Gavin Newsom is being an ass in Davos. Assuming we even manage to get through this, let’s not follow one arrogant American narcissist with another.

This is shockingly out of touch, please donate your money to the communities that are being attacked by masked federal agents.

Also, in-person precinct caucuses are a terrible idea, there are immigrant families who haven’t left their houses in weeks.

So friends, I launched a campaign to raise money for the Democratic Party of Minnesota (@dfl.org) to help them combat ICE's lawless assault. MN Dem Party Chair Richard Carlbom joined me for the kickoff. Learn more, donate, and let's rally for the courageous people of Minnesota, together! 👇

How about we *all* get an old trophy or certificate we don't care about out of our closets or attics and send them all to the White House at the same time? I bet he'll at least assign some flunky (Vance, Patel, etc.) to sort through them in case there's something really impressive to display.

“When I speak about making our city more affordable, my vision is not limited to the homes that we live in or the child care that we’re making universal — it’s also a vision where we make it possible for working people to afford lives of joy, of art, of rest, of expression." – Mayor Mamdani

Translation of official ICE statement on this morning's murder: "ICE agents in Minneapolis: feel free to shoot civilians at will. We will not investigate to collect facts; we will just immediately construct a fictional narrative of what happened that completely absolves you of any wrongdoing."

Any similar move on Mexico, Greenland, or Canada should result in an immediate nationwide general strike that only ends with Trump's impeachment and conviction, resignation, or death.

He feuds with Tucker Carlson and privately criticizes the vice president, touting traditional GOP foreign policy and warning of the party’s rising antisemitism.

The next time a Democrat is elected president, SCOTUS will rediscover constitutional limits to executive power so quickly it will make our heads spin.

Maybe they won't notice your anti-immigrant policies are taking away their own healthcare if you get them riled up to fear and hate a dark-skinned immigrant group that has never harmed them in any way?
Rural America relies on foreign doctors. Trump’s visa fee shuts them out.
The Trump administration’s demand for companies to pay a $100,000 fee to hire an immigrant worker using an H-1B visa has created turmoil among rural health providers.

Every time Eric Roper spews about the "far left," Donald "Far Left Lunatics" Trump smiles at the Republican-owned @startribune.com joining his name-calling instead of facing the fact that most democratic socialist policies – like universal healthcare, childcare, and eldercare – have wide support.

I thought of sending this reaction to the Star Tribune's latest scaremongering about Omar Fateh as a letter to the @startribune.com, but they wouldn't even publish my online comments calling out their puff piece on Frey a few days ago, so I just made it a social media post instead.
To Minneapolis residents: Only days after publishing a front-page puff piece on Mayor Jacob Frey that literally devoted three paragraphs just to describing how cute his kids are, the Minnesota Star Tribune followed up today with a column by Eric Roper on the "slate for change" strategy in the mayoral race, in which Omar Fateh is described as an un-"palatable" "far-left candidate." Is even a single actual policy position of Fateh's described or analyzed? Of course not. There's just the name calling, using words that are only slightly more Minnesota nice than Trump's descriptions of anyone who opposes him as "nasty" and a "far left lunatic." Why does this kind of branding of candidates like Fateh always vaguely conjure a Cold-War era socialist boogeyman but so rarely engage the actual policies the candidates propose? Can it be because those policies in fact have broad support from ordinary people, so it's better not to tell readers what they are but instead to just go through the usual red-baiting routine? Roper's discussion was ostensibly about the more "palatable" challengers to Mayor Frey who are part of the "slate for change" alliance, DeWayne Davis and Jazz Hampton, so what exactly separates them from Fateh in terms of policy (setting aside the very obvious other factors that may make them more "palatable" to some voters in terms of religion or skin tone)? At the recent debate hosted by the Star Tribune, the only thing that came up as a very clear policy difference was a $20 minimum wage, which only Fateh supports. Well, in summer 2017 Minneapolis passed an ordinance to raise the minimum wage to $15, which then City Council member Jacob Frey voted for. If you run $15 in July 2017 through an inflation calculator, guess how much that is today? $19.83. So does the difference between an ostensible "far-left" radical and a more "palatable" candidate amount to just 17 cents? I will not only follow the "don't rank Frey" strategy on my ranked choice ballot; I will enthusiastically rank Sen. Omar Fateh #1 for the very simple reason that he is the one most focused on making a real material difference in people's lives and also BY FAR the one with the strongest record of concrete political accomplishments (free college tuition for families making less than $80K, a living wage for rideshare drivers, now widely available lifesaving fentanyl test strips, etc. – all statewide laws passed that he spearheaded). Frey has the developers' and landlords' money and the Republican-owned Star Tribune solidly behind him, but Fateh has the support of the people because he has the policies that will make a difference and a strong record of political effectiveness.
