Inexplicably weird lefty, completely unendearing to moderates and Republicans. Love my Minneapolis community, fully occupied with resistance.

Poverty, homelessness, drugs are all complicated issues with no easy solutions. But destroying encampments is inhumane & solves nothing. Listening House is an amazing resource for unhoused neighbors. If you want to be part of a solution, consider volunteering/donating. www.listeninghouse.org

From an Arab-American activist about Abdul El-Sayed, who won last night's Democratic primary for U.S. Senate in Michigan:

The Wall Street Journal@wsj.com · yesterdayNew York City’s business elites are long accustomed to direct access to City Hall, where even Democratic mayors felt the need to court the city’s wealthiest and most influential corporate leaders. That access is getting shredded by Mayor Zohran Mamdani.
Guess I’ll be part of the Kaohly Her whisper campaign but a St. Paul knower confides maybe the police aren’t making shit up, they’re just the only department with the political cover to go public. Ask your St. Paul government friends if Her’s treatment of colleagues and underlings goes beyond SPPD.
It's amazing how hard establishment Dems will work to avoid saying "Universal Healthcare".
Amy Klobuchar@amyklobuchar.com · 2d agoBuying in bulk gets you a better price. As Governor, I'll expand Minnesota's bulk purchasing of prescription drugs to lower costs.
Susan Collins announcing she'll vote against a controversial nominee is basically the moment it becomes clear that nominee will be confirmed. It means Thune has enough votes to confirm, and thus, Collins gets a pass to look independent.
After the Cedric Alexander experience, I thought Barnette's low key personality was a selling point. Still didn't work. So Frey has picked two very different kinds of clunkers for a job that didn't exist until 2022.

In Issue No. 11, @hadasthier.bsky.social asked more than two dozen organizers in cities around the country this question: What lessons can be learned from how the resistance in Minnesota and beyond came together? hammerandhope.org/article/ice-...
Inside the Nationwide Resistance to the ICE Invasions
The mass popular opposition to ICE “surges” led to a sea change in public opinion. Now organizers are asking: What’s next?

A Minnesota religious studies professor is facing six years in prison, with the DOJ saying he is part of an "antifa" conspiracy against ICE Erik Davis speaks out about his prosecution, largely based on a handful of his comments in Signal chats. He's not accused of any violence “It’s petty revenge"

Matt Keliher@mattkeliher.bsky.social · last wk.Elon Musk and his machine, xAI, are suing Minnesota for passing a law that bans nudification tech. The law forbids the use of public images to create sexualized content.

This is one legal way for folks to keep eyes on the polling place inside & be an alert, but please know your role is VERY limited. You only challenge a voter who you have personal knowledge shouldn’t vote, and otherwise stay the heck out of the way of election judges.

It’s been a little while since we’ve had a high level primary in the state’s DFL and it’s worth reminding everyone that they’re historically messy and a battle between more conservative and more progressive wings of the party/and rural vs suburban vs urban perspectives.
You know the John Hoffman story is a stinker for Angie because she had to break the Gwen Walz glass
The legacy media is reconsidering the White House Correspondence dinner because Trump insulted them. What they don't get is that they insulted their viewers and readers by attending in the first place. Support independent media that doesn't suck up to Trump whether he is nice to them or not.
Smdh. Way to breathe new life into the story, Rep. Craig.
