In 1999, Walz was a teacher and founded his high school’s first gay-straight alliance. His old GSA students still remember him warmly.

Minnesota Gov. and Vice President hopeful Tim Walz (D) inspired generations of students during his time as a founder of the Gay-Straight Alliance (GSA) at the Mankato West High School in Minnesota. Now, some of his former GSA students are coming back to discuss all the ways in which Walz, as well as his wife Gwen, helped them personally.

      I just wanted to say that I appreciate you using the more economically efficient (and scientifically realistic) phrasing. Firing someone at the sun has low specificity, is easily attainable, and generally effective. Firing someone into the sun is incredibly difficult and expensive. Normally I’m not a fan of half-assing things, but in this specific case it makes so much more sense to just approximate and let physics and biology meet in the middle.
