Trump and Republicans don’t want you to know what they’re doing with your taxpayer dollars because they know how unpopular and downright cruel their agenda is.

I'll be posting a bit about the country we can have if we work together...major idea is valuing people & our planet over just profit. Profit is one measurement, but should not be the only measurement of value. #ISAIAH

I believe this. We need to work to improve our lives and the lives of our neighbors.

The biggest question is, What kind of life do we want for ourselves and for our neighbors?

Who do we want our politicians to serve? People or corporations.

Exactly..."The fight for equality is far from over. In fact, it is more urgent now than ever."
The Americans with Disabilities Act — passed 35 years ago — was not a gift. It was the result of a powerful movement led by people who demanded to be seen, heard and treated with dignity.

The fight for equality is far from over. In fact, it is more urgent now than ever.

Especially for those of you in safe blue districts with "roll over and play dead" Dem representation, now's the time to start looking for new leadership. Exciting opportunity to turn the party into a real unified opposition party!
And yet the same poll has the 2026 generic congressional ballot at D+3, so that high disapproval is coming entirely from partisan Democrats themselves. If you've ever wanted to challenge an ineffective Democratic incumbent, you're not going to have a better opportunity than next year.

Navigating healthcare in MN?

What I've learned:
-Take your child to immunization clinics
-Or get vaccines at annual well-child visit.
-Watch for fliers for free/low-cost clinics for sports physicals.
Any other tips?

What are your recent experiences of healthcare in MN? Mine are about getting care for my son to fully participate in school-$344 for a sports physical, $155 for a routine meningitis vaccine for 7th grade.

Please share!
