this is so random, and the post was not agreed to by the current leadership of the DFL Progressive Caucus
- signed, First Vice Chair of the DFL Progressive Caucus.

She would be the best or nearly the best option for Minnesota #DFL Governor if we can get her to run. Easy, unifying win for a #NoFascists #NoOligarchy #HealthCareForAll #GreenNewDeal leader of #MNleg.
Senator Jen McEwen, HERO from DULUTH, landing in the middle of the urban highway juggernaut, THANK YOU for asking these important and pointed questions about @mndot.bsky.social's Rethinking I-94 process.

I am hearing that the emergency @dfl.org SEC meeting tonight, which I had planned on attending, is discussion only and will not be taking up any actual business. This is not how this meeting was initially presented to the SEC earlier this week.

our congresswoman was attacked last night.
the state party has done NOTHING to support our unit volunteers safety. volunteers do not want to risk their lives for a state party that has systemically undervalued & underresourced Minneapolis.
@dfl.org NEEDS TO MOVE CAUCUSES TO VIRTUAL IMMEDIATELY.

I really appreciate this letter, but not to the reasons you think. It is abundantly clear that they think that since we are not at their table, it inevitably means we are on their menu.
Time to prove them wrong.

A letter released Sunday by the leaders of more than 60 Minnesota companies — including the CEOs of Target, General Mills, UnitedHealth Group and 3M — called for local and federal leaders to “come together to foster progress.”
Live: Minnesota's high-profile CEOs break silence, call for ‘immediate deescalation’
The letter marks a notable shift from Minnesota’s top employers, who had previously remained quiet about the surge of immigration officials in the state and the killing of Renee Good.

Tell your daddy to get on it, Comer! We need to learn our lesson real bad!
Comer on Fox right now urging Trump to pull ICE out of Minneapolis to *punish* Minnesotans — will prove to the state how good it was to have ICE there! This is really some 5-D chess

Justice for Alex Pretti. Abolish ICE. Prosecute all ICE officers and local, state and federal officials, elected or otherwise, who enabled these atrocities to happen.

I have heard from SO many constituents who are concerned about their safety, and their neighbors’ safety, on caucus night. @dfl.org MUST have contactless caucuses to ensure safe and fair representation.
The time has come where the DFL can no longer pretend that things are business as usual. @dfl.org @rcarlbom.bsky.social it’s time to pivot to contactless caucuses to protect our precinct caucus attendees and volunteers from harm at the hands of ICE.

ICE has shown up at schools, bus stops, made fake food aid flyers, and used a 5yo as bait to opportunistically beat up, tear-gas, and abduct neighbors and observers. @dfl.org and @rcarlbom.bsky.social what makes you think they * wouldn't * use our caucuses as a way to terrorize and detain DFLers?

Legitimately worried that DFL volunteers in particular will get seriously harmed, detained, or killed during precinct caucuses this year if we have them in-person. We did contactless caucuses in 2022 during a health emergency. We must do it again during a hostile occupation.

Minnesotans shot Christofascist, pardoned J-6 insurrectionist, Jake Lang in the face with silly string yesterday. It's being called the 'Minnesota Money Shot' 🤣

Ma’am that is not what this is about. The DFL has plenty of money in the bank. Stop being obtuse to defend a DNC Vice Chair who knows better than to run her fucking mouth like this on Bluesky.

I work with state parties every single day. There are only a handful of national leaders who actually raise real money for the year organizing state parties do--Ken Martin (dnc chair), Simon Rosenberg (Hopium), Sen. Warren and Actblue. Come for Simon and you come for all of us.

Remember that it was Sen. Hauschild who killed the sanctuary bill btw
Your money could be better spent on helping families. Funding the DFL apparatus will likely send money to members who actually won’t support immigrants. Like when they stripped healthcare from immigrant adults or refused to advance Sen Fateh’s sanctuary bill.
