    In Minnesota, we know that organized people will always beat organized money. Tonight, our movement didn’t just win. We earned a mandate for change. Despite outside efforts to defeat us, we once again broke turnout records. Despite the attacks, our support has only grown.

    It’s essential that we continue fighting to strengthen our democracy, to uplift those who are living in the margins of society, to rid us of the ills of our history with enslavement. If you think that's un-American or unpatriotic, that says more about you than it does me.

    “Our party is running from its own shadow. It’s afraid of its own ability to resonate with the American people. We have allowed the Republicans to reduce our messages to their messages, which makes us fight on their battleground.” sums it up.

    Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s “most fervent wish” was to have her replacement appointed by the next President. Honor her by mobilizing your neighbors to fight against hypocrisy, whether it’s through protesting, getting out the vote, or voting early — we need all hands on deck.

    The mayors of Minneapolis and St. Paul declared today "Ruth Bader Ginsburg Day."

    “Many of the Democrats who are in leadership in Congress...these are Democrats who existed in the era of Reagan, who have been beaten into submission and into running away from everything that we should be as a party that puts people first.” -⁩

    Republicans are now saying "we can't have a 4-4 court on election day." But that's exactly what they did when Merrick Garland was nominated. Any reporter who takes this bad-faith argument seriously should be rightly shamed.

    What that means is: if other deeply Democratic congressional districts turned voters out like we consistently do, Trump wouldn’t be president right now. Activate. Organize. Vote.

    Democrats’ power in Minnesota flows through the 5th District bc of our consistently high voter turnout. This turnout difference isn’t bc Minneapolis is more progressive than other large cities. It’s bc we know how to organize. And this organizing is why Democrats win in MN.

    Consider this: the difference in Democratic turnout in Minneapolis vs. Detroit, Milwaukee, and Philadelphia is greater than the margin with which Trump won Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania. Each of those cities and their congressional districts are just as Blue as the 5th.

    This refugee is going to have a good time voting you out of office. Many have tired and failed miserably to divide Minnesotans, we are greater than fear.

    THREAD: Current Republican senators saying, as a matter of principle in their minds, there should be no Supreme Court vacancy filled during an election year. As says, this applies even for a Republican president...

    “I want you to use my words against me. If there’s a Republican president in 2016 and a vacancy occurs in the last year of the first term, you can say Lindsey Graham said let’s let the next president, whoever it might be, make that nomination."

    As activists bravely speak out against ICE’s gross violations of religious liberties, I am renewing my demand for an investigation. Everyone involved in forcing detainees to choose between food that contradicts their religious beliefs and rotten meals must be held accountable.

    Immigrant rights activists and religious groups will head to a Miami detention center Saturday to demand immigration officials respond to reports of Muslim detainees being forced to choose between eating pork or eating rotten halal meat.
