Rather be poor and not famous than have anyone question in twenty years where I stood on human rights, or if I was afraid to take a stand against evil.

Target has shown that its leadership can change course. But it still refuses to call for an end to ICE’s occupation of the Twin Cities. Until Target stands with its own community, we’re asking members and allies to shop local instead. shopsmart.aft.org

I'm an attorney who lives in Hennepin County. You shouldn't vote for Anders Folk unless you want a Republican Hennepin Co Attorney. You're allowed to be a single-issue voter in this race. Vote for the person who will prosecute ICE. Vote for Frazier.

FUCK ICE is a winning message. And I don’t think many in the media realized how broad support for that message really is. Like, who did you think the Lutheran ladies holding clandestine no-phones ICE resistance and mutual aid meetings in church basements were gonna vote for???

If the U.S. can't afford to take care of its veterans, then we can't afford to go to war. That's how @maurasullivan is feeling after Congress proposed to cut veteran disability benefits for tinnitus & sleep apnea. Navy veteran @rebeccafornj07 speaks firsthand to the importance of this care.

On this day in 1944, the Gestapo found Anne Frank and her family in their Secret Annex. Her diary stands as a warning against hatred and persecution. Eighty years later, we should recognize the warning signs before it’s too late.🙂‍↕️
