While Joaquin Castro was doing this, Klobuchar was posting about the price of coffee going up 15%

So help me if Walz or Klobuchar or Smith show up for a photo op after Liam’s father lands I will lose my shit. THEY DID NOTHING

I really can’t express how disgustingly out-of-touch this is, @amyklobuchar.com @klobuchar.senate.gov. Who is this for? We don’t grow coffee beans in MN. But we *do* grow a lot of soybeans. And farmers are ending their lives over the losses they experienced this past year. You HAVE to do better.

Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning. Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

Thank you to everyone who demanded freedom for Liam. We won’t stop until all children and families are home.

This person is running for Governor of the state Trump has turned into the Purge and is posting about coffee prices. DC brained fool who needs to fucking quit.

No need to imagine. The country incarcerates children as young as 9 years old daily in youth prisons and jails. Those children are routinely sexually and physically assaulted and also emotionally tortured. They are fed terrible food and given barely any education. This country has done this for yrs.

If there’s one thing we’re all talking about in Minnesota, it’s coffee prices. You can barely walk down the street without someone shrieking, “nearly fifteen percent!”

this land is Minnesota strong ❤️ this land was made for you and me 🎵 #MinnesotaStrong #ICEout

If 26 Americans or Israelis or Germans were murdered today, it would be the top headline on every network. They keep telling you “the war is over” while this happens, because their idea of a peaceful, “normal” order is one where Israel gets to mass murder Palestinians at will.

Absolutely insane Biden and Harris had the Epstein files during an election where republicans were demanding their release, knew that it included Trump.. and just sat on it because it also included other people on their side. Which is the side of rich people. This is why corpos will never save us.

we're clearly seeing right now how the lack of organized political opposition is hurting us. there's organized opposition on the ground, as we've seen in minneapolis. but where this opposition should find a political articulation, typically rhrough an opposition party, that just doesn't happen.

1/4 of students in a rural Minnesota town aren’t going to school

once again ran across a story about liam ramos and once again want to put my head through a window.

This is a time for solidarity between the Twin Cities and Greater Minnesota.

“The AP interviewed a doctor and five nurses who work at HCMC, who spoke on condition of anonymity to talk about Castañeda Mondragón’s case. AP also consulted with an outside physician, and they all affirmed that his injuries were inconsistent with an accidental fall or running into a wall.”

“At least 31 Palestinians, including at least six children, have been killed in Israeli attacks on Gaza City and Khan Younis in the Gaza Strip since dawn, according to medical sources speaking to Al Jazeera.” www.aljazeera.com/news/liveblo...

Amy has run on a child/family-forward platform every election cycle. This is currently on her “Issues” page. I don’t want her to be at a First Ave concert with Bruce. I want her to get these kids home!

@amyklobuchar.com why is he doing this and not you? Why are you not helping?

With alt text

She should get a couple of buses. Some of the kids have been detained for months. apnews.com/article/immi...

I will never understand how people who hate seeing animals in shelters, are more than okay with children being put in cages.

Amy feels she's entitled to win because she has a D after her name but she still has to earn my vote. This suggestion is one way to do it.

She gives off such “Pokémon Go to the polls” vibes. 😒

I’m about to drive to Dilley and yank those children out of there with my bare hands; this is egregious.

Like I said, if Amy wants my vote, she’s driving to Texas and she’s coming back with Liam.

the absolute queen of not reading the room 👑 go girl, give us nothing

Amy Klobuchar should not be the next governor of Minnesota. Full stop. And the people of Minnesota know this and I don’t think they should be underestimated. And now I’m returning my attention back to the material reality the people are experiencing that Amy Klobuchar is unwilling to face.

I won't be running for Governor, BUT SOMEONE ELSE HAS TO

I won’t caucus for Amy. Erin Maye Quade seems to be the name being put forth by Twin Cities anti-centrist voters. I don’t think EMQ has name or policy recognition in my rural caucus. I wish we had options. I wish Dems had strategies beyond “Now it’s this person’s turn to get promoted.”

If everything is everything, then nothing is anything. I think that we have different words and concepts for a reason. It's not gatekeeping to expect clarity.

Boycotts are necessary! Big protests are necessary! Economic blackouts are necessary! Workers calling out sick or taking time off to support these causes is necessary! Mutual aid is BEYOND necessary! But they are not strikes.

Man, I saw a take that was like, “ICE is doing an ethnic cleansing” (correct), followed by “we’re not terrified,” and like… did you not notice way fewer non-white people out and about or

This brown Minnesotan is here to tell you that this is the whitest take. I am fucking terrorized.

My second letter to the editor was published today in the weekly paper for my rural MN county. Write letters to the editor! Editors, readers, and our electeds (and candidates) need to know what we care about.

Attended a “get ready to caucus” DFL meeting tonight, and we met a newly out queer person who lives in our rural small town, too! 🥹 So many fellow first-timers to a meeting like this. People are finding each other. Building mutual aid networks. Things are shifting.

I think it’s peaceful resistance to kick a tail light out.

I keep thinking of how the first term laid a lot of groundwork for this one. Imagine if we don’t stop it this time. Imagine if he dies in office and Vance plows ahead with Project 2025, sans a senile old man’s daily passing fancies to distract from the objectives.

Incredible. Millions are newly-mobilized, questioning how their taxes are being used to hurt their neighbors. Republicans are in a terrible position. Democrats have huge leverage. And they may just go ahead and give DHS more money — as long as they slap on a few rules DHS is already not following.

Sen Klob on Pod Save also talking about training and body cams and jfc what are they talking about?! These guys had cameras. They were VETERAN agents.

Essential writing. Essential reading. What a gift Kai Kalia Yang is to the world.

Can’t wait to watch our elected MN Dems negotiate with Nazis this week. 🙄

What is a centrist? Most people will tell you 2+2=4. Donald Trump will tell you 2+2=6. So the centrist insists that 2+2=5. Trump gives ICE a free hand to murder with impunity. Millions of people conclude that ICE must be abolished. And the centrists? Watch closely what they do next in Minnesota.

Y’all want division to be THE problem because you don’t want to deal with the racists. Specifically the ones you know, love, and admire. Especially the one in your own heart. Unfortunately, that commitment to an only sometimes soothing delusion is powerful enough to break a nation.

Delays… forever? 🤞

One thing we’re going to do on the other side of this is fight for our trans homies. We will not let the dfl and democrats abandon them. Ten toes down. 🏳️‍⚧️

No one liked my post, but my teens think I’m cool for this one. That’s all the affirmation I need.

“Greg Bovino” but to the tune of “Despacito”

The problem with symbolic compliance isn’t just that they fall short of ending violence. It’s also that people duped by the symbols will switch sides to defend the oppressor, emboldening them to become more violent and violate more civil rights than before.
