Our DSA chapter based in Duluth, MN of a little over 300 has 2 city councilors, two county commissioners, a state house rep, and a state senator. Next year we have 5 openings on the city council so should be able to grab one or two. And the mayor is up then too, so who knows...

RIP to the Anders Folk campaign, couldn’t have happened to a bigger group of assholes than the snake motherfuckers on his staff.
His whole team deserved this loss, not just Anders. Fuck you to each and everyone of them. 🫶

In Trump +8 territory, Democratic Socialists are WINNING and flipping Republican seats. & we're just getting started🌹
Congrats to DSA member Ashley Herrmann on her election to the Florida State House HD 69! Ashley is fighting alongside @TampaDSA and @palmbeachdsa to win tenant rights, stand up to data centers, & keep ICE out of our communities. Join our movement at dsausa.org/join 🌹

i am a local unit DFL chair in Minneapolis, and Hassan is 100% correct here.
Hasan Piker on Amy Klobuchar and Angie Craig condemning and trying to cancel his planned event with Ilhan Omar and Omar Fateh:
"I have a lot of fans in Minneapolis. Minneapolis is one of the more radical, Democratic base of supports in the country. I'm willing that there are more people deeply invested in the party in Minneapolis that are fans of mine than fucking Amy Klobuchar, you know what I mean?
I'm so tired, man. I'm tired. What you do not realize is this: When you make a big deal about a narrative that is entirely reactionary, designed to cause an outrage cycle in Minnesota, as a Democrat, even if you like your big donors, you should privately assure that we are different than one another; we're not fans of each other, but it's a big tent and we gotta defeat Donald Trump.
These guys [centrist Democrats] think there is this broad, anti-Hasan sentiment bubbling up. They do not see that these attacks only make them look like they're deeply out of touch and deeply out of step. Klobuchar, you're going to win. It's going to be a blowout victory. What are you doing? This is your time to actually lean in to your base.
I'm just so tired. The Somali community is constantly under attack by the exact same forces that are trying to present me as this big danger and you have prominent Democrats in this state leaning into it. Disgusting."

He says the name just fine when he’s begging the Qataris for a personal jet or the Saudis for funding for his son-in-law’s private equity firm.
Wonder what’s changed?

DHS raiding a member of congress's home to search for immigration paperwork filled out decades ago by her now-deceased father really checks all the fascist police state boxes.

Minneapolis resident here, why on earth would i take a Waymo??

He is anti-democratic, anti-worker, anti-safety & anti-climate

activists with climate defense confronted angie craig yesterday, asking her "why did you vote to expand ICE surveillance after metro surge?" and she would not answer them. they told her to "explain your vote to alex pretti's famly!" and that she is just like the republicans
We disrupted AIPAC Angie Craig campaign event for her vote to expand ICE surveillance powers after Metro Surge. We need leaders who are going to step up and fight fascists not enable the Gestapo brutalizing and killing our neighbors.
Moderate democrats beholden to corporate PACs and billionaires cannot be trusted to represent Minnesota.
Rep Craig has voiced support for the Meta Rosemount data center and continues to fund the genocide in Palestine.
Today, she refused to be publicly accountable to a constitute she wants to represent and could not even answer a simple question about a bill she voted on.
Vote by August 11

I agree, basically a toss-up. Craig has been flooding the state with ads paid by AIPAC and health insurance companies to lie about her pro-Trump record. Flanagan has struggled to overcome big money because she hasn't nationalized the race and leveraged social/alt media like Abdul

There are just 2 days until polls close on August 11.
Your vote can make a difference in this race. Make your plan to vote, then send this post to three friends and make sure they have a plan to vote on or by August 11!

Oh @FrancescaHongWI has this in the bag. The establishment dems needed her to blow up in this debate and she was solid. They all tried to copy her platform! She might break 50% in a 5 person field. The first Socialist governor in America will be an Asian American woman!
