the first TV ad from peggy flanagan for minnesota's US senate seat is out, contrasting her voting record with angie craig's! with craig ads by PACs ever-present, flanagan says she "wanted Minnesotans to hear directly from me about what’s at stake in this election." www.youtube.com/watch?v=2COz...

NEW: Legendary parade commentators Taylor Dahlin and John Edwards carry on the tradition of narrating another year of Big Honkin' Trucks rolling down Nicollet Mall. www.youtube.com/watch?v=9eB2...

Congratulations to Cedrick Frazier, Angela Conley, Irene Fernando, and Marion Greene on their DFL endorsements today! Congratulations to the delegates on successfully getting no endorsement in the sheriff race! Lastly, props to Kevin Chavis for his efforts challenging an incumbent from the left!

I just wrote a @theactionnetwork.bsky.social letter: Call on the Minneapolis City Council to Pass the Resolution Pressuring European Financial Institutions to Divest from ICE Contractors!. Write one here: actionnetwork.org/letters/mpls...

notice that angie craig did not contribute to the sd62 convention's interpretation services & accessibility yesterday?she has been trying to keep up with how strongly anti ICE voters are in running for US senate but this further shows it's all about optics when even small campaigns chip in

“For years, Kevin Chavis has been a tireless advocate for working-class families across the Twin Cities. He listens, brings people together, and leads with a real commitment to community. Kevin will fight to strengthen the social safety net for children and families in Hennepin County....

I am deeply honored to receive the endorsement of Stonewall DFL. LGBTQ+ rights are human rights, and as Hennepin County Commissioner I will fight to ensure every neighbor can access the housing, healthcare, and dignity they deserve More info at kevinchavis.org and also at mnstonewalldfl.org

i’m at hennepin county government center for an emergency press conference & rally by inquilinxs unidxs por justicia demanding minneapolis city council override mayor frey’s veto of pause evictions, save lives to extend notice period from 30 to 60 days to help renters catch up after ICE occupation

Elevated from replies: As of last Saturday, Hennepin County no longer uses Emergency Assistance funds to cover missed-month rent or damage/security deposits. This is good PR by the mayor (who would normally lecture any leftie proposing a $1m transfer) but won’t meet need. bsky.app/profile/rmx....

The first bill out of the Trump administration was the Laken Riley Act. Only one Minnesota Democrat voted to support it. Since then, the president has used it to separate families and detain thousands of people without due process. Nothing can undo the damage that has been done.

"It’s not hard to see why ICE has expanded its reach beyond the Twin Cities. The qualities that have hindered ICE’s operation in Minneapolis and St. Paul — density and walkability; a large, almost exclusively left-of-center population — are absent here." www.theverge.com/policy/87871...

right wingers have been very mad at rep brad tabke for openly helping ICE resistance and everything they share just makes him look cool as hell and don’t forget he won this seat by only 14 votes!

Ending this operation is not enough. We need justice and accountability. That starts with independent investigations into the murders of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, economic restitution for businesses impacted, abolishing ICE, and the impeachment of Kristi Noem.

It ain’t over til Minnesota has ICE’s battle flag

For health care workers, going to work means an onslaught of fear and anxiety with ICE agents present. “What will happen to us?" one health care worker said. "That is my question every single night before going to bed. It really affects me mentally and emotionally. This is like a nightmare.”

They crush the local economy, deplete city budgets, illegally withhold congressionally allocated funds. In exchange we get masked Texans running wild in the streets, paid for with tax money that was supposed to be used on our healthcare. Thank you to our federal partners.

‘If you haven’t served, respect those who have’: Nato soldiers on Trump’s slurs

Alex Jeffrey Pretti was killed by a federal officer in Minneapolis. Family members say he was an intensive care nurse at a Department of Veterans Affairs hospital who cared deeply about people and was upset by President Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown in his city.

A number of sites in the Twin Cities have closed or announced shelter-in-place orders after a 37-year-old man was shot and killed by federal immigration officers on Saturday in Minneapolis near 26th Street and Nicollet Avenue.

Abolish ICE is now the moderate minimum position, Prosecute ICE is where Dems should be at next.

ICE executed another person in our City this morning on video. The video shows to me multiple agents beating on someone already on the ground and then these masked thugs decide to shoot multiple shots into someone who is already defenseless.

People outside local businesses like Pimento on Nicollet calling out to crowd they can come inside to warm up if they need to.

Thank you to District 5 for believing in our grassroots campaign that advocates for workers’ rights, environmental justice, expansion for youth programming, and the right for all to have equitable access to safe and healthy third spaces.

If I'd known my endorsements would be highlighted in campaign material I would've done better than "totally normal cool lady, don't mess this up Ward 12."

During the 2025 Special Legislative Session, state policymakers chose to remove #MinnesotaCare eligibility for undocumented adults. This decision means more people will go without needed health care, while hospitals face higher costs & the economy will be worse off. Read the brief: bit.ly/4ngQbLS

Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison is pursuing a third term, citing his desire to continue pressing back on the Trump administration and making the cost of living more affordable. His entry into the race likely clears the field on the DFL side.
