@bodhipaksa @jhavok @Gladso @pluralistic Minnesota AG #keithellison spoke at the rally in St Paul with an assassin at large.

The police have not announced any arrests.
The suspect left behind a “manifesto” & a list of potential next targets that included #TimWalz, acc/to ABC News.

The list, whose existence was confirmed by law enforcement earlier on Saturday, contained the names of many top #Minnesota #Democrats, including Walz, Rep. #IlhanOmar, Sen. #TinaSmith, & AG #KeithEllison, law enforcement sources told ABC.

“The president’s decision to federalize & deploy California’s #NationalGuard without the consent of #California state leaders is #unlawful, #unconstitutional, & undemocratic,” the attorneys general said in a statement released by #Minnesota AG #KeithEllison. They said the #Trump admin should be working with local leaders to keep everyone safe, “not mobilizing the #military against the American people.”

Well I didn’t see Keith Ellison speak last night; so access to my MSM was inadequate. Hope to find out elsewhere. So far DNC has put a lid on discussion about Israeli attacks on Palestinians, courting instead GOP dissenters over who would be silenced.

So far two great Democratic AGs have been on. I’m proud to have met and conversed with both of them, #KeithEllison and #DanaNessel. Their willingness to speak up for #KamalaHarris says a lot.

Walz appointed Minnesota AG Keith Ellison to lead the prosecution of the killers of George Floyd.

That's the same Keith Ellison who the corporate Democrats didn't want to influence Democratic policy too much. Because, you know... black, and something more they'd rather leave unsaid: to make matters worse... Muslim.

As it turns out Tom Perez's DNC didn't stop Trump at all. That never was its first and foremost priority.

It all harkens back to the 2016 primary, in which critics of Hillary Clinton were routinely told their opposition was rooted in sexism and, somehow, racism as well. Now as Sanders and Ellison backers jockey for influence on the key committees, they are once again being told, in so many words, that they are bigots.

Yet the three Ellison backers removed from the key committees are themselves a diverse bunch. Ellison, of course, is African-American, Muslim, and represents a working-class district, while Barbra Casbar Siperstein is transgender, Zogby is Lebanese-American (and Catholic), and Buckley is gay.

Ellison supporters are also frustrated by the repeated switching of the conversation from the executive and rules committees, which have power and matter, to the at-large members, who have very little. “The DNC is spinning it as being about diversity and focusing on at-large, but we know the real power is with the committees, and the rules committee in particular, [which] determines rules for primaries and caucuses,” said Bond.

“The rules committee is where recommendations from the unity committee go. That’s where the grassroots of the party, the people that Keith Ellison represents, are being retaliated against, and that’s where you need to look if you want to see if Perez is really trying to unify the party, or consolidate power for the Clinton wing of the party.”

Bond and Sandberg said that Ellison making progress inside the DNC will be viewed as a proxy for how open the party is to a big-tent coalition that includes the left flank. “Many activists who supported Bernie in the presidential election and who supported Keith for DNC chair were willing to take another chance on the DNC when he agreed to become vice chair,” said Sandberg. “Increasingly it’s appeared to everyone on the outside that Tom Perez’s role is simply to block Keith from making any of the strategic shifts that activists know are necessary to make the primary system fair and makes the party work for the people rather than the corporate donors and the vendors.”

While removing long-serving DNC members seen as favorable to Ellison and Sanders, Perez moved to maintain positions at the party for a number of corporate lobbyists.

The at-large members chosen by Perez include Harold Ickes, a lobbyist for a nuclear energy company; Manny Ortiz, a lobbyist for Citigroup; Joanne Dowdell, a lobbyist for News Corporation, the parent company of Fox News; and Jaime Harrison, a former lobbyist for coal companies, big banks, and tobacco companies.

Other Democratic influence peddlers chosen by Perez as at-large members are not registered lobbyists, but work at well-known corporate lobbying firms. Maria Cardona and Minyon Moore, two prominent supports of the Clinton campaign, both work at Dewey Square Group. The Dewey Square Group has long served to advise special interests on influencing the policy debate. The company was previously hired by health insurers to fight aspects of the Affordable Care Act, and before that, worked for the subprime mortgage company Countrywide to build support for the company on Capitol Hill. Dewey Square’s currently counts major firms such as Walgreens, Tenet Health, Spectra Energy, Capital One, and Apple as clients. (Moore is one of the women mentioned as under attack in the BuzzFeed story.)

“The Democratic Party will only succeed in stopping Trump and the Republicans in Congress if it is a boldly progressive, multiracial, populist party. So it’s troubling to see the DNC seem to purge people from its leadership simply because they supported the progressive candidacy of Keith Ellison for chair,” said Joe Dinkin, spokesman for the Working Families Party. “For the sake of the nation, the DNC should reverse course, spend less time courting big donors, and more time bringing progressives voices into the party, instead of silencing them.”

Walz’s chief of staff, Chris Schmitter, had attended the entire event. This was a striking commitment of Schmitter’s time. Walz acknowledged Schmitter, who is an attorney. Then Walz said that though he is not a lawyer, he has never been one to be prejudiced against lawyers because he knows just how critical lawyers are to governing. Walz thanked #Minnesota attorney general #KeithEllison as well as Schmitter. 2/

The panel discussions at this #Minnesota Law Review symposium on gun law after Bruen (https://minnesotalawreview.org/2023-24-symposium/) have been excellent so far. I particularly enjoyed hearing from Daniel Scott Harawa, Jennifer Behrens, Minnesota AG #KeithEllison, and now, Shira Feldman. This symposium feels like it is (part of) the most important work I could be doing right now. #LawFedi #GunViolence 1/2
