Took my kid to the #InternationalWomensDay March at the Minnesota State Capitol today. Fortifying, uplifting, affirming. Our voices matter! 💜@mn50501.bsky.social

Large crowd on the steps of the Minnesota State Capitol building watches State Representative Leigh Finke, first openly transgender Minnesota State legislator, speak for International Women’s Day.

A hand holds up a sign that reads “Senator Tina Smith is right. Musk is a dick” in front of the Minnesota State Capitol dome at the International Women’s Day rally.

A mother and her teenager stand on the steps of the Minnesota State Capitol holding signs that read “I like democracy…how about you?” and “Make empathy great again.” They look proud and happy to be at the International Women’s Day March.

A person at the International Women’s Day March at the Minnesota State Capitol holds a sign depicting a balloon that reads “male ego.” A woman’s hand holds a needle labeled “literally anything” aimed at the balloon. The message is that the male ego is so fragile that it can be popped by literally anything.

The Trump Tax Scam sells out everyday Americans to help billionaires get even richer.

(next to an image of Trump) MAGA Republicans are slashing necessary programs to fund tax cuts for the rich.

Their budget proposes:
$230 billion cuts for SNAP/nutrition programs
$880 billion cuts for health care funding $330 billion cuts for public education & workforce training/protection
$4.5 trillion in tax breaks for the rich

This isn't about efficiency.
It's about making the rich richer

I would love it if our state could pass legislation to make childcare affordable or families in MN!

🌎👩‍🏫👏 It’s true: childcare makes the world go round. That’s why parents like Karla are calling on the #mnleg to give it the funding it deserves! #FundChildcare #DayWithoutChildcare

😠 "Measures were added to local zoning ordinances a century ago to keep neighborhoods unwelcoming to folks different from those already residing there." But together we can do something about it. Take action with Julie at bit.ly/Yes2Home!

THANK YOU to everyone who took action during this congressional recess! Whether you helped turn up the pressure on a Republican or push your Democratic representative to use their leverage, we could not be more thankful for all you’re doing to fight back against the Trump-Musk coup. 👏

We ask, as constituents, that Sentor Klobuchar fight any and all of Trump's nominees, delay all voting, and deny unanimous consent. We ask she use and all powers at her disposal. We ask she put bipartisanship aside, there is no bipartisanship with facism.

Do not comply with facism, fight with conviction and use Mitch McConnell's tactics against them.
