Look at these percentages!!! Love the amount of bipartisanship that was happening at the #mnleg this year.

The Minnesota Senate is on a roll today. Three bills up, three bills passed with all-green boards. #mnleg

Apologies to the original owner of this sticker, but I haven't been able to get this thought out of my head for DAYS, so I edited it.

Here's another thing I'm loving from this #mnleg session: bipartisan co-authors on bills side-by-side at the testifier table.

Happy first day of #mnleg session!

Majority in the Middle doesn't have a BlueSky account yet, so I get to share this from me!

Please help us welcome the four new members of our Board of Directors: Jim Hoolihan, Mary Maus Kosir, Steve Wise, and Ed Zabinski!

The first Majority in the Middle Silly Question Saturday of 2025 was fun AND educational!

We heard about the House of Representatives from Rep. John D. Huot and Rep. Jim Nash, Rep-elect Wayne Johnson, and CA Nick Stumo-Langer; visited the House floor thanks to Cathy Carlson (I missed the photo!);

Got a "this day four years ago" reminder of why my work with Majority in the Middle can be... difficult.

"Less power for us if it means less power for them too? Ok. More power for us if it means more power for them too? No way."

I love having a view of an intersection so I can see how other drivers are handling road conditions. It's like research that backs up @cheycab.bsky.social recommendations.

Oof. You guys, I did something TERRIBLE. I feel AWFUL.

I forgot my dog's birthday.

I did a thing.

If you'd like to watch me make this face, and a few points about healing the divisions in our schools and workplaces and neighborhoods, click here: youtu.be/GkGtCWCADXg?...

Big thank you to the team at TEDxSilverLake for making this possible!

I just finished the only #GiveToTheMAX email Majority in the Middle is sending, and this is the end of the narrative.

I wonder what would happen if this had been the entire email. :)

(Didn't get one of my pithy emails and want to donate anyway?? You can here... www.givemn.org/organization... )

On election night Peter Callaghan hand-wrote a list of the percentage of votes reported by the Secretary of State's office at different intervals. (Are they all :08?) @minnpost.bsky.social #MinnPostSocial
