I enjoy helping people, solving puzzles, playing games, and making cookies. I dislike fascists.

Bit of a lucky break, one of the people I talked with today is helping coordinating family assistance for MPS. I will get info to pass along to you.

It has been a busy week in our household! Katie was biking herself up until the day before her appointment. I was happy to be able to pilot her and our little Hansi both ways. We have also taken him on the bus for a few follow up appointments. I love living in a city and having options!

No sweat. I'm doing work at a few of the schools today, so I figured I'd check.

Do you have the contact arrangement with MPS, or do you need to speak to someone, or are you just navigating the bureaucracy?

I profiled Jason Chavez, the Minneapolis city council member who has been embedded in community efforts to combat ICE.

Paul bought me a Hamm's at Stump Party. To the best of my knowledge, he did not spent 8 years as the head prosecutor of a false conviction factory nor has he voted to appoint any of Donald Trump's judges.

He has my vote.

The real question is does stroking Riker's beard improving others thinking?

I have known Paul for years and I can assure you that you can trust him at their word! Paul is very involved in community and charity efforts, and they always try what they can to lead by example. Minnesotans: you have an incredible person who is fit for the position.

As I was saying: A great night to consider running for office.

Paul is someone I've known for ages online and who I know to be a positive force in the world. I don't live in MN but I do believe in qualified, competent everyday people being able to be viable candidates for public office.

Ilhan Omar: Five steps to take in response to Operation Metro Surge "Nothing about what we witnessed was normal," U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar writes. "Where do we go from here?"

Trump’s β€œOperation Metro Surge” was a militarized campaign of fear that treated immigrants as criminals and weaponized the federal government against U.S. citizens.

We need independent investigations, real accountability, and to abolish ICE.

Hey folks!

While I gave my key issues yesterday, there's certainly more than three things I need to comment on. What issues do you want to hear from me on? What's important for you once the DHS has been dealt with?

3 ICE agents got McDonald’s and then went on a joy ride through the neighborhood tonight around 1 AM. This has nothing to do with public safety and is all about terrorizing people and burning through taxpayer dollars. This is why we can’t rest until every last agent leaves our state.

ICE is still tearing families apart.

They are all here in Saint Paul. He is in El Paso.

Please give if you can. She is the best.

I've known Paul for years now, and they spend an exceptional amount of time since 2007, baking/donating cookies around the country helping raise more than $1,000,000 for charity.

A genuine philanthropist, who fights and stands alongside the people in the streets. MN deserves someone like this.
