I still see cars with Paul Wellstone bumperstickers. Rep. Wellstone died in a 2002 airplane crash. (fucking hell I miss politicians like him.)

Also, Robin Williams, MLK Jr., Paul Wellstone, to name a few.
a man is speaking into a microphone and says boy these conservatives are really something aren 't they ?
Alt: George Carlin says, "Boy, these conservatives are really something, aren't they?"

Leave Hubert Humphrey alone!! LOL!

A great progressive from Minnesota who believed that public service was an honorable profession and that government as an extension of "we the people" was capable of doing good things for people.
Humphrey, Eugene McCarthy, Mondale, Wellstone, and now Walz...

Cant help wonder about Paul Wellstone, The Franklin Credit Union, the alleged sex trafficking at the center of that saga and Epstein. Just keeps playing on repeat in my head

Well, there's also the JFK assassination, the assassinations of RFK, MLK, Fred Hampton, John Lennon, & Sen. Paul Wellstone, & Rep. MacDonald.
Plus more. The US government will not hesitate to kill its opposition.

Paul Wellstone was what progressives wish Bernie Sanders is.

What a beautiful tribute. I’m in tears. She sounds like she was a Paul Wellstone kind of politician who took her job as a representative seriously. Minnesota produces some good ones.

Yo @adamtodbrown.bsky.social, can you please drop the name of the Wellstone book you recommended on the Cheney episode of Monday Show? Thanks!

We need Biden, Harris, Wellstone Democrats elected.

Single Payer Now!
It's habitual I was a staff trainer w/ Citizen Action in Wellstone Single Payer campaign in early 90s. It's when I learned of Bernie. We held 2nd Line funeral parade protests for the death of the American HC system back then

Many of the activists from then are no longer with us

We don’t need a Dem vengeance candidate: we need a Paul Wellstone-like healer, someone above petty retribution & who’ll help nation heed its better angels, pull itself out of spiral.
December 17, 2025 at 5:36 AM
yes, they took the wrong lessons from the campaign against the Wellstone mourners

Is there anyone arguing not to jump on Trump about Reiner? This is not comparable to Wellstone or other situations because Trump himself created it.

Gotta run towards the center donchayaknow. Even when the center drags you further and further to the right. Dems have never won a election with a strong lefty candidate. /so much sarcasm. And once again i miss Paul Wellstone.

I was a staff trainer with Citizen Action in the early 90s working in many states promoting Wellstone Single Payer campaign

My family grew up west of Cancer Alley

6 of 9 family died of cancer in two generations. Both my parents had leukemia on their death certificate

I understand completely

This past Saturday was the @wellstonedemocrats.bsky.social Holiday Party. I was heavily involved in Wellstone for a few years. Serving as Political Director twice, and also as President. It is good to see the club in good hands. It was a great night with a lot of catching up!

When we canvassed door to door in that region, I can't count the cancer stories i was told. Citizen Action worked promoting Single Payer campaign in Wellstone era. We focused on areas impacted by Cancer Alley

Exhausting

Nuke industry sent dogs after Greenpeace. Expect resistance from cancer alley

Build perfect lawless cities of floating Wellstone.

While affordability is an important Dem issue and kitchen table issues are the bread and butter of Dems as Wellstone pointed out, the most salient call I’ve heard from activists is getting the pedophiles out of power and the gestapo off the streets.

... Listen to what people are saying, stand up for those who cannot do so themselves, and continue to fight for the working families of America.

That's what we Democrats stand for and much, and what I and we will continue fighting for: the working men, women and families of America. 2/2

Today at the DNC's Winter meeting in LA, I moderated a panel discussion on the topic of "Counties in Crisis - the Impact of Climate Change and the Trump Administration on Conti Nationwide." I was joined by a great panel of county and labor leaders and was noted by all that we must .... 1/2
