I don’t wait for permission to fight for what’s right. I’m running to represent Missouri’s First because our community deserves a leader who shows up when it’s hardest and fights for all of us with courage.

Thanks for having me, @velshi.com @msnbc.com. #CoriForUs

star tribune finally touches campaign finance, only mentions we love mpls, which was shut down months ago and replaced by thrive mpls, which does not get named. sigh

Frey is winning mayoral money race, but his opponents lead in these areas

Fateh, Davis and Hampton have more support in neighborhoods with more immigrants and less income. Will it translate to votes?

i love the deep camaraderie being built in the copy room after our duty day between overworked Mpls teachers & our mutual disdain for Jacob Frey.

seriously, we haven’t all been in solidarity like this since before the strike.

A paragraph from a news article discussing a new rule affecting H-2A farmworkers. It reads: “In addition, the new rule allows farm employers to charge H-2A workers for their housing, which was not allowed before. ‘It’s a way for employers to continue to house workers and also charge them, and bring down effective wages,’ said Marcos Lopez of the Labor and Community Center at the University of California, Davis.”

Ummmmm fucking hello??? Conflict of interest? @dfl.org does anyone there even care about the implications of this??

The investigation is being conducted by a panel subcommittee of the CRBC led by Latonya Reeves. Reeves is the author of one of the original challenges to the Minneapolis DFL convention, calling for the revocation of Sen. Fateh's endorsement. Reeves later withdrew her challenge, choosing instead to participate and vote on the CRBC ruling which retracted Sen Fateh's endorsement. Along several other members of the CRBC, Reeves is also a voting member of the DFL State Executive Committee, which absolved the CRBC of error in their handling of the challenges to the Minneapolis DFL convention,

JFC. The state party is running for the right. They are so terrified of anything connected to the word socialist that they will shut down the vote engine for the state. Good luck filling state wide offices with Democrats if you destroy the Minneapolis DFL. Unbelievable.
