@RandyEBarnett Holy hell. Get a grip.

@Loonbird1 @SharylAttkisson Apt username. Stearns County is always there for you, you know.

@SharylAttkisson Have lived here my whole life, very whitely. Doubt I'm known by any mysterious Key People. This is absolute hogwash.

[Fred Beukema @beukema]

@janenb @CheyCab @SharylAttkisson Oh, that has indeed happened to plenty of people, when ICE was stalking them.

[Fred Beukema @beukema]

@Tyler_A_Harper @chrislhayes Minnesotan here: Tim Walz has (to his credit, imo) not been on-board with sports betting, and it remains illegal in MN.

[Fred Beukema @beukema]

Like anti-abortion Trump-voting pastor Victor Martinez, loser of a couple City Council Races.

Both these guys are also in the orbit of our shitty mayor (now riding the national media circuit taking credit for what the people have done to resist ICE.)

@M_Nikki_dUrso After Julius looked me dead in the eye and said, on the record, that Victor had 350 people visit his house at 11:30 at night to individually sign up to caucus on the same iPad, I knew right then that this level of bullshit was destined for presidential politics.

[Fred Beukema @beukema]

Coming out of post protection to let you Texans know who Julius is. He's a Republican who lives in Mpls and works for the most conservative Dems who have a shot of winning something. His advice is worthless to Democrats.

[Julius Hernandez @juliush34]

Hard pass on "rally behind Talarico" energy when his supporters spent the primary attacking a Black woman & treating anyone who backed her like a traitor. Electability shouldn't just mean "white and polished." Some of us will remember how y'all acted.

@realChipEvans @EdKrassen They fucking didn't, you ghoulish asshole.

@CoachForGov Finally, people who don't know what a cummerbund or waistcoat is are allowed back at WH holiday celebrations.

Saw Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair this afternoon, and had a great time with it EXCEPT that @AMCTheatres put 30 MINUTES of ads & trailers in front of it. Including 2.5 ads for AMC, the theater chain I was already attending, and 1.5 Coke ads, one of them that awful AI one.

@ScottThompson_ @Glinner My god, this is disappointing. Established comedians standing by each others' shittiness is worse than cops backing the blue.

[Fred Beukema @beukema]

@andybrehm @OmarFatehMN @rochelleolson @StarTribune He has another job with the University of MN that he disclosed, and you have access to look it up, and I think you know it.

@SportsVikingBro @daviss As Frey himself used that arrangement to hit Hodges in 2017:
"some of the worst police-community relations in a long time. And that’s the Mayor’s job. The police report directly to the Chief, the Chief reports directly to the Mayor, and, ya know, that’s how it works."

[Fred Beukema @beukema]

@WedgeLIVE Worth noting, all you folks coming here via @AllOfMpls emails or @bloisolson snark, that this photo was taken during a scheduled prayer break, when most delegates were in the concourse.

[Fred Beukema @beukema]

@Gary_J_Fisch @WedgeLIVE It was originally scheduled for North High School. It was moved at great trouble and expense in the last month to a securable place in the wake of the Hortmans’s assassinations. As a consequence, it had to be compressed to one day for the party to afford it.

@empty_cars @kystokes @JoshMartinMpls @MinneapolisDFL @BrianaRoseLee @DeWayneForMPLS @jazzformayor @Jacob_Frey @darwinforsyth @aishaforward10 @OmarFatehMN His campaign sent out a text telling everyone to leave before the vote could be taken. It was a high-risk attempt to deny quorum, but they didn’t have the numbers to make it work, and when a quorum run attempt fails, you basically cede the endorsement.
