Let's DO this!!!

Nothing more Minnesotan than jumping in a frozen lake for a good cause. I joined Team Tessa at the Polar Plunge to benefit Special Olympics and celebrate ability, community, and inclusion for all.

Please tell me why we need Democratic "centrists" again? Why? www.notus.org/money/tom-su...

Praying for Rondale’s family and the entire Vikings community. www.startribune.com/vikings-wide...

On February 19, 1942, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed E.O. 9066, authorizing the forced relocation & incarceration of more than 125,000 Japanese Americans, solely because of their heritage.

Illinois was the first in the Midwest to raise the minimum wage to $15/hour. For 1.4 million workers, it was their first raise in nearly a decade. I promised as a candidate to build an economy that works for everyone — and that's been a priority of my administration.

Did you know Putin is murdering more Russian soldiers every two months than America lost the entire Vietnam War? For what?

More of this, please. The folks in this grassroots group are heroes. Haven Watch lives by the promise, “No One Walks Alone.” Day or night, they show up. When people are released from ICE detention, volunteers meet them in the cold, disoriented, and exhausted. Beautiful and devastating all at once.

Remembering my dear friend Eric Dane.

If a member of your family in the US military gets killed in Iran soon, you can console yourself by knowing that they died to distract from their Commander-in-Chief's pedophilia.

Andrew must be regretting not being born in the US. If he had, he could have avoided being arrested for his ties to Jeffrey Epstein by becoming president.

The year is 2043. President Moggthot just announced a successful raid by Literal Seal Team Six on the submerged remnants of Mar A Lago, capturing the cocaine-desiccated husks of the Trump children and finally bringing closure to “The Bugs Bunny War.” Trillions of US dollars remain in Saudi banks.

Wondering if any republicans in Congress who flipped out when Clinton and Lynch ran into each other, or wouldn’t shut up about Jack Smith “conspiring” with Biden, would have anything to say about this shit.

😬

Must be nice to have a functioning Supreme Court.

a government for, by and of degenerates

The Constitution says a president can’t trade power for money. Trump pardoned a billionaire, then that billionaire’s company ended up holding most of Trump’s digital coin. That’s a favor for cash. That’s a quid pro quo. That’s corruption. Worthy of impeachment.

“Illiberal governments tend to live or die by their ability to sustain corruption. They rely for support on a network of oligarchs, who in turn are tied to the administration’s success. It happened in Hungary, Turkey, Russia and increasingly, it is happening here.” www.nytimes.com/2026/02/18/o...

Met some antifa super soldiers and gave away some drawings.

Fair comparison.

NEW: Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer’s husband has been barred from entering Labor Department HQ after two female staffers accused him of sexual assault inside the building, according to NYT. One alleged incident was captured on security cameras and is now part of a criminal investigation.

In the 1800s, a slave owner purchased over a dozen people in Georgia and set the foundation for his family’s generational wealth Generations later, a railroad company owned by one of his descendants is using eminent domain to seize land of Black farmers

Another great sad cartoon from @deadder.bsky.social

Here’s a podcast that does a good job of laying out what’s at stake, and why all of us need to get off the sidelines to demand change.

Today, the Trump administration repealed the endangerment finding: the ruling that served as the basis for limits on tailpipe emissions and power plant rules. Without it, we’ll be less safe, less healthy and less able to fight climate change—all so the fossil fuel industry can make even more money.

THIS 👇 "You're not alone in being able to figure out how we push back and come up with new solutions."

“I am somebody” shaped how millions of us saw ourselves as kids, including me. That message mattered. It still does. Rest in power, Jesse Jackson 🙏🏽

Counterpoint: Don’t upload your medical records to any LLM. That’s fucking insane.

Eugenicist looking for disabilities and preexisting conditions.

Today the Minnesota House gaveled into session for the first time since we lost Speaker Hortman, Mark, and Gilbert. In the spirit of Melissa, we commit to doing our work with humility, grace, and compassion.

Civil rights leader Jesse Jackson has passed away at the age of 84. My thoughts are with his family. I wanted to share this clip from his appearance on Sesame Street in 1971. His important words ring just as true today as they did back then.

I spent my childhood inside of American concentration camps. I know one when I see one. And that is what ICE is building.

i'm watching spike lee's remarkable documentary FOUR LITTLE GIRLS and as much as i want to focus on the film i can't help but think about the people, with real power and influence, who want to take this country back to before birmingham

LEFT: Someone who appears in the Epstein files over a million times. Epstein called him his "best friend." RIGHT: Someone never mentioned in the Epstein files—even once. And she never met him. So guess which one is being hauled before our corrupt, cover-upping Congress to testify about Epstein.

Why the F is Kushner involved in these high level meetings with Ukraine, Russia, and Iran? www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

FLASHBACK — 1988: @schumer.senate.gov brags about blocking the "Jackson plank”, a DNC platform item by Jesse Jackson's presidential campaign which would’ve supported Palestinian self-determination. (From @fiftyshadesofwhey.bsky.social )

Warnock: "Jesus is a victim of identity theft in American politics and culture"

Today, I'm proud to announce that we've erased over $1.1 billion in medical debt for more than half a million Illinoisans. No one should be forced to choose between life-saving care and feeding their families. Stay tuned for more news on affordability in Illinois tomorrow.

Wait, did the SAVE Act already pass and they forgot to tell voters? No! I’m going to need an update on this. I hope she was able to cast her ballot in the primary. Texans, if this is happening to you, post your story with the polling location. Put it on blast. And report it.

Yup! www.reuters.com/world/allega...

I told you they’d come after Veterans’ benefits. www.stripes.com/veterans/202...

Jeffrey Epstein's December 20, 2016 email to Bill Gates: "come to visit the island. new administration people visiting." What was the upcoming administration in December2016? Oh!

👀👀👀👀 When you’ve got THIS administration admitting that ICE lied under oath, the video evidence has to be catastrophic.

For 50 years, the median wage of hourly workers stagnated or declined while the stock market and CEO pay skyrocketed. Is it any wonder why so many feel abandoned by the system? People lose faith, and a demagogue fills the void. This is why we must fix the system. AOC is right.

AOC: "Extreme level of wealth inequality leads to social instability and drives authoritarianism, right-wing populism, and really dangerous domestic internal politics. That is a direct outcome of the failure of democracies over decades to deliver."
