I personally think it's really cool how we all went from learning how to make banana bread to learning how to abolish the police in a matter of weeks

You’re laughing. A close associate of the mayor and the primary funder of his PAC is being sentenced for fraud and you’re laughing.

He ran the We Love Minneapolis which took donations from Republican donors in the 2025 Minneapolis city races. There are a half-dozen We Love Minneapolis donors who threw their money behind Republican AG Candidate Ron Shultz. There's a trend across the country where "moderate" try to unseat local progressives. A year later those same donors are bankrolling Republicans.

Guy who traffics in right wing, Islamophobic, racist conspiracy theories would like to let you know that this is definitely not a right wing, Islamophobic, racist conspiracy theory. 👌

Source familiar pushing back on this story:
“The F.B.I. and Department of Homeland Security investigated the marriage in summer 2016, during the Obama administration, and found some evidence that it was fraudulent, current and former officials said.” nytimes.com/2026/10/29/us/im…

there were literal neonazis outside and you’re worried about the antizionist on stage. lock in unc.
As DFLers, we must condemn hateful rhetoric, no matter who says it. Shame on @IlhanMN for bringing Hasan Piker to MN and giving him a platform.
You can’t stand for inclusion while excusing division. Our values should mean something, even when it’s politically inconvenient.

The ol’ islamophoic trope of Muslims and hostages. You could at least put a little more thought into your Islamophobia @rochelleolson where was your outrage when the DNC used him to engage young voters at the 2024 convention?

This Piker event had the potential to be a complete non-issue. One fringe-failed statewide candidate said something. Cool. Who cares?
Don’t like Hasan? Cool! Don’t attend! But helping Republicans blow up this nothing-burger feels immature from a party as experienced as the DFL.

It’s disheartening that people in my party were waiting with baited breath to find a way to demonize Ilhan after her home was raided while she is going through this administrations baseless witch hunt. But they have no problem asking for her help w/ turnout. I am sick of how you all treat her.

“Democrats are right to speak out against Republicans yet I have mysteriously said nothing about Trump targeting Ilhan Omar and seeking to deport her because this is somehow less dangerous than what a twitch streamer said seven years ago”
As Democrats, we are right to speak out when Republicans spread hateful rhetoric. We have the same responsibility when it comes from our own side.
Hasan Piker’s record of hateful rhetoric is clear. Senator Omar Fateh and Congresswoman Ilhan Omar should not lend him their platform.

Ilhan Omar is being targeted by Trump as we speak and here is this psycho still focusing on Piker. You need help.
Asma Nizami 🇵🇸 retweeted
I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation.
I will not be silenced.
Asma Nizami 🇵🇸 retweeted
ilhan omar is a naturalized black muslim woman & an outspoken critic of trump and us foreign wars. its not an accident that they're targeting her with lawfare to engage in electioneering. this is unprecedented. this is a perversion of justice that further erodes our social fabric
The Office of Congresswoman Omar released the following statement:
“This raid by Trump’s DHS is an outrageous abuse of power and an unprecedented escalation in the weaponization of federal law enforcement to target political enemies. For a decade, Donald Trump has relentlessly targeted Congresswoman Ilhan Omar with inflammatory rhetoric, repeatedly putting a target on her back. Now, those attacks have escalated to a pointless federal raid. The Congresswoman has done nothing wrong. No president should be able to use the power of the federal government to intimidate his political enemies.”

The President just told Minnesotans to "fight back" against Somalis. By name.
Every Somali I know is walking through our own neighborhoods scared tonight.
This is incitement, and everyone should call it that.
Trump is trying to start a race war in Minnesota: "The once Great State of Minnesota is being taken over by Somali Immigrants. There is Violence, Murder, and Mayhem all over the State. The people of Minnesota must fight back. You have been robbed, and abandoned by your State Government. Your Governor is an incompetent thief who doesn't want to get involved. He just wants to get out of town with as much as he can steal, and then, lead a quiet life. The Somalians should not be allowed to get away with what they are doing. They view you as weak and stupid people. Fight back Minnesota, fight back! If you need, the Federal Government will come to your rescue.
Governor Tim Walz, and Mayor of Minneapolis, Jacob Frey, must immediately ask for Federal help — and leave the rest to us! President DONALD J. TRUMP"

it’s just crazy to me when public figures are like “it’s sooo complicated, i can’t weigh in” and the average israeli public official’s twitter is like “i will send every palestinian into a slaughterhouse”
Asma Nizami 🇵🇸 retweeted
As your Attorney General, I’ve won tough fights to stop fraud, lower your costs, and put money back in your pockets.
My opponent is running to be Trump’s lawyer. I’m running to make sure you can afford your life. That's what this race is all about.
