may we remember speaker hortman every time a kid in Minnesota eats their free lunch.
every time a trans person moves to mn for safety.
when an undocumented person gets their driver’s license or a returning citizen gets to vote.
when we have clean energy and electric school buses and warm homes.

In their memory, we recommit ourselves to the values that Melissa and Mark exemplified: building a kinder, more just, and loving world.

And he talked complete rubbish from the start, as well as rudely talking over the very articulate and calm @hamishfalconermp.bsky.social . I thought the chair did well: she had done her homework and countered some of Tice’s gobbledygook quite succinctly.

Just finished Any Questions, up against Richard Tice. I knew there would be plenty of BS on climate, but he spouted rubbish on *every* subject. Even claimed that the EU is not our biggest trading partner, but the US. In fact, we have 3x more trade with the EU. He believes whatever he wants to.
