@CheekyLarsh @adopteecrossing @adopteelaw @AdopteesUnited I don't "choose" my history. I live it and speak truth to it, so I'm blown away by your strange motivation to comment so dismissively about it and to use the tired "I have a friend who's adopted" trope to question my own experience.

@repmattdean @Nokomis_Dad Because it's irrelevant and unnecessary, though I'm sure you already know that. Why not amend the Minnesota Human Right law to add this provision then: "'Familial status' does not include a parent’s physical or sexual exploitation of a child."

Matt Dean@repmattdean·2 Haz

@Nokomis_Dad I’ll be happy to be quiet and even apologize if someone can provide a good reason for striking that language. So far people just call me names and whatnot, which usually means there is no good answer.

Striking down the Jacob Wetterling-era law that excluded pedophiles from protected status under the state’s human rights law could have the same effect as including them in it (in a future court challenge). The votes in the house and senate provide clear legislative intent. What were they thinking?!

Matt Dean@repmattdean

Someone please remind me why the MN legislature decided it was bad to offend pedophiles and passed a law saying they can no longer be excluded as a protected class designation under the state human rights act? cbsnews.com/news/jacob-wet…

Thank you, Sen. @ErinMayeQuade and Minnesota legislators. Five years ago my son walked out of Washburn HS and made the trip St. Paul, where he and other students staged a die-in on the Capitol floor, demanding action. Action is now reality. 🙌🏽 🙏🏽

Erin Maye Quade@ErinMayeQuade

Just five years ago, I had to sit-in on the floor of the State House to protest Republican inaction on gun violence. Today, WE got to take the action. These bills will save lives. Minnesotans have been organizing and demanding for these bills for years

Looking forward to @ZaynabForSenate becoming my state Senator. Make sure you vote today.

Please, oh please, can we just figure out public financing of campaigns? The texts and emails are frickin’ relentless. No, you’re not tied in the polls. You are losing big time.

This clickbait listicle from @Forbes (www3.forbes.com/leadership/the…) is nonsensical — Vermont is listed as top inbound state with net migration of...-300? huh? — but this juxtaposition ↯ made me laugh out loud. (cc: @VintageReader, @CChupack, @samhchilders, @gregoryluce, @sallyray5)

I loved talking to @ssteingraber1. It was a great conversation.

So thrilled to be a guest on ⁦@gregoryluce⁩ #Adoptee Rights Podcast! This is the first time I’ve spoken publicly about how my ethos as a climate activist and research as a biologist is informed by my identity as an adoptee. #adopteevoices matter adopteesunited.org/whatnext/

I rarely talk publicly about my family except when they make fun of me. But my teenager suddenly likes Prefab Sprout? What?

Growing up, the Boggy Creek Monster was the legendary monster that we were afraid of. It didn't help that we had a creek in our backyard. Was there a regional monster where you grew up?
