How many women had clinic appointments scheduled for the next week in the 20-odd states with snap-back laws? 5,000? 10,000? 30,000 of the almost 100M women in those states? There life changed in seconds. Disrobed of their/our freedom, liberty, privacy, and dignity. For shame.

NEW: Construction workers in Minneapolis are taking on developers to stop rampant wage theft. Developers use citizenship status to bully workers into staying silent. One worker says they’re owed $110K in stolen wages. The Building Dignity & Respect Program would end this abuse.

The Minneapolis Police Department has used force against Black people at seven (7) times the rate of white people. About 20% of Minneapolis’ population of 430,000 is Black. But when the police get physical, 60% of the time the person subject to that force is Black.

To the Black kids waiting and watching: You matter. You are loved. You have worth. You have value. Don’t let ANYTHING tell you otherwise.

Cops shot and killed a 17-year-old in a school bathroom and justified it by saying he shot a cop. They've now admitted the cop accidentally shot himself and suddenly no one is willing to say exactly what happened.

Teaching today was brutal. My first class of the day is a normally radiant & full-of-life 6th grade class. Today was heavy. We talked about Adam and being 13. Here's their collective poem

We can't just sit back and wait for police to kill someone else like they killed Adam Toledo and Daunte Wright. The Senate must pass the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act, end police brutality and move our justice system towards one that doesn't kill kids but keeps them safe.

Let’s be clear: the brave people demanding justice outside the Brooklyn Center PD are our neighbors They live in communities across MN. They’re sick of watching lives stolen by the police This is unacceptable. You can’t gas, arrest, and tell them to go home—this is their home
