BLM’s Cicley Gay says Juneteenth must be more than a memory—it must be a mission.
🖤 “Even in mourning, we found ways to dance, laugh, and dream.”

This is what can make the US amazing! Graduation rates.
governorwalz.mn.gov Governor Tim Walz @governorwalz.mn.gov · May 7
NEW: Minnesota’s graduation rate just reached the highest level on record.

Two years ago, we made the single-largest investment in public schools in state history.
 
Today, we’re seeing the results.

Here's Alex & the Metropolitan Mosquito Control District. Did you know they target mosquito larvae based on their digestive pH to avoid harming other insects, like pollinators? I know mosquitoes are an important part of the food web, but they can carry human diseases, too.🦟

I am so angry at the intentional rule breaking exhibited by my Republican colleagues. In a place where we are expected to compromise, where "we are only as good as our word," today's behavior was shameful.

Both parties are NOT the SAME:
SAVE passed the GOP controlled house! On to GOP controlled Senate. HMMMM - voter suppression in the name of election security?!! Which party has committed voter fraud??! Starts with an "R"
US House passes bill requiring people to prove citizenship in order to vote
Supporters say bill is aimed at preventing noncitizens from voting in US elections, but critics say it’s voter suppression

Imagine spending a half million dollars to attend Police State University, where you’ll get to experience NYPD brutality up close and where they might just revoke your degree for wrongthink even after you’ve graduated.

In a first for the Ivy League school, Columbia's new officers have the same powers of warrantless search and arrest as any other police officer under New York law. The state law permits the officers to use "physical force and deadly physical force in making an arrest or preventing an escape."

Great time at Connect India! Chatted with some old friends, & met new friends. It was also important for me to listen to the community about their fears & concerns with the current federal administration. Thank you, Consul General Somnath Ghosh, for your words & partnership.

Minnesota jobs are being lost because of Trump and his GOP minions. And now, Minnesota patients will suffer. @dfl.org @dflsd47.bsky.social

MN Dept. of Health announces 170 layoffs as a result of federal funding cuts. Impacts will include reduced support for nursing homes and potential delays in lab results and patient care at MN hospitals and health care systems.
The impact of these cuts to our public health system also include: Significantly reduced support for nursing homes, including funding for HVAC upgrades and staff training around disease prevention, as well as support for county jails and other congregate settings. Slower response times to infectious disease outbreaks. Immediate suspension of partner-led vaccine clinics and emergency preparedness activities. Reduced laboratory support for hospitals and health care systems that could delay lab results and patient care. An inability to upgrade the Minnesota Immunization Information Connection, the state’s immunization information system, which means it will remain outdated. Suspension of the INSPIRE Program, a program to get middle and high school students excited about and interested in public health. Reduced funding for Tribal Public Health.

How is this making us great?
USDA cancels $500M in food deliveries, leaving food banks scrambling
The Trump administration’s latest move, which follows $1 billion in cuts to food aid programs, puts more pressure on groups trying to feed hungry Americans.
