Happy birthday, Tom Weber! There’s no one else I’d rather make s’mores with than you. You’re my person and I love you forever.

In Ojibwe, my name means ‘speaks in a loud and clear voice woman.’ Today, I’m officially launching my campaign for the U.S. Senate to go to D.C. and speak in a loud and clear voice for ALL of Minnesota.

Senator Tina Smith paved the way for so many women throughout her entire career. She uses her voice to fiercely defend people the people of Minnesota. She’s fought for small businesses, farmers, and those who been overlooked so they can claim their economic future.

Kendrick Lamar’s flared pants won the Super Bowl.

Live music is salve on my broken heart. Don’t let them steal your joy.

We’re out here in the snow getting out the vote for Garrison McMurtrey, our next Ramsey County Commissioner! What do we do when we start to lose hope? We organize, organize, organize!

What he said!👇🏼

“I think sometimes genre is a code word to keep us in our place as artists, and I just want to encourage people to do what they’re passionate about” - Beyoncé after winning Best Country Album for “Cowboy Carter”

Knowing who we are and where we come from is power. Happy Black History Month!

How it started vs. How it’s going Congratulations to newly elected DNC Chair @kenmartin.bsky.social! Let’s go, buddy!

I’m enthusiastically supporting Ken Martin for DNC Chair. I have known Ken my entire political life. Ken’s actions speak volumes about his commitment to our shared values and to real people.

Thanks to the new Amtrak Borealis, more people are visiting new cities and supporting Minnesota’s thriving small business economy. Nearly 40 people either board or exit each day in Red Wing. That’s nearly 15,000 visitors to Red Wing this year all because of this new train.

My mentor Paul Wellstone taught me a lot about politics—including how to win on your progressive values. We've got to let people know we give a damn about their lives & that we’re going to fight for them. www.thenation.com/article/poli...

Today, Donald Trump tried to cut off funding for law enforcement, schools, health care, and child care providers. That’s money that Minnesotans rely on to keep our kids and our communities safe.

Along with historic investments like school meals and our Child Tax Credit, we’re ensuring food shelves like Today’s Harvest have the support they need to fight hunger.   I volunteered to hear how they’ve leveraged state funding to build on their work to end hunger.

I have so much respect for St. Paul Council President Jalali. She is one of the bravest women I have ever met - what a powerful demonstration of leadership. www.mprnews.org/story/2025/0...

Young people doing live musical theatre is bringing me joy. What is bringing you moments of respite and joy?

Indigenous people have been here since time immemorial. We are still here. We will remain here into the future.

By prioritizing children and families in their policies, the Walz-Flanagan administration has made Minnesota the second-best state in the nation for raising a family.

Drives me crazy. If you don’t want to fight say so. Stop trying to discourage others from doing the work you’re too jaded to do. You try 50 times and win the 51st. That’s how it works. Progress happens when you find ways to make it matter. And sometimes it’s just your persistence.

Don’t let this guy change your heart.

Tom decided to dress like an extra from Reservoir Dogs for church today.

"If peace means keeping my mouth shut in the midst of injustice and evil, I don't want it." MLK, Jr, 1956. The Rev. Dr. King died fighting for justice and equality for the working poor. As you remember his birth don’t misremember his life.

We have an opportunity to pass a budget that will provide Minnesota with a strong economy for years to come, while protecting the investments we’ve made in children and families during our six years in office. Our dedication to providing services for those who need them remains.

Welp. We’ll get ‘em next year, guys.

At the time, everyone, including Republicans, understood how bad it was. Then, brick by brick, they built a foundation of lies to justify doing what they know, deep down, to be wrong. Trump betrayed the country. And so do they.

Uff da.

Let’s go, @vikings.bsky.social!

Power suits? Nah, we have power skirts. Happy Ribbon Skirt Day, fam! #nationalribbonskirtday #ribbonskirtday #ribbonskirt
