pretty wild Anders Folk is campaigning for Hennepin county attorney on a pledge to end the "Mary Moriarty era" on day one.

idk, seems like Mary’s the only one not rolling over and is fighting unrelentingly for our civil rights.

DFL’s Jewish Community Outreach Organization is unwilling to make a statement. As a member of JCOO and its Israel Subcommittee; I am disappointed, saddened, and shocked that our Executive Committee thinks the β€œtime is not right” for a statement.

I will not sit on the fence. I will not be silent.

We are heartbroken to wake up to news of American and Israeli military strikes in Iran.
These unjustifiable attacks are a dangerous escalation in Trump's scorched-earth
Middle East policy. President Trump values the wants of Netanyahu over the will of the American People. Furthered by the Trump Administration's repeated circumvention of Congressional approval to do so.

Hasty, reckless bombing leveled an elementary school in Iran. Local sources are already reporting dozens of civilian deaths.
As Jewish people and Americans, our voice needs to be loud, clear, and united against this heinous action carried out in our name.

This violence is unconscionable and illegal.
Immediate action must be taken by both the
US and Israeli governments to de-escalate tensions created by Trump and Netanyahu.
We urge Congress to bring Articles of Impeachment against President Trump. If not now, when?

I am publishing a statement here on this morning’s strikes of Iran carried out by the US and Israel.

As a Jewish DFLer it is imperative that we speak out. Additionally, I invite all support from the entire DFL community. Please sign on here to support this statement: forms.gle/8W5jfdMZuFjG...

Doron is absolutely correct: if this is "ending," I need to know that the ending looks like no feds in my city abducting my neighbors, and the neighbors who have been taken returned to their homes.

It also means prosecuting the agents who shot Renee, Alex, and Julio, who was shot in the leg.

Someone was abducted at 10 AM by ICE on Central Ave. Their coworker says they’ve lived here for over 20 years, are documented, and have 3 kids who were born here.

Don’t be fooled by headlines when they’ve been lying to us the whole time. We still need you out patrolling until every agent is gone.

It’s been another busy week dealing with the ICE occupation in Minneapolis, but I wanted to give you a Burrito update!

We started this project just over 5 weeks ago, and since then we’ve provided over 1150 meals for people, and spent almost $12k at local, immigrant-owned restaurants!

Authoritative bald headed friend, Chairman Martin. He's out there every day modeling an alternative kind of masculinity based on spreadsheets, parliamentary procedure, and gentle fact checks.

Sd62 chair here. This is specific to precincts within sd62. Sd63 is also at South and does not follow the same boundaries as sd62 for caucuses.

Hey @EducationMN, being rude to me & my staff will NOT help you get a meeting w/me. Sending ML Murphy's staff to scold me for not bending over backward to accommodate you won't work either.
Your status as a big DFL donor doesn't give you license to be a bully. Do better.

yes, the same judy seeberger who rants about education union lobbyists on twitter, and who wants to repeal seclusion laws so kids can be put in closets is angie craig’s idea of a good endorsement

unfortunate for hollies j winston!

angie craig mailers are arriving in mailboxes ahead of caucuses as she runs for minnesota senate on feb 3 and hollies j winston, mayor of brooklyn park, and sen judy seeberger apparently said the EXACT same thing, word for word, in their endorsement? (1/2)

To the young doc who helped Alex today. Thank you for trying, persisting. This is what we do in medicine, run towards the crisis. By all accounts, Alex would have done the same, and was murdered helping a peer. Know that you did good, and blessed a dying man with your hands. Be kind to yourself.

Federal agents have shot people in Minneapolis every week for the last 3 β€” killing 2. DHS/Trump admin have told increasingly brazen lies about each. Community here are more defiant, righteously angry than ever. Federal govt continues to be run by violent dipshit internet trolls.
