I'm here at the @MinnesotaDFL convention excited for the Peggy rally and endorsing Zack Filipovich. Senator Frentz complimented me on my hat this morning, and it made it into his convention speech 🤣

[Geoff Dittberner (geoffdmn.bsky.social) @GeoffDMN]

Zack has my vote!

[taylr @taylr]

zack filipovich was endorsed by minnesota attorney general keith ellison this morning in the auditor race!

zack says keith is a powerhouse for working minnesotans and he plans to do the same in the auditor’s office

DFL delegates, i recommend you vote for zack today! @Flip_1776

Today, I filed for Congress in Minnesota's 2nd. I am running for every parent who can't put groceries on the table, every senior drowning in medical debt, and every worker left behind. It's time Minnesotans see real change, that's why I'm taking this fight to Congress.

[Geoff Dittberner (geoffdmn.bsky.social) @GeoffDMN]

@karlabigham I was Team Erin, but least Walz/Flanagan showed up and put up a fight. If Angie can't even face DFL'ers how can she face Tafoya?

[Kaela Berg @kaelaberg]

Congress is full of millionaires bought out by corporations who know the value of their stock portfolio better than the price of groceries, healthcare, & gas. It's time working class Minnesotans have real representation in Congress.

LIVE SOON: As RFK Jr. and Trump officials visit Minnesota, the Zero Burn Coalition demands accountability over a new EPA lawsuit -- and the rollback of PFAS standards -- intensifying the fight to close the HERC trash burner. WATCH: https://t.co/AVnfQhpE3H #FreedomToBreathe

[Geoff Dittberner (geoffdmn.bsky.social) @GeoffDMN]

@taylr I haven't heard from him either. He just showed up to CD2 announcing support from Ilhan and others and I was like who tf is this guy? His lack of outreach reeks of entitlement. He may be a good candidate on paper, but I like Zack and appreciate the work Jennings puts in.

[Geoff Dittberner (geoffdmn.bsky.social) @GeoffDMN]

Delay is indefensible. Delay = harm. Everyone in #mpls deserves the #FreedomToBreathe clean air!

🚨A federal lawsuit just confirmed what MPLS has known for 37 yrs: trash burners are poisoning communities of color while regulators look away. Hennepin Co. Board: your support for even the temp use of burners violates EJ principles. OUR RESPONSE: https://t.co/RXraO1aPdn

We need Rep. Berg's working-class voice in Congress now more than ever. Onward! #MN02

[Kaela Berg @kaelaberg]

This campaign is about more than one seat in Congress.

It's about whether working people finally get a voice loud enough to break through the corruption and the greed that has taken over Washington.

Join us in the fight.

I'd be even more satisfied with 1950s-era tax brackets and unionization rates.

New newsletter: MODERN FATHERHOOD WOULD BE UNRECOGNIZABLE TO A 1950'S DAD

Compared to their Boomer parents, childcare time among Millennial dads has more than doubled.

Compared to their Silent Generation grandparents, it’s nearly quadrupled.

You will be hard-pressed to find any part of day-to-day modern life that has changed more in the last half-century than the way today’s parents—and fathers, in particular—spend their time.

The new American dad is more present and more exhausted—but also, more satisfied with life. What's behind this half-century transformation? Today's piece combines history, economic analysis, and gorgeous charts galore from @AzizSunderji

[Clint Combs @Combs0294]

The Zero Burn Coalition took their protests to the Hennepin County Board and sent their meeting into recess. They are calling on the county to vote on closing the HERC: https://t.co/Fzyy48dmdi

[zeroburncoalition @zeroburnmn]

🧵 Today, the people showed up. A multigenerational, multiracial, multifaith community demanded justice for neighbors in the shadow of the HERC trash burner. We sang for the demise of this polluter. We shut down 6th Street. We testified with truth. #FreedomToBreathe #mnleg (1/6)

[Geoff Dittberner (geoffdmn.bsky.social) @GeoffDMN]

Thanks for proving the point, I guess?

[zeroburncoalition @zeroburnmn]

Three people are on hunger strike b/c Henn Co won't listen and actively misleads the public about the trash burner poisoning our community. Commr. Anderson accused us of being tied to landfill companies — with zero evidence — then ran away. He proved the point. #FreedomToBreathe

[zeroburncoalition @zeroburnmn]

When you burn trash, it doesn’t disappear. It turns into toxic ash — and that ash still goes to an industrial landfill located a short walk from the Mississippi river in Rosemount. (1/3) #FreedomToBreathe #Minneapolis #mpls #environmentaljustice #mnleg

Turns out, it's legal to communicate with Signal (even if you're not Pete Hegseth) and the First Amendment allows you to observe and record. Go figure. https://t.co/RQJQNJYAoY

[taylr @taylr]

hey DFL, what are you even doing to protect us at these in person caucuses?

stop trying to dunk on republicans and tell us how you are going to protect your own party members. like, are you gonna hire the same security for richard carlbom’s listening sessions for us too?

[Elliott Payne @ElliottForWard1]

Regardless of who you are or what agency you work for, if you shoot or kill people in Minneapolis you need to be arrested immediately and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Full stop.
