Minnesota Dems are trying to elect as governor, the County Attorney that refused to charge Derek Chauvin for his entire career of brutality against Black Minnesotans, and refused to charge almost every cop in the police department that is on the most racist 1% of police departments in North America?

Then if Black Minnesotans don't turn out to vote for her in record numbers, a bunch of white people are going to jump on BlueSky and Twitter and Mastodon and Facebook to curse out Black people, and express their homicidal fantasies about how Black men and Somali immigrants now deserve whatever is about to happen to them.

Chart showing Minnesota has "More Racial Disparities in deadly force than 100% of Depts"

That is not a good accomplishment.

Only 19% of Minnesota is Black, but 75% of people killed by police are Black.

Is there anyone left of Klobuchar running who could win if given enough support? I don't know much about politics in MN.

My reaction when I saw the announcement that she was running was just a dejected, "Oh g-d. No." 😣

@mekkaokereke Gotta love how majorities will say the most bigoted shit and then hide behind the curtain of “pragmatism” when they’re the last people that would be hurt by this system.

@mekkaokereke @Compassionatecrab Klobuchar is being dispatched to bring MN to heel. She’s a #Collaborator and a #Traitor to democracy.

Mike Freeman is running for Governor of Minnesota? Do you have a source for this?
