The reality is that HCMC would have already closed, had the County Board not intervened last year. Now, it’s time for the legislature to act on the County’s proposed sales-tax solution for dedicated revenue for HCMC

In all of the chaos that we are currently living though, Stonewall DFL wants take a moment to recognize those putting on conventions around the State of Minnesota. We have heard of some conventions that have upwards of 80% of first time delegates, which is amazing!
Outside of the drab sanctuaries and interminable coffee hours of the Lutheran faith, not many know that one of the 95 Theses was actually "The Church has strayed too far from its liturgical mandate to Give Ilhan Omar a Gundam." It's been represented in many historical depictions of Luther's work
We saw the way she went after vinegar dude, @ilhanmn.bsky.social doesn't wait for her security team to act anyways. The one-time cost of a self-piloted gundam would be far more budget-friendly in the long run.
No shade to her excellent security team, we just know Ilhan is badass on her own.
Angie Craig has no excuse for not helping with interpretation costs at DFL conventions. Small campaigns found ways to live our DFL values. I'm tired of high profile candidates who won't do it too.
I'm glad Filipovich for state auditor helped too, but where are the other 3 candidates?
They’ve tried convincing us Scott Graham is good for the DFL. They’ve now abandoned that and tried convincing us Scott Graham is from Earth
When Nick Shirley, Lisa Demuth, and House Republicans attacked our Somali neighbors, we stood up.
When reporters and activists were arrested, we stood up.
When our immigrant neighbors were kidnapped, we stood up.
When our partners in this work were murdered, we stood up.
Why should we sit now?
A post that states “My condolences to those who still plan to spend all day inside at the DFL convention” on the other app.
I’m spending half of my weekend inside volunteering at a convention. Same goes for the next few weekends.
It’s not because I love conventions.
It’s because I love my friends, some of whom I haven’t seen in months due to ongoing ICE activity.
I’d sit inside on a sunny day for them anyday.
Why would anyone vote for us if we stand for nothing?
"Doctors diagnose based on patterns that are consistent over time, how it affects daily life, and... use treatments to reduce suffering and improve quality of life."
The same is true for depression and anxiety and other diagnoses. Treatment of gender dysphoria ought to be viewed the same.
True, not sure who was helping her during the convention season. As a DFL officer, he shouldn't have been touching a campaign that summer/fall since the convention voted for no endorsement. But without any donors throwing fits, guess it didn't matter.
when one of my enemies falls, another arises
Having the chair of our largest CD call a meeting to remove a SEC director elected at convention while having no way to credential and ensure votes are tallied while fascism breaks down our door is the shot. Doing this is front of the Secretary of State is the chaser.
the man in charge of our elections watching Scott Graham not confirm eligible voters before taking vote:
When this guy was her campaign manager, I knew it was gonna be interesting... bsky.app/profile/tayl...
This is her campaign manager, a search on him will give you plenty of context. bsky.app/profile/what...
I find it pretty gross how consistently DFL “leaders” believe the rules are an inconvenience when they’re called on not following them
@jasoncomix.bsky.social and @christin612.bsky.social have done incredible work organizing this response to keep people fed while ICE is terrorizing our city. They are such assets to our community. Thank you to everyone who is helping our neighbors during this horrific time!
Can anyone believe that Homan (who was on video accepting a $50k bribe) or anyone in the Trump admin is negotiating in good faith?
Minnesota (looking at you, Gov and Mpls Mayor) should take it's defense of the justice system seriously. We're the backstop to this fascist regime. Don't trust them.

Look how young the abductee looks. Do you see the sheriff deputies blocking observers?
This is the behavior that our mayor and governor are negotiating to allow.
To quote MLK, they are working towards a negative peace, not the presence of justice.
washington county republicans’ facebook post about anders folk speaking to them on 2/7. he is seeking DFL endorsement in running for hennepin county attorney
Minneapolis is still under siege. Homan is just quieter about it than Bovino. We still desperately need help, and resistance, and the abolition of ICE.
Phew, slightly less concerning, but only slightly. Everyone else there were either campaign staff or party insiders or press... That's still horrid conduct for any of those 3 groups too.
Where was Richard?! This behavior should have been addressed right away by the party chair with an immediate rebuke.
And who's the DFL elected official who's booing Ilhan's team? She's getting attacked by Trump on the regular, how about we chill on the friendly fire, m'kay?
Personal Me: this is peak Angie Craig. Local businesses supporting our communities all over the Twin Cities, she picks a coffee chain where the union organizers are currently asking for support against union busting. Read the room, Angie.
Is he attempting Blue Steel? 🤣
Statement from Jacob Thomas with Common Defense:
I love that he's fully in support of a "first wave" approach of providing for parental economic needs, but also jumping into a "second wave".
@mayor.nyc.gov embraces the fun & on-your-toes attitude that's required to make kids a chosen part of public spaces, instead of just an afterthought.
Correcting the record - thank you to @dfl.org for covering security costs. Sorry to be mistaken on that.
Continued thanks to the senate district chairs in Mpls & St. Paul for their extensive work to put on caucuses & adapt and advocate for measures to make them more equitable & safe for all.
