True, not sure who was helping her during the convention season. As a DFL officer, he shouldn't have been touching a campaign that summer/fall since the convention voted for no endorsement. But without any donors throwing fits, guess it didn't matter.
when one of my enemies falls, another arises
Having the chair of our largest CD call a meeting to remove a SEC director elected at convention while having no way to credential and ensure votes are tallied while fascism breaks down our door is the shot. Doing this is front of the Secretary of State is the chaser.
the man in charge of our elections watching Scott Graham not confirm eligible voters before taking vote:

This is her campaign manager, a search on him will give you plenty of context. bsky.app/profile/what...
I find it pretty gross how consistently DFL “leaders” believe the rules are an inconvenience when they’re called on not following them
@jasoncomix.bsky.social and @christin612.bsky.social have done incredible work organizing this response to keep people fed while ICE is terrorizing our city. They are such assets to our community. Thank you to everyone who is helping our neighbors during this horrific time!
Can anyone believe that Homan (who was on video accepting a $50k bribe) or anyone in the Trump admin is negotiating in good faith?
Minnesota (looking at you, Gov and Mpls Mayor) should take it's defense of the justice system seriously. We're the backstop to this fascist regime. Don't trust them.

Look how young the abductee looks. Do you see the sheriff deputies blocking observers?
This is the behavior that our mayor and governor are negotiating to allow.
To quote MLK, they are working towards a negative peace, not the presence of justice.
washington county republicans’ facebook post about anders folk speaking to them on 2/7. he is seeking DFL endorsement in running for hennepin county attorney
Minneapolis is still under siege. Homan is just quieter about it than Bovino. We still desperately need help, and resistance, and the abolition of ICE.
Phew, slightly less concerning, but only slightly. Everyone else there were either campaign staff or party insiders or press... That's still horrid conduct for any of those 3 groups too.
Where was Richard?! This behavior should have been addressed right away by the party chair with an immediate rebuke.
And who's the DFL elected official who's booing Ilhan's team? She's getting attacked by Trump on the regular, how about we chill on the friendly fire, m'kay?
Personal Me: this is peak Angie Craig. Local businesses supporting our communities all over the Twin Cities, she picks a coffee chain where the union organizers are currently asking for support against union busting. Read the room, Angie.
Is he attempting Blue Steel? 🤣
Statement from Jacob Thomas with Common Defense:
I love that he's fully in support of a "first wave" approach of providing for parental economic needs, but also jumping into a "second wave".
@mayor.nyc.gov embraces the fun & on-your-toes attitude that's required to make kids a chosen part of public spaces, instead of just an afterthought.
Correcting the record - thank you to @dfl.org for covering security costs. Sorry to be mistaken on that.
Continued thanks to the senate district chairs in Mpls & St. Paul for their extensive work to put on caucuses & adapt and advocate for measures to make them more equitable & safe for all.
Thank you for correcting the record, I'm sorry to get it wrong. All previous comms from MNDFL only talked about the lawyer hotline.
And thanks for taking that step towards partnership. It's been a rocky road since last year, but stuff like this helps a lot in rebuilding trust in Mpls.
This was thanks to the hard work of Mpls & St. Paul making sure there was security at caucuses, & doing it all themselves - no help from @dfl.org. Richard Carlbom needs to be kissing the feet of the SD 60, 62, and 63 & St. Paul district chairs for their work, and apologizing for not giving support.
i am so proud of the way Minneapolis DFL sickos stepped up to plan, coordinate, and convene caucuses across our city tonight!!
i am also so amazed at the number of neighbors caucusing for the first time & many, so many, who stepped up to be delegates.
ily all so much 💙✊
a reporter asked “is mutual aid a form of resistance?”
and i felt my body pulled into of a room of movement elders who have made this seem like a question i don’t have to think about to respond
of course
of course
mutual aid is an expression of love
love is an act of resistance
ilhan braver with her bare hands than an ICE goon with a gun
I’m ok. I’m a survivor so this small agitator isn’t going to intimidate me from doing my work.
I don’t let bullies win.
Grateful to my incredible constituents who rallied behind me. Minnesota strong.
And those right wing assholes keep doxxing people, like they want more violence. Like this Higlebee jerk or whatever, who keeps pretending to "find" leaders in Signal groups... based on the stupidest of conjecture from aliases. 😒
I've been a fan since her days in the legislature, but tonight I'm an even bigger one. She was about the punch the guy.
I wish ppl knew she's not the one to fuck with!
61% of Americans think ICE is out of control, needs to go away. But sure, let's let them keep doing their thing.
Why won't elected Democrats seize the moment and abolish ICE? Defund ICE? Their constituents want it. We need our elected representatives to join us.
P.S. DHS won't do any of this.
This announcement made me literally gasp and cry and shout! I've known Christin for years, and she is a genuine organizer, showing up where needed, never caring about credit or power, just doing the work so that others can thrive. I can't think of anyone better for Minneapolis Schools.
