Headed to the @governorwalz.mn.gov kickoff with (new interim Met Council Chair) @deb-barber.bsky.social on the Orange Line.

End gun violence now. Our neighborhoods, our communities, and ALL our policy makers must work together to end gun violence. We must.

We are mourning over here on the Northside. We continue to bear the brunt of gun violence in #Minneapolis. Lives are literally slipping away, human potential, loved ones. Something has to change! The suspect in this Northside shooting is still at large. www.startribune.com/two-killed-i...

Gun violence is gun violence. It is tragic and preventable no matter who the victim. Our deepest sympathies to the family of Charlie Kirk and others injured and killed by gun violence today. I join the urgent call for an #MNLeg Special Session to pass gun safety legislation.

Huge thank you to teachers, paras, custodians, lunch workers, and all education professionals that take care of our kids. Have a great first week of school!!

Deepest condolences to the victims of today’s gun violence at Annunciation and all victims of gun violence. Thank you Protect MN, @momsdemand.bsky.social, and countless others for tending to our broken hearts tonight through prayer and calls to action. Gun violence must end.

Cis people: This is where you fucking step up. Do everything you can to support trans people in the coming days. You're going to hear horrible, hurtful rhetoric about us. Shut it down. Don't let it stand. And buy the trans people in your life a drink.

If you have a moment today, check out Colin and Sophie Hortman’s tribute to their parents on @thecurrent. It’s moving, powerful, and full of great music!

Watched Children of Men again on my flight home from Boston yesterday. It came out in 2006. Did Alfonso Cuarón teleport twenty years ahead and just use that for his inspiration?

It was an absolute honor to work with the advocates for this legislation, as well as with colleagues on both sides of the aisle, to pass this important bill into law as of this month! Bipartisanship and teamwork FTW! #mnleg

Great news Minnesota: today, we have more rights than we did yesterday. Today, July 31, the Consumer Data Privacy Act (MCDPA) goes into effect to safeguard your personal data and your right to privacy. To learn more and get started, visit privacymn.com.

One of Melissa Hortman’s major goals was to lead in planting trees throughout MN. That work continues today and a few of us gathered to remember Melissa as new trees were planted on the Mall. Hopefully these new Melissa Trees will help remind us all of her incredible legacy and our shared future.

“They want us to feel overwhelmed and exhausted…to be full of despair and doubt there’s a way to overcome this hostile regime…This is the playbook to hasten their takeover by silencing dissent and convincing us their victory is inevitable.” Don’t believe it. www.americaamerica.news/p/hope-is-a-...

Anyone know what is actually going on with this? Residential wastewater and stormwater are two different systems.

IT IS FREE WATER DAY!💧💧 My bill requiring free water at ticketed events of 100 people or more becomes law TODAY. The essentials of life need to be accessible for everyone. In Minnesota, people matter—our safety & our savings. We will continue to legislate for people and not for corporate profits.

These threats are all too commonplace for elected officials especially for LGBTQ+, BIPOC, and women. After the terrible events of this past weekend, we need to be taking them seriously and condemning calls to violence.

Noise cancelling AirPods have been a godsend through all this trauma.

Taking a pause, feeling grief for the Hortman’s, gratitude that the Hoffman’s are recovering, and admiring flowers on a beautiful summer day in Melissa’s honor.

More trees for Melissa Hortman!! This made me happy to talk about today. 🌳💚 www.kare11.com/article/news...

Please help if you can. 💔 gofund.me/211aabe5

I’m so relieved for everyone on this motherfucker’s shitty little list who can get some relief now but this grief is going to take a long time, everyone hold onto each other now

Help catch Vance Boelter.

All the credit that Tim Walz got as a VP candidate for good stuff that Minnesota has done? Melissa Hortman (and a bunch of other women) led the hard fight to get bills on his desk and make it politically safe for him to sign.

State law enforcement officials are asking for help finding suspect Vance Boelter. If you see him, call 911. If you have information, call the tipline 877-996-6222

This is really beautiful, both about the B Line, and transit itself. Thank you, @marymm.bsky.social!

This email from All of Mpls is full of defamation & slander. As the son of immigrants & a council member representing a large immigrant community, our community deserves to know whenever ICE is present. This agency separates families & tears communities apart. People need to check their privilege.

15 by my count. 12 in pairs, 2 for the 15, 1 for last card.

How many points do I get for playing the fourth ace?

I want to caution everyone in moments of overwhelm at all of the overlapping harms to pace yourself and be intentional in your efforts. You can’t hold all of this. And you don’t have to. Find the thing you do well. Find people and work that sustains you. Trust that others are doing the same.

And we have a graduate!! Congrats to all of the 2025 Shakopee HS Grads and their families, educators, and the community that helped them make it to this day. Great work!!
