There are some really important and powerful voices speaking up against the rollback to undocumented health care coverage on the Minnesota house floor today.

Grateful for the members of the #mnleg leading with their values and speaking up for *all* their constituents.

They benefit by making the working class hate immigrants, while their billionaire buddies tear all of us apart.

They’re in the pocket of insurance companies, that don’t want ANYONE to have a public option.

If they could fully destroy MNCare, they would.

The fact that these GOP legislators know that MNCare is not free, and continue to say that immigrants are getting free healthcare, is the absolute worst.

They lie without blinking. They lie knowing that lies work with their base. They’re LIARS. It’s bone-chilling.

I say, "is that real?" about a million times a day now.

Recession is their plan - they don’t care about anyone other than those who can buy up assets while everyone else suffers.

As MN debates its next budget, it is important to remember that our social and economic strength comes from the richest among us. Tech bros, high paid CEOs, and passive investors turn the gears of society & we need to make sure they are properly incentivized to continue profiting off of our labor.

Words can’t fully express how proud I am of my friend and our next DFL Treasurer @unionlindy.bsky.social She’s so smart, driven, compassionate, and fully committed to helping build a stronger DFL. Yay Lindy!

πŸ“£πŸ“£ Margaret, a manufactured homeowner in Northfield, has an important message for the #mnleg: It’s time to stand up to predatory corporations who are making a quick buck off our communities so we all can live in peace.

The right wing screams about profit for the rich, including cutting taxes for the rich, while we’re all out here trying to have a fair system where our taxes can do good things for people.

Billionaires and reality TV stars in the Oval Office ARE a sign of government corruption.

I don’t get how people can’t zoom out and understand that government is just a:

- shared pool of money
- for shared resources
- where everyone has a voice
- without a profit-driven influence or middleman

That’s what our government is built to be, and MAGA’s destroying that.

Important moment of bipartisan agreement at #mnleg today:

Outsourcing public services drains revenue, hurts workers, and limits oversight. Our state government can do more to provide direct, systemic solutions rather than sending our $$$ to private actors.

They'd like to think taxes exist in a vacuum, that our shared taxes disappear into the sky rather than funding the essential services that we need. We loved this moment from @athenahollins.bsky.social - setting the record straight.

It's clear Trump's billionaire advisors are coming at Social Security HARD and that they and the rest of the wealthiest 1% have the most to gain from destroying Social Security.

Hands off our safety net, Elon.

Two-spirit people have been around for as long as our families can remember, and colonizers are the ones who pushed the gender binary on us. @repliishkozlowski.bsky.social calls out anti-trans legislation for what it is - state-sanctioned bullying.

They can't erase people - we fight back, we stay.

All of the bros who love Elon Musk are also the insufferable bros from middle & high school who only talked about 4chan.

The government’s too important to be edgelord-ing all over it, guys. Lay off of peoples’ lives. 😑
