THIS is how you show up and FIGHT! We will not go silently into the night.
Regardless of our party affiliation, we must continue to show up at town hall meetings, callout Republicans, & advocate for our rights!
That is, if you can get a Republican to hold one. 🤨

Democrats should boycott Trump's address tonight.
If they feel they need to attend, they must not signal to the nation that we're living in normal times.
Make good and loud trouble. Disrupt the speech. When he lies, boo loudly!
Anything less will legitimize Trump’s coup.

Fun fact about Trump tariffs you won’t see in 99% of the reporting:
Trump tariffs are illegal.
Congress controls tariffs just like tax rates.
President can change a tariff only for national security emergency, meaning war.

Two years ago today I signed a bill making Minnesota the first state to codify abortion rights after the fall of Roe v. Wade.
Politicians across the nation turned back the clock on reproductive rights. But here in Minnesota, we trust people to make their own decisions.
