  1. Minnesotans: please call Governor Walz and express your opposition to this bill.

    Two key points:

    1. It's unconstitutional.
    2. It's mass surveillance, a massive personal data handout to the tech giants, a gross privacy violation, and a catastrophic personal data breach just waiting to happen.

  6. Freedom is just another word for plug-in solar.

    "That notion of personal freedom and consumer choice broadened the appeal of plug-in solar. Clean energy policy has become deeply partisan."

  11. "Opponents have argued that the bill would drive up legal costs for associations, which would pass those along to homeowners, and otherwise punish organizations typically run by volunteers. HOAs, they argue, have stepped in to provide vital services and infrastructure increasingly outsourced by local governments.

    "But supporters say they were motivated by homeowners’ stories of HOAs acting as unaccountable quasi-governments that can make arbitrary rules, like how long a car can be parked in a driveway or how long a trash bin can stay on the street, then levy fines and even initiate foreclosures over violations. Similar bills have recently passed in other states, including Florida and Georgia."

  12. The ethics committee found no probable cause and dismissed the complaint against Engen and Hudson. The committee read aloud a statement clarifying the norms and rule of the House stating that lawmakers are expected to attend committee meetings.

    Neither the ethics complaint nor the committee discussed Engen and Hudson’s post-game adventures, which went sideways in the early morning hours of March 27.

  18. You read that right: $100 million.

    "The Senate last week passed a bill to spend close to $100 million over the next two years beefing up security at the Capitol, for legislators, elected officials and the judiciary. A smaller but similar bill is pending in the state House."

  25. Our Climate Superfund authors are in the strib today, laying out the case for the superfund clearly: you make a mess, you clean it up. Regular Minnesotans shouldn't get stuck with the bill while the fossil fuel companies that caused the climate crisis are let off the hook. #mnleg

  26. Exactly! Well said. Per @[email protected] here are the State House districts that Harris won and are currently represented by Rs. The DFL candidates in these races probably won't inspire. But, they'll provide the votes for DFL speaker and committees that could: 41A 3A 36A 45A 34A 57B #MNLeg

  29. First day of the #Minnesota Legislative Session opened in a good way along with our allies at the Rise and Repair alliance. We’re grateful for their leadership on legislative proposals to protect the land, water, and Indigenous rights.

    The Three Waters team is actively pursuing legislator support for two bills that would help protect MN from the risks of oil #pipelines. Join our meeting next Thursday to learn more about our legislative initiatives.

    The afternoon honored the late Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark; as well as Senator John Hoffman who returned to session, following the assassination attacks last June. May this legislative season celebrate their service, reckon with their loss, and advance protections for all Minnesotans.

  31. I used this form this morning to message MN legislators about transportation bill negotiations, which will likely need a special session. These points need pressure from all parts of the state, and I added my own to request they restore funding to the Northern Lights Express to Duluth, Amtrak Borealis improvements, and commit to reviving and expanding Northstar to St. Cloud and elsewhere

  33. Not only did Gov. Olson fight the Klan, corrupt businesses and monied special interests, he was also kind of a smoke show. #MNHistory #MinnesotaHistory #MNleg

  34. When legislators tied up Depression relief bills in the legislature in April 1933, #MN Governor Floyd B. Olson warned: "I shall declare martial law. A lot of people who are now fighting the measures because they happen to possess considerable wealth will be brought in by the provost guard. They will be obliged to give up more than they are giving up now." Picture by me, quote from spartacus-educational.com/USAo #Minnesota #MNHistory #mnleg #MinnesotaHistory #USHistory #History

  35. You may have to go to the birdsite, but if you haven't watched AOC question Tom Bakk, it's pretty fun. Why was he so unwilling to admit he's a lobbyist for mining interests? via @RacketMN

  36. It matters who your authors are. You can have an author who does the bare minimum and sells you out when it's convenient, or you can have champions who will go to the ends of the earth to pass the bill because it's the right thing to do. #KeepingNurses #MinnesotaNursesAssociation #SafeStaffingSavesLives #mnleg #SandraFeist #ErinMurphy

    If you or a loved one has been in a #Minnesota #hospital lately, you know that nurses are being asked to do the impossible. Many are leaving the profession entirely, rather than continue working in #unsafe conditions for the patients and for themselves. Please take this quick action to support them. #KeepingNurses #Nurses #mnleg mnnurses.org/tell-your-legisla

  42. I guess the hope is if the toothless political threats won't get em, maybe the threat of eternal damnation will. Somehow, I doubt this will be effective. #MNLeg #SF1
