Shoutout to @repangiecraig.bsky.social for enabling the current ICE raids and kidnapping of our neighbors when she voted for Laken Riley and then again when she voted for a resolution praising their tactics. Minnesotans donโ€™t want a nazi enabler in the senate (or house). Time to #resign.

It was Ken then, but itโ€™s Richard now and he has done nothing to improve the integrity among state party leadership.

more feminist caucus fallout: here is the police report cd5 candidate latonya reeves filed against nick kruse. weirdly, she lied and gave police a family member's address over north instead of her own ward 7 address, which is public as part of her FEC filing

she felt he had threatened her 1/2

Proud of everybody expressing their rights and telling ICE to get lost. ICE is not welcome in MPLS. Stay strong everyone.

Do you support ICE kidnapping our residents here in Minneapolis? All Iโ€™ve seen you do is vote for the Laken Riley Act and strip away due process from immigrants.

You didnโ€™t stick up for Minnesotans. In fact, your vote is impacting our Somali and immigrant communities heavily.

I donโ€™t normally read the comments, but these ones give me hope. I know we are all seeing a lot of hate toward our Somali friends and neighbors, but I wanted to share these.

I hope they bring a smile to your face like they did mine.

Inconceivable to me that Jonathan Weinhagen is the only one skimming money off the various orgs that make up the Frey money machine.

Jonathan Weinhagen didn't just steal the crimestoppers reward money from murdered children, he stole $60,000 in donations intended to go to Mayor Frey's PAC, All of Mpls.

Excellent reporting by Taylor on Cyndy Martin, whose homicide court date is today.

Multiple people have been functionally harassed out of the party just for talking about the charges against Martin. I appreciate the fuck out of Taylor collecting this timeline and reporting on it.

Carol Becker posting like a post-WWII holdout in a bunker in the South Pacific, waiting for a stand-down order that will never come. The zanryลซ nipponhei of Ward 12.

Is Carol Becker the original troll your parents and teachers warn you about? Sure seems that way.

I remember when @whatmsksaid.bsky.social first called me and asked me why I wasnโ€™t helping youโ€”I had no clue ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

Itโ€™s nuts how hands off they were when you were begging for help. Even more nuts considering they continue to harass @jpmrst.bsky.social when heโ€™s the person who swooped in and saved the day many times over.

There was a show called the singing Xmas tree that played yearly at the theater I worked at in portland. The year i was there i was warned people are certain to faint in this massive tree that doubles as choir risers.

I was a doubter and was quickly proven wrong. It happens more than expected ๐Ÿ˜ญ

publicaccess.courts.state.mn.us

click case search, case number, then enter "31-CR-24-3008"

If DFL leadership protects and coddles the literal worst of us, and tries to run off talented, principled people like Dan Thomas Commins, they're going to have a hard time winning a race for sewer commission much less Governor or Senate.

Thing is: when you get so insular, incestuous, and corrupt that bad press is the only fucking thing that gets a response, you end up creating an environment where those who want change have to air this shit in public and use that pressure to get a fucking response. You created this.

Members of the Constitution, Bylaws, and Rules Committee are complaining about people online (particularly @taylordahlin.com) discussing Cyndy Martin killing a teenager with her car and running from the scene and the "bullying" that they are seeing. taylordahlin.com/f/the-dfls-c...

Trying to punish a super volunteer who has skillsets the party desperately needs (and very few possess) over petty, personal reasons shows how unserious some of these people are. Just absurd.

So since Democrats just had a vote on a resolution to condemn socialism. When is the resolution to condemn fascism? Would love to see a vote on that!

An incredibly funny thing about Taylor is that she gets so far under the skin of absolute dipshits that they just can't help themselves. John Wall was on the stand, testifying under oath, and he couldn't help but take a dig at Taylor who was sitting in the corner reporting.

22.11.2025 16:25 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 75    ๐Ÿ” 10    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 1

itโ€™s all very minnesotan to talk around the problem and pretend that accurately describing facts is โ€œtoxicโ€ and โ€œoutrageousโ€ but no one says anything about the woman facing criminal charges for killing a teenager with her car

i think keeping someone like that in leadership is toxic and outrageous
