Today, LaTonya Reeves is announcing that she is primarying Ilhan Omar, my current representative.
When asked what LaTonay's pronouns are, LaTonya replies "Black/Queen" because Queen believes that being non-binary is a white thing.
This is a big part of why I'm working to unfuck the DFL.

Hi all. I hate to ask, but I just found out I need another surgery (skin grafting) and it got scheduled for next week. That means missing work and I used all my paid time off during my previous hospital stay.
Any help to cover the lost wages would be appreciated.

The DFL is a shitshow and I'm dedicated to doing my part in fixing it over the next year because if they don't get their shit together, we are going to lose and my life and home in Minnesota will be at risk.

MN DFL Listening Tour TL;DR: began with a 20 minute pitch on how Dems can win in 2026 seemingly without awareness or acknowledgement of disenfranchisement and brewing distrust of state DFL in MPLS. Responses given, but lack clear strategic action on these v real complaints.

Please send a quick email if you were turned away due to the unpublished bag policy at the MN DFl listening event so they have some idea of how many people were impacted
in the mobilize email hit “contact the organizer” and complain about this!
Turned away from the MN DFL event due to a bag policy that didn’t appear anywhere in the invitation.
The suggestion was to put my bag in my car. I took the bus
I’m curious how many people were turned away due to other bags (bike bags, groceries, diaper bags) and didn’t have storage options

Hi Minnesotan Bluesky:
The DFL has a well-known transphobia problem. I'm organizing to change the party platform in 2026 to be explicitly supportive of trans people in Minnesota. This will provide a basis for expelling transphobia from our party.

Sorry to Dex for continuing to quote skeet them, but I think a major DFL problem is not forcing resignations. Nicole Mitchell and Cyndy Martin both.
Asked directly about Cyndy Martin and he gave an absolutely bullshit answer that said nothing and amounted to that he’s going to let it play out in court.

I think there’s a real conversation to be had about whether “beyond a reasonable doubt” should be the requirement to force someone out of a public position. I don’t think it should be. The MNGOP has the high ground on this. They forced out a pedo based on probable cause essentially.
richard carlbom was asked about cyndy martin remaining on the CRBC and basically said “due process exists in this country.”
i don’t think there is any dispute cyndy martin hit and killed that teenager with her car and didn’t call 911 until the next morning, regardless of the criminal trial

Due process is to figure out how long she goes to jail for.
It has nothing to do with keeping leadership positions in a political party.
She clearly has poor judgment. There has to be someone better on CD8 to lead. I refuse to believe she’s the only person who can run a zoom meeting.

a chair of a congressional district in the DFL is facing homicide charges, and Richard Carlbom is unwilling to call for her to step down from her leadership position. this should be disqualifying.
