It felt so good to join over 1,000 Michiganders in Lansing for the annual MLK Luncheon — the largest in the country — put on by the MLK Commission of Mid-Michigan.

For many of us, this year's celebration felt different.

Another promise broken. We have to stop taking Trump's claims at face value and start looking at the results. This Administration isn’t delivering for American workers.

Voter data lawsuits, political prosecutions, media capture, and institutional failure threaten democracy. Democracy’s survival now depends on grassroots activism, independent media, nonprofit legal organizations and a growing pro-democracy opposition movement.

Please watch and share.

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s call to stand up against injustice still rings true today.

As we confront the many challenges our state and nation face, his powerful example remains an inspiration that demonstrates the impact we can have by uniting across our differences.

Minnesota is more than what you see on TV.

We’re a state that believes in the dignity of all people. We feed our kids and take care of our neighbors.

I’m proud of the ways Minnesotans are meeting the moment with decency and generosity - as we always do.

Sunday, at least 7 ICE agents stormed a house and took an elderly man out into the freezing cold, wearing only his underwear and a blanket.

He was a member of the Hmong community, which came to the area from Laos in the 1970s after siding with the US in the Vietnam War.

Have you noticed ICE is consistently using suppressors (silencers) on their rifles?

Why are ICE agents using suppressors and battering rams to arrest old men and nonviolent people in broad daylight? This is for maximum effect imo.

Who’s going to enforce it? Because until authorities are brave enough to enforce this ruling, we’re going to keep seeing this abuse.

This is who they are when the cameras are on. Imagine who they are when they think no one’s watching.
