Where democracy action starts: precinct caucuses! Neighborhood-level meetings select party leaders and delegates to the conventions that endorse candidates for local, state, & national elected officials. Huge turnout in our Minneapolis caucus. VERY motivated people in 2026!

Trump HOPED they’d get 2020 George Floyd riot-type reactions to ICE to “justify” sending in the U.S. Army for a military takeover, as “training” for domination of all Blue cities. Instead they lit another kind of global “fire” that’s going to roast their Project 2025 Takeover!

Fix ICE, Drastically reform to Constitutional, lawful, humane performance of its legitimate function. “Defund ICE” is emotional, understandable, but is a LOSER politically in 2026 when we need a broad centrist coalition to WIN needed change!

Been very pleased with our Minnesota public officials’ presentations on many media views recently. Governor Walz, Mayor Frey, Attorney General Ellison, County Attorney Morarity, Police Chief O’Brien. All show up as very competent, professional, serious, determined! Sorry MAGA!
