This is insider baseball shit but I think those of us who represent deep blue districts should not need or ask our caucuses to spend big to defend us. Every cent of the money pouring in to defend Latz should be going to battleground districts to defend their majority imo. end/

Endorsements aren’t everything but it’s notable that he has very little support from the elected officials he overlaps with. Both house reps have endorsed Lynette. Rep Youakim, no flaming DSA radical, worked for him for years as his closest staffer and she’s endorsed Lynette. 5/

I had a public response to him saying that Palestinian children dream of killing Jews (article above). The next time I saw him I greeted him and he told me to never speak to him again. I have obliged. I’ve had no particular reason to interact with him, these are just my personal experiences. 4/

What sticks out is when one of the testifier/survivors, a Muslim hijabi woman, made a specific reference to the abuse she had experienced Latz asked her “was he from your community?” Again I wish this had happened when I had 8 years in the leg under my belt rather than 8 weeks. 3/

If I’d been more experienced presenting a bill I would have intervened in some way. It was deeply inappropriate. They were incredibly upset, I was too. Honestly we all walked out of the room and cried. One of the women posted about it on the internet and Latz invited us to his office. 2/

I carried a repeal of the statute of limitations on sexual assault my 1st year in the legislature. We had a hearing in the public safety conference committee. I had community member survivors with me. Latz questioned them aggressively,repeating conservative talking points about false accusations 1/

I have a pair of new balance 13 EE and narrow adidas 14 both of which o bet will pinch. If there’s some magical 14EE firm ground cleats I’ll try them!

This is very helpful thank you!!

Turns out 49 1/3 in adidas EU sizes=14 so no dice!

Ok there seems to be size 48+ available on EU adidas site! This is helpful thank you!

American football cleats— won’t work unfortunately but thank you!

Presumably the fact that they are crossed out means they are theoretically available in these larger sizes? but I have not been able to actually find them😢

Ok I keep hearing these might work but for the couple months I’ve been looking there has never been a pair I can find actually in stock above size 13!

A year ago Angie Craig would have voted for this and if you’re grateful she didn’t now you should probably thank Peggy Flanagan’s campaign.

We've paid 12 families rents in less than two hours. I will keep taking signal requests for people that want to do this because it's the first thing that is working pretty seamlessly.

I said we were done asking for rent money. But today I heard the horrifying fact that there are zero family shelter beds in the entire state of Minnesota. So we are going to try something new. We are going to do peer to peer funding. You take on urgent‼️ funding for one family. You send to them.

ICE continues to separate children from their parents in Powderhorn Park. Alex was kidnapped by ICE on his way to work. Let’s reunite him with his son & family. Luz has been a strong advocate for our immigrant community in MN and now her son has to grow up without his father. gofund.me/e9f8947a2

Boosting this virtual training opportunity tomorrow (Wednesday!) Register in advance for this webinar: zoom.us/webinar/regi...

Twin Cities ICE Watch / Migra Watch - Wednesday, Dec 3, 2025 at 6pm CT

The Twin Cities is currently under federal occupation. Join States at the Core and Protect RP to learn important lessons from direct experiences on the ground in the neighborhoods in Chicago that most stood up to an even more intense Federal invasion from "Operation Midway Blitz"

This training will share important skills for documenting ICE activity and supporting neighbors in your community. ICE Watch is a key strategy being used by groups across the country to protect their communities against aggressive activity by ICE agents. Practicing ICE Watch protects our neighborhoods from immigration enforcement by ensuring our community members know their rights, have a plan, and know how to act in the event of targeting by ICE. In addition to covering the basics of ICE Watch, we will discuss new analysis on ICE operations and safety guidance.

When: Dec 3, 2025 06:00 PM Central Time
Register in advance for this webinar:

A Trump supporter started murdering his way through an assassination list of Democratic law makers FIVE MONTHS AGO. He murdered my colleague Melissa Hortman, and her husband Mark — and attempted to assassinate my dear friend John Hoffman and his wife Yvette. I was also on the hit list. WTF

I’m sharing this All of Mpls email because I hope everyone (including journalists - especially you) will contrast Frey supporters’ rhetoric (and ex-Frey staffer Jacob Hill here) with the sincere testimony of Maddie Love. This kind of shitty, cynical game-playing is a reason a lot of us oppose Frey.

Earlier this month, Senator Omar Fateh claimed the DFL endorsement after an illegitimate, sham process that is facing scores of challenges from delegates across the political spectrum. As former State Party Chair Mike Erlandson said, it was "the most unfair and procedurally flawed process" he had witnessed in his 43 years of
attending DFL conventions. If not for the cheating, mismanagement, and absence of any mayoral endorsement ballots actually counted, Fateh would not have collected the 60% of delegate votes necessary to be endorsed. All of Mpls is spearheading the efforts to get the State DFL to take these challenges seriously and restore integrity to the endorsement process. We'll keep you updated
as these challenges progress. On the bright side, Minneapolis has seen a significant decrease in crime this year, with some metrics beginning to approach pre-Pandemic levels. This is major progress that is in jeopardy given the very public stance of Senator Fateh to defund and dismantle the Minneapolis Police
Department. On top of this, our City Council majority is likely to be decided by a few hundred votes in a couple of wards, as it has been the last two election cycles. All of Mpls is preparing to contact over a hundred thousand voters with targeted
media, grassroots organizing, and direct voter contacts. When voters go to the ballot box fully informed, we are confident they will choose a pragmatic progressive majority
willing to work with the Mayor. In order to do that, we need resources and we need to make a statement at this end-of-month deadline. Please chip in today to help us show that Minneapolis stands united against the flood of national DSA money headed to prop
up Omar Fateh and his allied campaigns.
Thank you for your support!
Jacob Hill
Executive Director, All of Mpls

Ethically, Andy Brehm should tell readers he’s a Jacob Frey donor. Journalistically, Star Tribune editors must. www.startribune.com/dsa-public-s...

Brehm’s three $250 donations to Minneapolis mayor Jacob Frey in 2023-24.

If the guy who writes my favorite Frey PAC email blasts was at the mic calling for a quorum check as the Frey campaign is texting supporters to leave the convention, am I obligated to play dumb about it?

I know Omar’s answer. At every point during his service, he has stood for the interests of working people & against corporations. Even when it has been hard, even when it’s been unpopular. Omar has a joyful vision of a Minneapolis where everyone can thrive & afford their lives

Make no mistake, we cannot have an economy that serves the needs of working people AND the needs of billionaires and corporations. I confront this reality every day in my work on the tax committee. The Minneapolis mayor has to answer similar questions: which side are you on?

We have Elon, pharma, big oil and big tech at the federal level. Amazon, Google and Meta pushing their dirty data centers at the state. Billionaire sports team owners and developers looking for a local handout. These are all part of the same story.
