I'm attending Minnesota DFL's event, “The DFL Daily” - when I can! www.mobilize.us/dfl/event/78...

Truly the public is not furious enough.

We tried to explain that criminalization is the fuel of fascism.

Yard signs on display

Given the timing, we consider this to be targeted harassment as punishment for exercising our First Amendment rights.

We're still handing out free whistles. And we just got in hundreds of new yard signs.

Keep resisting, Minnesota. We love you.

ICE has kidnapped so many people from their cars that the city had to put out this statement. Let that sink in.

ICE not only manhandled and terrorized a 10th grader who is an American citizen, they stole his phone. And then they sold it.

I repeat, they stole his phone, and then they sold it.

“Fuck the Democrats for selling us out” in Zohran Mamdani font

HAPPENING NOW: Judge McConnell is sharply rebuking the Trump administration for what he said was defying his order to make full SNAP payments by Nov. 5. He has ordered USDA to make the *full* payment to states by tomorrow.

Fateh and Jacob had a lock on the money and the endorsements from the beginning and Fateh was obviously not going to carry enough of the city to win. And definitely not in an off-cycle year. Everything about this was super predictable. Hope we learn some lessons and we don't have to do this again!

Donors aren't going to give to candidates who are long-shots. They want to spend their money where it matters. And candidates have to be serious about raising money and serious about running. This is particularly true against an incumbent. It's a full time job for more than a year and no less.

Davis and Hampton couldn't break through because they were both running against established politicians. That matters because orgs are not going to take a risk to endorse against a politician who will be in some elected office in January and able to hold it against them.

Progressives got behind a candidate with a low ceiling of support and obvious liabilities. Multiple council members who endorsed Fateh and put all their energy behind him even acknowledged he could not win. Fateh was never going to be Mamdani. He didn't have the charisma or the comms for that.

People are out here blaming RCV for Jacob's win. And I cannot stress this enough: RCV had literally nothing to do with it. Everything about this outcome was entirely predictable. Jacob had huge structural advantages: compliant local media, off-cycle election, PAC $, patronage networks.

My RCV take: It’s not preventing Minneapolis progressives from achieving desired city-wide results. It is actually showing that progressives are close even when not winning. And it’s affirming something about the electorate that we don’t understand, can’t accept, or don’t know what to do about.

Zohran Mamdani was the first mayoral candidate and Democratic official to stand up to the Trump administration over the arrest and disappearance of Mahmoud Khalil, which he saw as a violation of the First Amendment.

Timmerman describes the police union holding up a review in the case of Davis Moturi.

Timmerman says they received an email from MPD an hour before Monday's Audit Committee explaining that a regularly scheduled weekly crime stat meeting would be the reason MPD couldn't attend.

Minneapolis City Auditor Robert Timmerman: "Great resistance" from MPD in cooperating with after action reviews, even after speaking with "well over a dozen senior leaders to explain... the requirements of them and their staff to cooperate."

Foreign disinformation about Charlie Kirk's killing seeks to widen US divisions Russia moved quickly to exploit conservative activist Charlie Kirk's shooting death at a Utah college, with groups linked to the Kremlin spreading false and misleading claims that experts say are desi...

Russia moved to amplify online conspiracy theories about Charlie Kirk’s killing just hours after it happened, seeding social media with the frightening claim that America is slipping into civil war.

when people like Bill Gates say shit like "there won't be doctors or teachers in ten years" we should consider that as a threat. His ass is going to see a real human doctor! His grandkids will have real human teachers! He's talking about YOU!!

How the Supreme Court Unleashed the Trump-Musk Presidency Donald Trump and Elon Musk are cashing in on two landmark Supreme Court decisions benefiting autocrats and billionaires.

“The Court’s rulings creating “presidential immunity” and upending campaign finance law, in particular, conveyed a message that Trump and his billionaire buddies can do anything they want.” #SCOTUS #RESIST
