Internist and Pediatrician. Minneapolis. Witnessing this moment with care, clarity, and refusal to normalize cruelty. Advocacy ≠ hate. Humanity ≠ extremism.

[LoAnn @LoAnnica]

I’m using this space to share what I’m witnessing in Minneapolis —with facts, care, and a commitment to human dignity.

I oppose cruelty, dehumanization, and the erosion of civil rights. I support nonviolent resistance, mutual aid, and accountability.

If that resonates, welcome.

Every profession has its own vantage point.

Teachers, social workers, physicians, lawyers, and community advocates are all seeing consequences that never make it into press conferences.

Those perspectives matter.

Misinformation is a public health crisis.

When a 'war on fraud' targets communities rather than criminals, my patients pay the price.

And silence is no longer optional.

Only citizens voting is already the law.

The real debate is whether voting is a fundamental right or a bureaucratic obstacle course.

The SAVE Act adds barriers gun-rights groups would never accept for buying a gun.

So clever!
Two rhetorical tricks in this clip:

1️⃣ Quote-mining Schumer to imply he said 20M illegal voters exist
2️⃣ Rebranding the SAVE Act as a “photo ID law”
Classic misinformation playbook.

Classic misinformation playbook.

The SAVE Act would require documentary proof of citizenship to register to vote, such as a passport, birth certificate, or naturalization papers

A driver’s license alone wouldn’t suffice

For many voters, that means tracking down documents, standing in DMV lines, and paying fees

Voting becomes a second tax-season style errand — DMV lines and fees included.

The Epstein files are shocking, but how quickly do we forget that we elected a man with a public pattern of sexual abuse allegations to be our president.

[Amy Klobuchar @amyklobuchar]

This stonewalling from the Administration is unacceptable. Minnesotans deserve better.

[LoAnn @LoAnnica]

Just a friendly reminder that asking ICE not to wear masks, identify themselves, and follow the Constitution is now labeled “radical left.”

The DFL endorsement is valuable - and it matters. Because I'm running a people-powered campaign, endorsed by and for Minnesotans.

So on February 3rd, attend precinct caucuses and raise your hand to become a delegate for Team Peggy.

DHS agents in MN swerved in front of an unarmed woman who was recording them, once again WALK IN FRONT OF A CAR with guns drawn. The only thing they've learned from Renee Good is how to get away with killing people. A local cop intervened to stop the illegal arrest!

[CBS News @CBSNews]

Protesters took to the frozen lakes in Minneapolis Friday to broadcast a message of distress to the world, spelling out "SOS."

The demonstration occurred as thousands marched through downtown Minneapolis in opposition to the ongoing surge in federal immigration enforcement forces.

[The Minnesota Star Tribune @StarTribune]

Bells rang at the Basilica of St. Mary at noon as part of a call for unity from more than 100 churches across the Twin Cities, one week after federal agents shot and killed Alex Pretti.
