I’m taking a break from social media this week while away at a conference, but I didn’t want to miss the chance to honor Indigenous Peoples’ Day — and the first peoples of this land and the leaders whose strength, wisdom, and stewardship continue to guide us.
Today we're celebrating Indigenous Peoples' Day alongside MN's 11 Indigenous nations and all Native people who call and have called MN home. We are lucky to have so many impactful Native leaders in our state, and we're proud of our work to empower more Native candidates and voters through RCV.
Pritzker: "You just heard a tidal wave of lies from the VP. It's a bit shocking. And you heard over & over him just making things up. There's a reason why the judge here in federal court said that they admin lacks credibility and why even the Nobel committee chair said the admin lacks integrity."
Machado’s courage in Venezuela deserves respect. But aligning with Trump — and staying silent on his attacks on democracy in the US — makes this Nobel Peace Prize feel painfully contradictory.
Just landed in San Francisco after a delay caused by air traffic controller shortages. No complaints here — big respect to the controllers keeping skies safe.
Hoping their collective power brings an end to the shutdown — and protects health care in the process.
When Stephen Miller said on CNN that the president has “plenary authority,” this is what he meant — jailing his political opponents. It’s total madness.
Not only did Stephen Miller say on air that the president has "plenary" authority and then go silent, CNN edited out the word in the uploaded interview.
Stephen Miller said the quiet part out loud. Trump has “plenary authority,” then suddenly went silent. Their plan wasn’t to be public yet. Clearly, someone hit the panic button in his earpiece.
It gets weirder: CNN uploaded the interview with the “plenary authority” comment edited out. 1/2
ICYMI: Last night’s St. Paul mayoral forum — hosted by FairVote Minnesota and west-side St. Paul neighborhood councils — was sold out, lively, and engaging! 🎤👏 Listen 👇🏼
It was an amazing (and packed) forum and meet and greet last night! Thank you to the candidates, moderator Tane Danger for his engaging steering of the conversation, our cohosts, Gloria Dei, and everyone who attended, watched, and submitted questions. Let's get out there and rank our ballots!
Grijalva: The frustration for me is that it seems as if Speaker Johnson is not willing to swear me in because our politics are a little different, or because I’m going to be the 218th signer—he can just continue to drag this along with no end in sight.
A reminder that the St. Paul mayoral candidates will be at Gloria Dei Church TONIGHT at 6:30 PM! Join us for a forum followed by a meet & greet — a great chance to hear from the candidates and get your questions answered.
So great spending time with my @fairvoteil.bsky.social colleagues in Chicago — love hearing about all the amazing work and momentum building for RCV across Illinois!
What happened in Chile not long ago is happening here—and escalating quickly. Thank you, @ruthbenghiat.bsky.social, for this critical historical context.
We've been in Chicago for 3 days and haven’t seen the “ongoing violent riots and lawlessness” the administration claims are happening here. It’s a manufactured pretext to justify militarizing major cities across the country.
Amid a week of hellish news, at least one measure of justice: Combs’ sentencing is a long-overdue vindication for the victims who bravely told their stories. Now — release the Epstein files.
WTH! Descending in the middle of the night, without warrants, grabbing children and zip tying people?! Not seeing action in downtown where I am but ICE is clearly starting to create terror in Chicago.
STEPHANOPOULOS: The Democratic proposal is designed to prevent millions of Americans from losing their health insurance, losing Medicaid coverage, or paying higher healthcare premiums. Why are you against that?
