Rep. Adelita Grijalva said she was pepper-sprayed and pushed around during an ICE raid in Tucson, Arizona, a claim that the Department of Homeland Security swiftly disputed.

We won’t be silent or complicit. We stand with the Somali community here in Minneapolis.

Now that there’s a big crowd of responders I’m headed home. My summary is this: I don’t *think * it’s an ICE raid per se, but an HSI, DEA, FBI operation executing a warrant. Which is not to say people shouldn’t mobilize and get out on the streets. About 20 cars worth of agents, half of them masked.

About 30 cars of ICE and DEA agents staging st Newell park in St. Paul

JUST IN: "Newly Elected Minneapolis Council Members Pledge Collaboration at City Hall" newly elected pearll warren, elizabeth shaffer, soren stevenson, and jamison whiting have released a statement pledging to build "a more collaborative, respectful, and effective culture at City Hall." (1/2)

Some Minneapolis City Council news: Incoming City Council Members Stevenson, Warren, Whiting, and Shaffer have released a joint letter pledging to build a more collaborative culture at City Hall.

U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders has endorsed Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan in the race for Minnesota’s open Senate seat.

Republicans haven’t given us a single reason to believe they will allow a vote on extending ACA subsidies. Senate Democrats should NOT take this deal.

Today and tomorrow we wish a beautiful and meaningful Day of the Dead (Día De Los Muertos) to all who are celebrating in Minnesota. We remember and honor those who have left us and who will return home in spirit. 🕯️

Hennepin Avenue is officially open! Mayor Jacob Frey, council members Aisha Chughtai and Katie Cashman, public works staff, and small business owners were in attendance. Cars are now moving freely on the street.

the first cars are driving on hennepin ave. @rudyfunkmeyer.bsky.social pointed out they should’ve had the mayor or someone driving the first car for a photo op

Election Day is in one week. I voted for @katiecashman.bsky.social because we don’t need a C-Suite defender on the Council. rudyfunkmeyer.medium.com/no-the-c-sui...

Last night, MN AG Keith Ellison launched his re-election campaign for a third term. The event was well-attended, and included multiple state legislators, labor, farm, and public health leaders, as well as Governor Tim Walz.

Minneapolis is showing up and showing out. #NoKings

Senator Tina Smith and AG Keith Ellison at #NoKings in Minneapolis today.

As Minnesotans gather today to protest the Trump Administration, we remind you: America has no king.

Girl idk how @taylordahlin.com posts on two platforms at once I can barely handle live tweeting 💀😭

Fact check: she said Martin Luther Jr.

For the last several months, the Ward 11 race has been slowly evolving into an episode of COPS, now you know why! A very angry man has been harassing the Jamison Whiting campaign by stealing signs across the Ward. Please pitch in if you can to help replace them!

one day the ward 11 story will be told, but @rudyfunkmeyer.bsky.social is so accurate

G’mar chatima tovah to all who are observing Yom Kippur today. May this new year be one of strength, prosperity, and joy for you and your loved ones.

Bahahaha what a weak-willed and spineless man. New York is better off without Eric Adams.

Thank you to the CD8 DFL for hosting another outstanding Oberstar Dinner!

I’m in Hackensack, Minnesota this weekend for their annual Chainsaw Festival—a three-day event that includes competitive carving, auctions, and lumberjack shows!

Happy first day of early voting Minneapolis! I was the fourth person in the city to cast a ballot. I proudly voted for a slate of candidates that I believe will make Minneapolis a better, stronger city. ⬇️

oh this is so good

I wrote an article about the Ward 7 race in Minneapolis—specifically about the forum last night. Check it out here: rudyfunkmeyer.medium.com/minneapolis-...

It’s just really quite sad to see such flagrant distaste for the working class in this city. It breaks my heart.

that’s the goal - “looks so much better with no buses and a bunch of rich people who work in commercial real estate dining in the street with all the poor transit users pushed away”

My president.

this isn’t about minnesota. very misleading to pretend so when every photo is of minneapolis. the website is very vague and ominous. it’s apparently by rick kupchella

anyone see this documentary “a precarious state”? claims to be about minnesota but actually seems to be about minneapolis and judging by cast of characters, it’s about influencing the election this fall - jim rubin was part of the we love mpls slideshow precariousstate.com

JD Vance has arrived at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis. Protestors chanted “shame” and “enough is enough” as the motorcade passed through.

There’s an individual in MPLS who is insistent that they are the sole person who knows how to organize despite ruining everything they touch & it drives me up a wall

Steve Simon I know you hear me banging on your door… POST THE STP W4 RESULTS

Some idiot(s) fired off ~10 shots last night on my block. Thankfully no one was hurt and none of the nearby homes got hit. Police were on scene for hours collecting evidence but I doubt it’ll lead to anything. In my lifetime, it would be nice to see our country finally do something about guns.

Insane levels of aura in this picture taken by yours truly 🤗🤗 The future of the DFL & Minneapolis indeed.

summer weekend hours at dunn bros in loring park, now open friday, saturday and sunday until 7pm!

taylr for @dewayneforminneapolis.com 🫡

File-a-palooza today at the Minneapolis Elections Office! Here’s a thread on everyone who filed. For Mayor: @dewayneforminneapolis.com filed!

So much of the opposition to the current makeup of the Minneapolis City Council is rooted around what this council does best — they advocate for poor and marginalized people.

Crazy how Will just can’t bring himself to admit that the Mayor has a role in the failure of uptown. Wonder why.

highly recommend all young DFLers vote for rudy! i think he does some of the best comms work around local politics from his time with ilhan omar last year to multiple campaigns this year, i am always impressed by what he creates
