Al Franken:

[applegrove]

Don’t look away from MN. ICE is still wreaking havoc across the state - changing their tactics to deceive Minnesotans - pretending to be construction workers or folks delivering groceries. Still over 2,000 ICE agents in the state. They’re not going anywhere, your anger and outrage shouldn’t either.

1. K & R

2. K&R...nt

3. I notice that Al speaks out a lot against the Felon's policies and other matters.

But I suppose with two possible Senate vacancies in Minnesota, do you think he may consider running for the Senate again?

I don't reside in Minnesota--just curious.

Seems like by his absence from the Senate, he has paid the price for whatever sins he committed that caused him to resign his seat. Others who did far worse (look no further than the Felon) are still in office.

4. I wish Al would run again.

[FakeNoose]

11. I felt the same way, but he has made it clear ...

... he's retired from politics, other than editorializing on podcasts. I guess we have to accept it.

[Omnipresent]

22. I do too, but the reality is that he is 74.

He’s no spring chicken and many in the party want younger representation now.

[SocialDemocrat61]

6. He doesn't live in Minnesota anymore

He moved back to New York a few years ago. Maybe he’ll run against Schumer in 28. Lol

[MLWR]

10. For Kirsten Gillibrand's seat.

[SocialDemocrat61]

13. She's not up until 30

She’s been re-elected twice since Franken resigned. Both times with big margins. She’s very popular in the state.

17. That would be too controversial

and bring p the ghosts he wants to leave behind.
Of course I wish he'd never left, but he'd have to set himself up differently to return. He said at an event some years ago that his family is against it.

[efhmc]

19. Don't do it. Was nasty then and would probably be even more so now with the number of maggots that are everywhere.

[MadameButterfly]

23. I'm guessing he--or at least his family--agrees with you

But what a loss.

[PatSeg]

5. "Folks delivering groceries"?

These people are super creepy.

[MustLoveBeagles]

7. I've always liked him and always will

What happened to him was wrong.

[Skittles]

15. VERY wrong

especially now considering the entire GOP protects PEDOPHILES

[Pluvious]

8. Great reply...

9. I heard about this on Deadline Whitehouse. Creative!

It won't be long before no one knows who is whom in Minneapolis.

[FakeNoose]

12. I hope this is true! Minnesotans are the BEST!!!!

[Stargleamer]

14. It is a great reply! But the photo itself might not be from Minnesota

but L.A. instead: https://archive.ph/yLiAQ

16. LOVE IT

SOLIDARITY WITH OUR POC BROTHERS AND SISTERS

[popsdenver]

18. ICE is bad

but the Border Patrol, being groomed as the Trump's personal Gestapo/StormTroopers are far worse...........

Who knows what the BP has been doing down on the Mexican Border all these years.....completely out of sight of anyone.....with a total lack of scrutiny or accountability......

[AdamGG]

20. Love Al's podcast

It's helped me keep some degree of sanity over the last year. There's usually something good, "for a change".

[themaguffin]

21. He's right and 2000 is a fucking lot of people in that state. The havoc & damage done is insane.
