Update: Latonya Reeves has officially filed to run in the Democratic Primary against Ilhan. This means, according to our new Leave of Absence policy, she is officially committing malfeasance and must be removed from her party positions ASAP.

So now that the resolution has passed, what are we doing with A Better DFL? Read up on it: mailchi.mp/0399a373cc81...

HAPPY JUNE!

I have my typical post-convention "is my throat sore from screaming and the dry convention air, or am I sick because my mask broke?"

Jesus Christ

Julie and Steve are the best. Would throw down for them. So excited to be adding @zackformn.bsky.social to this list

Pro tip. Instant coffee packets dissolve well in Cold water. Instant ice coffee for convention. DFL LFG

My union has endorsed Amy and I will be supporting her going forward. But I am so proud of what Kobey accomplished last night. It takes some damn good organizing skills to pull that off. Getting to know her over the last year has been a pleasure. and I know I will see her often!

Breakfast of champions after 4 hours sleep. LFG DFL

I normally go to bed at 8:30p (get up at 4am) I am beyond deliriously tired. #dfl

Nothing will make me switch from a supporter to uncommitted faster than shitty convention games. (Blocking the Mic, speeches when there out of order etc…) Don’t be an ass.

White bread, tomato paste, american cheese. It was a regular after school meal for us.

State Delegates: Madgett needs 50 people to second his nomination. Please discourage people around you from joining in the seconding - this man is not a DFLer, and does not reflect our values as a party. He loves Elon Musk, which is a red flag in any politician, much more so one who wants to be AG.

Woke up dreading the day. Most of our union will be at Khalid's Janazah. I will be at Convention. He was SO excited to be a delegate, so that is how I will honor him. But I'm not okay. Sharing two things...

"I'm just noticing that the 2 times you've been in here for an emergency appt, were the day after someone you knew was murdered by senseless gun violence. " Thanks for the note TMJ doc.

Statement from my staff union: Today we heard the terrible news about our brother and coworker Khalid Abdi was shot and killed while he was celebrating Eide al-Ahda this morning. This news is shocking for our MACE siblings.

My prayers are with everyone mourning after the shooting in Canterbury Park. Today, our Muslim neighbors are celebrating Eid al-Adha. All our communities should be able to worship and celebrate in safety, dignity, and peace.

I said hello to this kitty and bent down to pet it. In case you’re wondering how tired I am trying to get 200+ candidates screened for endorsement and state convention this weekend.

Holy shit www.youtube.com/live/5hs_PpC...

Minneapolis police chief Brian O’Hara resigns after receiving notice of disciplinary action from Mayor Frey.

Arguing that this is not the time or place for supporting our trans friends and family because it is "not within the purview"? WTF.

WOW

Just because a clear-cut diagnosis is hard to come by or doesn't yet exist for your condition doesn't mean you're not truly suffering from it right now. 🖤💙😷🥄

UGH. I have to be off my antihistamines for a while before my nut allergy test. This is going to be miserable!!

This sort of thing is so evil that it made morgan freeman temporarily quit working for Batman in ethical protest.

Memorial Day traffic is INSANE. Line of cars trying to get INTO costco was backed up to the highway. Line to get onto 35N from 94 was backed up to White Bear Ave I just wanted to get home from work.

Former northern Minnesota DFL party official pleads guilty to vehicular homicide.

I’m sick of fellow queers running on their LGBT identity and then throwing our trans fam under the bus.

WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK!?!?!?!?

Welp. I think I'm allergic to almond milk. UGH.

seeing a flyer to protest the DFL state convention that says "RELEASE THE 2024 AUTOPSY!" 💀 the DFL is not the DNC people

I'm loving every second of his joy.

The Minnesota House just adjourned for the year, and it ended with every Republican voting against bills to keep our communities safe from gun violence and hold ICE accountable. After the year our state has had, the GOP voted no. This session may be over, but our fight for Minnesotans is not.

Anyone else going to Smeltfest tomorrow?

Shout-out to @quentinocama.bsky.social for a great De-escalation training yesterday. If you're a state delegate, I hope you were able to join one of the trainings.

There's about 48 hours left to pass bills this session, and this is what Minnesota Republicans are doing

I don't typically look at my junk email at work. We have a system that weeds out junk before it even gets to my inbox. But I was looking for a specific email. Y'ALL...My junk email is nothing but HUNDREDS of emails from @schumer.senate.gov 😂 Nothing else.

It’s hilarious that a small tax cut on expensive cars was the number one priority of republicans. What a bunch of out of touch losers

HAPPENING NOW: After ten days of House Republicans blocking and hiding a comprehensive gun violence prevention bill — and after 260 days since the tragic mass shooting at Annunciation church — we're demanding the GOP listen to Minnesotans and allow a vote on the House floor.

People on the ground everyday are saying that just in these first 13 days of May there’s been more ICE activity than there was all of April. We don’t know what this means exactly, but this is why we need to make sure we’re still connected to our neighborhood networks and looking out for each other.

There is a mid-morning bonus awoooo at the hotel this morning!
