Fortunately, her opponent in the DFL primary, Peggy Flanagan, is pretty cool. If like me you long for the US to have an actual opposition party that isn’t in the technofascist bag, well…this primary is specifically about whether we Minnesotans want that.
Voting is not the only or even the primary way we get ourselves out of this mess, but here is one place where voting can actually make a difference in the course of events. August 11, folks — and you can vote in the primary early!
Seize that moment, then get back to doing all the other work of resistance.
A Craig-affiliated PAC ran a deepfake video attack ad against her DFL primary opponent, and Craig’s response was basically “but the ad is true, though!” (It was in fact deeply misleading.)
Angie Craig is a cryptocurrency shill:

Angie Craig is a data center cheerleader:
(Post is March 2024, and she’s expressed no sudden new opposition to them since then that I'm aware of — and it would be surprising if she did, given who pays her bills)
Hey Minnesota, just a reminder that Angie Craig is:
- a data center cheerleader
- and a cryptocurrency sell-out
- whose PAC has been using gen AI to make fake images of her opponent
- and who has just crap tons of big money behind her
- which is how she's carpet-bombing the state with junk texts and ads.
Stay informed, stay safe, stay crypto-bro-free.
DFL primaries happen on August 11, 2026.
Decided to update this search, one month later.
Strong writing in the morning paper reminding us that Minnesota — for all its worldwide acclaim — still has four Republicans in the U.S. House who are doing nothing that I'm aware of to rein in the chaos.
Long story short, it can — and does — happen here.

I get more compliments about this shirt than any article of clothing I've ever owned.
That is kind of embarrassing.. . It seems the City of Saint Paul let their certificates expire...

Ugh. Angie Craig is pretty damned bleah, but this surprises even me — even coming from a PAC and not her own campaign.
