We've seen some pretty weak ass anti-tax Strib op-eds, but pearl clutching over a small tax on massive social media platforms is beyond parody.
So glad we have the Freedom Foundation standing up for our rights; I'm sure they are really good faith actors.

yes it is and thank you for naming it
After recovering from another successful convention this weekend, my campaign for CD5 DFL Chair continues. And my website is now live. In the coming weeks, I'll continue to reach out to delegates and alternates to the CD5 convention.🧵

I especially want to highlight the endorsement of our new Minneapolis DFL Chair, Ayana Smith-Kooiman, and Vice Chair Eli Sherman.
As the largest city in the district, it's critical that Minneapolis DFL and CD5 DFL work effectively together.

Someone was taken near 20th & Central tonight at 10 PM. Within 5 minutes, there were over 20 people on a call and even more people on foot in the area to respond.
Congratulations to SD63's own Ayana Smith-Kooiman on her election as Chair of the Minneapolis DFL. Grateful for her leadership on this essential role!

Your new Minneapolis DFL Chair and Vice Chair! Thank you so much to everyone who made convention yesterday happen! We had such a blast! @ayanajsk.bsky.social and l are honored to have been elected! So much so this is the only picture we managed to take together yesterday. #Minneapolis #DFL
Please think about screening for a position in our congressional district DFL. Good party volunteers help make sure good conventions happen 🙌🏾
And we need more volunteers, as Josh said yesterday at the Minneapolis DFL Convention, where he spent most of the day at the mic being supervolunteer.
💜💜💜
I love Minneapolis. Grateful to know so many people who make home such a great place to live. Serving as vice chair as MPLS DFL allowed me to see how local issues affect national politics. @ayanajsk.bsky.social @elitalksmpls.bsky.social are going to do great work with us 💙
had a great Mpls DFL convention today and saw my friends get elected to some great party office positions, as well as getting endorsed! hurrah!
I am so honored that you asked me to run alongside you. I cannot wait to see what we do together.
Thank you to everyone for believing in us! Let’s get to work!

Ayana Smith-Kooiman and Eli Sherman elected Minneapolis DFL chair and vice chair. Happy city DFL leadership election to those who celebrate.
Your new Minneapolis DFL vice chair @elitalksmpls.bsky.social and Larry!
And one big thank you to the delegation. After adjournment, a woman came up to me and said she follows me on tiktok and that I'm the reason she came to convention today. These interactions are why I do this work.
Thank you for your trust & confidence. Let's get to work 💜
Thank you to @joshmartinmpls.bsky.social for holding it down on stage for credentials and constitution discussions. I can't wait to learn from you and work with you! Josh is running for CD5 DFL Chair, and I can't wait to vote for him this may at our CD5 Convention!
Huge thanks to @jpmrst.bsky.social for taking on the role of chair when we were at a breaking point and keeping the train on the tracks. Because of his amazing work, we have a functioning unit and good infrastructure to build off of for our future.
I want to thank my Vice Chair @elitalksmpls.bsky.social! I think we're going to do amazing work together. I also want to congratulate the rest of the officers - Jake, Alexis, Blanca, Meghan, Danny, Nick, and Avery for their elections.
Newly elected Minneapolis DFL Chair, Ayana Smith-Kooiman and Hennepin County Commissioner, Angela Conley
As of about 3:30 PM, April 18, 2026, I am Chair of the Minneapolis DFL. Thank you to the delegates for trusting me and my vision for the future of our unit. I believe I am the first Black woman to hold this position, and I do not talk that lightly. Representation matters.
Thank you!!! ❤️
Congrats @ayanajsk.bsky.social and @elitalksmpls.bsky.social on your election as Minneapolis DFL Chair and Vice-Chair (respectively)!!!
instead of booing or standing, I've taken to reading heated rivalry during speeches
