The "residential protesting" bill is being sold as a response to protesters targeting the homes of specific people, despite its very broad language. But I had fun watching DFL reps gently poke at Walter Hudson for half an hour until he admitted his problem is with protesting in general.

Update on this - still running, and today I'm pleased to announce my running mate. Deb Ford has been SD61 DFL Treasurer for the past nine years. She's been one of the driving forces behind SD61, and was the mastermind behind the "Taste the Trifecta" cookbook fundraiser. (1/3)

The ICE surge in Minnesota isn’t over — it just moved outside of the Metro. ICE agents are still terrorizing innocent people in the suburbs. They’re targeting bus stops and hospitals and parks and being more deceptive than ever. This isn’t over until ICE is out of the ENTIRE state.

happening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.

"MPR News has learned that the police chief in the small southern Minnesota city of St. Peter intervened Thursday afternoon to prevent federal immigration agents from arresting a local resident" who had been observing federal agents. www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

Alex from our time working together, while he was in nursing school. Later, he moved to ICU, working as a nurse to support critically ill Veterans. He had such a great attitude. We’d chat between patients about trying to get in a mountain bike ride together. Will never happen now

Let's be clear: ICE is not just causing chaos in Minnesota's metro area. From Fergus Falls to Rochester to Mankato, ICE is terrorizing communities all across the state. Our whole state will be safer and better off once ICE gets out.

Proud to stand w/ @usprogressives.bsky.social leaders today to announce that we will oppose all funding for Trump’s DHS until there are significant reforms enacted to ensure what happened last week in Minneapolis never happens again. We will keep fighting for truth, accountability, and justice.

Leave our breweries alone.

Many lessons to take from Tuesday. I believe one should be that neither "side" is going away and we need to find a way to come together despite very real differences. No one is going to come and save us, it's hard work that Minneapolis DFLers are going to have to do ourselves.

Graphic kinda goes hard NGL

New Yorkers have spoken and voted for change. Congrats Mayor-elect @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social!

Up bright and early to vote this morning! Still feels a bit odd to fill in a bubble next to my name... Get out and vote for me and the rest of the DFL/Labor park baord slate! Also: voter #63 for 13-4 at 8am.

I just cast my vote – it was a run but very surreal experience to vote for myself for the first time. If you haven’t voted yet, please get out there before polls close today at 8 pm. Today we get to choose the Minneapolis we deserve. Find your polling place here: pollfinder.sos.mn.gov

Unbelievable: the Trump Administration is using the government shutdown to punish Minnesotans and raise our energy bills. The reckless cancelation of these projects is going to cost thousands of good-paying jobs and harm communities across the state.

Didn't Jacob Frey run his first mayoral race based on ending homelessness? All of us deserve better.

Kudos to the Strib’s Eric Roper for trying to make up for his own news org’s political desk by actually covering Dewayne Davis as a mayoral candidate in his own right. Davis’s positions aren’t all mine, but he has a real shot at bringing the city closer together. www.startribune.com/dewayne-davi...

I'm incredibly excited to announce that we've been endorsed by @ilhanmn.bsky.social!!! Having the support of one of our nations strongest progressive voices is deeply moving. Onward to November! Learn more and join Ilhan in supporting me here: www.olsenforparks.org

Representative Agabje has been one of the most steadfast and effective advocates for tenant's rights in the State House. Absolutely zero coincidence that's who the Mayor's allies target.

This Labor Day, I want to celebrate our city’s unions and to thank the workers that make our city run. We deserve a Mayor who will put people before profits every time. Happy Labor Day!

Thank you for voicing this, Chair Moller. www.startribune.com/annunciation...

Sharing some good news amidst all the bad. Wealthy corporations tried to sue to overturn Minnesota's nation-leading PFAS ban-and they lost.

I dare you to go to Annunciation School and tell our grieving community, in effect, guns don’t kill kids, antidepressants do. Just shut up. Stop peddling bullshit. You should be fired.

We are the only country on earth where children regularly get shot in school and people are shot in their place of worship. It *doesn’t* have to be this way. Gun violence in America is a policy choice and I’m ready to make a different one. Let’s end gun violence.

- Harry Truman, 1952

We deserve a city government that works for all of us—where decisions are made based on what’s right for the people of our city, not based on who is most loyal to the mayor. We deserve better.

It's so frustrating to me that the State DFL refused to help fund the City Convention, forcing organizers to do their best with what they had. And now the richest people in (and outside) Minneapolis are willing to throw their money around to try to invalidate that convention

Deeply deeply saddened to lose @cedrickfrazier.bsky.social in the #mnleg House. But he has a heart for justice like few I’ve ever seen. He is going to be a phenomenal Hennepin County Attorney.

The fact that a former party chair doesn't know who two of the most qualified parliamentarians in the state are should tell you something about how credible his opinions are on how the Minneapolis DFL operated at the convention.

Bees are feasting on marigolds in Lowry Hill.

I kinda assumed this was one of those posts that summarize answers in a unflattering way, but those are verbatim the first words that come out of his mouth for each answer.

A solar array atop Abbott Northwestern Hospital’s new parking ramp will come online later this year —bringing more than 180 households lower energy bills — despite Trump administration policies sunsetting solar tax credits while raising fossil fuel subsidies. minnesotareformer.com/2025/07/28/m...

The DFL endorsement never seemed as significant as when the people arguing for its meaninglessness are ready to fight fight fight to make sure they reverse the result.

Working the room.

Made me tear up in the stands of Target Center

I see so many people bringing customer service mindset to political organizations. These things are hard and imperfectly done. Your donations and time are the only things that can fix it. No amount of "Do better" is going to change the constraints.

One risk of desperately trying to get people to pay attention to your fraud committee is that someone might actually realize that the MNGOP doesn't have solutions to problems facing us, just performative hearings, blaming Dems, and justifying Trump's cuts

Appreciated this thoughtful response from a St. Paul schoolteacher in today's Strib. Hitting back on the ridiculous anti-universal school meals piece I read a while ago. Gift link: www.startribune.com/counterpoint...

NYT is doing a Top Films of the 21st Century List, here are my picks though there were some brutal cuts made to get a top 10

We love you, Melissa and Mark.

Absolutely devastating. Melissa Hortman deserved to enjoy the stronger, better, and kinder Minnesota she worked so hard to build. We will continue to benefit from the results of her bold leadership for decades to come, and we won't forget her legacy.

Of the 25 bills that #mnleg Rs introduced right out of the chute (HFs 1-25), exactly *two* of them are becoming law in any form. The vast majority got bogged down because they were so badly written that even their follow Rs couldn't save them. Not that it stopped them from wasting time trying...

Minnesota State Sen. Alice Mann (DFL-Edina) calls out the slashing of MinnesotaCare in the state budget: "There is no fiscal responsibility when you do this. When we take away people's health care, they end up in the emergency department. It costs more money for everyone in the community."

Grateful for the leadership of Rep. Frazier, Sen. Mann, and all the other members at the POCI Caucus presser today: youtu.be/iKhHZ0TMx_Q?...

Google is a $2,000,000,000,000 company, their CEO made $226,000,000 in 2022. They are lobbying for tax breaks paid for by you, the Minnesota taxpayer.

This is the sort of thing that can really help. I hope more institutions are doing this and I just haven't heard about it yet. www.mprnews.org/story/2025/0...
