Looking for a "pay it forward" opportunity? We're raising funds for a Cambodian friend who wants to share music with children in his country! They bear the scars of war, but are seeking to create peace.

@rob_schmitz I’m lucky to have been there a few times and met Michelle. All the best to her and the great staff!

It looks like a potential market success to me!

No comments on my #stratigraphy mask from my #anthropology students and we even talked about excavation in General Anthropology today! So sad. Whhhhhy?! Don’t they want to be nerdy with me? 😉😅

Mos Eisley, indeed. The Death Star theme song comes to mind.

The concerted attack on voting rights across the country is disgraceful and unamerican.

The time is now to pass the For the People Act.

I’m getting really tired of having to be the @RandPaul Cleanup Crew. Once again, he spews false information and I have to give Dr. Fauci the chance to clean it up.

Oh, how I’d love to be on that road again!

Nearly canoe season. Anyone else love the narrow, winding roads that lead to the launch? https://t.co/QdJvXhbslw

Many Black men and women are keeping tabs on what’s unfolding in the televised trial of former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin. They say it has provoked strong emotions. https://t.co/CCthS82nYb

It’s about time!

[Lt. Governor Peggy Flanagan @LtGovFlanagan]

We cannot allow crisis of missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls to go unaddressed. As we work to create an Office of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women here in Minnesota, we are eager to partner with @SecDebHaaland and this newly created unit. https://t.co/K2ISxQ7ebG

South Korea does so many things well, like containing COVID-19.

So exciting to see a new era begin!

I am so proud of my friend - Secretary of the Interior Deb Haaland. We cannot wait to work with you. Congratulations, Madam Secretary!

So many things our kids (and adults) need to know, beginning with “you are still here!” Thanks @LtGovFlanagan @StarTribune.

[Lt. Governor Peggy Flanagan @LtGovFlanagan]

Even before there was a Minnesota, there was the Dakota phrase Mni Sota Makoce. It’s simple: our school children should be aware that they speak the language of Native people every time they name their home state. Supporting Indigenous education will benefit all students.

At last, an explanation easy enough for anyone to grasp! My grandsons aren’t even 2, and they get it! Thanks @DSAArchaeology!

Losing a sibling too soon is hard; I know. Peace to you @lourdesgnavarro.

My sister Olga who died last year just before the pandemic is finally being buried today, next to my father. I cannot be there for what will be a strange social distanced ceremony . There is not a day that passes that I have not thought of her. A dormir, querida hermana.

Not safe enough for Brazil, but safe enough for Minnesota? Seriously? Please help @FriendsBWCAW & others, @GovTimWalz. We have one chance at this.

Picture what this type of disaster at the headwaters of Lake Superior could mean for Minnesota’s drinking water, health, indigenous land rights, tourism, economy, infrastructure, wildlife... #ProveItFirst
