@theBuddyFox @MNRevenue Yea guarantee it’s not their fault.

[Andrew Mueller @AMuellerMPLS]

@TheSotaSwede Yea we are lucky that we have a 3% interest rate because now our childcare and mortgage costs together equal about the avg mortgage rate in Mpls. I can’t imagine paying current rates + childcare.

@mollyfleck No such thing as bad weather just bad clothing choices.

@mattmcshaver We have a 2 year old in daycare 2x/ wk at $250/ wk. Rest is grandparent care but likely will need to increase daycare to 3 days. Having another kid just doesn’t math either!

I was told not to tweet this until the houses adjourned for fear of jinxing it, but the Minnesota legislature just completed what is probably the most productive session anywhere in the country since probably the New Deal. Sweeping bills and reforms across every area of life.

@MattMcNeilShow @mngop @MinnesotaDFL You love to see it.

@DrStephanieS @DrMaryHoward @DrStephanieS I’ll always remember that scatter plot of fluency skills and MCA scores you showed me about this very issue. Learn to read, then read to learn.

@kare11 This is literally .0017% of the budget surplus. Not to mention how minuscule it is in comparison to the overall stage budget. Not a real issue.

We are seeing the results of disinvestment in rural areas across the state. Multiple crises in nursing homes, child care, schools, and affordable housing. All while the wealthy have even more. Invest in us. #mnleg https://t.co/J9qjagln4w

@jasonhickel Amid the hyperventilating by our right-wing media, politicos, and constituency I thought, “this balloon could be a moment of profound empathy by citizens of a nation that for two decades violated countries sovereignty with armed drones.”

But then I thought, “nah, probably not.”

@to_discussion @fireflymom2two @IronMik34199398 @alphanews Spoiler alert: policies restricting abortion access actually can result in abortions performed later in pregnancy.

[Andrew Mueller @AMuellerMPLS]

@to_discussion @fireflymom2two @IronMik34199398 @alphanews If you want to educate yourself about reality, here is a source that explains why, though representing about 1% of cases nationwide, abortion is sometimes performed after 21 weeks. https://t.co/EhGdZguDK6

@DpIbach @PatGarofalo I would consider it moderate to adequately fund schools, have basic reproductive rights, invest in green infrastructure, etc. it’s just that the right is so radically anti government that basic government services that are common in every other developed country seem radical.

"Fully funding schools" isn't a terribly helpful talking point b/c MN doesn't fund schools - it funds *students*. The single-largest & most critical investment the #mnleg could make in MN's students in the next budget would be fully funding Special Ed & English Learner mandates.

@lydiakauppi @AndAntifascism This is a block from my house lol.

[Sara Spafford Freeman @sarasfreeman123]

The call to “fully fund” public schools is a popular tlkg pt. But it’s too abstract to be useful as an organizing tool & it obscures the fact that we don’t fund schools, we fund *students*. Let’s breakdown what it could mean to “fully fund” MN’s kids. A thread!

@joshcrosson @citizenstewart Voting is actually pretty similar to a phone bill. You don’t have many choices, none of them are ideal, but you have to choose one…
