This appointment is such good news for the twin cities and @metcouncilmn.bsky.social !
Whether you’re going to work, the grocery, or a friend’s house, Twin Cities residents need transportation options that are safe & work for their wallet, ability, and age. Robin gets that and knows how to deliver.

I don’t know how anyone could read this or know of the countless similar stories across the country and not think that the Trump administration‘s targeting of our immigrant communities is anything but xenophobic, hateful, and wrong.

In Willmar, a soccer field becomes a refuge from heated immigration debate
Most of this varsity boys team hails from immigrant families. This season, they learned to live and play as a team against the backdrop of a nationwide immigration crackdown.

A lot of fossil fuels can't survive in the market against clean energy.
Trump is protecting them so they can continue to force Americans to swallow their high prices & dirty pollution.

According to a new report: "The U.S. Department of Energy’s efforts to prevent large fossil-fuel power plants from retiring could cost ratepayers about $3.1 billion a year in 2028."
$3.1B annual cost estimated for fossil fuel plants DOE won’t allow to retire
One coal plant owner told the SEC it spent $29 million in the first 38 days of an Energy Department order to keep it online.

In likely the biggest protest ever, 1000s across MN turn out to fight for democracy, which I’ll add means fighting for freedom of the press. MN’s largest newspaper barely mentions it.

Instead, we’re together, standing for our rights, and joyful.
