Rep. Adelita Grijalva said she was pepper-sprayed and pushed around during an ICE raid in Tucson, Arizona, a claim that the Department of Homeland Security swiftly disputed.

We won’t be silent or complicit. We stand with the Somali community here in Minneapolis.

Now that there’s a big crowd of responders I’m headed home. My summary is this: I don’t *think * it’s an ICE raid per se, but an HSI, DEA, FBI operation executing a warrant. Which is not to say people shouldn’t mobilize and get out on the streets.
About 20 cars worth of agents, half of them masked.

About 30 cars of ICE and DEA agents staging st Newell park in St. Paul

JUST IN: "Newly Elected Minneapolis Council Members Pledge Collaboration at City Hall"

newly elected pearll warren, elizabeth shaffer, soren stevenson, and jamison whiting have released a statement pledging to build "a more collaborative, respectful, and effective culture at City Hall." (1/2)

Some Minneapolis City Council news:

Incoming City Council Members Stevenson, Warren, Whiting, and Shaffer have released a joint letter pledging to build a more collaborative culture at City Hall.

Bernie Sanders endorses Peggy Flanagan in race for U.S. Senate seat in Minnesota Flanagan, who is currently the state’s lieutenant governor, faces U.S. Rep. Angie Craig for the Democratic nomination next year.

U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders has endorsed Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan in the race for Minnesota’s open Senate seat.

We cannot afford a divided and weak opposition party when an authoritarian is invading our cities, terrorizing our communities, and corruptly self-enriching at the expense of the rest of us. We want to celebrate a Democratic Party that fights back. But after this latest surrender, the next step is primaries and new leadership. We get the party we demand, and we intend to demand one that fights.

Republicans haven’t given us a single reason to believe they will allow a vote on extending ACA subsidies. Senate Democrats should NOT take this deal.

Today and tomorrow we wish a beautiful and meaningful Day of the Dead (Día De Los Muertos) to all who are celebrating in Minnesota.

We remember and honor those who have left us and who will return home in spirit. 🕯️

Hennepin Avenue is officially open!

Mayor Jacob Frey, council members Aisha Chughtai and Katie Cashman, public works staff, and small business owners were in attendance.

Cars are now moving freely on the street.

the first cars are driving on hennepin ave. @rudyfunkmeyer.bsky.social pointed out they should’ve had the mayor or someone driving the first car for a photo op

No, the C-Suite Does Not Need Our Help Election Day is in seven days. While most voters are paying attention to the Mayor’s race, I have been deeply involved in my City Council…

Election Day is in one week. I voted for @katiecashman.bsky.social because we don’t need a C-Suite defender on the Council.

Last night, MN AG Keith Ellison launched his re-election campaign for a third term.

The event was well-attended, and included multiple state legislators, labor, farm, and public health leaders, as well as Governor Tim Walz.

Fact check: she said Martin Luther Jr.

For the last several months, the Ward 11 race has been slowly evolving into an episode of COPS, now you know why!

A very angry man has been harassing the Jamison Whiting campaign by stealing signs across the Ward.

Please pitch in if you can to help replace them!

one day the ward 11 story will be told, but @rudyfunkmeyer.bsky.social is so accurate

G’mar chatima tovah to all who are observing Yom Kippur today.

May this new year be one of strength, prosperity, and joy for you and your loved ones.

Bahahaha what a weak-willed and spineless man. New York is better off without Eric Adams.

Thank you to the CD8 DFL for hosting another outstanding Oberstar Dinner!
