Calgary had a military parade. Although not all the Grizzlies would start, so some just sat there in gathering pools of oil.

Elections. Like groceries. An old word we don’t use often. But it’s a good word.

Two#Minnesota#lawmakers have been shot in their separate homes.

Local news stations#identified#the victims as state senator John Hoffman and state representative Melissa Hortman. Both are members of the Democratic-Farmer-Labor party. There is little information on the suspect at this time.

I bet zero dollars the shooter has zero MAGA hats.

From the looks of those officers faces it seems like they found it funny, probably keeping score with a big whiteboard at the precinct to see who has the highest "score"

And the shooter is on his way to the local protests, no doubt.

My other comment is somewhat cold, so I’ll shut up. This isn’t good no matter which “side” is the perpetrator, obviously.

Some people wanted citizens to rise up and go after politicians but I'm guessing, "wait no, not like that".

Usually there's less security detail for state-level politicians. Not a good sign. It will intimidate people from running for office.

It's wild that the police encountered the shooter at one of the homes and exchanged fire but the suspect still managed to get away.
