Wow. Can't say much else. The overhead corona was unbelievable. The most intense reds and greens. ❤️💚😍💃 She'll be dancing until sunrise. I visited Franconia Sculpture Park over summer and it has been on my aurora photo bucket list ever since. That's where I went last night. Schafer, Minnesota.

BREAKING: A federal jury in Brooklyn awarded our clients — 674 immigrants unlawfully jailed by the Suffolk County Sheriff’s Office — $112 million. Could not be more proud to work at @latinojustice.bsky.social and to partner with the talent of Winston & Strawn.

We threw a backyard party with our neighbors yesterday to raise money for the CTUL Action Fund & it was a success! A lot of people attended (including several of you) & we really appreciate it 🎉❤️

Just wrote a letter to Mumia Abu-Jamal to let him know that Live From Death Row is on this list

I have cut down the funds that were for the police and which they were probably saving for hiring Forgive me cops were too violent and broke certain laws

I love my job. I love what I do. I find deep satisfaction in fighting this fight. It’s exhausting. It’s mentally crushing. At times I daydream about doing something where I craft beauty and joy and bring folks happiness.

I lived in San Francisco from 2006-2012 & saw firsthand how rent control benefited tenants. Four years ago, Minneapolis voters authorized the City Council to craft a rent control ordinance. We still don't have rent control. But we have *one* mayoral candidate who supports it: @omarfatehmn.com 💯

From 2009-2011 in San Francisco, I regularly represented "unhoused people in traffic court to challenge the police citations they received for activities linked to their homeless status."

Large wildfires over 1K more than 3X in western US/Canada since 1970 due to hotter drier climate. 14+ million acres in Canada burned so far this year. Remote areas. Few roads. Impossible to extinguish at this scale. It's not Canada. It's climate change. #mnwx www.mprnews.org/episode/2021...

not to be hyperbolic but this is legitimately one of the greatest strikes i’ve ever seen
