I want to see Minnesota prioritize recruiting, retaining and increasing teachers of color. Unfortunately, Minnesota leads the nation in the educational achievement gap for students of color vs white students. How will your budget prioritize students of color? #AskMNGov
It is utterly embarrassing that “pay people enough to live” is a stance that’s even up for debate.
Override the parliamentarian and raise the wage. McD’s workers in Denmark are paid $22/hr + 6 wks paid vacation. $15/hr is a deep compromise - a big one, considering the phase in.
If Rob Walton, a key owner of Walmart, can afford an estimated $226 million for an antique car collection that includes 12 Ferraris, 6 Porsches, 2 Maseratis and a 1963 Corvette Grand Sport Roadster, you know what? Walmart can afford to pay at least $15/hour to all of its workers.
Here are the heroes helping Austin get through this. If you throw them some cash they won’t be worrying about holding back so as not to bankrupt themselves. Thanks, @joahspearman.

Most elected officials are wealthy and well-connected older white men.
We need better #representation in government: reflective of everyone it represents — not just one group.
Today’s guest founded @runforsomething to make that happen.

The future of the parties: Democrats' fresh faces include Stacey Plaskett, Joe Neguse, Madeleine Dean. Republicans have Marjorie Taylor Greene, Lauren Boebert, Madison Cawthorne. Hard to imagine a greater contrast in every meaningful way.
I believe the Republican members of Congress who have incited this domestic terror attack through their attempts to overturn the election must face consequences. They have broken their sacred Oath of Office.
I will be introducing a resolution calling for their expulsion.
What is the point of having a rule that allows Congress to expel members of Congress if it's not used when some members actively try to get their colleagues killed
Hoyer: "In 2019, during the same election cycle in which she ran, [Greene] showed support for comments online that the quickest way to remove Speaker Pelosi from power would be, and I quote, a bullet to the head. Did any of you hear Steve king say anything like that?"
"They're not 'The Squad' They're Ilhan. They are Alexandria. And they're Rashida. They are people. They are our colleagues ... this is an AR-15" -- Steny Hoyer printed out one of Marjorie Taylor Greene's incendiary tweets
@RepDeanPhillips You didn’t listen to us when you preached *patience* instead of *impeachable offense* when the concentration camp portion of trump’s reign became public. Shame on you. And you’re soft on your insurrectionist colleagues. Expel them, Dean. #MN03
Especially white Americans don’t like to hear it, but we got to the “coup” stage of fascism because we didn’t impeach at the concentration camps, cages, family separations, beatings, gassing, disappearances. Fascism’s a pattern of escalation and nobody tried to really break it
This is bullshit. The Redditors aren't cheating, they're joining a party Wall Street insiders have been enjoying for years. Don't shut them down...maybe sue them for copyright infringement instead!!
We've learned nothing from 2008.
