Black-and-white portrait of Dr. Jane C. Wright (1919–2013), pioneering Black surgeon, oncologist, and "mother of chemotherapy," seated at a laboratory workbench in a clinical research setting. She wears a white lab coat over a dark top and gazes directly at the camera with a composed, focused expression. In front of her is a large compound microscope with multiple objective lenses, adjustment knobs, and a stage, positioned prominently in the foreground. Her left hand rests near an open notebook or lab record book on the table, while stacks of papers or slides are visible nearby. The background shows softly blurred lab equipment and shelving, evoking a mid-20th-century medical research environment.

"Mother of Chemotherapy" Dr. Jane Wright died #OTD in 2013.

+ Helped shift cancer treatment from palliative care to modern chemotherapy by establishing methotrexate as a foundational treatment for breast cancer in 1951
+ Only woman co-founder, American Society of Clinical Oncology #WomenInSTEM #BHM

Ice Sculpture on MN Capitol steps says: "Prosecute ICE"

A beautiful ice sculpture on the MN state capitol plaza.

A crystal clear ice sculpture with a crystal clear message for protecting our democracy and constitutional rights:

"Prosecute ICE"

ICE agents who violate laws & constitutional rights should be prosecuted as anyone else would be.

If we want a system that protects people — not profits —
we have to change the rules themselves.
✊ Volunteer. Organize. Amend.

My colleague seems to think we should focused on protecting ICE agents right now. Not our neighbors who are being terrorized by them in the streets? I'm sorry, I disagree.

Column | The world recoils at Trump’s ‘paramilitary’ force The havoc wrought by the deployment of federal immigration enforcement in the U.S. has wrought unflattering comparisons abroad to unaccountable paramilitary forces.

Dark Days for Democracy

Most Americans have no clue that the US could quickly become a police state.

ICE’s budget is bigger than most European armies.

“The Dept of Homeland Security has, in effect, become a tool of a dictator, our Ministry of Interior”

Opinion | Gambling Is Killing Sports and Consuming America

Sports betting scandals & the public's fading trust, "points to an industry rotting from the inside — one that rewards corruption, punishes transparency & treats addiction as a business model."

This is what democracy looks like. #NoKings

Rep. Tom Emmer says this woman is from the "terrorist wing" of the Democratic Party, because she attended what he called a "Hate America" rally.

She loves America, Rep Emmer.

As do the other thousands at the White Bear Lk, MN No Kings rally. Beautiful weather, beautiful, patriotic people!

We need an assault weapons ban - but we also need more comprehensive gun violence prevention legislation, including licensing and registration. #mnleg

YouTube video by Minnesota Senate Media Services Gun Violence Prevention Working Group - 09/15/25

Ban assault weapons & large-capacity magazines - during the special session!

It might have saved lives at Annunciation if passed 2 yrs ago.

But, we also need broader gun violence laws. Here's my testimony on my comprehensive legislation:

Minnesota Legislature needs to act now on gun violence - MinnPost A special session should be called to debate and vote on an assault weapons ban. If it isn't, the Legislature should act in 2026.

Charlie Kirk murdered. Gun violence has no place in America.

Not in schools: Sandy Hook, Uvalde, Annunciation and.... Not in public life: Hortman, Hoffman, Giffords, Scalise, now Kirk.

Each one a tragedy. Each one unacceptable.

We can & must stop the gun violence epidemic.
