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.

💜 my representative!

What good thing can you make stronger?

There are a lot of decent people doing good work right now, and hope is breaking through. As a result, our enemies are thrashing about and lashing out in extremely dangerous ways. We must be alert and aware and resist overwhelm and panic. Where can you contribute?

Some of the escalations we're seeing, including the attack on Ilhan Omar's home (I will not pretend this act was "investigatory"), are desperate acts. But we must remember that desperate people can be very dangerous. A domestic abuse victim, for example, is in the most danger when trying to leave.

WE STAND WITH ILHAN 🩵

There are half a dozen punks independently building gundams out of bike parts somewhere in South Minneapolis right now and Ilhan is going to need a whole Battle Train to hold them all

This raid is an abuse of power. The use of federal law enforcement against a sitting member of Congress on the eve of an election is unprecedented and unacceptable.🧵

Yeah so we all just got tear gassed on the way out of Rocky Horror, be careful downtown

Turns out treating our schools as community hubs has ENORMOUS benefits during crisis. Seems relevant to current MPS debates.

Seems unlikely but natl polls converging on Senate race. SUSA has it tied. Bottom line: go doorknock or phone call. It’s past go time & I expect GOP natl billionaires to turn their money cannon here, unless they think they can win by staying away. Tafoya camp has kept her under wraps & it’s working.

Great to see my friend Hunter on this list. 🌈 Minnesota’s House is a 67-67 tie, our Senate 34-33. We have our work to do; especially in the suburb/exurbs to make sure voters are showing up for folks who will move our state forward.

ICE has been tearing through our nation, devastating our neighborhoods, our cities, and our businesses. Our communities deserve accountability. My Make ICE Pay Act will redirect ICE's $140 billion budget to the communities they've hurt the most.

minnesota: we’re the first in the nation to early vote, let’s show the rest of the country that this is another way we show up and stop the onslaught of violence against our neighbors. let’s get these fascists out of power. join people this friday, 10AM at the hennepin county government center.

we tracked months of rent payments to an estimated 13,000 families. the expected cost of rehousing those families, had they entered eviction, would be north of $218 million dollars. keeping them housed cost around $38-40 million

Early detection, knowing the symptoms, and sharing the knowledge with the women you know is vital. know the symptoms and share the knowledge! Please read and share the attached information sheets, and visit www.foundationforwomenscancer.org for more information. You may just help save a life! 2/

I love Minneapolis

Don’t read Frazier's 35.95% as a sign that Hennepin voters don’t want a progressive attorney. The data says the opposite. To start: Frazier finished first in 227 of 394 precincts. Folk: 1st in 74, 2nd in 115, and 3rd-5th in 206 (more than half the precincts in Hennepin County).

Republican Gubernatorial nominee Lisa Demuth is the person who brought Metro Surge down on us. www.mprnews.org/story/2025/1...

just another reminder that if you don’t like the idea of amy klobuchar as governor of Minnesota, your best course of action is to head to a swing house or senate district and get on the doors help get those caucuses so strong that Amy’s power as governor means less

Real coalitions are built, not bought. There is a place for everyone on Team Frazier. Join us.

That sound you hear is Minnesota loudly saying FUCK ICE

Today, the federal government has issued a final rule on one of their proposals to limit gender affirming care for youth; the rule which prohibits Medicaid reimbursements will go into effect October 13th. It's a bad rule, but it's less catastrophic than its companion rule. And it will be challenged.

For Minnesotans: 1. This rule is limited to federal reimbursement for medical gender care for youth under Medicaid - it does not change the legality of those services. 2. Gender affirming care remains legal in our state, and Minnesota *must* continue to reimburse and provide care under our laws.

🧵 A few thoughts on the geography of #SaintPaul 's shifting homeless encampments. The Fish Hatchery camp that Mayor Her forcibly cleared this week was on some of the most isolated land in the city, over 2 miles from downtown StP, surrounded by RRs, river, highways, & cliffs.

senator hoffman has released a new statement regarding angie craig’s actions towards him, released via EMQ’s Facebook: she is so cooked

minnesota state senator john hoffman revealed tonight at the peggy flanagan rally in st. paul that angie craig asked him for his endorsement for US senate while he was still in the ICU after vance boelter shot him really appalling anecdote!

To date, immigration officials have shot and killed 11 people, including two Minnesotans. Across the country, they operate with no respect for human life, the law, or consequences. There's no reforming this agency. Rip it apart.

I do not support this project, because I feel it violates our 4th Amendment constitutional rights. In the wake of the 250th anniversary of the declaration of independence from a tyrannical king in London, I am unwilling to compromise the fundamental right to privacy from our government here at home.

At today’s Public Health, Safety, and Equity Committee meeting we heard a presentation from staff about a pilot program for Drones as First Responders that would be carried out by a company called Skydio. We then heard from dozens of community members, some from Ward 8 but most from the Northside...

This is a fight between the volunteers of the Democratic Party and the consultant/billionaire class of the Democratic Party. That's what it is.

If somebody’s trying to tell you some other app is a more secure alternative to Signal, they are ignorant, malicious, or trying to sell you something and you should not take them seriously. Every other app is going to have the same human problems and worse security. Ask every reputable cryptographer

There is complete industry consensus on this. Every reputable cryptographer on the planet agrees: Signal’s cryptographic protocols are the most secure in class. Period. Just because your father's brother's nephew's cousin's former roommate told you otherwise doesn’t make it true
