This entire tragedy feels so surreal. There’s still no words to express any of it, except it’s a blessing to see Sen. Hoffman up and smiling.
Now here’s a picture MN can celebrate. State Senator John Hoffman discharged from ICU today after being shot numerous times during assassination attempt. His family tells me he’s moving to a rehab facility and still has a long road ahead. @kare11

On this 160th anniversary of Juneteenth, let us reflect on the unfinished work of justice and ask what more each one of us can do to build a community where freedom and equality are more than words, but lived experiences for all. Happy Juneteenth!
