The last time Ramadan, Lunar New Year, and Lent began so close together was 1863. The cosmic alignment of these 3 seasons this year feels powerful. Sending joy, generosity, compassion, and renewal to all.
My dentist is Dr. Chue and my optometrist is Dr. Vue and that delights me to no end.
Since October, federal courts have ruled more than 4,400 times that ICE is illegally jailing immigrants.
Now the agency wants to spend $38B to turn warehouses across the country into detention camps.
Remember that some of Trump's biggest supporters are private prison companies running these camps.
There’s a vote in DC tomorrow that would give DHS $11 billion more in funding. Schumer and Jeffries have already walked back any “demands” they had for DHS.
I, for one, do not think this timing is just a coincidence. Turn down the temp for the vote. Turn it right back up when the bag is secured.
Am I the only Minnesota kid who thought it was good news if we only had 6 more weeks of winter? #GroundhogDay
Rest in peace, Catherine O'Hara. You were simply the best.

National media should really be covering the fact thay every major school, museum, and arts institution in the Twin Cities, and hundreds of local businesses are closed tomorrow to protest federal occupation.
Nothing like this at this scale has happened anywhere in America anytime in living memory.
We all need good news today

This is the weird and wonderful Minnesota I love
"I am now left to raise our son and to continue teaching him, as Renee believed, that there are people building a better world for him. That the people who did this had fear and anger in their hearts, and we need to show them a better way."
Stunningly beautiful words from Becca Good.

US Citizenship ceremonies are overflowing with joy and pride in becoming American. Taking this moment away--and the thousands of dollars they've invested--is immensely cruel. I'm outraged for my neighbors from Burma, Afghanistan, Somalia, and more who are being discriminated against by this action.
I'm a proud Minnesotan today 🏳️⚧️⚽️🏋🏼🥇
My friend is very interested and can pick him up. I am also interested, but I trust her more to keep him alive.
American kids are almost twice as likely to die before reaching adulthood than kids in other high-income countries. This is unacceptable and completely preventable.
I scored good seats for the first time and I thought we could all use some joy today 💛
