A year ago today, Minnesota Democrats Melissa and Mark Hortman were murdered and John and Yvette Hoffman were shot (17 times) by a man who spent a year planning his attack on his political targets. Likely, there will be no mention of this outside of MN but it shook us all deeply.

The BWCA is a national treasure that must be protected for the enjoyment of all — including future generations. As early as today, the Senate could vote on a bill to reverse protections and allow a Chilean mining company to pursue a toxic mine in the watershed of the BWCA.

Republican Senators will soon vote to allow a Chilean company to mine in the BWCA watershed. Who asked for this? The billionaire owner of mining conglomerate Antofagasta – who happens to be Ivanka Trump’s former landlord.

One thing #homan said that we can agree on is we don't want violent criminals in our community. But, #ICE is targeting people due to their skin color and accents, not criminals.

Alex Pretti was an American hero. He saved lives. He protected people. He cared deeply about his community, unlike the murderous thugs who killed him. The very last thing he did was try to help a woman who had been pepper-sprayed and violently shoved to the ground by ICE. 1/

Dear NRA card carrying Republicans, I advise all of you to stay inside of your houses while they are still deemed safe zones, because Alex Pretti had his legal to carry firearm holstered as many of you do as well. He helped a bystander and was murdered for it. Your votes won't save your lives.
