What lawmakers? Sounds like it’s just the same folks who opposed the law from the start, but if it’s anyone hoping to hold elected office, we should make sure they lose their elections.

Happy first day of voting Minnesota! I’ll be voting today and door knocking tomorrow. We have 47 days. Let’s go.

A lot of political commentary these days is on the question: is All This a break from our past, or a continuation of it? @radleybalko.bsky.social with an convincing case for the latter: www.nytimes.com/2026/09/10/o...

Apparently the app we’ve been using for internal notifications of emergencies (e.g. lockdowns) has pivoted to being a gambling app. Nightmare timeline.

We’ve become fair people. Went twice because after a full day Friday there was still more we wanted to do/see. No regrets.

I voted early in July, and today I was finally able to do some door knocking. My kids love door knocking (I think it reminds them of Halloween), and I hope they always do. We have to work for what we want. Proud to support Peggy and so many talented progressives in Minnesota.

National Night Out has become a minor holiday for us. I look forward to it every year. Shutting down the street might be my favorite part, but I’m also just really grateful to have great neighbors, and a beautiful Minnesota summer day to get together.

The allegations are bad, and so is City Council not being involved in hiring outside counsel.

My six year old is going to day camp this week. She’s been having a blast. As a former camper and camp counselor, it’s so heartwarming to see her love something I also loved. She comes home tired and happy every day singing camp songs and telling about new friends. Today they’re inside all day.

Minnesota US Attorney Dan Rosen having a news conference at 11 a.m. to announced charges against ”antifa.” Probably explains the reports of FBI in area & legal observers being picked up & homes searched.

I suggested a sidewalk tea party to my kids given the inevitable spills, and they decided to make tea out of weeds while I pulled volunteer tree seedlings from our garden. I am so glad to be fully in spring, and so grateful pretending to drink my “tea” was acceptable to my six year old today.

I won an election within my union and hosted a birthday party for my kindergartener this weekend, and wowee it has been so wonderful and rewarding to talk to so many kind people, but also I am so tired. Really grateful to be in these communities.

The biggest story in the world right now is that the president of the United States is a demented old man who takes pleasure in torturing and killing people and is committing crimes with impunity. And yet most legacy media outlets are too cowardly to tell it like it is.

There's something deeply obscene and broken about the fact that Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth are bombing elementary schools in an illegal war of aggression, and there's still a sense among the opposition that it has to be explained in terms of gas prices in order to get American voters to care.

I have been actively involved in protest movements for 24 years. I have never seen anything approaching this scale. Minneapolis is not accepting what's happening here. ICE fucking murdered a woman for participating in this, and all that did is bring out more people, from more walks of life.

Local reporters understand that what's happening in the Twin Cities doesn't have much of a precedent. It's not a political response (pink hat protest), it's an existential one. It is actual resistance to a violent external threat that is ICE terrorizing neighbors and families.

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

I’ve started using the term “ethnic cleansing campaign” to describe the ICE occupation here in Minnesota. This is deliberate because the reality on the ground is that, at a given moment, any non-white person can be kidnapped by masked federal paramilitaries regardless of their constitutional rights.

Senate Democrats absolutely have to shut the govt down to stop this ICE insanity in the Twin Cities. This is not sustainable & cannot be normalized. Any Democratic vote to provide money to the thugs who are brutalizing this community is a grave betrayal to the people here. Accountability can't wait.

Saint Paul schools will be closed Tuesday and Wednesday to prepare for optional online learning. I’ve seen schools close for snow, for pandemic, for natural disaster. I’ve never seen schools close because of threat from our own government.

Walz: "What's happening in MN defies belief. News reports simply don't do justice to the level of chaos & disruption & trauma the federal govt is raining down... This long ago stopped being a matter of immigration enforcement. Instead, it's a campaign of organized brutality against the people of MN"

Seriously. It feels like this will get worse before it gets better, and in the meantime people have to coordinate things like security presence for daycares and schools to prevent teachers and families from being kidnapped.

My kindergartener had indoor recess today because it was “too slippery” outside. Bless those teachers, too often in a position of protecting students and each other with so much skill that the kids don’t really notice how wrong things are.

Here's the video. It's hard to watch. It's extremely clear that it does not even remotely align with what DHS claims. The shooter is clearly not in the path of the car. But I want to see his bodycam, because he's not visible at the moment of the shooting.
