My favorite goalie ever is in net, but for the other team. So now I’m here cheering for my team to shoot and also cheering every time they make a save. #playoffhockey #pwhl #mnfrost #cj

A month ago, Trump was at the height of his power and popularity.

Today, Trump is facing mounting backlash and Republicans are hiding from constituents.

We need to keep this pressure up. Find a group near you: indivisible.org/groups

It must be cold in the house, because they all snuggled into the same blanket.

We are experiencing an assault on science unparalleled by anything I’ve seen in my life. It’s not one issue or another anymore, the entire institution is under attack by the most powerful individuals in the country.

This Friday, where will you be?

So can Americans just like opt-in to being under a Zelensky presidency instead? Based solely on what I watched today I think I’d vastly prefer that option.

It took seeing adult bullies to understand that my childhood bullies didn’t even really want to hurt me, they just wanted to feel powerful and how I felt about it wasn’t even in the equation.

I can’t imagine someone not outgrowing that, but apparently it happens quite a lot!

I mean OF COURSE money buys happiness. Even the studies where they're like, "after x amount it stops making you happier" great then if I have that much, I'll pay for somebody else's happiness. If I get rich I'm buying a round of joy for the house. This is so easy.

Major breaking trans news: The States of Washington, Minnesota, and Oregon have sued the Trump administration to block it from enforcing a national gender affirming care ban for those under 19 years of age.

This is the second major lawsuit over Trump's trans ban EO.

Docs to come.

We’re focused on feeding our kids.

Investing in our schools.

Making sure child care is affordable.

Regardless of the chaos unfolding in Washington, we’re making Minnesota the best state for kids to grow up.

The Trump administration, along with Elon Musk’s staffers, has jeopardized the security of the C.I.A. by making employee names public—a move both illegal and dangerous. Current officials confirmed that the C.I.A. sent employee names to the OPM, complying with an executive order signed by Trump.

I couldn’t be there today, but thanks for protesting! Keep calling your reps and putting good into the world, too! ❤️
Feels like the start of something.

I urge Minnesotans who work for the federal government to be extremely cautious when it comes to Trump's buyout offer. The benefits being offered are not guaranteed.

I recommend federal employees listen to the guidance of their unions on this matter.

I know today was difficult.

I understand you’re tired baby.
So tired.

You’ve said wtf more times in 24 hrs than you’ve said your whole life. 😮‍💨

But you can’t quit now. People need your help. You can’t accept this chaos & hatred as normal.

Sit beside me, rest & get your energy back.

DO NOT BE FOOLED what Trump was saying about mental illness is ab*lism. And ab*lism is always quickly followed by eug*nics. They are going to rebrand it in some horse 💩 way. Squash it now. Call it out now. If you hear anybody spouting any ab*list bull, call👏it👏out👏

This is my favorite picture of Stonewall.

They knew they were getting arrested just for being LGBTQ+.

Yet... they're still here, standing outside of the boarded up Stonewall Inn, smiling as the world was at a fever pitch of hatred against them.

I think about it a lot in moments like this.

Might be a stretch for #wipwednesday but we’ve been having fun this week adding some of the delicious recipes we’re learning from xiaohongshu (rednote) to our repertoire of meals! This is eggs, chives, and rice. Super simple, delicious breakfast. Plus I’m getting lots of practice with my chopsticks!

I’ve heard from community health centers in Minnesota who are already looking at layoffs by the end of the day. May not be able to make payroll at the end of the week.

Republicans need to grow a spine here. This isn’t a game, it’s people’s lives.
