Trying to do a bit of good in this world.

Erin and I are sending our thoughts and best wishes to Londel French after a recent health episode. We hope that he will make a quick and full recovery and look forward to seeing him out fighting again for our community very soon.

[President Biden Archived @POTUS46Archive]

Unthinkable.

This fight isn’t over. I’ll have more to announce when I address the nation this afternoon.

[Augsburg Careers @AuggieCareers]

The new Peer Advisors are training this week on how to support students with resume and cover letter writing.

They will see hundreds of students this year providing a valuable service to the @AugsburgU student body. An incredible group and we are lucky to have them on our team!

The newest members of @AugsburgU 's @Travelers EDGE program were on campus today for their very first time! This group doubles the size of Augsburg's program and are an incredible group of students. We look forward to their participation in the program.

Derek Armstrong with the group Agape says they came down to make sure city workers would be respectful of the place. Others here say they don’t represent the community holding space here and are frustrated they seem to be working with the city

[Lee George @leepetergeorge]

Rest in power George.

President Biden signed an executive order Thursday directing administration officials to measure the risks that climate change poses to the U.S. financial system, as well as financing required to transition to a carbon-free economy over the next 3 decades. https://t.co/QxsODtpKEA

I hate when people overhype things on on twitter so I will just state calmly that this is the greatest thing I've ever seen in my life

[R.T. Rybak (He/Him) @R_T_Rybak]

2 yrs ago, when giving commencement ⁦@AugsburgU⁩ ,a prof said: “You have to meet Brandon Williams; he’s going to be Mayor someday.” Today Brandon is our criminal justice fellow ⁦@mplsfoundation⁩ , leading criminal justice reform and our FundForSafeCommunities

[Irene Fernando @HennepinD2]

Today, @MarionGreene and I brought in a resolution that condemns the use of chemical weapons & “less lethal” projectiles against residents and demonstrators. The motion failed 3-4. Thanks to @D4Commish for your vote in favor. 1/3

[Ryan Ken @Ryan_Ken_Acts]

I’m so sorry y’all that I can’t let it go. But the speaker of the house thanking a Black man for his murder is just so horrific and also incredibly telling about this country’s relationship to Black people.

[Keith Ellison @keithellison]

I would not call today’s verdict justice because justice implies restoration. But it is accountability, which is the first step toward justice.

Now, the cause of justice is in your hands.

Better if you were here George.

Thankful for the opportunity to be with community this afternoon in George Floyd Square. We must keep moving forward, the work is not done.

#GeorgeFloyd #BlackLivesMatter

[Reclaim the Block @reclaimtheblock]

We love you George Floyd.
We love you Daunte Wright.
Our only wish today is that you were still here with us.
That’s our statement.
That’s the work.

[Be A King @BerniceKing]

Oh, that George Floyd were still alive.

But I’m thankful for accountability.

The work continues.

Justice is a continuum.

And America must bend with the moral arc of the universe, which bends toward justice.
