Love this guy. I would be so happy if he became our next mayor. We need new vision and commitment to the neighborhoods.

When we act with courage and conviction,
We remember them.

When we face decisions that are difficult,
We remember them.

When we are tempted to compromise our principles,
We remember them.

When we recognize the dignity and humanity of all people
We remember them.

When we are weary and in need of strength,
We remember them.

When we are lost and sick at heart,
We remember them.

When we weep with despair for the world of war and conflict,
We remember them.

When we have joy we crave to share,
We remember them.

Remembering Paul & Sheila Wellstone, Marcia, Mary, Tom and Will (10/25/22)

At the rising of the sun and its going down,
We remember them.

At the beginning of the year and when it ends,
We remember them.

When the buds burst forth in color and the leaves fall from the trees,
We remember them.

If ICE thinks it's okay to assault a pastor in broad daylight, imagine what they're doing in the dark.

Showing up to work to avoid a shutdown is apparently a minimum threshold Republicans can’t be bothered to meet.

Extra! Extra! 8/31 🎈🎈 Yes, good things are STILL happening!

Indivisible Twin Cities' action at the Minnesota State Fair is featured in Jessica Craven's newsletter. We're so grateful for the 150 volunteers who stood in front of the Republican booth for 66 hours talking to hundreds people. We won't stop fighting the fascists. They will be held accountable.

Overwhelmingly positive. The Republicans are ignoring us after trying to get us kicked out. The First Amendment! Most impact with supporters who now feel less alone and more clear how to take action. One Vietnam vet today told us he fought to defend the Constitution, not destroy it. He's enraged.

If you’re mad about Dems avoiding talking about DC, you can blame the Democratic quants, as demonstrated in this memo from David Shor’s Blue Rose Research

After appearing on WCCO today, Attorney General Keith Ellison stopped by to thank the "It's Not Fair" volunteers defending our democracy. Thanks for appreciating we are all in this together, each of us doing our part. @indivisibletwincities.org @keithellison.bsky.social

Yesterday, despite the assassination of his dear friend Melissa Hortman, Keith Ellison went to the Capitol to join more than 70,000 people in No Kings Day. His words provided solace, hope and inspiration. His presence reassured people. The work to save democracy continues. We will prevail.

Tesla’s Future Uncertain As 10,000 Cybertrucks Remain Unsold The Cybertruck was meant to be a major home run for Tesla. But after multiple recalls and a souring public image, the truck and its entire brand are on the ropes.

Guess it's up to us to make that future certain πŸ˜‰ Certain demise, that is. #teslatakedown

1. It’s still rumor
2. If Trump pardons Chauvin, he Can ONLY pardon the federal convictions - not state convictions.
3. So, even if Trump pardons Chauvin, Chauvin will still owe Minnesota the remainder of his 22.5 sentence. Chauvin’s not getting out no matter what Trump does.

Pope Leo XIV took the name of Pope Leo XIII, who lifted up the rights of workers to a fair wage, safe working conditions, and trade unions. He became the "Pope of the Workers"; I’m glad we have another Pope who cares about working people. Perfect rebuttal for Age of the Oligarchs.
