MN Governor Tim Walz has signed a law guaranteeing free breakfast and lunch for all students in the state, regardless of how much money their parents make
Michigan, a state I had wrote off as doomed to fall into maga hell before the midterms but got its first dem majority in 38 years, passed sensible gun reform that will require cops to remove guns from homocide risk individuals or loose their job, expanded the civil rights act to include LGBTQA, repealed the abortion ban, and ended right to work ALL ON THE SAME FUCKING DAY THIS WEEK. All of which has major support from the voters from what I can tell.
Me too, I think the midwestern states have realized they have an opportunity and are taking it. In Michigan The MSU shooting and the insanity of the right leaning candidates and neighbors of most people seems to have finally broken the camels back in the state (also the bast amount of COVID deaths being from republican areas in the state didn’t hurt either).
Like look up the republican governor candidate who was hand picked by Trump she’s hilariously crazy.
Edit: I should also mention that a huge chunk of the Michigan DNC is now composed of/heavily influenced by what in the US political compass would be considered left wing orgs who have done a great job of organizing, protesting, but then also working within the party when the time calls for it to secure changes and security.
There were so many of them! Also the fact a couple republicans did election fraud while screaming about how the 2020 election was stolen really turned off a lot of center right people.
