Saint Paul schools will be closed Tuesday and Wednesday to prepare for optional online learning.

I’ve seen schools close for snow, for pandemic, for natural disaster. I’ve never seen schools close because of threat from our own government.

@padilla.senate.gov asked five U.S. citizens who were illegally detained by ICE what they would say to this Administration.

Who KNEELS, on a PREGNANT WOMAN, in Minneapolis?

They are terrorists.

This is abhorrent and unacceptable. This is traumatizing for her and the people of Minneapolis. For our BIPOC neighbors. For anyone with a soul.

We see you, and when the time comes for trial, justice WILL prevail.
