Speechless. Absolutely devastated. RIP

What's more is that last night, Richard commented that his goal in the challenge proceedings was "preserve as many of the endorsements as possible," which @amyslivingston.bsky.social pointed out, demonstrates that it was not a matter of whether the challenges had merit, but instead backroom dealing.

Trans, nonbinary, questioning people: you are loved, full stop. The world is cruel, and maybe you don't know anybody who supports you, but there are people out there who do. There is joy waiting for you. ❤️❤️

TL/DR: St Paul needs more separated/protected bike lanes. A morning bike ride in two parts. 1-An enjoyable ride on separated lanes of the Capital City Bikeway. Safe, easy biking & happy greetings between other bikers and pedestrians on the adjacent sidewalks. 2-News to me-we’re no longer people 1/3

The entire party is shielding her from any and all accountability. But I’m the villain cause I keep bringing it up. Why can’t I just be quiet and “go along to get along”. I’m the problem for speaking out. So leadership hates me. The DFL has an ethics & integrity problem and I’m not gonna shut up.

The DFL is a shitshow and I'm dedicated to doing my part in fixing it over the next year because if they don't get their shit together, we are going to lose and my life and home in Minnesota will be at risk. If you're mad about this shit like me, help me out with this organizing effort.

DFL Chair Richard Carlbom needs to adjust his approach to leading the party, or else he risks the possibility of a republican winning a statewide race in MN for the first time in twenty years

You look for cracks everywhere to exploit against fascists. Period. I think some people seem confused about the state of things in this country.

The value of reading history is you know that in 1860 there were abolitionists who were so demoralized that they thought chattel slavery would be permanent. 5 years later those still alive had lived to see its end.

Btw, if you survived shit, you don’t need to follow the drip, drip in order to be an informed, responsible citizen - contrary to some hot takes over the last few hours

SO COOL. All from St Paul, no filters or adjustments made.

The northern lights are SO gorgeous! And visible from Saint Paul proper right now.

Alderman Sigcho-Lopez was right to call out Pritzker today about the state police arresting protesters. Pritzker responded that the state police are protecting protesters, and that just isn't true. State cops have arrested and brutalized protesters to facilitate ICE operations. That's reality.

I reached out to federal delegation to get some answers on this project. It’s a surprise and a very unwelcome one. No home for ICE and CBP in Saint Paul.

The reason why I'm so angry has a lot to do with the lives that will be lost — people are absolutely going to die as a direct result of Senate Democrats folding on health care. It also has a lot to do with the suffering that was endured — people were struggling to get by without food assistance. 🧵

I received this email about Democrats caving to end the shutdown from one of the SNAP recipients I spoke to:

The right cannot be "fixed." It must be defeated. The same is true of Dems like Schumer. They cannot be cajoled into serving a better set of interests. They are constitutionally incapable, and what's more, they don't want to. We aren't part of their priority set.

The 1930s taught us what appeasement gets you: a stronger enemy and a weaker democracy. Some of today’s Dems still haven’t learned it. You don’t bargain with extremists holding people’s livelihoods hostage. You hold the damn line. #HistoryRepeats thehill.com/homenews/sen...

I know quite a few comrades on the ACA exchange. I used to be on the exchange for years. A doubling or tripling of premium costs will be a death sentence for people who NEED HEALTH INSURANCE to survive. PERIOD. We've heard Democrats say as much for WEEKS. So what the hell??????

This is a very good sign about his understanding of what good governance involves

CONFIRMED: Georgia Democrats have won their first statewide elections for non-federal offices since *2006.* The two Dem challengers, Alicia Johnson and Peter Hubbard, have ousted two GOP Republican commissioners on the state's utility commission.

It hasn't sunk in to folks yet how truly remarkable it is that Mamdani won. It's absolutely incredible.

There are more of us than there are of them.

Big day at U.S. District Court in D.C. where Sean Dunn, the D.C. Sandwich Guy, is on trial for misdemeanor assault of a federal officer. Border Patrol agent Gregory Lairmore is on the stand narrating surveillance video of the sammie toss. 'Now he’s struck me with the sandwich,' Lairmore says.

It's publication day for Read This When Things Fall Apart! So grateful to our contributors and to @akpress.org for making this book a reality. This is a strange time to be promoting a book, but I believe it's a text that has the potential to help us right now. Please get yourself a copy. ❤️

They are destroying what SHE built. #TeenVogue

thank you for all the support; the statement from our union is now live here with some more reporting. now that this is public I can confirm that the majority of today’s layoffs were women of color. there are no longer any Black women working at Teen Vogue.

If you’re in the Edgewater/Rogers Park area, we need people with their whistles on visibly out on patrol. Even if it’s just a walk on your lunch break or while you walk your dog, it matters. This is an all hands on deck day. Whatever you can do. ICE is heavily present in the area. Hope I see you.

Out on patrol. ICE very active on the far North Side including Edgewater and Lincoln Square. Multiple abductions. Vulnerable folks should get off the street if they can. Street vendors should be bought out, landscapers warned. If you’re in Chicago and you’re not ICE watch trained, pls get trained.

Neighbors! Have you been hoping to run your own whistle training in your neighborhood or on your block?! A group of organizers has set up a resource website, including links to the scenarios the Mpls trainings have used. If you’re running trainings and needs whistles, DM us! bit.ly/mnresponse

Thanks to everyone who came out today!

Come out today (Saturday!) at 2pm St Paul!

South Minneapolis! Here’s another chance for this weekend.

Saint Paul, come get a whistle, practice, and map community defense and care! 🧵1/2

Here’s an adaptation of Pilsen’s combined English/Spanish whistle zine that I edited in order to add Monarca’s Rapid Response phone number. You should be able to download it without any account or log in required. It’s a one page PDF that you fold-no cutting needed. drive.proton.me/urls/T1DMRKM...

We’re aware ICE and other federal agents are in the Twin Cities ahead of Kristi Noem’s speech today. Though we’re not aware of planned enforcement activity, I share your concerns. Reminder SPPD will not participate in immigration enforcement. Know your rights: stpaul.gov/immigration-resources

Regular reminder that “not taking a position” on the Summit Trail in fact IS taking a position. It is opposing it. Projects either happen or they don’t. If you don’t support it you are saying you don’t want it to happen. www.startribune.com/summit-avenu...

South Minneapolis! Come get a whistle and get some practice in!

Here she is in April saying that bike, pedestrian, and transit improvements "penalize the majority of people who drive" to "cater to a small minority." Pure transportation resentment politics. Farthest thing from a bike advocate. www.youtube.com/watch?v=sEGj...

St. Paul! We've finally got an annoying Attack PAC in our election called Saint Paul Future Forward working for Rep Kaohly Her's mayoral bid. Names attached are Haley Cobb and Chris Haas who I vaguely remember from my time in Walz-land and state stuff. assets.ramseycountymn.gov/files/2025-1...

Israel isn’t “testing” the ceasefire with strikes. It’s violating the ceasefire

Why did Jacob Frey delete his electronic communications from the day that MPD collaborated with an ICE action on Lake St in Minneapolis? What did he say? What did he learn? What did he direct? Our public officials should not be destroying the official records of their actions.

🧊 spotted in south minneapolis

Unlawfully fired from your job at HHS or CDC protecting the public health? Want to talk through how to tell your story in the press? I'm happy to help you think through messaging strategy. I’ve spent years doing public health comms and talking with reporters. You can see my work at matthewcort.land

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion. As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

This is not okay. Everyone should be standing against the intense islamophobia and anti Somali hate we are seeing in our city. Please speak out and stand against the fomenting of hate. Thanks CP & Senator for taking action.
