The fact that striking Iran can be put on hold for weeks in an attempt to sway the midterms clear proof that Iran doesn’t pose an imminent danger and this war is an evil charade

As my hero, Paul Wellstone said: You will always know where I stand, and who I stand up for.

I should have mentioned that my office is Minneapolis Elections & Voter Services. The Mayor's budget eliminates seven staff members less than two weeks before an anxiety-inducing midterm. No more high school election judge program. No more voter outreach.

Trump’s goal is to intimidate me and get me to back down. That’s not going to happen. I will not be silenced, and I will not stop fighting for my constituents.

Thanks for always having my back ❤️ see you on the campaign trail.

THEY ARE NOT POWERLESS TO STOP HIM! Go back to Washington, stand on the steps of the Capitol and demand Johnson and Thune recall the House and Senate, and impeach him. THIS IS HOW IT IS SUPPOSED TO WORK! THERE IS LITERALLY AN INSTRUCTION MANUAL! (It's called the Constitution.)

To be clear, evil billionaire scumbag Zuckerberg shutting down the official No Kings account in the middle of nationwide protests isn’t a mistake, it’s an assault on a free speech and expression, it’s pure fascism.

🫡🇺🇸...

On Tuesday, we filed a motion for summary judgment in our Touhy lawsuit against the federal government in Good and Pretti killings and the Sosa-Celis shooting. We are asking the court to order the government to give us all of the evidence in those cases.

Thank you to everyone who stood with me over the years. It’s been a scary journey but I have always been grounded in my work and ability to provide exemplary service to my constituents. Trump and his administration have been after me since I arrived in Congress.

tired: bluesky is dying wired: bluesky is slowly turning into a minnesota-only social media network. Soon it will become another local curiosity like saying "parking ramp" instead of "parking garage" and playing duck duck gray duck

Give Klobuchar a DFL House and Senate, and there will be plenty of positive policy and budget movement. Give DeMuth a DFL House and Senate, and we'll be lucky to have a state budget next year. Primary is the time for protest voting. General is to vote for the least-bad viable candidate.

Hard not to notice that Democrats who are doing the best are the ones who are leaving this whole civility-and-norms, we-go-high, we-need-a-strong-Republican-Party bullshit behind and are simply giving Republicans exactly what they all ought to get at all times, which is undisguised contempt.

Quick! Now that Russian data center bot farms are down let's push through: - Medicare for all - Abolish ICE - End Citizens United - Remove the Electoral College - Reinstate SNAP - Solidify Social Security - Moratorium on data centers - Protect abortions - Impeach/remove every MAGA loyalist in office

Update!! Moved to Powderhorn park

I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

Ruin a book by adding a word: Burning The Bridges of Madison County

Trump’s obsession with demonizing the Somali community is dangerous and reprehensible. Hate to break it to him: Somali Minnesotans are resilient. We will not let Trump intimidate us. Our neighbors have our back.

the fact that so many somali people traversed to the united states and have chosen minnesota as their home is one of the single greatest things about our state and our community and this is a belief i am extremely prepared to defend in any way necessary

The president of the United States is inciting a fucking pogrom.

They started texting with a 16-year-old. After two years, they offered to sell him a gun. They consider that "stopping a terrorist attack." And they are calling it heroic. What an absolute embarrassment.

It’s really remarkable to me that 10 years into this people feel compelled to “clarify” Trump’s homicidal and often genocidal fantasies. It is deranged for the president to daydream about American cities in states he hates getting blown up. Full stop.

A year ago, @propublica.org told you immigration agents had detained more than 170 U.S. citizens. We’ve updated our count, and we’ve got all the receipts. The tally: At least 506 citizens detained. Sometimes held at gunpoint, handcuffed, or even deported. projects.propublica.org/american-cit...

Trump: "With the war, it's just artificial. It's a little bit high. It's a small price to pay ... let them take out Los Angeles, let them take out San Diego. This is a very small price to pay."

My mom worked hard, but sometimes she needed help to make ends meet. SNAP kept food on the table, and Medicaid paid my hospital bills when I had chronic asthma. If we had more leaders who knew what that felt like, we wouldn’t have passed Trump’s Big Ugly Bill.

They spend all this time and money defending Richard Nixon but can’t prosecute the men in the Epstein Files?

Disability rights advocates are angered by the latest reversal but are rallying behind proposed legislation and working with states to strengthen protections for community integration. trib.al/teEenpZ

Becca Good speaking for the first time publicly about her late wife Renee Good at a press conference announcing lawsuits against the U.S. government, ICE agent Jonathan Ross — who shot and killed Renee Good — and high-ranking Trump administration officials

thehill.com/policy/natio... I can't believe were doing this again, another ICE surge, and right before the midterms too.

Why did Eric Schmitt fuck up his gotcha moment so badly? No one involved considered the possibility that Jack Smith attended a women’s basketball game. A MAGAt undone by misogyny. Not at all surprising.

Before calling someone a “dirtbag,” the Senator should have had his facts straight. An apology is in order. Glad one of us knew the difference between the Atlanta Hawks and the Iowa Hawkeyes!

There’s still time to help shape the future of Minneapolis. Share your ideas for Minneapolis 2050, the city’s next comprehensive plan, by taking our survey in English, Español, Hmoob or Soomaali: www.surveymonkey.com/r/FXTMXZQ

The Education Department today removed the Biden-era Title IX rule that addressed discrimination against students based on sexual orientation or gender identity.

International human rights organization Amnesty International has called for the abolition of ICE for the first time in a new report alleging human rights abuses in the Trump administration’s immigration operations.

Since Trump took office, the richest 0.1% of Americans have gained more than 8,000 TIMES as much wealth as the bottom 50% of households.

I hate all the drug commercials. "Oh you're less than human and your disease keeps you away from your friends. Blah blah blah." First, if your friends can't accommodate your needs then they're not your friends. Second, only abusers remind you of your pain points and say only they can "fix" you ffs

One year ago, Minnesota was forever changed by a senseless act of violence at Annunciation Catholic Church and School. Today, we remember Harper. We remember Fletcher. We hold our kids close enough to feel their hearts beat and we move our feet towards peace.

This is fascism.

It’s officially Save the Boundary Waters Day in Minnesota 🛶

I’m using my executive authority to ban nonferrous mining in the Boundary Waters.    As far as my administration is concerned, the fight for the future of the Boundary Waters is over. The verdict is in. The decision is made. We will protect this place.

I'm so tired of this shit. Trumpism has stolen the last 10 years of my mental health and he keeps dragging on, making life worse for everyone. I hate living here, functionally depressed trying to find any joy in the small things when I want big things like universal health care and abolishing ICE.
