TCDSA made a huge level up this year. This organization can be messy, but is becoming something powerful. If you're on the fence of jumping in, with Trump in the Whitehouse and Frey in city hall, we need organized working class solidarity now more than ever.

When Twin Cities DSA members voted to endorse @OmarFatehMN.com for mayor, we knew the task before us would be hard. Landlords, Wall Street developers & corporations like Lyft poured millions of dollars into this election to spread racist, Islamophobic lies to protect their profits.

my life in ward 7 has been 13 years of lisa goodman, 2 years of katie cashman, next up: 4 years of something worse than goodman: elizabeth shaffer fuck it. i have no plans to leave this ward so i joined DSA lmao. RADICALIZED

From a St Paul Dept of Safety and Inspections email: construction permit for a new $11m CBP building construction permit at 670 Bayfield Street next to the downtown StP airport. Note location right near the runways. "Great" place to deport from! @mollycoleman.bsky.social @melvincarter.bsky.social

Why is DSA Divided? In the New Liberator, Groundwork member Ben Davis argues that DSA's ideological splits reflect our divided political terrain, responding to Tom Goodkind's analysis of the 2025 DSA Convention: “Can We Meet the Moment?”

Zero reporting on the flood of McDonalds money--including a franchise owner under consent decree for sexual assault of a 14 year old--going to Frey. Zero reporting on the Trump money. Zero reporting on Frey's ties to Feeding Our Future. Zero reporting on ICE praising O'Hara's actions on June 3rd.

@ericroper.bsky.social brushing over the role media played in propping up Frey. Where was the media condemnation of the deeply racist snake oil attack ads on Robin or the AOM flyers that darkened Fateh's skin? Why did no one care about Frey deleting his texts and voicemails when ICE was in town?

One of the standout stories of this election was the amazing reporting by @taylordahlin.com. Everyone should check out Taylor's blog at taylordahlin.com. If someone has a link to a patreon or something I'd like to chip in a few bucks now that campaign season is over.

Agree with everything Ryan wrote in this thread. During GOTV, Fateh knocked 80k doors and our IE table knocked 20k doors. Top notch field and political staff, unprecedented partnerships with Council and Park campaigns and a motivated volunteer base driven by DSA pushed Frey and his $$ to the brink.

Day-old take on both Mpls & StP mayoral elections is that due to neither race having a formal DFL endorsement (for admittedly vastly different reasons) it allowed many folks to start making too-clever calculations about who to support & how, rather than simply getting on program with a plan to win.

2025mplsresults.dreamhosters.com Y'all check out this map from @aidan4progress.bsky.social

Jason's team crushed it this year, and I don't think any council candidate in the city knocked as many doors as @jchavezmpls.bsky.social. Absolute legend.

I am so proud of the work we have done on the campaign trail, and incredibly grateful for all the relationships we built along the way. Together, we set a new standard for park board campaigns and political campaigning city-wide.

This election restored my confidence that left populist messaging and field campaigning is the way to go. The biggest through line I see in the results so far is that @twincitiesdsa.org crushed this campaign with our four council candidates. So, what are you waiting for? act.dsausa.org/s/2670.WNjUMj

As written

a MASSIVE!!!!!!! moment for Robin’s amazing (22 YEAR OLD) campaign manager and my greatest gift @katieesb.bsky.social who ran a fucking incredible first campaign. She graduated LITERALLY last spring and stepped into this role like a complete boss. This is us post-testifying against J*hn Wall 🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷

Abolish ICE is the moderate position.

Conservatives in Minneapolis are funded by republican donors, don't buy those "pragmatic progressive" taglines

here is steve minn telling jewish insider in may that he voted for donald trump three times. his company lupe gave $30k to safer hennepin. he also maxed out to jacob frey, shelley madore, michael rainville, josh bassais, tim peterson, and paula chesley this year

certain Minneapolis non-dsa progressives have gotten really turned around about Rent Control as some kind of radical policy that stops building. Its just one more form of tenant protections against greedy landlords.

No nightmares allowed if you aren't signed up for GOTV shifts for your favorite challenger and reaching deep into your contacts to talk to them about the election.

If you're dooming and glooming thinking of a third Frey term, I have good news for you: theres still time to knock some doors! Knock with Fateh's campaign www.mobilize.us/omarfatehfor... And TCDSA actionnetwork.org/forms/twin-c.... And track down your Minneapolis friends too! No regrets on E-day!

For Power Map, I write about the necessity of local governments to prosecute ICE agents, both to stand with immigrants and to safeguard democracy.

When people come at me angrily about the mayoral candidate with connections to shit characters and dirty low down fraudsters, I tell them I'm sorry, I'll never rank Frey again. www.startribune.com/charges-ex-c...

My latest article. This one on the movement to defend and expand democracy and Reconstruction: www.groundworkdsa.com/building-up/...

“The contortions they appear to be prepared to go through to circumvent the spirit of the (law’s) presumption of openness are astounding,” Jane Kirtley, professor of law and media ethics at the University of Minnesota, said.

Davis Moturi was nearly killed last year when his neighbor shot Mr. Moturi in his front yard. Prior to being shot, he called MPD repeatedly and said he feared for his life and needed help. He identified his neighbor as a threat and told MPD of the regular violence he was experiencing from next door.

Man this is so cool. I am the perfect target audience for this event lmao.

Democratic establishment types will rant and rave about the left "distracting" from the fight against republicans and then spend millions of dollars in primaries attempting to squash charismatic candidates running on popular platforms.

"We can show up on the streets and declare that to fight fascism, we must build socialism." Groundwork member Marianne from Maine DSA wrote about the importance of DSA members showing up to No Kings rallies on the 18th. Read the article on our website: www.groundworkdsa.com/building-up

Minneapolis deserves a champion for working people. This is our opportunity to build a city where every single resident can thrive. I can’t wait to cast my ballot for my friend and colleague, Omar Fateh, as my first choice for mayor by November 4th, and I hope you will join me.

I’m so excited to have my Congresswoman and friend, @ilhanmn.bsky.social, on board with my candidacy for Mayor! She fights hard for the working people of Minneapolis. As Mayor, I’ll partner with leaders like her to build an affordable city that's accountable to us. secure.actblue.com/donate/fateh...

“Opposing the DSA agenda and all that it entails is vital to the future of our city,” All of Mpls Chair Karin Birkeland wrote in a recent newsletter. Frey aligned PACs plan to spend millions because they hate progressives have disrupted business as usual at City Hall.

I was honored to represent Robin Wonsley and Michael Wilson. I admire them for their commitment to the hard, necessary work ahead of us and required of us. I got fired from a good job for taking this case, and yet I wouldn't change a thing. Thank you, Robin and Michael, for fighting for Minneapolis.
