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.

On President's Day, the First Amendment Troop staged "ResistDance" It honored Renée Good and Alex Pretti. Twenty-two dancers performed, representing the 22 days between Good and Pretti's deaths. Credit: IG @firstamendmenttroop Music: We Could Fly and Following the North Star by Rhiannon Giddens.

You’re welcome here. The 9th district would be lucky to have you representing, and advocating, for them!

That’s the way, Evan💖

Wear a mask! Ideally a well fitted respirator like an N95. Covid is not over. The government pushed a “back to normal” agenda for the economy, not because it was safe. They told us “only the vulnerable” needed to worry, but covid is a multi system vascular virus that is dangerous to everyone.

I thought of your stained glass work when I saw this sculpture @justagirl52.bsky.social

It has struck me that the good people of this nation are showing us joy, humor, and art, while the ruling kakistocracy and its rich protectors are grim and miserable. We can help ourselves by being joyful and optimistic, and we will prevail.

@belasco.bsky.social Something for your Sunday

Kelly’s symptoms are heart stopping to read. Imagine being in the same place with your own health. Please look out for one another 💙Kelly

To again quote Mr. Dunn: “Jake Lang…dumbass.” @libradunn1.bsky.social

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition. Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Welcome aboard! We Californians hope more states will show solidarity with WHO.

Chuck Schumer wants to fund more ICE controlled body worn cameras that will inevitably be hooked into that Palantir facial recognition system, so maybe the two of you should have a little chat?

Perfect use and venue—that’s a loud song, designed to wake people up 🩵🩷

Dear @areyoucertain.bsky.social I thought of you when I saw this painting. You might like to follow Annes, for her watercolors…and cats!

On the day we honor the great Martin Luther King Jr, I reflect on one of the things he didnt talk much about rather he was a living example of it… Courage. Happy MLK Day.

To second Mr. Dunn: “Jake Lang…dumbass” From the article: “His group blasted music, including the song “Ice Ice Baby.” However, Lang, who is from New York and is running for the U.S. Senate seat in Florida vacated by Secretary of State Marco Rubio, struggled to be heard over counterprotesters.”

I’m Sam Forstag - I’m a smokejumper, a union leader, and I’m running for Congress because for too long, Montanans have been breaking their backs just to fall further behind. Together, we can build an economy that works for working people. www.youtube.com/watch?v=qHia...

Some good news in Sweden - a judge issued an order today stopping a planned wolf hunt, stating that it would "hinder maintaining a healthy conservation status for the wolf population." More ⬇️ www.ctvnews.ca/climate-and-...

A leading light A tragic loss #FightforRob

ICE agents violently detained another disabled person, causing severe injuries. Arturo Ruvalcaba lives in Utah and is deaf. Three ICE agents grabbed him at a bus stop. He tried to use sign language to communicate his disability to them, and they interpreted that as “resisting arrest”.
