Thank you for taking our feedback and correcting the record on this very important issue @dfl.org ❤️

Trans kids shouldn't have to hope they won the geography lottery when it comes to their ability to play sports. Trans kids should not be banned from sports. That's it.

It says something that in a conflict between the convenience of dog owners, and the rights of indigenous people to their own goddamn land, she chose the dogs.

learned from strib that dawanna witt's campaign manager is alex lewison, who was the deputy treasurer for rich stanek's campaign against dave hutchinson for hennepin county sheriff yet DFL delegates were told to endorse witt at convention to avoid a return to republican aka stanek era?

REMEMBERING KHALID ABDI Today should have been a festive and happy day for our Muslim neighbors celebrating Eid al-Adha. But Eid prayers became a site of horror and tragedy in Shakopee as we lost a dear friend and community member, Khalid Abdi, to gun violence. (1/4)

Please read and sign on to this open letter calling for the stepping down or removal of Latonya Reeves for malfeasance, per Article 7 of the DFL Constitution and Bylaws. SIGN HERE: forms.gle/UjsMCUrRWKKj...

The reality is that HCMC would have already closed, had the County Board not intervened last year. Now, it’s time for the legislature to act on the County’s proposed sales-tax solution for dedicated revenue for HCMC Do your part: CareForHCMC.org Learn more: HennepinD2.com/hcmc

In all of the chaos that we are currently living though, Stonewall DFL wants take a moment to recognize those putting on conventions around the State of Minnesota. We have heard of some conventions that have upwards of 80% of first time delegates, which is amazing!

Outside of the drab sanctuaries and interminable coffee hours of the Lutheran faith, not many know that one of the 95 Theses was actually "The Church has strayed too far from its liturgical mandate to Give Ilhan Omar a Gundam." It's been represented in many historical depictions of Luther's work

Angie Craig has no excuse for not helping with interpretation costs at DFL conventions. Small campaigns found ways to live our DFL values. I'm tired of high profile candidates who won't do it too. I'm glad Filipovich for state auditor helped too, but where are the other 3 candidates?

They’ve tried convincing us Scott Graham is good for the DFL. They’ve now abandoned that and tried convincing us Scott Graham is from Earth

When Nick Shirley, Lisa Demuth, and House Republicans attacked our Somali neighbors, we stood up. When reporters and activists were arrested, we stood up. When our immigrant neighbors were kidnapped, we stood up. When our partners in this work were murdered, we stood up. Why should we sit now?

I’m spending half of my weekend inside volunteering at a convention. Same goes for the next few weekends. It’s not because I love conventions. It’s because I love my friends, some of whom I haven’t seen in months due to ongoing ICE activity. I’d sit inside on a sunny day for them anyday.

"Doctors diagnose based on patterns that are consistent over time, how it affects daily life, and... use treatments to reduce suffering and improve quality of life." The same is true for depression and anxiety and other diagnoses. Treatment of gender dysphoria ought to be viewed the same.

when one of my enemies falls, another arises

Having the chair of our largest CD call a meeting to remove a SEC director elected at convention while having no way to credential and ensure votes are tallied while fascism breaks down our door is the shot. Doing this is front of the Secretary of State is the chaser.

the man in charge of our elections watching Scott Graham not confirm eligible voters before taking vote:

I find it pretty gross how consistently DFL “leaders” believe the rules are an inconvenience when they’re called on not following them

@jasoncomix.bsky.social and @christin612.bsky.social have done incredible work organizing this response to keep people fed while ICE is terrorizing our city. They are such assets to our community. Thank you to everyone who is helping our neighbors during this horrific time!

Can anyone believe that Homan (who was on video accepting a $50k bribe) or anyone in the Trump admin is negotiating in good faith? Minnesota (looking at you, Gov and Mpls Mayor) should take it's defense of the justice system seriously. We're the backstop to this fascist regime. Don't trust them.

strib covering the latest abduction by federal agents at the hennepin county government center today bsky.app/profile/matt...

Look how young the abductee looks. Do you see the sheriff deputies blocking observers? This is the behavior that our mayor and governor are negotiating to allow. To quote MLK, they are working towards a negative peace, not the presence of justice.

washington county republicans’ facebook post about anders folk speaking to them on 2/7. he is seeking DFL endorsement in running for hennepin county attorney

Minneapolis is still under siege. Homan is just quieter about it than Bovino. We still desperately need help, and resistance, and the abolition of ICE.

Where was Richard?! This behavior should have been addressed right away by the party chair with an immediate rebuke. And who's the DFL elected official who's booing Ilhan's team? She's getting attacked by Trump on the regular, how about we chill on the friendly fire, m'kay?

Personal Me: this is peak Angie Craig. Local businesses supporting our communities all over the Twin Cities, she picks a coffee chain where the union organizers are currently asking for support against union busting. Read the room, Angie.

Is he attempting Blue Steel? 🤣

Statement from Jacob Thomas with Common Defense:

I love that he's fully in support of a "first wave" approach of providing for parental economic needs, but also jumping into a "second wave". @mayor.nyc.gov embraces the fun & on-your-toes attitude that's required to make kids a chosen part of public spaces, instead of just an afterthought.

Correcting the record - thank you to @dfl.org for covering security costs. Sorry to be mistaken on that. Continued thanks to the senate district chairs in Mpls & St. Paul for their extensive work to put on caucuses & adapt and advocate for measures to make them more equitable & safe for all.

i am so proud of the way Minneapolis DFL sickos stepped up to plan, coordinate, and convene caucuses across our city tonight!! i am also so amazed at the number of neighbors caucusing for the first time & many, so many, who stepped up to be delegates. ily all so much 💙✊

a reporter asked “is mutual aid a form of resistance?” and i felt my body pulled into of a room of movement elders who have made this seem like a question i don’t have to think about to respond of course of course mutual aid is an expression of love love is an act of resistance

ilhan braver with her bare hands than an ICE goon with a gun

I’m ok. I’m a survivor so this small agitator isn’t going to intimidate me from doing my work. I don’t let bullies win. Grateful to my incredible constituents who rallied behind me. Minnesota strong.

I've been a fan since her days in the legislature, but tonight I'm an even bigger one. She was about the punch the guy. I wish ppl knew she's not the one to fuck with!

61% of Americans think ICE is out of control, needs to go away. But sure, let's let them keep doing their thing. Why won't elected Democrats seize the moment and abolish ICE? Defund ICE? Their constituents want it. We need our elected representatives to join us. P.S. DHS won't do any of this.

This announcement made me literally gasp and cry and shout! I've known Christin for years, and she is a genuine organizer, showing up where needed, never caring about credit or power, just doing the work so that others can thrive. I can't think of anyone better for Minneapolis Schools. 🦀🌳🦀🌳🦀🌳🦀🌳🦀🌳

I have heard from SO many constituents who are concerned about their safety, and their neighbors’ safety, on caucus night. @dfl.org MUST have contactless caucuses to ensure safe and fair representation.

Be safe out there And DON’T USE YOUR REAL NAME ON SIGNAL

Kare 11 local news just read, in full, this statement from Michael and Susan Pretti, the parents of Alex Pretti. "Please get the truth out about our son."

Truly appreciate your willingness! My point is that we *shouldn’t* use patrollers for in-person caucuses that can easily be handled virtually

Yes! And knowing this, our patrol networks will do their level best to secure caucus locations, which will leave *everybody else* more vulnerable to ICE!

ICE has shown up at schools, bus stops, made fake food aid flyers, and used a 5yo as bait to opportunistically beat up, tear-gas, and abduct neighbors and observers. @dfl.org and @rcarlbom.bsky.social what makes you think they * wouldn't * use our caucuses as a way to terrorize and detain DFLers?

i am the chair of @sd60dfl.bsky.social, myself, our ex committee & the leadership of SD62 & SD63 have spent 100s of hrs attempting to make Feb 3 caucuses equitable by encouraging @dfl.org to prioritize nonattendee delegates sheltering in place. this is not enough. feb 3 caucuses MUST be virtual.

My spouse and I have been communicating hard topics by spelling the words we don't want our 7yo and 5yo to hear. But our 7yo has gotten better at spelling, so we need bigger words now. Didn't plan on reeling off the letters to A-S-S-A-S-S-I-N-A-T-E today, like a fucked up dystopian spelling bee.

submitted to me: a photo of a border patrol agent retching and spitting after they gassed themselves by mueller park in minneapolis yesterday

BREAKING: A Minneapolis Speedway gas station just kicked slimeball Border Commander Greg Bovino out of their business. "We do NOT support ICE, get off of our property" This is what democracy looks like!

Charlie is a high school student. His classmates have been staying home out of fear. I hope the @dfl.org Party realizes that contactless caucuses are necessary for us in the metro. These are not normal times.

Sorry folks haven’t been super nice to you. I haven’t seen 3 students in my homeroom for a week and a half and have no clue how they’re doing. We’ve got bigger fish to fry here in Minnesota.

The @dfl.org Party not having a plan for contactless caucuses will literally distort the vote. The DFL claims to be representative of ALL communities, but Richard Carlbom's decisions, or lack thereof, prove otherwise. How is he going to prove that caucuses actually represent the will of the party?
