"I just got back from the Trump parade and I have to say it was legitimately the worst executed mass attendance event I’ve ever seen

One overarching thought: how do you spend $80 million and fumble the basics?

Many more thoughts..."

From Reddit.

Apparently threats that #NoKings events could be targets of the assassin didn’t discourage Minnesotans.

After all the Capitol is the people’s house.

Vance Luther Boelter has been identified as a suspect in the early morning attack that killed House Democratic Leader Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark, at their suburban Twin Cities home. The FBI said it is offering a reward of up to $50,000 for information leading to his arrest and conviction.

Fun fact: I wrote my masters thesis in sex trafficking. Sex work is work.
Today is International Sex Workers' Day. The criminalization of sex work increases the risk of harm to sex workers -- including harm from arrest, jailing, conviction, stigmatization, violence, and exploitation. Sex work should be decriminalized.
Sex workers’ fight for decriminalization, explained
Sex workers have been fighting for decriminalization for generations. Now politicians are starting to listen.

Tell your legislators that Bezos and Zuckerberg don't need tax cuts - Real MN's do!
We've been working w/partners to stop huge give aways to data centers & ultra-rich polluters. The #mnleg is considering hundreds of millions of $$ in tax breaks for data centers that hog & pollute water w/toxic chemicals. Tax cuts to polluters is wrong for MN!

Yeah…nice try. Minnesotans don’t appreciate threats. #mnleg must hold firm!
Translation: “We demand subsidies from taxpayers and exemptions from environmental laws… or we will go elsewhere.”

Which lawmakers will fall for this obvious attempt at extortion? Place your bets now! #mnleg

Amazon suspends data center in Becker, Minn.
The decision comes as state lawmakers said they'd reduce tax breaks for data centers. The massive project was celebrated by local officials for its economic benefits.

Some MN leaders want to KEEP taxpayer subsidies for Amazon, Google, Facebook & Delta, which requires deeper cuts to health care, transit, etc. But they're having trouble getting votes for this because it’s so unpopular! Pick your favorite message & call your legislators NOW. #mnleg

Taxpayer subsidies for the _Richest People on Earth_ are now being negotiated behind closed doors. Since the public isn’t invited, we shared some thoughts at the Capitol complex last night... #mnleg

I…just…speechless…
DHS Secretary Kristi Noem's bag was stolen, including her driver’s license, medication, apartment keys, passport, DHS access badge, makeup bag, blank checks, and about $3,000 in cash.

If she can't even secure her bag, how can she be trusted with homeland security?

Americans are frustrated Democrats don’t do more because Republicans control congress. But they don’t control MN. Our legislators can stop rollbacks of climate laws simply by VOTING NO on terrible House Transportation (HF2438) and Senate Energy (SF2393) Bills. (I'm proud of this coalition!) #mnleg
