Steve Hilton, the next governor won't solve homelessness by demonizing people living on the streets. Luckily you'll never be governor.

SPLC Union Logo: Yesterday, the Department of Justice leveled outrageous allegations at the Southern Poverty Law Center. In so doing, they maligned the integrity of the SPLC workers who have labored tirelessly for decades to expose the dangerous cruelty of extremists and hate groups in the United States.

SPLC Union Logo: This work is punishing. It takes a toll on our health and on our safety. But we persist because we believe in our mission to advance justice for all, and we believe that investigating, naming, and alerting the American people to the activities of those who seek to harm our neighbors is a moral imperative and an essential public service.

Today our colleagues are facing abuse and harassment from the far-right figures emboldened by this attack. But we will not be deterred, we will not be intimidated, and we will continue to name racism, sexism, antisemitism, Islamophobia, homophobia, and all hate for the blight that it is.

Below is a statement from the unionized workers of the Southern Poverty Law Center.

Racism is not something you "get over," Chad Bianco. It's something you fight.

Council Member Chavez’s Statement on After Action Review Regarding the Shooting of Davis Moturi and the Death of Allison Lussier Dear neighbor, This morning, we held a joint Audit Committee and Minneapolis City Council meeting regarding the after action reviews to assess the City of Minneapolis’ handling of the shooting of Davis Moturi and the death of Allison Lussier. The findings from today’s after action reviews are deeply troubling. They reveal a pattern of systemic failures that had real consequences for people, for their families, and for the communities who trusted this city to keep them safe. Here is what the reviews found: Officers demonstrated inconsistent understanding of critical legal and procedural tools such as the distinction between Harassment Restraining Orders and Orders for Protection; warrant execution limits; and the “72 Hour Rule.” These differences influenced arrest decisions, case escalation, and, importantly, the accuracy of information provided to victims. In the Lussier case, differing views on Crime Lab involvement highlighted the need for more consistent protocols around scene processing and evidence preservation. Reporting practices varied widely, including incomplete witness statements, missing victim forms, inconsistent injury documentation, and inconsistent use of flags for bias, weapons, or repeat conduct. In the Moturi case, documentation of officer follow‑up was inconsistent, reducing situational awareness across shifts. In the Lussier case, incomplete early documentation weakened later investigations. Importantly, MPD did not obtain the Medical Examiner’s report for its homicide investigation until the audit team requested it. Information did not consistently reach officers or investigators across units or shifts, resulting in missed opportunities for escalation. In the Moturi case, a gun‑threat report was not escalated before the shooting. In the Lussier case, inconsistent communication with the Medical Examin…

These findings are horrific. They describe a department that failed at nearly every level. From how it applied the law, how it gathered evidence, how it communicated, and how it spoke to the public. These are failures. The families of Davis Moturi and Allison Lussier deserve more than a report. They deserve accountability, and they deserve change. That is why I am committed to bringing the Mayor’s administration before the Public Health, Safety, and Equity Committee to conduct regular, public reporting on the status of the recommendations that came out of today’s review. They must be tracked, implemented, and reported on so that this Council and this community can hold the administration accountable for follow-through. We owe that to these families. We owe that to every Minneapolis resident who deserves a public safety system that actually works. Sincerely, Jason Chavez

Some candidates talk about Earth Day, I get out and work. Today I volunteered with Needlepoint Sanctuary and helped clean up Bangor's Waterfront. Armed with a giant trash bag, a bucket, grabbers, and a sharps container, my mom and I got the job done. Watch to the end for a cute photo of us.

Repealing clean air protections is short-sighted and a betrayal of the American people's health and well-being.

As a doctor, I was a firm NO. We're never going to stop fighting for the right to breathe clean air.

Good luck, Katie!!

Here are the questions Raskin wants Patel to answer: tinyurl.com/528pdfs3

The words Earth Day appear an aurora filled sky and above two sets of hands holding a dirts with a plant growing out of it.

From protecting the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness to investing in clean energy, the DFL is committed to celebrating Earth Day every day.

John Phelan is a businessman with no prior military service. "He and wife previously fundraised millions of dollars Donald Trump’s campaign before he was confirmed as Navy secretary in 2025." In other words he was incompetent but loyal/corrupt. Now our Navy is a mess. This is 100% on Trump!

Holy sh*t

THIS IS THE KIND OF AD DEMOCRATS NEED TO MAKE!!!

Expose Republicans as the out-of-touch ASSH*LES they are.

SPREAD THIS EVERYWHERE!!

#EarthDay

the DFL Code of Conduct Committee has a clear record of closing ranks to protect their centrist, long-serving allies within the party, while disproportionately ruling against progressives and newcomers time and time again. this system is broken, harmful, and a liability. it needs to go

Outrageous. @chiosse.bsky.social was protecting one of his neighbors from eviction, as a result of deed theft — a plague in Central Brooklyn right now. There was no reason for NYPD officers to roughly throw him to the ground. It sure doesn’t make anyone safer. Release him now.

As a Commissioner on the Minneapolis Charter Commission, I want to explain clearly why I cannot support the proposed charter amendment as written. This comes down to structure, process, and public trust. ⬇️

No, this is no way to run a country.

No more law enforcement. People need housing, food, Healthcare, and safety from abusive law enforcement.

Californians can't afford polite when it comes to what's keeping us up at night. That’s what I'm focused on.

Anyone can make promises about being Governor. I’m the only leading candidate who has spent her career taking on powerful special interests for working people—and yes, I didn't always get it done by being polite.

The majority of the American people want universal health care.

Under Medicare for All, you get a government-issued insurance card at birth that you can use your entire life. This way, we can actually cut down on costs and focus on preventive care.

200,000 acres of Native Hawaiian land. 100 years of federal trust obligation.

Trump's move: reclassify them as a racial group, not a tribal nation. Same land. New legal category. Zero obligation.

That's not a budget cut. That's a legal erasure. #taxtherich
