Brought tears to my eyes. A true way to honor the goodest Boi.
Thousands of people lined up at the Minnesota Capitol to pay tribute to slain lawmaker Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark. Between the caskets was an urn containing the ashes of the family’s golden retriever, Gilbert.
Beloved dog joined Minnesota lawmaker, husband as they lay in state
When Minnesota state Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband were fatally shot this month, their golden retriever was grievously wounded and had to be euthanized.

It's my favorite birthday present I've ever received. It hangs in my office so I can see it every day, & it lines up to be my Zoom background. 😉 This world has lost a bright light & will be a bit darker now. #RIPValKilmer

All spending ordered to be stopped by Trump Executive Order on Inflation Reduction Act and IIJA(Bipartisan Infra Law). I assume this applies to unspent discretionary grants and loans like most (all?) of DOE LPO and GDO, but not tax credits or mandatory grants. 1/2

As we remember Dr. Martin Luther King Jr, we renew our pledge to keep his dream alive.

Dr. King devoted his life to others, reminding us "human progress is neither automatic nor inevitable. Every step toward the goal of justice requires sacrifice, suffering, + struggle."

Let's work for justice.

🚨 SPP's new O2222 compliance filing is in at #FERC. Big shift in this proposal from single-node to multi-node participation for DR aggregators. This was the BIG issue @earthjustice.bsky.social fought for in our protest to SPP's initial filing! #EnergySky
