"How do people with disabilities feel about abortion?" Pretty much the same as those who are temporarily-abled. Cuz childbirth and parenting are hard. https://t.co/pCKkoz5II7

I just can’t stop thinking about this: if it were Black Lives Matter that staged an insurrection at the Capitol that left five people dead and 100+ officers injured, the desecration of the building and the theft of property. If BLM had stalked to kill the VP and the speaker…

Officer Eugene Goodman in a full sprint running toward the danger on January 6th is the definition of a man who loves this country.

I am sick and tired of being sick and tired of politics getting in the way of uplifting human dignity. Housing is a human right. 500 Black and Indigenous human beings living in parks and under bridges isn't supposed to be political. And yet, here we are.

Finally some good news, scientists discovered a treatment that can reduce COVID19 transmission by 70%, and its just a piece a cloth you wear in front of your dumb fucking face

I appreciate this. My lane is helping anti-racist non-profits strategize for the next legislative session. And doing verbal combat with old white people. And nagging my resistance fighters in residence to bring their public health manners to their protesting lane.

🏙️Know and support Black-owned businesses in the Twin Cities.🌆

Talk about them, recommend them, and buy their products. If you live outside of Minneapolis, consider ordering products online or buying a gift card for a Minnesotan!
