- Reposted by Maddie LoveOkay! This has already inspired a bunch of DMs, so I made a page on the website. If you have 50,000+ Skymiles and would be willing to book flights to get someone home, please fill this out.

- Reposted by Maddie Lovebrass solidarity band performing “stand by me” in the streets of whittier next to alex pretti’s memorial. the crowd started chanting “the people united will never be defeated” so they incorporated it into the song. i love minneapolis
- Today easily 100 of my neighbors came out to a park in 3 degree weather to meet each other, join block chats, and figure out how we can support one another. You don't have to live in Minneapolis to do this! ICE may eventually come to your city too. Meet your neighbors!!
- It was so lovely to see people I recognized from my own block and people I had met at National Nights Out in the past. People were saying things to each other like "oh you live in that house? I love your garden!" and "I pet your dog every time I go by your fence!" Community is what will save us ❤️
- Are there any particular ICE related resolutions that groups are organizing to bring to precinct caucuses? Want to make sure I have a copy to bring to mine
- Tonight neighbors gathered. In parks and on street corners and on porches. We saw them climbing over piles of snow in the quiet + the darkness, candles in hand, bundled up tightly to honor the life of Alex. And to call for an end to the federal occupation of our city. We sang. We shall overcome.
- ICE murdered my neighbor this morning. And they continue to terrorize, beat, and kidnap Minnesotans all across the state. I don’t have any more words.

- crowdsourcing recs- who do you know that builds campaign websites?
- Here’s what I’ll say: I didn’t build the system, I stepped in to tabulate. Do I think the original system was over promised given the tech stack? Yes. Do I think upgrades weren’t happening perfectly at credentials? Yes. But the body was given multiple opportunities to redo a ballot. They declined.
- I said it on the other site so I’ll say it here too- Sorry I didn’t consider when making a friend at age 15 that we may both someday move to Minneapolis and separately get involved in politics! Guess I’ll try it Dawyn’s way: having no friends at all
- Unrelated but if anyone wants to fund building a real electronic system for convention balloting that DFL units can use, hmu 😂
- I’ve seen a lot of false information circulating in the weeks following the Minneapolis DFL convention. Some of it feels like reading Jan 6 voter conspiracy theories, so as the person who stepped in as head teller + audited the voting system, I’d like to set the record straight🧵
- 1) All the votes were received/counted. I’ve seen a tremendous amount of misinformation online claiming that there were thousands of delegates but only 577 ballots counted. That is untrue.
- There was a credentials report given around noon saying there were 652 delegates. All delegates and alternates were instructed to cast a ballot. They provided their ballot code to differentiate between delegate and alternate votes. There were a total of 1011 ballots cast.

- Is there a Minneapolis DFL email? I submitted an absentee caucus form and no idea if I'm a delegate or not
- As ppl dunk on Eichorn pls remember that even though this was a sting operation, no one "to catch a predator"s someone unless there's a ton of evidence they've been harming *real* children. Don't let sex crimes against kids be a punchline just to own conservatives. Actual kids likely got very hurt.
- The first few 40 degree days in Minnesota feel like pure medicine!! I am healed, the world is a beautiful place, all is good
- Grammy's watchers on the East Coast are so brave because I want to go to bed so bad and it's only 10:30 here
- Not the Grammy's commercial where Coca Cola gaslights everyone and says AI is fine and we shouldn't worry about it
- My most boomer complaint is why are all women’s shirts right now cropped tank tops!! It is winter! I need sleeves!
- When I feel hopeless and overwhelmed by the state of the world, the thing that makes me feel better is remembering there are people like EMQ in government who are spending every second thinking about how to protect Minnesotans
- Well... I'm here?
