i can't get over "this swipe" like grow the fuck up. leave your house. do some work beyond looking at pixels on a screen and thinking that's covering politics, LOL, it's not

onsite public media admitted to me they stole my entire blog and actually asked if they could KEEP IT UP and just give credit, which, no, of course not, what an offensive suggestion. never ask for forgiveness if you skipped asking for permission. that’s even worse

Police murdered a Black man in the street in Madison WI today. Shot point blank in the head while on the ground, tased, and surrounded by four cops. It looks like an execution. Multiple videos circulating online. Things are about to get very bad here.

I don’t know who these people are —or who this person is — and I don’t care (as in please don’t explain to me who it is, I don’t care) but absolutely unconscionable to compare my colleague Senator Fateh to Platner. You can dislike people and their politics, but this is beyond the pale.

I am calling on AOM to issue a retraction and to publicly apologize to Senator Fateh. At a time when we in the DFL need to come together under a big tent, engaging in racist and bad faith attacks on a popular member of the Minnesota legislature only divides us further.

The CBRC report did not find that any of the campaigns did anything wrong. The fault was found with the convention itself, not with Fateh's team, but the AOM crew keeps insisting that Fateh somehow cheated - which is smearing and libeling an upstanding state Senator who has the DFL endorsement.

The All of Minneapolis crew used their substantial newsletter today to send out a wildly inappropriate and racist attack on Omar Fateh this morning, comparing him to Graham Platner, and calling Fateh a fraudster. The email also repeats the lie that Fateh cheated to get the endorsement.

We deserve so much better. Bob Fletcher will be the only candidate for sheriff in Ramsey County this fall. Despite years of incompetence and failed leadership, no candidate has stepped forward to challenge this. That’s why I’m stepping up.

Minnesota has been dealing with the most despicable violence from federal agents, with help from local law enforcement, as a result of racist rhetoric like this for months. At a time when law enforcement should be rebuilding trust with the community, Bob Fletcher continues spewing this rhetoric.

Sheriff Bob Fletcher called Somali gang activity an “obvious problem” in a video posted to social media. Some community leaders warn it could further anti-Somali sentiment.

Like millions of Americans, I work to manage my mental health daily. I’ve long ignored my need for more help. That’s why I’m sharing some personal news. I’m taking a leave from the City for a month to get help at a rigorous outpatient program for clinical depression and anxiety.

we have great DFL endorsed candidates up and down the ballot this year from state level like zack filipovich for minnesota auditor to christin crabtree for minneapolis school board at large! at twin cities pride!
