SF 2381 was introduced to the Minnesota State legislature on April 7 by Sen David Osmek of Mound, MN. This bill would prevent anyone convicted of criminal activity in connection with a protest from receiving any kind of state aid. MN voters get to work. Crush this thing.

Let joy.
Let entering. Let rage and calm join.
Let quail come.
Let winter impress you. Let spring.

Minnesota GOP: Trump is coming to see you on Wednesday. Stand with Laura @laurawbush. Oppose the policy of family separation at the border. x.com/laurawbush/status/1008…

I live in a border state. I appreciate the need to enforce and protect our international boundaries, but this zero-tolerance policy is cruel. It is immoral. And it breaks my heart.
