#mnleg when fraud becomes a stand-in for: -These organizations don’t belong - These communities can’t be trusted - These services should be shut down We have moved far beyond accountability and into harm.

Remember when we were told federal agents were on the ground to root out fraudsters? We know know that was not the true reason for federal presence here, it was a clear attempt to blame one specific community and to justify one administration's oversized presence in MN.

Fraud has become a partisan/political issue, rather than a policy issue. It's now a catch-all justification for 👉Broad, punitive responses applied across all funding mechanisms 👉Risk overcorrecting 👉Politicizing oversight, and 👉cutting off MNsnts from critical services.

@JenDeJournett Rhetoric matters but impact matters more. These proposals may not say “you can’t🗳️” but they make it harder for specific eligible voters to reg. +🗳️. It IS gov. pushing them. Strict proof-of-citizenship rules create barriers for millions. That’s the issue: not intent but impact.

I think rhetoric is important. And I don't think the characterization that "government" is trying to take your vote away is helpful. We can discuss ways to mitigate issues, debate policy choices etc but I disagree it anyone is trying to keep "specific voters" from voting". Also, if you don't have an ID in modern America , I want you to have one but so you can access banking easier, health care , travel all the things of modern life. That's a real issue and we can solve that for ppl regardless of housing status, age, transportation issues etc.

Our government is trying to take your right to vote because it matters. Cast a ballot this election--show up and fight for your choice. Plan now by: 1) Registering to vote ⬇️ 2) Vote early on Sept. 18th 👉 The time is NOW for a better future #votemn #democracy

No matter where you land on SCOTUS decision eviscerating Section 2 of the VRA, for a governor to unilaterally suspend an election AFTER voters already submitted their ballots over a ruling that doesn't take effect until 2028 is wrong. Period. #DoBetter #EarnTheVote

HAPPY AAPI HERITAGE MONTH 🌸 May is the month of celebrating our Asian neighbors–a time to uplift and honor the histories and cultures of our AAPI communities. Follow us to see what we have to offer for AAPI month! #AAPIMonth #AAPIVoices

@JenDeJournett We can disagree on intent while recognizing impact. SAVE Act, Save America Act, MEGA Act + recent executive order, don’t cancel elections, but add new eligibility + doc. req., ALL citing to unsubstantiated voter fraud litigated and unproven. Effect👉keep specific voters from 🗳️

@commoncausemn No one is trying to take anyone's vote away.
