Slightly offended that there’s no mention of bicycles.
Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.

Yep.
Raising the minimum wage is good, but not good enough.
Workers should’t have to constantly fall behind until politicians can be made to do their job.
It is time to do what Michigan, Maine, Ohio, Florida and 16 other states have already done and take the politicians out of it. #IndexTheMinimumWage

This is amazing
In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.

We should have stopped building highways 20-30 years ago.
After 50 years, the final segment of Highway 610 is now open, connecting Maple Grove to I-94!
I worked to secure federal funding for this highway, which means shorter commutes, faster emergency routes, and more opportunity.

I’m a CIS, straight, male. An every-day American with a blue collar job, who lives in the midwest. I want non-binary people to be treated fairly and well.

We Did It, Cheney! After a long rollercoaster week, tonight’s results confirmed it - we won! 🎉
I am beyond grateful for everyone who supported this campaign whether through your time, encouragement, public displays, influence, or donations. It truly took a village to make this victory possible.
