Trump & Speaker Johnson want us to be isolated, complacent, and scared.
Instead, we’re together, standing for our rights, and joyful.
They say we hate America.
Instead, today I saw more American flags wave than I typically see fly on July 4th.

Finding joy is part of the resistance (so is taking out your feelings in a non destructive way).
Be part of it this Saturday at Oktoberfest as we kick off our reelection campaign and continue our efforts to build a more just, resilient, and thriving MN!

Data shows that rural Minnesota households in utility territories across the state would see lower costs from switching to electric air source heat pumps, which are 2-4x more efficient than propane furnaces. www.mnashp.org/cost-heat-co...

Remember: when you see ads from fossil fuel companies, ask yourself - are they trying to serve you or keep themselves in business?
As someone who worked in energy for over a decade, I can say that we do not need propane powered homes, & MN has one of the most reliable grids in the US.

Congrats to @sustainstpaul.bsky.social and @moreneighbors.org on hosting a great Sibling Rivalry debate!
While it was fun to pick on Saint Paul for, we know that ultimately this sibling rivalry helps us both evolve stronger policies that benefit real people.

Thanks to all who joined in the fun at our Mini Frisbee Tournament fundraiser yesterday!

In no other country would an elected say that school shootings are a "fact of life."
We know gun violence is preventable through smart gun control.
But JD Vance gives up on what actually would protect kids, as noted in his Sept. 2024 comments. This attitude & his presence are not welcome in Mpls.

The last month has been heavy at the state and federal levels, but there is joy to be found in our local community.
The Uptown Farmers Market on Thursdays 4-8pm at Lake and Girard is a good time :)

Walkable, mixed use communities create positive feedback loops. Not only do they support resident health and wellbeing, community building, and diverse local business, they do an impressive job of funding local public services.

I thought it was a given that transpo costs as a % of household expenses would be higher for lower incomes, just like housing, food, etc.
But no! Data shows, when cities are built well (i.e. compact, walkable, transit-rich), low income ppl spend less on transpo!

Trump/DOGE cuts have hit many community members so far. Ultimately, no one is immune.
My service w/ MN GreenCorps was my full-year job. I supported public govts w/ energy efficiency management for a small stipend. It's crushing that AmeriCorps & PeaceCorps are being gutted for billionaire tax cuts.
