“why are you doing this work?” asked the DFL, giving out heart shaped post it notes “angie craig is funded by billionaires,” responds one delegate

thank you DFL for holding your convention in DORITO NATION, home of “do weed”!

not as easy as you think it is to run electronic voting at a convention is it, minnesota DFL? love, minneapolis (we are all manually registering AGAIN before we can redo the first auditor ballot) @jasoncomix.bsky.social @mikeylightsit.bsky.social

tina smith donuts are gone at the DFL state convention. we still have to do the first auditor ballot again feels like we’re gonna repeat last night all over again

WE ARE HAVING TO REDO THE FIRST AUDITOR BALLOT DUE TO MORE ELECTRONIC VOTING ISSUES

* GOD * DAMN IT

peggy flanagan is meeting a service dog wearing a “team peggy” bandana at the DFL convention flanagan will be endorsed for US senate from minnesota after angie craig dropped from the process days ago

Minnesota GOP convention just voted to stand for and hold a moment of silence for… killer cop Derek Chauvin. Can’t make this up.

rochester police outside the mayo civic center where DFL convention is taking place. i assume amy klobuchar sent this to arrest all of cd5

erik sahlin will be running for the senate seat vacated by amy klobuchar in the special election and is outside the DFL convention in rochester campaigning with his “pro america, anti billionaire” lit he pronounces his surname the correct, swedish way like mine too!

not the DFL delegate swag bags at the convention still having buttons with angie craig’s face on them even after she dropped from seeking endorsement against peggy flanagan and is slamming the party’s process

I hate to be like this, but Monarca is not some scrappy leftist collective. They're Unidos, a 19 y/o nonprofit that's had wandering missions and allegiances over the yrs. Monarca did vital, powerful work training observers and coordinating community response to ICE. They're also run by center libs.

amy klobuchar is DFL endorsed for minnesota governor on first ballot!

VOTING IRREGULARITIES… isn’t this why omar fateh lost his endorsement at the minneapolis DFL convention? but now state having issues with election buddy…

MONARCA delegates are now at the mic at the state DFL convention, asking if they can give speeches in favor of a candidate, likely amy klobuchar as keith ellison was speaking to the delegation just before this

Kobey lost multiple potential votes around me when not promising to follow the will of the endorsement. If it’s close, wonder if that decision will be a big regret.

bleak times at the state DFL convention. it’s nearly 11pm, we still have Q&A for governor between kobey layne and amy klobuchar and every single pop machine in the mayo civic center is sold out

amy klobuchar should be scared at the level of support for kobey layne among delegates at the DFL convention as they both run for the endorsement for minnesota governor

a delegate is yelling that the blinking light sticks the amy klobuchar campaign is handing out at the DFL convention are a seizure risk

"Let's LFG"

sd55 have an empty chair at the table at the DFL convention in memory of khalid abdi, a 26 year old union member and community leader who was killed outside canterbury park this week after eid services. they are taking donations for his pregnant window www.launchgood.com/v4/campaign/...

Did Hoffman make a jab at Angie when he spoke about engaging instead of withdrawing lmao

Skimmed the DFL convention program book (which must have surely been put together, approved, and sent to print many, many days before today). I don't think a picture of Angie appears even once. Ilhan, Kelly, Tim, Amy, Mondale, Tina, Erin Murphy, Keith, Richard, Steve all do.

The ICE agent who chased the wrong guy in North Minneapolis, shot into his house as he tried to flee, then lied about it has been arrested by DHS and turned over to Minnesota state authorities.

ben schierer for amy klobuchar's lt governor pick rumors have been going around a while, i heard it back in early april and checked around and other reporters hadn't heard it, i even asked zack filipovich about it and he said he also heard this, but he'd asked ben and ben said it wasn't true. alas!

State Delegates: Madgett needs 50 people to second his nomination. Please discourage people around you from joining in the seconding - this man is not a DFLer, and does not reflect our values as a party. He loves Elon Musk, which is a red flag in any politician, much more so one who wants to be AG.

anders folk held a fundraiser last night co-hosted by david madgett, who is running for attorney general as DFLer, or an independent, while also having praised elon musk last year on twitter state delegates: be aware madgett will be seeking nomination to speak taylordahlin.com/f/anders-fol...

Mayor Frey unmentioned in a story about his police department being insanely expensive and non-responsive during a major public safety crisis. www.startribune.com/minneapolis-...

same with 2010, that convention had multiple ballots, very close race. in 2026, delegates are consolidating around flanagan, and she would've won endorsement on the first ballot had craig not dropped

2018 governor race isn't comparable since that was a close endorsement, with erin murphy winning on the 6th ballot. craig didn't even try since she dropped out ahead of the DFL convention, and if she had, it would not have been close

$2.7 million was spent in digital advertising and mail to remake craig's image as being tough on ICE after she voted for the laken riley act last year and to thank ICE on another resolution. huge amounts of money going into the DFL process for craig, but flanagan has the people momentum

angie craig had been seeking advertising targeted at delegates after they were already selected. flanagan team had never seen millions and millions into the DFL endorsement process like this before taylordahlin.com/f/angie-crai...

tough to run statewide without the DFL endorsement without the party volunteers helping to coordinate events. craig will certainly have money to pay for people and VAN access but it will be her first time running against the party's endorsement and without that support

is it good when you have less support than “undecided”

For non-Minnesota people: this is an excellent explanation of the specific and byzantine world of Minnesota DFL in-party process, and why specifically Angie Craig dropping from the endorsement is damning. Taylor is a local indie journalist reporting information provided by the Flanagan campaign

After a Wisconsin town did this, the mayor said: “The fact that they didn’t take the cameras down shows that we are the product. They were never really selling to us in the first place. They're selling to much bigger agencies the ability to spy on a ton of people.” (via boltsmag.org/verona-wisco...)

It brings me immense joy that billions of dollars have been spent on trying to convince people to use GenAI and most people are like lmao no.
