Visiting here makes me nostalgic for the platform that once was.

@liz_hallett We’re routinely told that speaking truth to power is the path to lasting change, but our throats are raw from the number of times the same message has to be delivered. Thanks for stepping up again and again and again. #metoo #fundraising

Roger Cummings at the opening of the new @JXTA_ARTS. This gorgeous campus is a beacon and an engine on Broadway. #SneakerBall #ArtsMatter 🧡

62' - GOAL: USA!!!!! Horan sends Lavelle's corner into the back of the net and we're level!!!! 🇺🇸 USA 1 - 1 NED 🇳🇱

It’s heartbreakingly too late for Amara, but Minnesota is stepping up to address the toxic impacts of #PFAS. Please share widely - a better environmental future is within our grasp if we link arms to better protect each other.

@robkirbycomics omg yes a thousand times. I’m all excited about 🧵🧵and then I’m like “I don’t follow Mark Cuban. Or JLo. Or the Denver Nuggets. Why so crazy, feed???” And yet I was just thinking about those 41 followers - what do THEY want to see? It’s a hard ride to quit.

Seven years ago, seconds after being pulled over for a broken tail light, Philando Castile was fatally shot by a police officer. Philando was an employee of Saint Paul Schools whose nickname was Mr. Phil, he was a devoted father, and he passionately supported young people. (1/3)

This is hilarious, right up there with getting the MN Republicans to accidentally legalize CBD.

The @NathansFranks Hot Dog Eating Contest, a July 4th tradition, is currently under a lightning delay at Coney Island. The culprit is this slow-moving cell producing frequent lightning in the area.

@LtGovFlanagan Same with the lunch tickets. Thanks for working for the better world our kids deserve.

Universal school meals go into effect today! As a someone who grew up with a different colored lunch ticket, I know firsthand how the school cafeteria has been a space of stigma and shame.   In Minnesota, we've changed that reality for our kids.

Happy Fiscal New Year to all celebrate! #nonprofitlife #fiscalyear

So many times I’ve looked to youth for a glimmer of optimism as we struggle towards the better world. It would seem that #SCOTUS is determined to hold us tethered to values that most Americans have already rejected, youth and equity be damned.

Amplifying to @united because I’ve been there!

This is the face of a man who climbed the ladder of affirmative action to his present perch of power only to help destroy the very ladder on which he ascended. This is not only the mark of deep ingratitude & disavowal of history, but a withering betrayal of justice & democracy.

I don't know why Lance Armstrong woke up one morning recently and decided that trans athletes and "fairness in sports" should be a topic that needs his public exploration, but I do have thoughts on all this and context for those without it. (thread)
