My partner and I decided to leave our kid at home for this one. We still went.

We are living in the dumbest possible timeline.

We had our first kid 10 months ago. We just filed taxes today and should get $1,200 return. This is in contrast to owing $1,600 last year. If we owed money again, idk what we’d do. Our kid has a chronic illness so we’ve got a bunch of medical bills. This tax credit is really appreciated.

St. Paul, MN.
Sorry it’s not a great pic.
Too cold to take my hands out my mittens to take more pics.

put a hat on Amy my god.

We’ll be there in Minnesota. It’s going to be very cold. One tip for staying warm: Wrap a hot water bottle in a clean dry towel and put it in a backpack. You can periodically pull out the towel to warm up your face. Cheeks and noses are especially susceptible to frostbite and are difficult to cover.

I’ve got a small kid with a genetic condition that has the potential to be cured. Scientists are (were? idk) in phase 1/2 of human trials. I thought it likely that it’d get approved within 18 years, when my kid would be eligible for it. Now I wonder if it’ll happen at all.

Everyone in the thread, I hear you, but I also was sorta glad to see this because, above all, I think we need to try to get some work done, NOW. And I trust Walz to veto any GOP nonsense should it make it to his desk. I think bars is a nice touch.

I’ll be there in MN. Do you already have contacts in each state securing permits? lmk if I can help

I personally don’t have any attachment to the flag and won’t be using it, but I do like the idea of using it rather than desecrating it as a statement. Being unnecessarily inflammatory isn’t going to help anyone.

President’s Day is a great choice for another 50501 (50 states, 50 protests, 1 day).

All 50 states protesting in union, as in literally at the same time, is gonna be key here I think.

Let’s keep up the momentum.
