[VIDEO] Minnesota Emergency: Organizers vs. ICE (the Inside Story) We just released an inspiring video we created with our Minnesota partners: the inside scoop on how organizers responded in courageous and brilliant ways to the ICE occupation of Minnesota.

In January, organizers in Minnesota responded to ICE’s surge with care, intention, and a commitment to nonviolence, even in the face of deep loss. ✊

Forward Together: Redirecting Our Media Diet From Doom Scrolling Addict to Informed by Independent Media

What are you reading this Sunday? I'm reading @cvindependent.bsky.social (by @jboegle.bsky.social) & the @voiceofsandiego.org. Both prioritize in-depth local reporting over sensationalism. Check out why I choose them over big media outlets open.substack.com/pub/darrellt...

Publications I am familiar with and enjoy, like the @cvindependent.bsky.social, the @voiceofsandiego.org (my current hometown news source) and the Reno News & Review (owned by the same great human who owns the CVI @jboegle.bsky.social) exemplify this approach.

Tonight, I had the great privilege to join with friends and community leaders to support the brilliant, talented and courageous Congresswoman Sarah @mcbride.house.gov to support her re-election as the first and only transgender member of the US Congress.

I’m proud to stand with women around the world working toward a gender equal world. A world free of bias, stereotypes, and discrimination. A world that's diverse, equitable, and inclusive. Together we can forge gender equality. Collectively for #IWD2025 we can all #AccelerateAction.

Small actions. Today I stopped supporting companies that backed off from DEI programming & replaced everything I normally buy from Amazon, Target, Lowe’s and Brown-Forman’s with companies that continue to lead well like Costco, Thrive Market, Grove and Sprouts Farmers Market.

To my transgender and nonbinary friends, I see you, I stand with you, I have shoulders to lean on if you need them and I will fight for you as we need to. An exec order by a bully in the White House does not and cannot remove your existence. It cannot reduce you or diminish how wonderful you are. ❤️🏳️‍⚧️
