Something that kept me and I think a lot of other people in Minnesota going this winter was the idea that they cannot kill us all. Whatever horrible things Miller tries to cook up will not succeed. We will not let them.

fundamentally I just refuse to be scared by the Miller thing yes, he’s one of the worst people alive yes, he’s going to do bad shit but folks we are going to win a senate seat in fucking Mississippi fuck him and fuck them, we are going to win

I genuinely have no idea whom I'm supporting for the 2028 presidential nomination, but my current sole criteria is that if you attempt to soft launch your campaign before the holidays are over, I'm not voting for you.

I KNEW IT

‘What I actually did was split the Republican vote’: Ty Pinkins shares why he stayed in

Here’s my proposal for the new Congress to start on. Pass these bills one at a time. If Trump is going to veto, let it be crystal clear what’s being vetoed. Be a relentlessly busy Congress. We built a big damn tent, let’s start with easy wins.

we did this thing in choir tonight where you close your eyes and sing a note and just…take a risk, choose a note, tune and find harmony, blind. that is what good organizing feels like to me. you start doing the work. you move towards each other. you shift and find harmony. build trust.

Minnesota had the highest voter turnout rate in the nation Tuesday. Unofficial results show 2.93 million ballots were cast in the state. That’s two out of three eligible Minnesotans, according to figures from the University of Florida’s Election Lab.

"we are going to pass some pretty bold legislation," peggy flanagan said. "if the president decides that he wants to screw over the american people and veto those bills, i guess that's his choice. but our job is to make sure that people understand what happens when democrats are in charge."

If Jeffries is not brought in line, the public will throw Democrats out in 2028.

There is no moving forward without accountability. We cannot build tomorrow until we have a full reckoning with yesterday

DFL TRIFECTA IN MINNESOTA! In the State of Minnesota, Democratic Farmer Labor party candidates have won control of the Governorship, the House of Representatives, and the Senate — both chambers of the State Legislature. #MNLeg

We must never forget that the price for this victory was paid in blood. Thousands of our neighbors were violently arrested, shipped around the country, imprisoned, and deported for no good reason. So many stood by them and were assaulted, gassed, stalked, and worse by the Feds. All of it is for them

two more likely DFL flips in the state house. these are the reps in seeberger's senate district, and she's now leading in her race after the latest drop. not calling it now, but it's looking like a likely DFL trifecta.

For #MNLeg LGBTQ+ candidates, we are already seeing 4 fully called races. More to go, but if patterns hold I am expecting to see a historic 16 LGBTQ+ candidates win seats in the next legislature here in our state.

We built a countywide, working-class coalition together. And today, that coalition showed up. I am honored to serve as your next Hennepin County Attorney.

Minnesota’s new 2-party system: Amy vs the lefties

for all of the "I don't want to get my heart broken by Texas" people out there, it's okay. I'm fine getting my heart broken. I'm gonna run at that brick wall screaming WE CAN DO THIS and if I smack into it and fall over, oh well. I'll get up & do it again next time. I can not be stopped. LOL

Noem, Markwayne, Miller, Homan, Bovino, what’s up? Clear your schedule.

Reminder: Dem victories win us time, but we have to build and make moves during that time, if we dont make big transformations the fash wave comes back harder and higher

Official statement from incoming chairman of the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Oversight and Government Reform @robertgarcia.house.gov:

To quote my friend and fellow volunteer: If we lose today it’s not the end. And if we win today it’s not the end. Keep doing the work.

Minneapolis hit 75,000 early votes. Last midterm, four years ago, it was 46,000. Midterm record was 52,000. Wow. vote.minneapolismn.gov/results-data...

Time for Election Day AMA! I’m a Minneapolis election judge & will try to answer your sincere questions about Tuesday. Most of my answers are limited to Minneapolis but some may be broadly applicable (I’ll try to note where). Don’t feel dumb if you don’t know something! This is your place for help.

having election day anxiety that you need to put somewhere but can’t volunteer? know where a campaign office is? send snacks. food. pizza. bring by a few 12pks of diet coke. a DQ ice cream cake. maybe cut fruit. these children are surviving on god knows what.

🧵 Minneapolis early voting thru Monday. 7 full early voting days to go, but precincts in blue at/above 2022 *total* early vote. Orange = below ‘22’s total , but again, full week to go. Only 1 precinct (7-10 in Stevens Square) is below 70% of ‘22. Pace seems certain to smash 2018 midterm record (52k)

If I told you there was an elected executive who was 1) cutting the budget of social services 2) lessening the capacity of election staff 3) unwilling to negotiate on spending in other gov branches 4) refusing to let department leaders and staff testify before the legislative branch

I should have mentioned that my office is Minneapolis Elections & Voter Services. The Mayor's budget eliminates seven staff members less than two weeks before an anxiety-inducing midterm. No more high school election judge program. No more voter outreach.

When the mayor's proposed budget eliminates half our office, we fortify ourselves with baked goods. Yesterday it was pastries from Dahlia. Today our colleague baked for us.

💜 my representative!

I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

Collecting statements by Minnesotan politicians in this thread.

Where to go this afternoon if you can!

Minnesota clock in. Can you give someone a ride to vote? Can you show up for the Somali community? Whenever there’s an announcement of a rally to support Omar, can you set aside your plans and go?

What good thing can you make stronger?
