Another life lost in Minnesota. We are mourning Alex Pretti. We are angry, and silence is complicity. This should be "everybody’s business". The fierce urgency of now demands action. Every race. Every creed. Every community. Say something. Do something.

Your vote is your demand for a future that moves us all forward. Exercise that sacred right with peace, purpose, and love.

@KamalaHarris As someone who has lived under despots and dictators, I know that words — especially from those in power — carry with them seeds to unite or destroy, to uplift or oppress.

@KamalaHarris As someone who has lived under despots and dictators, I know that words — especially from those in power — carry with them seeds to unite or destroy, to uplift or oppress. We need to hold leaders accountable for the rhetoric they use.

As someone who has lived under despots and dictators, I know that words — especially from those in power — carry with them seeds to unite or destroy, to uplift or oppress. My TED Talk is still relevant.

#TimWalz understands we need every brain in the game to address systemic challenges. Two years ago @Tim_Walz did not hesitate to support Rochester @MnNaacp efforts to promote local black businesses, as well as an education program to address education disparities. He showed up!
