Caucuses are tonight! As of 2022, felons whose voting rights haven’t been fully restored and immigrants who aren’t U.S. citizens can caucus with the DFL and become convention delegates!
Caucuses are at risk of being targeted by ICE, but you can still have someone deliver a non-attendee form
Rest in peace Victor Manuel Diaz. He was a Latino immigrant kidnapped by ICE in Minneapolis. He died in ICE custody at Camp East Montana, Texas while facing deportation.
We have unjust immigration system that continues to take the lives of our neighbors while tearing families apart. 1/
The DFL treats its volunteers so poorly. My friends ran caucuses and city convention last year with NO support from the state party. Now this person from Arizona is shaming us for criticizing the state party as it fundraises off our trauma.
Too much mischief, i guess /j
a) this is just a national walz check under the trump brand
b) im pretty sure that the cost of most tariffs is passed onto the end consumer? so this is just giving people back their money?

My budget balances itself back out starting in January, but this fall has been a rough one.
Also, the graphic is a visualization of what it's like in my head. I'm mostly sharing, in case people find that interesting at all.
I don't think walking through every decision I've made that led me here is the right move, but I can do it if necessary! Generally speaking, I got here from a gnarly combo of 1) unexpected expenses 2) being cautions 3) paying for stuff for other poor people and 4) overdraft fees.
I'm hoping that I can meet my goal of $1,894.85. Anything over goes to cat food and maybe a cat tree and paying down my debt.
I have chronic doesn't-have-enough-money disease. Even though I'm being paid the highest hourly wage I've ever made, I still don't have enough money to pay for all the bills that are due in December.
If I were running the DNC, there would be Democratic Party sponsored food relief banks across the country right now that specifically welcomed anyone regardless of party affiliation.
Along with the food, there could be voter registration and links to runforsomething.net

and i think individual journalists are thinking this is an attack on their work, it’s not. it’s an attack on the whole system we have. like i know strib can’t cover the power and the money in our elections because strib is in bed with the power and money!
this is why i said we don’t have a serious political press in this town. strib only covers shelley madore’s residency issue on october 4, months after ward 2 convention and after weeks after early voting has already begun, all of which is months and months after people have been sounding the alarm
I will outlast these fuckers. I will live to be worryingly over 100, and I will spend every one of those years ensuring the mess they built is so thoroughly dismantled it cannot be pieced together again
re: this claim, there were several submitted challenges that contained made up rules that are not in any DFL governing documents claiming secret ballots are required. it is unclear if this was the work of AI or not

Now do the 300 brands doing the least climate destruction.
13. I invited the pro-HERO campaign to respond, and despite the clear positive impact from telling trans people's stories and confronting the hate, they still gave an "all lives matter"-type answer and pivoted back to veterans. They unsurprisingly lost and HERO was repealed 61%-39%. It wasn't close.
This is a brilliant book by Alec Karakatsanis. So much of what we are inundated with about public safety is explained accurately. Check out my podcast interview with Alec on #7 of “We Don’t Have to Choose,” or come see him in person next Monday at Moon Palace Books at 6.
Last thing: based on his testimony at the meeting tonight, John Maraist seems like the real deal, and I'm so glad we have him chairing the city party. 5/5
I’m publicly calling on the @dfl.org to issue a public statement condemning what just happened at the DFL Feminist Caucus meeting.
I’m sorry you were forced to experience this horrendous behavior @dexanderson.com.
Minnesota is one of the safer states for trans people… for now
But there's no shortage of people (yes, even within the DFL) looking to change that, and it's gonna take a lot of cis allies being vigilant and loud to keep them from succeeding
So that's real fun 😞
there is no question in my mind that rfk jr is the most dangerous person in this administration and that his eugenicist ideology threatens the lives of millions of people www.advocate.com/politics/dem...
Oh shit, I remember hearing about that story! Had no idea it was the same guy. What a cool dude.
The two questions CVS asks for eligibility – have you received a COVID-19 vaccine in the last two months, and do you have a condition that puts you at high risk for severe outcomes from COVID-19?
Successful scheduling of a vaccine after answering those two questions (did not complete booking since I just got a last-year version)
Minnesota people- CVS is taking appointments for the 2025-26 COVID booster. They will ask if you have a condition that puts you at high risk for severe outcomes from COVID-19. Say yes, proceed to schedule.
No verification step. 👍🏻
This is an inappropriate attack on the character of a volunteer who was helping at the convention and implies an extremely serious accusation that should get Forsyth censured by whatever means we have.
I'm serious. He is implying that Maddie rigged the convention.
Attacks on Amy Livingston are shameful. She has been a devoted volunteer for years.
Hey, I’m a survivor & cis woman - transphobia is a part of rape culture, there’s a difference between FEELING uncomfortable and BEING safe, transphobia makes all of us less safe, women & survivors don’t need you to speak for us thx
It won’t happen under ours either.
