I’m ok. I’m a survivor so this small agitator isn’t going to intimidate me from doing my work.
I don’t let bullies win.
Grateful to my incredible constituents who rallied behind me. Minnesota strong.

Friday night #CoffeyTunes first of a series, though this is just one link in a chain that stretches back to a much earlier time… anyway, Ashley Paul — “Line the Clouds” (2013, R.E.L. Records). Gently noisy off-kilter stuff that can subtly rearrange your mental furniture & put it back. #musicsky 1/x

One time a small child tried to tell me a knock-knock joke. I didn’t play along. I was in a bad place at the time. It was mean and selfish of me.
Kid, it's been a while, but if you are reading this:

Senate Democrats absolutely have to shut the govt down to stop this ICE insanity in the Twin Cities. This is not sustainable & cannot be normalized. Any Democratic vote to provide money to the thugs who are brutalizing this community is a grave betrayal to the people here. Accountability can't wait.

My husband was on the 2 train and a guy started braying about how Renee Good deserved to die and her "lesbian lover" did too. My husband got pissed and said, "You're absolutely disgusting." "Fuck you!" the guy said. "Fuck YOU!" my husband said. The guy left.
