the DFL has a problem with cyndy martin holding multiple leadership roles - like CD8 chair, and CBRC and code of conduct - while facing criminal vehicular homicide charge. she doesn't appear contrite. she appears defiant. she has evaded responsibility from the start

It is time to let her go from the party. @taylordahlin.com is right and we as party cannot afford to have her.

“How can anyone believe in the ethics of the DFL when someone like this can remain in multiple party leadership positions, especially one determining appropriate conduct in the party?”

Veterans like my son, Elijah, protected our country. The least we can do is make sure they can feed their families.

Trump’s policies are threatening SNAP benefits for more than 1.2 million veterans. I’m fighting to stop it.

We honor service with action that has veterans’ backs.

Tonight a resident posted a picture of racist and Islamaphobic language written on Johnson street that called for @omarfatehmn.com to be deported and wished death upon the Somali community. @doronclark.bsky.social and I showed up right away to get this racist garbage off of our streets

What Rick Kupchella, the StarTribune (owned by billionaire Glenn Taylor), Hubbard, and, seemingly the DFL executive committee, agree on is that Minneapolis is an eye sore. It has too much power and is an ongoing pain in the ass. They’re othering the state‘s largest city just like the White house.

We are a country of laws and not a king. And as it has been for every generation since our country was founded, it is on us—we the people—to hold up that democracy over a tyrant.

Today, the Senate Working Group on Gun Violence Prevention held its first hearing today, where I presented my bill to ban assault rifles. I am so grateful to the families and the local leaders who showed up today to testify and share their experience with gun violence. (1/2)

If you’re a voter in MN you can sign onto this letter. There are increasingly less and less spaces where all people in our country, especially our neighbors who are trans feel safe and are welcomed. I refuse to be a part of a party that does not stand up for and with our trans neighbors.

Trump recently ordered the Department of the Interior to halt work on a huge wind farm.

1,000 union workers had already completed 80% of the project.

Now they're fired.

He made sure the oil and gas billionaires got their tax breaks, though.

Happy Labor Day, I guess.

The fight for working people is personal to me. I come from a union family, I carried a union card.

This Labor Day—and every day—the Democratic Party is standing up for union jobs and against these sweeping Republican attacks on working men and women.

Spent the evening on Zoom tonight with much of the Resurrection Staff from post-Katrina days. On the twentieth anniversary of disaster, and after a hard day of more tragic news, it was a powerful reminder that yes, we can make a difference.
