Angie Craig crossed the @sbworkersunited.org picket line to get that coffee and then brought it to the DFL elected officials meeting. Folks, that L stands for LABOR. The fact that she clearly doesn’t care is one of many reasons why @peggyflanagan.bsky.social is the clear choice.
i’m in st. paul for the statewide DFL elected officials convocation. i see jason garcia of the minneapolis park board and soren stevenson of the city council

Fondly remembering the months of weirdness/unhinged comments we got from Pritzker fiends on this app and others for simply (and accurately!) covering state police attacks on protesters outside Broadview. Godspeed to everyone in Minnesota facing the same from the Walz fan club

To be clear, I counted HCSO deputies, State Patrol troopers, and DNR Conservation Officers among all the police present. MnDOT plow trucks blocked roads entering the area around Whipple, which obstructed the way for at least one ambulance. This is on Sheriff Dawanna Witt and @governorwalz.mn.gov.

I think it's funny they tweeted this and not the complete results, which showed Klobuchar only getting 72%, not 79%. Hmm, I wonder why.
Thank you, Minnesota, for showing up for your neighbors in historic numbers on Caucus Night!

DFL PREFERENCE BALLOT FOR GOVERNOR:
[84% of precincts reporting]

1. Amy Klobuchar (79%)
2. Uncommitted (16%)
3. Write-Ins (3%)
4. Christopher Seymore (1%)
5. Abstain (1%)

In NE Minneapolis and Columbia Heights today, Weds. 2/5/26, ICE has been focusing on schools and schoolbus stops. SCHOOLS AND SCHOOLBUS STOPS. This is their “softer touch”
Everything you’re hearing from the Trump administration is a lie. Today was one of the most active days in Northeast since the entire Operation Metro Surge began.

Nothing is changing on the ground in Minneapolis, no matter what headlines Trump and Homan try to create.

ICE already doesn't care about the Constitution. Why would they give a shit about a deal with Chuck Schumer?
None of this is enforceable. Half of it is already existing law. All of it depends on voluntary compliance and follow-through from ICE. Why should we pretend Republicans will act in good faith?
Schumer & Jeffries lay out the Democratic demands for a DHS funding deal in a letter to the top Republican leaders

Our precinct's DFL gubernatorial straw poll results: 1 Erin Murphy, 1 "anyone but Amy," 14 Klobuchar and 20 uncommitted. This from a predictably centrist dfl stronghold. Big opening for someone.

This isn't unusual. I've seen metro districts with 90%+ uncommitted delegates. People know Klobuchar's record on ICE & Trump judges. She's a paper tiger - all the fundraising imaginable, but no grassroots enthusiasm.

We just need ONE (1) slightly audacious DFL politician willing to challenge her.

people in minnesota are fired up against ICE, and we have no appetite for a politician like craig who voted for the laken riley act and a resolution in support of ICE

this campaign is going nowhere

Shame on ProPublica management for moving like Starbucks, Amazon and other organizations - especially under this anti-labor administration - to fuck over workers.

Oh good, ICE agents will get to have multiple angles for their videos of themselves killing civilians.

Why stop there? I say, every ICE agent deserves a subscription to Final Cut Pro, so they can gussy up those videos and make them look professional.

Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning.

Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

You’re describing an emergency. The world is also watching you and waiting for you to do something.

Are you going to establish an eviction moratorium? Rent is due today.
They’re taking kids from Minnesota and sending them to detention camps. They’re shooting American citizens in the street and locking investigators out of the crime scenes. The world is watching what happens next.
