People who think Emmett Till being lynched in 1955 is ancient history should remember that 18 current members of Congress are older than him & the white woman Carolyn Bryant who got him lynched just *today* died—w/o accountability
Its not ancient history—its contemporary reality
I just signed three bills into law that:
✔️Protect people seeking or providing abortions in Minnesota
✔️Ban the harmful practice of conversion “therapy”
✔️Protect access to gender-affirming health care
In Minnesota, we’re protecting rights – not taking them away.
BREAKING: Senator Ed Markey calls on Clarence Thomas to resign.
Markey’s the first Senator to do so.
Thomas “cannot judge right from wrong, so why should he be judging the countries most important cases on the highest court.”
truly sad the way adulthood kills all your hobbies. i’m lucky if i read 5 books a year. too tired to play guitar. too tired to cook beautiful meals.
we warn people not to make work their identity, but how can you not when work systematically strips away every other part of you?
What happened in Tennessee is the latest example of a broader erosion of civility and democratic norms. Silencing those who disagree with us is a sign of weakness, not strength, and it won’t lead to progress.
.@timburchett, my daughter Jaime would disagree with you. If you think you can't fix the gun violence problem, just resign. Be useless elsewhere. Jaime is forever 14, she was murdered in the Parkland shooting. You, & people like you, are the problem.

A 9 year-old girl lost her life trying to pull the fire alarm to warn other students in a mass shooting. Yet, a congressmen from her state the very next day said ‘there’s nothing you can do’ and basically said that’s why he home schools his kids. The 9 year old had more bravery.
Charlotte, I couldn’t agree more.
Women lose thousands of dollars each year, and hundreds of thousands over a lifetime, because of gender and racial wage gaps.
I’m committed to building an economy where my daughters have the same rights and opportunities as my sons.
We've all heard @athielen19's story going from undrafted to the Pro Bowl.
But it's the work he's done providing resources to serve, educate and inspire those in need so they're equipped and empowered to reach their full potential that's the most inspiring.

For the work he's done to give the youth in his state an opportunity to achieve their dreams, @athielen19 is the 2022 Minnesota Vikings Man of the Year and nominee for the Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year.
