Lots of things to criticize Folk for, but I’m not going to criticize Folk for his criminal defense work. Everyone accused of a crime deserves the best defense possible. That’s how the criminal justice system works.

anders folk is telling minneapolis residents that he is a democrat, but the message he sends suburban residents doesn’t mention any political affiliation the part about ICE is also removed which seems like a misstep. operation metro surge hit the whole state, why not tell all of hennepin county?

she could have even run for governor and been able to stay close to home. but it would have been forfeiting the senate seat, and everyone knew it.

Congressman Gregory Meeks literally wrote a letter calling on Latonya to be removed. And now she’s doing a selfie with him 😭 He probably doesn’t even recognize Latonya

Why is Latonya tweeting about herself in the third person here?
Latonya Reeves @LatonyaforCD5
This lady is so 😢 y'all! OMG. I feel bad for her because she loves to type box but then when she gets an ounce of what she gives out online, she crashes out and starts calling names and swearing. Again we should be praying for her. I hope she gets the help she needs.

Nick Kruse @nickkruse1.bsky.social · 24/09/2026
Omg she is still going 😭 She says she is proud of her 6% campaign. And she says a fellow DFL Leader is “not the brightest crayon in the box” which I’m sure the Code of Conduct Committee will say is A-OK.

The reason Frey is the Mayor today is because last year, Richard Carlbom and the DFL’s CBRC and SEC broke rules, logic, and precedents in order to strip Omar Fateh’s rightfully earned Endorsement. The State DFL owns the messes that Frey is making.

This is basically the first election of my adult lifetime where I haven’t done doorknocking/phonebanking for the Democrats. Feels good to have more free time in the fall 😊😊

Latonya Reeves has a track record of filing false Police Reports on her political opponents. It is very concerning that she has a role in the selection of the next Police Chief.

also, if you really feel a way about "trans discourse" maybe you should join queer DFLers in pressing the DFL on its toleration of openly transphobic behavior, like latonya reeves mocking pronouns on zoom and then getting queer DFLers disciplined for describing such behavior as transphobic.

Perhaps the Chair of the CCPO can ask the next Police Chief what their policy will be on filing false police reports. Since that is one of her hobbies.

I don’t think the Hillary comparison is accurate. This race is much safer than that race ever was. All the ratings groups call this race “Solid/Safe D”. Other than Fox News and Inside Elections, which still says “Likely D”. I don’t think 2016 Presidential was ever rated Safe/Solid by these groups.

Some elections we just know how they are going to turn out, and that’s okay to say. Wyoming Governor is obviously going Red. Same for Alabama Governor. And Arkansas Governor goes Red. Illinois, California, Minnesota, etc. Governors are obviously going Blue. Not really that controversial to say.

Because Klobuchar is virtually guaranteed to win, a large number of us can safely vote Green in the MN Governor’s race to help send a leftist policy message, without having to worry about the Republican winning. Vote for Steve Young for Governor! @steve4mn.bsky.social

Nick Kruse @nickkruse1.bsky.social · 29/08/2026
If you agree with the Green Party’s platform but are usually worried about wasting your vote on a third party candidate, there is no better race to vote Green in than the Minnesota Governor’s race. Klobuchar is obviously going to win, the only question is by how much.

The @dfl.org should change the word “Endorsement” to “Suggestion”, to better align with current practices. For example, Congresswoman Ilhan Omar won the DFL Suggestion at the CD5 Convention.

Nick Kruse @nickkruse1.bsky.social · 25/08/2026
Nobody actually thought that Latonya would be removed, did you? If so, that naivety is honestly adorable. The conservative wing of the DFL was always going to win this, just like I predicted weeks ago

Nick Kruse @nickkruse1.bsky.social · 30/07/2026
Remember when Latonya claimed to support the Endorsement process, and wanted to remove Ilhan’s Endorsement for supporting Wonsley in Ward 2? It’s almost like these DFL leaders don’t act in good faith and just make up the rules as they go along.

I was on the receiving end of outright harassment with these COC complaints, and I shouldn’t be afraid to call out the harassment that I and others experienced from the DFL. So many people (not OP obviously) are upset that I spoke out about the harassment I experienced.

Idk man, just because this admin sucks doesn’t mean you should abandon critically needed funding that we still have access to. The grant doesn’t require the city to use that language. This just feels like falling for a clearly set booby trap.

I also want to be clear (if I haven’t been clear enough already since Reed seems confused), I am not coming back to the DFL for a long time. Maybe years or maybe a lifetime. I am simply a private citizen posting my political opinions on social media. Follow my account or don’t, I don’t care.

At least 5 of the 40 “likes” on Reed’s rant about me are people that STILL currently follow me. So are those hate-followers? Idk but seems weird. You don’t have to follow my account if you hate me.

“this man had a complete explosion a few months ago, rage quit everything” To be clear, I was suspended from the DFL for fabricated reasons, with zero opportunity to appeal. As I explain in my pinned thread dated April 24, when it became obvious that no appeal would be allowed, I stepped away.

Clearly the “inside track” for fixing the Code of Conduct Committee process was a total failure. Y’all said you were going to get it amended at the State Convention. Failed that, then said it would pass at July SCC meeting. Failed that too. So I did the “outside track” of speaking to the media.

Also, “rage quit” implies that I just randomly quit abruptly. I announced back on November 19th 2025 that if the DFL found me “guilty of saying truthful things on the internet”, then I would quit the DFL. I simply followed through on that pledge.

Another reminder that Minnesota politics are fucking weird. Some procedural issues at a city convention had the state DFL sprinting to see how fast they could strip the winner of the endorsement, but a (potential) drunken hit and run? Nah, she gets to keep her post for months afterwards.

I am genuinely baffled. How is ONE white lady who hit and killed a teenager with her car THAT important to these people that they will turn the whole party upside down to keep her in various officer positions? I don't get it! Does she have an archive of their nudes or something?

I still have faith that the Code of Conduct Committee will dismiss these nonsense challenges, and I look forward to being volunteering with the DFL and candidates for many years and decades to come. But the idea that someone would continue to volunteer after being booted out is genuinely hilarious.
