Hi Minnesotan Bluesky:
The DFL has a well-known transphobia problem. I'm organizing to change the party platform in 2026 to be explicitly supportive of trans people in Minnesota. This will provide a basis for expelling transphobia from our party.

Use whatever means neccessary to avoid having your identification data on the database of a faulty Tech company, they have shown to be impossible to be trusted.
And perhaps use this incident to show your representation that OSA and Age verification style laws are a net bad.

Discord confirms that government IDs used for age-verification were compromised in a hack with a vendor.

Love the energy, Peggy, but right now Duluthians need you to refocus it away from campaigning for Senate and use it to yank Tim Walz away from the brink of a MASSIVE mistake in the form of "BlackRock buyout of Allete / MN Power"
It's a good day to not take corporate PAC money.

How about healthcare for all, instead?
Minnesota is home to some of the best health care systems in the world. But Republicans in Washington are putting the affordability of that care at risk.
We will do everything we can at the state level to help Minnesotans receive the care they need without breaking the bank.
