Love her!

I'll repeat that what is destroyed, makes way for new and better things.

We must step up against hate. 💗

NOW: Protesters outside Tesla facility in Minneapolis for the second week in a row. Holding signs reading “No Nazis No Kings” “Reminder Nazis Are Bad”, they’re being met by horns of approval with the occasional man in Cybertruck yelling things like “you guys are fucking stupid!”.

Blow up your legislators phones!!!

As of this morning: Over 206,000 children have benefitted from our nation-leading Child Tax Credit, with nearly $270 million going into the pockets of hardworking Minnesotans.   Let’s keep it going!

Second weekend of #TeslaTakedown protests has events already scheduled in: Tempe, AZ Rockville, MD Boston, MA Golden Valley, MN Maplewood, MN Wexford, PA Tysons Corner, VA Seattle, WA ...and London, for the Brits in the house. Find details at the site - and find out how to host your own.

Trump signed an executive order, but Ellison said that because it lacked congressional authority or a statutory mandate, it did not take precedence over state law.

If you’re wondering why I declined to talk to the NYTimes, then you haven’t been following my account for very long. They bear a direct responsibility for the current situation we find ourselves in, and I responded by laying out my position and that I would only talk to @jamellebouie.net

When Trump said he could shoot someone and get away with it, too many people assumed it wouldn't be them.

Hooray!

HEADS UP! We need to give this story more attention. This is the next phase - investigations of those who criticize Trump, Musk or SCOTUS. It’s already started. It is a campaign of intimidation designed to silence criticism. wapo.st/3X8d75G

Time for a refresher!

Who is in charge of the spreadsheet of war criminals?

Or how much money the work of these people do actually saves us in the long term. This is reckless, cruel, and extremely short-sighted.

Cutting spending is not the same as saving money. I can "cut spending" by not paying my bills one month, but I will not save money because I will have late fees. Many projects is the US government spend $1 today to save $10 down the road. That is the cost savings we need to be striving for.

I miss peaceful slumber.

The University of Minnesota crunched the numbers. They estimate that if NIH indirects are cut to 15%, our university will lose $100 million to $130 million per year. If the same rate cut is expanded to all federal agencies, we will lose $155 million to $188 million per year.

There was no accident. The word is recklessly.

If you currently work in the federal government, have recently lost your federal job or work with federally funded grants or research, reach out to the Duluth News Tribune with information on how changes at the federal level are affecting Northeastern Minnesota and Northwestern Wisconsin.

Female character you worship like a goddess.

The checks and balances of government, how a bill becomes a law...it's all there. I am 50+ and I can STILL sing the Preamble by memory. Basic civics isn't that complicated.

We really need to bring back SchoolHouse Rock.

Reminder: you didn’t dream this

We the People are pissed! #50501movement #FiftyFiftyOne #BuildTheResistance #PoliticalRevolution #NoVoiceUnheard #NoKings #VoicesOfFlorida #VoicesUnheard @polrev.bsky.social

Missouri State Capitol protest- in 15 degree weather with the threat of snow well over 100 people came out today to protest the egregious overreach and bigotry of our current government. #50501

It is very healthy for our ecosystem. Die ash borers. Die.

local girl trapped in turtleneck, sources say her last words were “i can totally get this over my glasses and ponytail”

Wisconsin is *finally* trying to recover from years of gerrymandering. Losing this Supreme Court election would set them back for years! For Minnesotans, this is the equivalent of clearing your neighbors sidewalk when you have your snowblower out. We help each other.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

This episode features Melinda McGraw, who played Melissa Scully on the X-files. I live it when my political and my X-files worlds overlap!

The news reporting the torture and murder of Sam Nordquist separate from the government effort to erase trans people from existence is actually appalling. It’d be like reporting Ricki Lake’s house randomly burned down without mentioning the California wildfires
