๐ขGOOD ABORTION NEWS KLAXXON!! ๐ข
Luxembourg becomes (headline correction the third) country to put abortion rights in its constitution! While I am mindful that "legal" and "constitutional" do not equal "accessible" abortion, I will take ANY good abortion news.

I am looking forward to new leadership in SD59! Itโs absurd how many chairs we have gone through because people treated it as a stepping stone to run for office or left when they wanted to support a friend running against DFL endorsed candidates. Tara will focus on our community & has my support.
a sticker with the text Tara for chair and an image of a laser blue heron in the background
Tara is v legit, right down to her hand drawn logo & N Mpls union print shop sticker.
tonight i went to a meet & greet @ the new Ecuadorian restaurant in ward 4 off Lowry, & had the opportunity to break bread w/ Tara Widner & her Blue Heron Crew running for SD59 DFL leadership this Sat, March 7
Tara is a 2-spirit, retired union member, water & rice protector, running to be ur chair!
A bill with $40 million in rent relief is headed to the Minnesota Senate floor next week. Lead author @lindseyportmn.bsky.social crafted a bill that addresses the urgency of the moment.
Plus, the bill includes my provision to extend pre eviction notices from 14 to 30 days temporarily.
here is the video from this housing โjusticeโ forum. plz watch:

northside has done what itโs done the past few months despite our electeds, not because of them.
I was proud to author an ordinance in 2023 moving mandating a 30-day rental pre-eviction notice in Minneapolis.
Sadly, weโre barely going to pass the temporary 60-day notice tomorrow and then face the threat of a veto.
Thank you Saint Paul for being pro-human.

sheโs also making a v vapid accusation that the Hmong community was left out of organizing against ICE, when the woman did ABSOLUTELY nothing to support her community. she hid in her lavish parkway home while her neighbors were being abducted.

Minneapolis Councilwoman LaTrisha Vetaw making some pretty wild claims about what โsupportโ she offered Ward 4 schools, that is extremely easy to prove (more like disprove).
MPS teachers are still teaching our students in-person and online in google meets (until April 6) w/ zero input to our working conditions, raising thousands of dollars for rent relief, providing mental health supports for our students, & delivering food 2x a week.
miss me w/ that ptsd bullshit.
14 ptsd cases!
Bringing back the Uprising move.
Worthless. Abolish the MPD.
meanwhile my school is losing 1.5M for next yearโs budget
protect myself & serve myself to ur tax dollars (that should be going to our public schools)
It can't happen here book cover, first american edition. What Will Happen When America Has a Dictator?
I'm in Minnesotaโour go-to near-future book of this era is "It Can't Happen Here" by native son Sinclair Lewis. His vision of a fascist takeover in the U.S. was informed by the experience of his wife Dorothy Thompson, who interviewed Hitler and was the first U.S. journalist expelled by Nazi Germany.
Yikes. Notable that the reaction emojis were limited in the Zoom webinar. Can only send so many ๐ฎ reactions
DM me & i will add u!
Nonprofit โaffordable housingโ providers showing up to testify against Pause Eviction Saves Lives is just further highlighting the way in which nonprofits & foundations have completely failed to meet this moment. This is why we need actual social safety nets, not the Nonprofit Industrial Complex.
if u wanna know how this went, we are 500 messages deep so far in the north community hub chat, so not wellโฆ not well at all.
we just want housing for all, single-payer healthcare, and fully-funded public schools.
they just want to murder us.

the exponential growth of unaccompanied minors in our cityโs schools this school year should be a five-alarm fire rn, & the extremely limited resources we currently have for these children will be dramatically slashed next year.
