Former Iron Range legislator Carly Melin (who has since gone on to the great non-profit sinecure reward that awaits all DFL legislators) on the protests at the Blue Line on Fort Snelling yesterday:
The same people who oppose public transit are mad that public transit was disrupted by a demonstration and even though those demonstrators were arrested there should have been more laws to arrest them under.🤦🏼♀️

Er, Ms. Melin? Why shouldn’t we be mad? We paid for it.
God knows you didn’t.
This tweet makes no sense. That facepalming image quite apt.
Said it 6-7 years ago, I’ll say it again.
Carly Melin: Cute as a button and about as smart.
She said with an air of privelege of a person who has never been on public transit and never will be. But, she supports it, for the rest of us. I mean, just imagine how captive of an audience there would be if more of us were forced into public transit. The elites could protest, block our way to work, and we’d be stuck, no way to turn around. We’d be blocked into further submission at the whims of the ruling class.
One thing about Jesse V is that he admitted up front he supported the train to get people off the road so he could drive his sports car without having to slow down or stop.
