- It’s called Minneapolis. Not “inner city Minneapolis.”
- Replying to @TheRickWilsonIs there any talk that "The voters will slaughter us if we DO pass this bill?" (since it so clearly only benefits big corps/wealthiest, significantly costs middle/working class and escalates the deficit)
- Replying to @ShelbyKStewart @ShelbyKentStewa and @TheRickWilsonAgreed. As a state senator in Minnesota, I don't have a vote. But I do use my platform to call attention to the realities of this bill.
- 🎯❤️💪 @JoyceWhiteVance! “Decorum is the new shorthand for telling people to stay in their place and drink from the watercooler marked for people like them.” This is why I highly recommend her substack:Why are people so afraid of trans people? Hiding behind "decorum" rules like Tennessee did when it expelled 2 Black legislators.

- The past couple of weeks have held a lot of loss & sadness in my circle. This is a comforting and uplifting reminder. Thank you @GurdeepPandher 🙏🏻❤️Sadness is precious. Don't reject it as something you didn't need it. Sadness helped you in many ways, such as seeing humanity, relating with others, gaining new perspectives, and, most importantly, empowering you to find your inner joy & strength. From my cabin, I'm sending joy.
00:00 - Tonight’s COVID update from @ASlavitt is particularly good — full of helpful info, wisdom & a couple of chuckles.COVID Update July 8: Today I testified publicly to the MN House Committee on the Pandemic. My remarks ended with 5 pieces of advice for the public. 1/
- Today’s a very good day to be on the shore of Lake Superior…
- By all means. Make sure my Woodbury neighbors know I think statues celebrating Confederate soldiers - who fought the US, incl brave Minnesotans - should come down. Most will agree. PS. My ancestors fought on the wrong side of history & are on those statues. #BringThemDownThis Post is from an account that no longer exists. Learn more
