in whittier now for the IPG tenants’ union press conference beginning shortly on blaisdell ave

I think it's good and cool, actually, that Anders Folk is running to be the guy in charge of prosecuting ICE agents while taking money from the lawyer defending ICE agents.

Last month, @mprnews.org tagged along on a door knock and got to see what this campaign is about. Read or listen for a snapshot of how we’re putting in the work – and miles – to reach voters, listen, and grow a movement around the needs of our community and the future we want to build together.

‘There’s a choice’: 11 Minnesota lawmakers face primary challenges

State legislators from both major political parties face primary contests next week. The results likely won’t reset the political balance in St. Paul, but they could shift the perspective within their...

Over $60 million in superpac spending couldn’t buy the election for Haley Stevens. Unlimited spending can’t cover up the liability of being against abolishing ICE and voting to thank them. Next Tuesday Minnesota can send the same message by voting against Laken Riley Act supporter Angie Craig.

the lesson of tonight is that everyone needs to lock the fuck in for @peggyflanagan.bsky.social

anders folk is using footage from lake & bloomington raid in his ads featuring people who actually showed up to the scene to defend their neighbors who do NOT support his campaign folk obvs has no footage of himself there and his campaign shouldn’t be bolstered by these brave minneapolis residents

My photo is being used in a campaign ad for Anders Folk. It will come as a surprise to literally no one who has ever met me - I am not supporting his bid Hennepin County Attorney. I've asked that my photo be removed from all materials, & reported the ad. If you see the video, please report it, thx!

The St. Paul City Council is voting on sending Right to Repair go to the ballot. Email your council member to vote yes! Everyone deserves the right to timely and quality repairs in their homes. actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...

My piece in @pioneerpress.bsky.social: "A mayor without a vision doesn’t just make bad decisions — they make unpredictable ones. Six months into Kaohly Her’s term, St. Paul has learned the difference." www.twincities.com/2026/08/02/c...

Cole Hanson: St. Paul mayor’s lack of vision shows in her bad, unpredictable decisions

“She won last November not because she offered St. Paul a compelling vision but because Melvin Carter didn’t run a meaningful campaign,” Hanson writes.

It’s been a great week of doorknocking! Grassroots campaigns start at the doors. From Eden prairie to Brooklyn Park - we’ll be there.

We got a new round of lit for @ilhanmn.bsky.social @peggyflanagan.bsky.social @keithellison.bsky.social and @cedrickfrazier.bsky.social, and we’re taking it to the streets! Make your plan to vote for all four by August 11th!

"The license plate network became a “backdoor for civil immigration enforcement that our community never consented to,” Fridley City Council candidate Abdilahi Jama said at a packed council meeting. “The public trust has been broken.” Lots of important suburban municipal elections on August 11!

Twin Cities suburbs restrict license plate data after Star Tribune investigation

Law enforcement agencies, some working with ICE, were searching local Flock camera data during Operation Metro Surge.

From the Star Tribune Hotdish today: "Through July, Senate Democrats spent far more defending Latz in a safely Democratic district than in any November battleground." $40k could have gone a long way in a swing seat to hold the DFL Senate majority.

Minneapolis is gloating because people think St Paul has taken the title for weirdest mayor, but the truth is Jacob Frey routinely scrubs his text messages, so we have no idea how many police employees he's sent weiner texts to.

“This year Minnesota showed the nation what it means to protect our neighbors in their time of need. Let’s offer that same love and hospitality and care for our unhoused neighbors.”

Every part of the DFL should be focused on winning majorities, not defending unpopular incumbents in deep-blue seats. Disappointing.

DFL Senate Caucus blew $41k on protecting Ron Latz in a safe DFL seat -- 32% of their total candidate spending so far this year -- more than triple what they spent in actual swing districts to protect candidates Grant Hauschild and Eric Putnam that we actually need to maintain a majority.

My primary ballot if it helps anyone US Senate: Flanagan US House: Ilhan Mn AG: Ellison Mn Secy of State: Simon Mn Auditor: Filipovic Hennepin D3 Commish: Greene Hennepin Attorney: Frazier Mpls Schools: Crabtree & Beachy (Tell your moderate friends to vote Hao Nguyen>Anders Folk for Hennepin Atty)

" @lynettedumalag.bsky.social says her own involvement during Operation Metro Surge—organizing neighborhood patrols, responding to reports of immigration enforcement activity and opposing a proposed detention center—has resonated with voters looking for leaders who were visible in the community."

A state Senate primary becomes a test of Democrats’ debate over experience vs. change

Sen. Ron Latz’s first serious primary in decades, against former St. Louis Park City Council member Lynette Dumalag, reflects the competing visions shaping the Democratic Party.
