I want to say again to academics who are interested in public writing. Look locally. Sure national outlets are good and I do that too, but this kind of visibility in your community can have a real impact.

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

No, the mail is not “the least of our worries.” It’s a fucking important worry. It is the only postal service that delivers to every address. They are only provider of complete mail services for overseas military bases and provide free overseas PO boxes. They help prepare passport apps. Ship meds…

Calling yourself a king doesn't make you one. Accidentally letting a peasant woman's cakes burn while you're hiding from Vikings is how you become a king.

Bottom line: Abortion bans are cruel. And women in this country are being harmed by them every day. Denying women life-saving care shouldn't happen - and yes, abortions can be life-saving care.

NEW: Minnesota was just ranked a top state both to retire and to raise a family. By investing in the things that matter – economic opportunity, health and safety, and strong communities – we’re building the best state for all Minnesotans from childhood through retirement.

He said he wasn't going to meddle with American's health care and now he's (unsurprisingly) going back on his word. Making it harder to see your doctor and pay your medical bills so he can give a massive tax break to billionaires and corporations. That’s what this is about.
