin debate Thursday night covers much of the same ground, but supporters said a statute would provide stronger, more permanent protections. Passage

Minnesota is the gate way to hell now. The refuge State for all who deny Jesus and say there is no god. Go ahead and defile the Temple of the Lord because your body is not yours but the Temple of the Holy Spririt.

Great plan. Send all the perverts to Minnesota. Give them free bus tickets. Make child mutilation punishable by prison in every other state.

Heard an interesting stat. A number of years ago, Fargo ND and Moorhead MN, cities separated by a river and a state border, had populations of 50,000 each. Today, Fargo is growing- 260,000 and a booming economy. Moorhead is down to 30,000 and looks like a ghost town. But it's gonna be "safe" for our trans friends. Or so they say. Oh yeah, and you get to pay 9.2% state income tax in Minnesota too. Another reason why you live on the west side of that river.

Maybe they can all move to Minnesota and have their own city. They can live however they want, enforce woke principles, and have social justice for all. They can call it something like Sodom or Gomorrah. A Trans, LGBTQ haven.

Although #9's population stats are inaccurate, the growth contrast between Fargo & Moorhead is stark. Over 20 years, Fargo, ND ballooned 70% to 126,000. Moorhead, hobbled by Minnesota's punitive taxes, grew by only 37% to 44,000.

When Sean Youra was 26 years old and working as an engineer, he started watching documentaries about climate change. Youra, who was struggling with depression and the loss of a family member, was horrified by what he learned about melting ice and rising extreme weather. He started spending hours on YouTube, watching videos made by fringe scientists who warned that the world was teetering on the edge of societal collapse — or even near-term human extinction.

The Louisville, Colorado City Council is facing harsh criticism after its recent proposal to ban the construction of new gas stations and auto service stations. Though council members say the ban is an effort to combat climate change, one local Republican spokesperson called it an abuse of power. If enacted, the ban would leave the 21,000 residents of Louisville with only six gas stations. A seventh would be permitted under the ordinance only if it were part of a large retail center. Charlie Danaher, the Republican spokesperson in Boulder County, Colorado, said on "Fox & Friends First" Thursday that the

A US contractor was killed on Thursday in Syria after a suspected Iranian-affiliated drone struck a facility housing US personnel in northeast Syria, the Pentagon said in a statement Thursday. Five US service members and an additional US contractor were wounded in the strike. “The intelligence community assess the UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) to be of Iranian origin,” according to the statement. In response, President Joe Biden authorized a precision airstrike “in eastern Syria against facilities used by groups affiliated with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC),” Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin said in the statement.

Abrams‘ 2022 campaign outraised her rival, Republican Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp, by $8 million, with the vast majority of donations coming from out of state, but ran out of money, lost the race and is still facing major debts. Despite her 2018 and 2022 losses, Abrams has not ruled out a third run for governor, prompting worry from some Georgia Democrats, according

Oil companies have come under increasing legal scrutiny and face allegations of defrauding investors, racketeering, and a wave of other lawsuits. But a new paper argues there’s another way to hold big oil accountable for climate damage: trying companies for homicide. The striking and seemingly radical legal theory is laid out in a paper accepted for publication in the Harvard Environmental Law Review. In it, the authors argue fossil fuel companies “have not simply been lying to the public, they have been killing members of the public at an accelerating rate, and prosecutors should bring that crime to the public’s attention”.
