Today in #mnleg legislators are debating the Omnibuzz 🌳🌎💧🐝 environment bill. Rep. Rick Hansen talks about all the great provisions protecting our air, water, soil, wildlife, and all Minnesotans. house.leg.state.mn.us/live/1

All Minnesotans deserve to be safe, no matter where they live or what they look like. I wrote about why the Minnesota Senate Republican approach will bring neither safety nor justice. #mnleg startribune.com/gop-approach-w…

This is bullshit.

Looking forward to passing Paid Family and Med Leave and Earned Safe and Sick time off the House floor in the Jobs bill at the #mnleg. Everyone deserves time to care for their loved ones and themselves without risking a paycheck. Another lesson from the pandemic. #PFML #ESST

A moment of GRATITUDE: Thanks to all of the state representatives who have backed funding for #ForeverGreen and #ContinuousLivingCover this session — especially Reps. Mike Sundin, Ginny Klevorn + Rep. Todd Lippert. Thx for supporting new profitable crops that protect water quality!

#EnvironmentConferenceCommittee has begun! House & Senate are starting pretty far apart, but I’m hopeful we can find common ground to protect our state’s incredible water, land, wildlife and people. 💧🐝🐢🦌🐟🐺🦆🪷🌳#ForAHealthyThrivingMinnesota

From the MPCA: "climate change is real and has an environmental justice impact." Low-income communities of color are already and will continue to suffer the most harm from climate change. The House bill has provisions to address climate change; the Senate does not. #mnleg

Yesterday Rep. Rick Hansen had the gavel in the Environmental Conference committee. He brought scientists and agencies to talk about PFAS, Environmental Justice, lead, and CWD. Today the Senate brought the Chamber of Commerce testifying against health and the environment. #mnleg

Director Jaschke of MN BWSR speaks to the high demand for the #Lawns2Legumes program during #EnviroConferenceCommittee . Thousands of Minnesotans are on the waiting list, wanting to do their part to convert turf lawns to pollinator-friendly habitats.🐝🌸🦋🌱 #ProtectPollinators

Action alert: #mnleg #homes4allmn

⁦Minnesota House DFL⁩ is ready to come back for a special session to complete our work. We need ⁦mnsenategop⁩ to agree to join us. startribune.com/state-capitol-…

⁦Minnesota House DFL⁩ is ready to come in for a special session to make sure we access federal infrastructure funds, and more. We need the Senate GOP to join us. #mnleg startribune.com/lawmakers-must…

The DFL fought hard for this win for workers. Be sure to apply for hero pay, and thank you for sacrificing for all of us. #mnleg Minnesota workers can apply for ‘hero pay’ starting Wednesday. startribune.com/minnesota-work…

Watched the #January6thCommitteeHearings. The revelation that Trump endorsed the hanging of VP Pence shows what we already knew, that Trump would do anything to stay in power. He is the potential dictator our founders feared. Healing democracy requires holding him accountable.

#roeoverturned is outrageous and heartbreaking. Trusting women with their reproductive health decisions is fundamental to dignity and equality. My daughters, and yours, are less equal today and less free. We must act to dismantle the power of extreme minority rule.

Joy and connection are essential to winning the future we want. Our big DFL contingent in the Rochesterfest parade was full of joy, & our neighbors responded. #VoteBlue2022 #rochmn

Some of the new owner’s new rules: No gardens. No laundry lines. No nighttime walks. No kids playing in other kids’ yards. No dogs outside, even fenced in or tied up. The power to remove any guest for any reason at any time. All these broke the law & I made sure they knew it.

Everyone has a right to safe housing. All tenants, incl of manufactured homes, have rights in MN law that must be respected but too many are taken advantage of. I created a new unit in my office to protect tenants & we keep winning⬇️. I’m not stopping now. ag.state.mn.us/Office/Communi…

Thank you Attorney General Keith Ellison for being the people’s lawyer and standing with our neighbors in Northfield. Tenants were terrified and felt powerless. They are relieved to have you behind them.

Thank you Governor Tim Walz for this #climate leadership. We need a comprehensive plan for an existential threat. Encouraged by the lands provisions and the Clean Fuel Standard that can accelerate adoption of continuous living cover crops and EVs . startribune.com/minnesota-clam…
