It’s a frightening time in our history. But in spite of that reality — or rather, in response to that reality — we are organizing and still rising. #NoKings

Minnesota’s flags will fly at half staff in honor and remembrance of Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman.
She woke up every morning determined to make Minnesota a better place, and she will be greatly missed.

The Trump Administration is mobilizing an additional 2,000 National Guard troops to inflame tensions in LA, impacting the state’s wildfire prevention & fentanyl task force efforts.
Trump doesn't care about protecting Californians. He’s militarizing our state & provoking chaos.

I just filed an emergency motion in court to immediately block the ongoing and unnecessary militarization of Los Angeles.
The federal government is turning the military against American citizens. This is unprecedented and threatens the very core of our democracy.

BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.”
They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.
