I met with my surgeon today and she said my uterus and cervix were chronically inflamed. I cried. I cried bc I thought my pain was in my head and she believed me. She is the second gyno I had bc the first one didn’t believe my pain. The surgery recovery hurt but less than my pain before. 🧵

(CW: sexual harassment) I’ve given a lot of thought to the news surrounding the conduct of the Mayor, but I’ve struggled to attach a word to how I feel. The closest I’ve gotten is “heartbroken” in a number of ways. 1/
I have been following the story of St. Paul Mayor Kaoly Her’s repeated sexual harassment of city employees, and in light of this statement it is clearly time for her to resign her position as mayor. This is a breach of ethics and trust, and for Her to refer to it as “attempts at humor” is galling.
No one wants to come out and say they have been sexually harassed or assaulted. Those speaking out of Mayor Her are brave and should be supported instead of dismissed bc they are mostly men. Shame on Her for the behavior.
Starting to get out of my surgery fog. Pain has been easy to manage with thc. I didn’t take anything yesterday and I slept lots. I am telling myself that every minute I sleep is a minute of healing I need. Grateful to have a space to sleep peacefully, though my dreams are wild.
minnesota state senator john hoffman revealed tonight at the peggy flanagan rally in st. paul that angie craig asked him for his endorsement for US senate while he was still in the ICU after vance boelter shot him really appalling anecdote!
john hoffman, MN state senator who survived an assassination attempt by vance boelter, who killed mark and melissa hortman, is here supporting omar fateh. he said fateh was his first visitor when he was in hospital. gave him a note saying “we’ll get that fucker” that is still on his fridge

Dreams come true at book camp. How will these come home with me? A prayer and hope to the book gods 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
Can Angie Craig just run as a republican? She would make a great one. She loves attacking the DFL.
MN drivers, please use your blinkers. I still cannot read your mind. Please stop running red lights. You are making me use my horn and it doesn’t even sound cool. It sounds sad.
Our coalition of support continues to grow every day. I am honored to be endorsed by both the University of Minnesota College Democrats and the Minnesota Young DFL in my campaign for Hennepin County Attorney.
You can say you are hot. I love my body and while we live in a society that is loving skinny bodies, all bodies are beautiful. There is no perfect body. Your body is living in a fucked up world, surviving. You deserve good things. You need food. Love your body.
Thank you for taking our feedback and correcting the record on this very important issue @dfl.org ❤️
We made an error earlier in how we talked about today’s Supreme Court ruling against trans women and girls. A court ruling doesn’t change who belongs in Minnesota. The DFL unequivocally supports the rights of trans, non-binary, two-spirit, and intersex people to participate fully in society.
