DFL should be paying people to organize and use the DFL platform to push back the fascist agenda. This influencer garbage is gonna look superficial (it always does). Minnesotans have seen their neighbors get snatched up, fuck you mean you’re giving me a tik tok dance to GOTV?

this is propaganda, and exactly why influencers and everyone who talks at a camera should be ignored
“The DFL has to approach our attempts to reach voters differently than we ever have,” said Minnesota DFL Chair Richard Carlbom. “The youth vote is the new swing vote.”
Gov. Tim Walz, Democrats tap influencers to spread political message
After Republicans outmaneuvered Democrats online in the 2024 election, Walz and fellow Democrats are trying to build their own network of content creators.

i don't have permission to make it public, but there are two masked men with him who are his security that never appear in his video. like that's the whole reason the woman thought they were ICE, the masked guys, not nick. one is wearing the hat of a minneapolis gym, so they may be hired locally
I really hope we get to see the photos/footage someone got of Shirley’s crew hanging that misspelled sign before rolling their cameras.

Dear community,
I want to acknowledge what has been a difficult and heavy month that our city has endured. The presence of Federal Agents seperating families is creating a devastating impact on our immigrant communities.

I hope to appear on the pod periodically to discuss park board issues in the coming years! But especially for the immediate time being, I’m going to be learning as much as I can to be the most effective park board commissioner possible for D4.

Jason brought so much to the news team and we wish them all the best in their new role as an elected official.
It was an honor to be part of the @wedge.live news team with @taylordahlin.com, @joshmartinmpls.bsky.social, and @camgordon.bsky.social in 2025! Unfortunately, as an elected, I have to shift my role and focus more on official park board business and less on punditry.

There may or not be talks to get a Wedge LIVE movie into production, titled “3 Second to Midnight,” about a band of brave podcasters who save the city during a special election held on New Year’s Eve. Starring Chris Hemsworth as Chet Wedgely, Amanda Seyfried as Taylr, and Idris Elba as Josh Martin.
