If you're older or a woman or LGBTQ or care about science, art, clean air, water, and soil, you may want to consider this and how it may directly impact you or the things you value...
Project True NorthWe read the MNGOP 2026 Action Agenda so you don’t have to. Here are just some of the worst things they incorporated into their platform.
Another person, this time a man named Lorenzo, killed at the hands of ICE/DHS which claim similar excuses as in the cases of Renee Good and Alex Pretti. This morally bankrupt agency must be stopped. The best hope for accountability is the Nov. election. Vote. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Endorsements — Cedrick Frazier | Official Campaign WebsiteThese endorsements reflect not just broad support for this campaign but the collaborative relationships I will bring with me to the County Attorney’s Office to fight for real progress.www.cedrickfrazier.orgWe call our porch gatherings “stoops” & have hosted them since we moved into our house. It’s one of the best things about Mpls homes. A front porch or an apartment balcony is like the open arms of a home welcoming interaction between residents and neighbors. www.startribune.com/mn-front-por...
Front porches are back — and they’re reshaping how neighbors connectA middle ground between private homes and public streets, front porches have made a steady comeback in new home construction.www.startribune.comI ran for the House to create a more resilient MN. A big part of that is building more homes, esp. w/i walking/biking/transit distance of everyday destinations. Given this unjustified & destabilizing Iran war, building that resilience is even more important. www.reuters.com/business/ene...

I can definitively say: No, a potential GOP reaction did not for one second figure in our decision to make this trip via e-bike. The ride was about living our values. Plus, biking is just fun! youtu.be/_Z3Hv9H-tII
Baby on Board- an e-bike! State Legislator Gives Birth, Takes Baby Home from the Hospital in e-bike!YouTube video by WCCO Radioyoutu.beIt's beyond offensive. An arm of the federal government - ICE - created fear in our communities. As a state government, we should step up to help in ways that we can. The MNLeg cannot stop ICE, but we can and should pass increased rental assistance to help people stay in their homes.
Minnesota House DFLHouse DFL Leader Zack Stephenson blasts GOP leadership for suggesting people 'chose to stay home’ while ICE was terrorizing Minnesota: “When you’re forced to stay home from work because you could be arrested based on the color of your skin or the accent you speak with, that’s not a choice."
Ty! We're well & enjoying all of snuggles w/ Hans.🥰 How we design streets determines what's possible re: our relationship to outdoors, community, & health. Thanks to @minneapolismn.gov for protected bike lanes on 26th & 28th Streets that made this trip feel safe & therefore a real option. 1/3
Nathaniel MinorCongrats to Rep. @katiejonesmpls.bsky.social and family, who biked to the hospital last week and came back with baby Hans. Here's what she told me about the ride:
Did you know that our streets could be safer just by placing traffic signals on the near side of an intersection? Countries around the world with safer streets use this strategy. we should do it here too!

This week, a House colleague claimed that saying, “ICE is kidnapping people,” is outrageous, untruthful rhetoric. How is taking of a 16 y.o., shipping him out of state, and then barring him from disclosing his location not kidnapping?! And this is just one example of SO many.
Minnesota Star TribuneThe Trump administration is apprehending and designating immigrant kids as “unaccompanied,” even as their parents in the U.S. search for them.
Dear Target, your sales are ⬇️ not for lack of in-store staff. Ppl are boycotting you b/c you've abandoned our community. It is reasonable to ask for store policies that protect workers & customers from ICE & for continued pursuit of diversity, equity, & inclusion. www.startribune.com/target-micha...

The freedom of the press is in the Constitution's Bill of Rights for a reason - to daylight the truth and provide accountability. The arrests of Don Lemon and Georgia Fort are unacceptable. It's another lawless intimidation tactic by the Trump Administration. www.pbs.org/newshour/pol...
Journalist Don Lemon arrested after protest that disrupted Minnesota church serviceThe arrest came after a magistrate judge last week rejected prosecutors' initial bid to charge the journalist.www.pbs.orgChicago, thank you for braving the snow & cold to stand with us ❤️ I've seen similar images too from Boston, Salt Lake City, & countless other places across the US. This solidarity matters so much. The power of the people is what will stop the illegal & immoral actions by the Trump administration.
