Thank you Senator Mann & Senator Hoffman!

#MinnesotaCare for ALL saves all Minnesotans from having caregivers & coworkers at work with untreated illness or in emergency rooms for basic healthcare. We all GET better when we all get better.

Human sex is not binary from a biological perspective ♀️♂️. Female/Male - as well as XX/XY - is an incomplete model to describe sex in humans. A good read about the subject 👇

Minnesota Dems @smith.senate.gov @klobuchar.senate.gov @repangiecraig.bsky.social - what will *you* do to dramatize the stakes and give people hope? What will you do to fight, not "tut-tut" or and "work across the aisle" with those trampling our values/way of life? Play it safe and *we all lose*

The Administration just gutted the Department of Education. I’m all for government efficiency, but the education of our nation’s children should be one of our nation’s highest priorities. This announcement should be particularly concerning to families who have students with special needs.
U.S. Education Department says it is cutting nearly half of all staff
According to the department, more than 1,300 positions will be cut as a result of this reduction in force. Roughly another 600 employees have accepted voluntary resignations or retired.

it began with deporting innocent immigrants, stealing trans people’s passports, force-detransitioning trans women and torturing them in men’s prisons, firing thousand of federal workers illegally and with no reason, etc., etc. or maybe it began when we let an insurrectionist run for president.
