I've said this before on other items du jour but if I did my job so bad that it cost the city 8 digits of real money, I would be killed, not fired. Take the mercy guys.

Republican politicians sold out our waters for the profits of a Chilean billionaire. But the fight continues.
My legislation, the Boundary Waters Wilderness Protection and Pollution Prevention Act, would permanently protect the pristine waters of the BWCA for future generations.

Last week, the Minneapolis City Council approved a contract for the Emergency Housing Voucher (EHV) program meant to address unsheltered homelessness. 1/
A party finding its way back from the wilderness can’t afford to waste its time removing the growing and energetic part of its base. We’re proud to stand with @mydfl.bsky.social , the DFL Progressive Caucus, and the DFL Disability Caucus in working to build the party, not tearing it down.
We, along with the @dflprogressives.bsky.social, @stonewalldfl.bsky.social, and the DFL Disability Caucus stand united in building and maintaining a Party that is welcoming and open to all.
We are stronger when we come together and celebrate diversity of all kinds—including diversity of thought.
Looks like the internet is having a hard time of it today.
A nationwide warrant has been issued in the first criminal charges against an ICE agent for on-duty actions during the enforcement surge in Minnesota.
A dark teal graphic with centered white text that reads "Nearly 40,000 people participated in DFL caucus night this year. They came with a wide range of viewpoints and opinions but chose to make a statement by engaging in our party. Since then, I’ve traveled across Minnesota and seen the energy in our organizing unit conventions firsthand. It’s real, and much of it is being shaped by the frustration coming out of Operation Metro Surge. DFLers are tired of the cruelty and the constant overreach of this administration. That’s what makes gimmicks like this so extremely disappointing and exhausting. This is the kind of stuff that makes people wary of engaging in any kind of partisan political activity. At a time of creeping fascism, we should be looking for ways to continue to expand our coalition, not shrink it. There will always be people in this party whose views, tactics, and even personalities don’t align with yours. And that’s okay. But if the whole history of our party has actually taught us anything, from 1968 to 2024, it’s that we win when we do everything in our power to bring voices to the table and lose when we decide to shut voices out. Anything less misses the moment we’re in. We can and should do better — the question is: will we?"
I posted this message elsewhere, but I think it’s important, as a party leader, to clearly call out what thehumphreyproject.com is: a divisive gimmick designed to split our party heading into our state convention. We have so many new people excited to enagnge in our party — we have to do better.
Gotta say, I'm a big Stegosaurus fan. It's got a thagomizer!
Hello fellow individual who is also wrecked emotionally whenever they hear "Everything's Alright".
In Minnesota, we're putting people over profits. Kalshi and Polymarket are both "prediction markets" that the Trump family have invested in, and they are used to turn the assassination of foreign leaders or the outbreak of war into a money-making scheme. #kalshi #polymarket #mn #predictionmarkets
Last weekend, I had the pleasure of attending conventions on Sat in Eden Prairie, Bloomington, Minneapolis, Eagan, and my own convention on Sun in Saint Paul.
I was also surprised to see Sen. Klobuchar out for the first time on the campaign trail.
But there's a thing here that has me concerned.
MN50501 volunteer observers counted 18 people, including three women, being loaded at MSP on today's ICE flight.
Join us at the airport authority meeting on Monday at 1:00 PM to demand accountability from Delta Air Lines.
If Delta didn't operate this flight, why are we demanding accountability? 👇🧵

on the other side of this: normalize ADMITTING you didn't know something.
This song and dance yall do where you make an entire ass of yourself, get corrected, then just end it with 👍 or saying 'ok thank you!' like you weren't loud and wrong is annoying.
Admitting you were out of pocket is easy.

ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — Minnesota county investigates ICE arrest of Hmong American man as a potential case of kidnapping and false imprisonment.
Sexual assault, domestic abuse, and harassment allegations must always be taken seriously. Victims who step forward to share these stories show great courage.
The allegations against Rep. Swalwell, Rep. Gonzales, and Rep. Mills are deeply disturbing. All three must resign or be expelled.
Whenever possible, I've tried to share stories of the Occupation happening outside the Twin Cities. Here's another:
