Arrests calmly ongoing.

This is going to take a while. There are a lot of clergy risking arrest.

Hey @dfl.org if you send me mail with this man’s face on it, I will handle it like a hot potato & pitch it. I do NOT want to see this face. Not in the WH or my mailbox. It’s one of the reasons I listen to and read my news most often. Pls put me in different mail segment. #trauma #noorangeman #sad!

Yep. More tears every time.

The coffee better be strong, Todd.

Question: is there a place in the plenary hall to avoid the captions on the screen? Flashing captions cause migraines for me. I think even sitting at the very front to view the speaker, it might not be possible to avoid the captions on the screen above.

Yes—if churches don’t learn about cross contamination and create stringent practices around it, communion is exclusive.

Life threatening food allergies are disabilities. How can churches make worship and fellowship places both safe & inclusive for people with this disability? Having GF communion is inclusive. Saying “but it’s gluten free” to people with a peanut or a sesame allergy is not.

So happy to see GA-2513: Resolution Concerning Disability Justice and Inclusion in all Ministries within the Christian Church. As someone who formerly had a disability that kept me from taking (most) communion, I’m so glad to vote on this resolution. #2025GABeyond #foodallergy

Someone just referenced ICE, but on the screen it said ISIS. Yes that feels correct

Meshach the goat looking into the middle distance, pondering existence, reality, and the state of the log she nearly has her head resting on.

Meshach thinks that isn't such a baaaa-d idea!

Can confirm: Just spoke to him, and Barber and two others were, in fact, arrested.

Story coming.

Note: When right-wing activist Sean Feucht held and impromptu evening worship service in the Capitol Rotunda back in 2023, police occasionally walked in to speak with lawmakers participating, but no one was arrested. religionnews.com/2024/07/08/t...

Here is a nice mushroom

This is a national emergency:

Trump’s tariffs are a tax increase for Minnesota families, plain and simple.

While Trump raises prices, I’m proposing the first sales tax rate cut in our state’s history to help Minnesotans weather the storm.

We’ve seen him play this game. It has a name!

Trump orders USDA to take down websites referencing climate crisis Forest service website among many sites affected as agencies scramble to comply with president’s orders

When our leaders refuse to talk about climate change, we have more of a responsibility to do so; to advocate for and become better leaders in the vacuum. Ignoring climate change will make it worse, but we can all have a part in mitigating the worst effects.

Thank you, Billie!

Billie, the black and gray goat with his tongue out and ears pointed to the sides.

Billie the goat likes making funny faces. He thinks in a world that seems scary, taking time to be silly is an act of resistance, resiliency, and hope.

Yes!

When I was a teacher, my students and I always took time this month to honor the generations of Black Americans who fought against injustice to achieve equal rights.

May we all reflect on our past as we continue working to build a society that lives up to its democratic ideals.

He’s blaming disabled people.

Unbelievable.

I just called Target Customer Service to register my disgust that they’re rolling back DEI programs. And as a Minnesotan, it’s especially disappointing. Today I’ll renew my Costco membership.
