Another federal agent operation in St. Paul draws large crowds of protesters
Gov. Tim Walz said state officials were monitoring a “chaotic” situation “and working to understand what unfolded. We received no heads up from federal authorities on this operation.”

About time the re-politicization of St. Paul begins
Whatever one thought of it in the moment it's clear that a wide swath of Saint Paul residents have given SPPD a lot of good faith assumptions during an era when policing is under greater scrutiny. And I think today is gonna mark a major shift in that sentiment for a significant chunk of citizens.

why are people taking messages that are sent only to people who have gone through training by monarca on how to be a legal observer and blasting them on social media to be found by people who ARE NOT TRAINED IN HOW TO SHOW UP?

this is so fucking dangerous

Caucuses in DSA are organized around sets of shared principles and priorities called points of unity.

Listed below are Groundwork’s points of unity. These are our values and ambitions that unite us in wanting to build a DSA to be the mass political force to meet the moment and contest for power.

Hello Bluesky! This is the launch of the Twin Cities DSA Groundwork Caucus local!

Who are we? What is Groundwork?

We are socialists who believe in building DSA to be a mass politics organization!

This means growing DSA to contest at the highest levels of power in our countries politics.

vulgar marxism is really appealing because it instantly explains why people do bad things in terms of good and evil and it's extremely misleading for the same reasons - marxism is about systems, not individuals!
There's a tendency among a certain type of poster to assume everything they hate about politics and the state can be blamed on avarice, and I'm here to tell you it's actually worse than that.
I continue to disagree with this. The goal of mass detention is mass deportations. A private prison company leasing 100 beds to ICE gets paid the same if the beds are filled by 100 people for a year each or 1,000 people for a few days each. They don't earn more with long-term detention.

Last week, 65,000+ residents voted to elect a democratic socialist mayor. All Council races that had a DSA-endorsed candidate won by overwhelming margin. These results send a clear message: people want leaders who will fight for working-class communities, not corporate interests.

Very excited to see a socialist caucus in city hall!

TCDSA made a huge level up this year. This organization can be messy, but is becoming something powerful. If you're on the fence of jumping in, with Trump in the Whitehouse and Frey in city hall, we need organized working class solidarity now more than ever.
When Twin Cities DSA members voted to endorse @OmarFatehMN.com for mayor, we knew the task before us would be hard. Landlords, Wall Street developers & corporations like Lyft poured millions of dollars into this election to spread racist, Islamophobic lies to protect their profits.
