Twin Cities DSA denounces the criminal attacks on Venezuela by the Trump Administration and the United States government. We join people of conscience worldwide who oppose imperialism.

The main claim of the Venezuelan opposition is that Maduro did not win the popular vote in the last election. The US presidents who took power in '01 and '17 both lost the popular vote. Would any American support another country abducting them and bombing our Capital?

More insanity from our current mode of production.

MN Republicans can only win by making inroads in Hennepin County. That won't happen with a national party leader as racist and inept as Trump is. If the GOP here throws away their MAGA hats I'll start to worry. With how fervent his supporters are, I'm positive they're superglued to their heads.

People on here will post anything. “Scott Calvin got some fits off.”

It's been an honor to serve Robbinsdale and I'm looking forward to this next chapter of life. See you soon Minneapolis!

Glad to spend the evening in Robbinsdale at the City Council meeting. Grateful for the powerful presentation from the Robbinsdale Human Rights Council and encouraged to see community support affirmed. Equity, inclusion, and justice must guide how we serve all communities. 🗽❤️

Not a day goes by that I don’t miss my dear friend Melissa. An incredible piece.

why do grown adults need to be told it’s rude and dismissive to say someone else’s job shouldn’t exist? like no one would say this about their own job, or accept it said about their own job. especially facing a possible recession! but you’ll say it about uber and lyft drivers so easily?

be wary of a doomsayer that is owned by someone who benefits from said doomsaying

Do you support ICE kidnapping our residents here in Minneapolis? All I’ve seen you do is vote for the Laken Riley Act and strip away due process from immigrants. You didn’t stick up for Minnesotans. In fact, your vote is impacting our Somali and immigrant communities heavily.

These are good moments to remember that the CEOs of all the biggest companies in America are happy to go to White House dinners and slap this guy’s back. They do not care about this. Remember this, years from now, when they want you to forget.

Starbucks CEO Brian Niccol made $95 million last year. His workers are striking for the bare minimum. Glad to be on the right side of the picket line with them.

Join us for our Winter Membership Drive! As more and more people become socialist-curious, this is a great way to get involved and make an impact! Training before we start so if you haven’t phone banked, all you need is a computer and your phone. Registration: buff.ly/8jN8yvN

I am a citizen and so are majority of Somalis in America. Good luck celebrating a policy change that really doesn’t have much impact on the Somalis you love to hate. We are here to stay 💁🏽‍♀️

TRUMP [after spending 5 minutes with Zohran]: surplus value, it’s a very wonderful thing, very wonderful, and they’re stealing it. Can you believe that? We’re going to be looking very strongly at the bourgeoisie, what they’re up to

A group of Chicago-area clergy is suing the Department of Homeland Security, saying it's violating their religious rights by blocking them from ministering inside an immigrant processing facility.

Thomas Paine was highlighted in last night's episode of The American Revolution by Ken Burns, which reminded me of this very good article about him: jacobin.com/2015/03/thom...

TCDSA showed up in solidarity to two picket lines today: the Starbucks Worker’s United Red Cup Rally on the 1st day of their open-ended strike & the UNITE HERE local 17 informational picket at Indeed Brewing!

Breaking News: America’s Roman Catholic bishops issued a rare statement rebuking the Trump administration’s aggressive deportation campaign.

With Trump’s massive tax cuts for the wealthy currently exploding the deficit, and now this, Trump and his oligarch cronies want to make us debt slaves from birth to death while truly owning nothing, while they buy bigger yachts and more mansions.

For my part, I'll be looking to get more involved with TCDSA moving forward. Outside of maybe some of our unions, I don't know that we have a stronger base-building organization right now? I'm also hoping to organize an Aurin-aligned volunteer/social group here in Ward 12 to help keep us engaged.

Remember: no matter who is in the Oval Office, you can always fight for change at the state and local levels. Just look at New Mexico.

Michael is a friend that I met through DSA. A year ago he told me he was considering a run for Park Board and asked for my thoughts. I encouraged him and have been in awe since he launched. No one in the race worked as hard as he did. I am proud of him and his team for running a visionary campaign.

What I love most about Jason Chavez’ campaign is how they worked—and succeeded!—at increasing turnout. They also spent resources on not just election literature, but on ensuring residents are armed w/info to protect ourselves and our neighbors in this terrifying era. One example of campaign lit:

I am so proud of the work we have done on the campaign trail, and incredibly grateful for all the relationships we built along the way. Together, we set a new standard for park board campaigns and political campaigning city-wide.

I’m sad to deliver the news that we unfortunately did not win our campaign for re-election. I have called the new Council Member-elect and wished her well. My term will be ending at the end of December this year, and I plan to use the next two months to do as much as I can for Ward 7 residents.

Growing up in Bachmann's (now Emmer's) district made me a leftist. The disdain MAGA MN leaders have for the working class would radicalize any decent person who believes in basic human rights.

Curbside voting can take a while, but it's a great option if you have difficulty standing or getting around. Folks should know that if they do want to go in, it's ok to ask the greeter to get you a chair to wait on or to expedite your entrance. They are trained to accommodate voters' realities.

i’m at lena smith blvd & 36th st, recently renamed from edmund blvd to honor the first female Black lawyer in minnesota & first female president of NAACP minneapolis chapter. elected officials aurin chowdhury, jacob frey, sam sencer mura, angela conley set to speak, among others

chowdhury says this also means a lot as the first person of color to represent ward 12

Almost every major news story this week is about how the entire economy is now gambling, scams, bribes and theft.

Reminder that three members of Congress have died in office this year (all Democrats, all 70+)

The critical ballot question that would shred absentee voting in Maine is polling neck and neck. We are throwing our movement’s strength and resources into the fight for NO ON 1!

In protest against ICE & Kristi Noem's visit later today, TCDSA joined a press conference as a member of the People's Action Coalition Against Trump. TCDSA co-chair, Brooke B, spoke: “We need solidarity to fight and win against fascism and keep our communities together!"

A new study argues that in the past, Cascadia quakes have triggered the San Andreas to go off, and that it could happen again. But other experts, while recognizing that may technically be possible, want more evidence. Read more at NatGeo: www.nationalgeographic.com/science/arti...

My name is Graham Platner and I’m running for US Senate to defeat Susan Collins and topple the oligarchy that’s destroying our country. I’m a veteran, oysterman, and working class Mainer who’s seen this state become unlivable for working people. And that makes me deeply angry.

Years ago I got a skull and crossbones tattoo with my buddies in the Marines. I was appalled to learn it closely resembled a Nazi symbol. I altered it yesterday, into something that isn't deeply offensive to my core beliefs. www.youtube.com/watch?v=dwt_...

Destruction of the White House East Wing began today. Here it is in better times with better residents.
