I don’t know who these people are —or who this person is — and I don’t care (as in please don’t explain to me who it is, I don’t care) but absolutely unconscionable to compare my colleague Senator Fateh to Platner. You can dislike people and their politics, but this is beyond the pale.

Minnesota has been dealing with the most despicable violence from federal agents, with help from local law enforcement, as a result of racist rhetoric like this for months. At a time when law enforcement should be rebuilding trust with the community, Bob Fletcher continues spewing this rhetoric.

learned from strib that dawanna witt's campaign manager is alex lewison, who was the deputy treasurer for rich stanek's campaign against dave hutchinson for hennepin county sheriff yet DFL delegates were told to endorse witt at convention to avoid a return to republican aka stanek era?

Please read and sign on to this open letter calling for the stepping down or removal of Latonya Reeves for malfeasance, per Article 7 of the DFL Constitution and Bylaws. SIGN HERE: forms.gle/UjsMCUrRWKKj...
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

On May 9th, after Latonya Reeves withdrew from seeking the endorsement, the convention of delegates in Congressional District 5 endorsed incumbent Representative Ilhan Omar. Representative Omar is the duly endorsed DFL candidate.

Section 7 of the DFL Constitution and Bylaws states:

An endorsement requires the State DFL Party, all DFL Party units, all individuals elected or appointed to positions within the DFL Party, and all paid DFL Party staff to support a candidate for public office in public statements and in the execution of any party duties. Failure to satisfy this requirement constitutes nonfeasance.

An endorsement also prohibits the above DFL individuals and entities, as well as DFL-endorsed candidates, from providing support to candidates running against DFL-endorsed candidates. This prohibition extends to support for any position on a Public Ballot Question contrary to a DFL-endorsed position. Support under this section may include, but is not limited to, direct voter contact, donations and participation in fundraising activities, public or widely distributed statements of support, and distribution of campaign materials. Actions that violate this prohibition constitute malfeasance.

Ms. Reeves is continuing her campaign against Ilhan Omar, seeking to continue into the primary.

Ms. Reeves also holds multiple positions within the DFL, including but not limited to membership in the Democratic National Committee as a delegate for Minnesota. This membership is something she touts on her website:

"I'm running because we need leadership that will get the job done. As a member of the DNC I work hard to empower disaffected and disenfranchised voters across all demographics, encourage and support them to recognize their potential, and work towards finding energized Democrats to run for office. MAGA legislators are attempting to take away voting rights of millions of marginalized people just so they can stay in power.

Outside of the drab sanctuaries and interminable coffee hours of the Lutheran faith, not many know that one of the 95 Theses was actually "The Church has strayed too far from its liturgical mandate to Give Ilhan Omar a Gundam." It's been represented in many historical depictions of Luther's work

Angie Craig has no excuse for not helping with interpretation costs at DFL conventions. Small campaigns found ways to live our DFL values. I'm tired of high profile candidates who won't do it too. I'm glad Filipovich for state auditor helped too, but where are the other 3 candidates?

I’m spending half of my weekend inside volunteering at a convention. Same goes for the next few weekends. It’s not because I love conventions. It’s because I love my friends, some of whom I haven’t seen in months due to ongoing ICE activity. I’d sit inside on a sunny day for them anyday.

Can anyone believe that Homan (who was on video accepting a $50k bribe) or anyone in the Trump admin is negotiating in good faith? Minnesota (looking at you, Gov and Mpls Mayor) should take it's defense of the justice system seriously. We're the backstop to this fascist regime. Don't trust them.

Look how young the abductee looks. Do you see the sheriff deputies blocking observers? This is the behavior that our mayor and governor are negotiating to allow. To quote MLK, they are working towards a negative peace, not the presence of justice.

washington county republicans’ facebook post about anders folk speaking to them on 2/7. he is seeking DFL endorsement in running for hennepin county attorney
Washington County Repu...
Anders Folk reviewed an extensive resume that qualifies him to be the Hennepin County Attorney.
That role is the chief prosecutor for the County, provides legal counsel to Hennepin County Commissioners and government components, and sets the agenda for public safety. The office employs 500 and has a budget of $90M. Folk has a law degree from the U of MN and served in the Marine Corps as a Judge Advocate. With his experience as an Assistant US Attorney, he prosecuted cases in the Counter Terrorism unit.
His plan for the office, if elected, is: 1) Strategic enforcement to take the most dangerous criminals off the streets 2) Prevention and Intervention - finding those most at risk of committing crimes and offering help with school, jobs, etc. and 3) Collaborative leadership in law enforcement and public safety. He answered many questions covering the severe staff shortage in the US Attorney's Office that is hampering investigations; the police shortage in Minneapolis with only 600 officers that could not provide enough support for 3,000 Federal ICE agents; and the value of getting gangs and organized crime out of neighborhoods. He will be seeking DFL endorsement.

I love that he's fully in support of a "first wave" approach of providing for parental economic needs, but also jumping into a "second wave". @mayor.nyc.gov embraces the fun & on-your-toes attitude that's required to make kids a chosen part of public spaces, instead of just an afterthought.

Kare 11 local news just read, in full, this statement from Michael and Susan Pretti, the parents of Alex Pretti. "Please get the truth out about our son."
Statement from Michael and Susan Pretti
Parents of Alex Jeffrey Pretti

“We are heartbroken but also very angry.

Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately, he will not be with us to see his impact.

I do not throw around the ‘hero’ term lightly. However, his last thought and act was to protect a woman. The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump’s murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He had his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down, all while being pepper sprayed. 

Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you.
