Again, Minnesota is an island in the Midwest [View all]

During the pandemic we were the only state mandating masks. There was even a Sack cartoon showing how we are shoving away visitors from Wisconsin, Iowa and the Dakotas.

Now we see maps of states that are ready to ban abortion and, again, Minnesota is an island among these and also Michigan.

Will be one more answer when, while shoveling snow, our neighbors ask why we still live in Minnesota.
