Top hit on Google News for the past few hours if you search âgender ideologyâ â a term outlets like CBS have started using without scare quotes, is a presser from the far-right group responsible for the âLGBT-free zonesâ in Poland on a panel held at the UN between Manhattan, DNH & ex-gay groups.

A major reason you've been getting so much pushback from Minneapolis DFLers today is that the state party actively hampers the operation and decisions of the city party, and we just got through a very frustrating election cycle full of state DFL meddling that left us with a very bad taste.
