I go past Keystone every day and see the line outside their University Avenue office. If you want to give money to a St. Paul food shelf, this might be a good choice. keystoneservices.org

My life is weird.

From hauling corn and beans in in Iowa one day to riding transit to a Solar Seminar in Minneapolis the next.

Finally, a use case for The Commons
To be clear, I got here early. The crowd is huge. This is but a fraction of it.

I needed a bit of hope today and nothing says hope more than >1,000 people protesting in Sioux City, Iowa!!

We are so much more than what divides us. Trump, elected Republicans, and the billionaires propping them up want nothing more than us to be divided.

We are Americans and we have no king.

Beautiful Fall morning in Shakopee except for that last pic. We shouldn’t have to trade health care and basic gov’t services for tax cuts for billionaires who are screwing us over every day.

Modern GOP majorities cannot even govern…OR release the Epstein files, for that matter.

Saw a clip of the blues clues guy saying “I know what pundits certain senators dislike but I don’t know who my city councilor is. And I realized I’m not actually politically engaged.”

And yeah bud. That’s right. You’re just watching tv. That’s not politics.

End gun violence now. Our neighborhoods, our communities, and ALL our policy makers must work together to end gun violence. We must.

We are mourning over here on the Northside. We continue to bear the brunt of gun violence in #Minneapolis. Lives are literally slipping away, human potential, loved ones. Something has to change! The suspect in this Northside shooting is still at large.

Care about healthy landscapes, monarchs, and native bees?

Starting a five day challenge tomorrow morning for installing a pollinator garden in five days. It’s $37.

Gun violence is gun violence. It is tragic and preventable no matter who the victim.

Our deepest sympathies to the family of Charlie Kirk and others injured and killed by gun violence today.

I join the urgent call for an #MNLeg Special Session to pass gun safety legislation.

Huge thank you to teachers, paras, custodians, lunch workers, and all education professionals that take care of our kids.

Have a great first week of school!!

Deepest condolences to the victims of today’s gun violence at Annunciation and all victims of gun violence.

Thank you Protect MN, @momsdemand.bsky.social, and countless others for tending to our broken hearts tonight through prayer and calls to action.

Gun violence must end.

Cis people:

This is where you fucking step up. Do everything you can to support trans people in the coming days. You're going to hear horrible, hurtful rhetoric about us. Shut it down. Don't let it stand.

And buy the trans people in your life a drink.
