Never getting over a mayor who spent her early childhood in a camp before coming to the US as a refugee decided to destroy a camp and turn people into refugees in our city, knowing alternatives were inadequate. Shameful. Embarrassing. Unacceptable. Enraging.

I love how the mn gop platform is just “I don’t understand this thing. It’s different from what I grew up with, and I don’t want to research it either! Are you nostalgic and too lazy to read too?” “YEAHHHHH!!!”

I’m here at the Fish Hatchery encampment in St. Paul as the city prepares to sweep the camp. St. Paul cops are stopping cars coming in but there are dozens of people that have gathered here in anticipation of the sweep in order to help camp residents and document what the city does here today.

This case is a terrifying reminder of the fact that being charged with a crime upends your life. Maria Rojas has had her midwifery license suspended, and the conditions of her bond prohibit her from working in healthcare in any capacity. Texas didn't just arrest her, they took away her livelihood.

Early COVID mitigations showed us the power of collective action. The environment began to heal. People with disabilities were accommodated. An entire flu strain was eradicated. Folks reconnected with their local communities. We worked together & saved lives.
Who is going to find time in their week this week to donate blood? The American Red Cross declared only its second ever national blood crisis in 145 years. There’s only a day’s worth of O+!

On the flip side, y'all know Melvin's dad was a cop, right? In case you ever wondered about those budgets. Nobody's perfect.
Fun fact: Being a dumbass who gets duped by cops is not an excuse for sexual harassment. She needs to resign. Again: Hiding official complaints and the hiring of an external investigator from city council is cause enough for her resignation.

PSA for those of us whose bodies are significantly influenced by estrogen. Vitamin B12 is basically a taxi service for estrogen to leave your body. If you have excess estrogen, maybe take some B12. If you're in your 40s/50s, MAYBE YOU DON'T WANT TO.
Today, I paused, closed my eyes, and regulated my breathing. My mom asked what was wrong. I said, "The best description is, it feels like I'm touching an electric fence." She started looking things up on her iPad, "It says to track your symptoms and avoid triggers." Mmhmm. 👐🏻Healthcare!👐🏻

I swear to fucking God you out-of-state idiots need to keep Andy Beshear's name out of your mouths. He can NOT appoint a Democrat to the seat, so stop demanding it. He CAN call a special election, but that would be a pointless exercise because the seat is already up for election this November.
Nothing like having been offline all day and having to check if there are any new allegations against your sex-pest mayor.
