It’s Fateh vs. Frey right now. Progress vs. the same old lies.

There is room for all of us to rank candidates we support in November, but today, we need to unite to defeat Frey.

I hope all Davis & Hampton delegates vote to endorse Fateh and remind Frey that Mpls is united.

people come up with all kinds of fanciful math to justify billionaires' wealth but imo present political moment demonstrates conclusively that we need to tax billionaires at whatever rate will keep them focused on their own fucking business rather than our Medicaid and pediatric cancer research

the reaction to Mamdani's campaign is clear proof that centrism is a reactionary ideology, and has nothing to do with a pragmatic desire to win.

Cops incapable of registering anything cop-coded as a problem.

I have no sympathy for Ann Kim, but sucks to hear about Young Joni closing for the workers and diners alike. Also structurally, seems like restaurants are very hard to run profitably, even when successful, and the deciding factor is often "did the landlord think of a bigger number in the past year"

So many of these events were crazy, but my brain is broken by this part. A cop shows up, sees another cop there, pulls up next to him, he refuses to even look at her, and she doesn't even clock it as suspicious. Truly insane.

AG Ellison condemns federal raid in Minneapolis • Minnesota Reformer Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison condemned Tuesday’s militarized federal law enforcement action in Minneapolis, saying “it seemed like the point was to inflict terror and fear into the communi...

“If they want to inflict fear, and they wanted to discourage cooperation, they achieved both those goals yesterday,” Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison said Wednesday in an interview with States Newsroom. minnesotareformer.com/2025/06/04/a...

the company line from the Mayor and his dopey police sychophant surrogates, is that misinformation from activists escalated the trauma and panic of yesterday. No. Military vehicles, long guns, covered masked faces and jungle fatigues looking like a junta escalated panic and fear

Another demonstration of the fact that there is no point in bending to Trump, not just morally, but strategically. Columbia gave in & he just hits them harder... MAGA's goal is to destroy the universities (& newspapers & law firms etc etc etc) and the only logical approach is to unite and fight back

During the Line 3 pipeline review process in MN, our state agencies seemed to have this idea that "someone else" would consider the climate impacts -- that the responsibility couldn't be on THEM. Surprise: there is no magical climate superhero coming to save us! It's on us all.

Not a lot in the way of variety, but they're perfect: the Duck Duck Coffee breakfast sandwich made on one of their cheddar cayenne biscuits. Have to ask specifically for the biscuit and they're like 10x better that way!

Also the Butter Bakery breakfast sandwich Clint style.

Undocumented in Minnesota? Don't Get Sick! - Racket Plus farewell to a treasured local journalist, free music at the fair, and coke adds life to a viral clip in today's Flyover news roundup.

This is the righteous fury that is called for when Republicans sentence whole communities to die and dare to call it fiscal responsibility.

Trump and his lackeys are openly defying multiple court orders. When do the judges start issuing warrants?

Trump 2.0 is a test. A test of our resolve to uphold our values as a nation, as a state, and as a city. This administration pushes up against our values everyday as a challenge to our values. Today, our state leaders failed that test.

Who is the target audience for this "bipartisan" bullshit? Republicans have no interest in governing. It's not noble to tout that you can "work together" with a party led by a rapist conman and full o techno-fascists, Christian nationalists and Nazis.

Incredibly disappointing. What is government for, if not a way for us to care for one another. Stripping healthcare from our neighbors based on their immigration status is cruel, and dehumanizing.

Press Conference: POCI Caucus Discusses Budget Targets Affecting Undocumented Minnesotans Healthcare YouTube video by Minnesota Senate Media Services

The joint targets released today are unacceptable. This proposal will harm our most vulnerable who are seeking a basic need - healthcare. Eliminating MNCare for undocumented Minnesotans is a morally repugnant decision the DFL should not accept in any form. www.youtube.com/live/1nf4m4a...

The way the Senate got steamrolled today—you’d think we were in the minority.

Heartbreaking day for immigrants, communities of color, and our base.
This is beyond fucked up.

Governor Walz, Majority Leader Erin Murphy, and Leader Hortman have agreed to rip away healthcare from undocumented adults. This is a betrayal of Minnesota values. A betrayal to undocumented community members who are our family, friends, and neighbors.

I will never forget the sound of Minnesota Republican House caucus cheering at the news of undocumented Minnesotans losing access to healthcare.

They would do the same if I lost my healthcare.

They do not care about our lives. We are nothing to them. Those are the stakes for our communities.

If you are in Minnesota, Unidos is doing an urgent rally TOMORROW to stand up to these cuts:

Prayer Service and Press Action for Immigrant Healthcare
Outside House Chambers
Friday, May 16th | 10:45am-12pm
Outside the House Chamber at the Capitol

I was 7 years old when my family learned our then-undocumented parent had a breast tumor. Without urgent treatment we couldn’t afford, she had limited time before it became cancer. Healthcare coverage for undocumented Minnesotans, regardless of their age, is personal to me 🧵

Minnesota State Sen. Alice Mann (DFL-Edina) calls out the slashing of MinnesotaCare in the state budget:

"There is no fiscal responsibility when you do this. When we take away people's health care, they end up in the emergency department. It costs more money for everyone in the community."

There is nothing comforting about “I’m just as scared as you” coming from the legislative branch that’s supposed to keep checks and balances on the executive. While she thought it was relatable, it is actually mortifying.

We only get results if we fight and take action. Thank you, Senator Van Hollen.

Now it’s time to bring Kilmar home.

you’d think more electeds would see people going crazy over sen. booker or van hollen and want to do something brave just for the clout of it

people are making it so obvious that they want action

Shout out to all the finance bros who didn’t give a shit about democracy, human rights, racism, homophobia, misogyny, the future of the planet or basic human decency and voted for the conman they thought was gonna be good for the economy. You guys are geniuses.
