The '''Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party''' (DFL) is a separate but affiliated branch of the national [[Democratic Party|Democrat Party]] that uniquely operates in [[Minnesota]]. It was formed on April 15, 1944, when the state's Democrat and Farmer-Labor parties merged with the instrumental assistance of [[Hubert H. Humphrey]].<ref>https://www.dfl.org/about-our-party/overview-dfl-history/</ref>

The formation of the Democratic-Farmer-Labor party took place in a context of intense factional struggle between [[Popular Front]] liberals and a more moderate bloc that lasted from the death of Governor Floyd B. Olson in 1936 to the election of Hubert Humphrey to the U.S. Senate in 1948. Many of Humphrey's allies became active in national politics—Orville Freeman, [[Eugene McCarthy]], [[Walter Mondale]], [[Donald Fraser]], —and did not oppose [[Cold War]] foreign policy till well into the [[Vietnam war]] era.<ref>https://www.amazon.com/Dubious-Alliance-Making-Minnesotas-Party/dp/0816613249</ref>

For many years, the DFL has championed the causes of farmers and skilled union workers, though in recent years, the former has taken a distant backseat to the latter as well as to the interests and goals of the national Democrat Party. All Democrat politicians in and from Minnesota work under the DFL header, though this has become more of a matter of tradition than of any substantive meaning.

Outside the state, DFLers are typically referred to by their colleagues in the [[United States Congress]] and by the [[mainstream media]] simply as "Democrats."

The DFL, which has had virtual [[single party control]] for 70 years in Minnesota and is a powerful influence in both the [[Democratic National Committee]] and national political affairs through its two vice presidents and two Democrat presidential nominees, has this to say about its African American Caucus:
{{quotebox-float|"We hope to live in a Minnesota where African Americans will have full access to all opportunities and their interests are seen as critical to the wellbeing of the state."<ref>https://www.dfl.org/about/caucuses-and-organizations/</ref>}}

Evidently after 70 years of a near [[totalitarian]] grip on the state, and undue influence in [[Washington, D.C.]], Minnesota has not overcome its [[systemic racism]]. While blacks are still "hoping for opportunities," their [[white]] [[Democrat plantation]] [[massa]]s see "their interests as critical" to white Democrat electoral success. The DFL has also since formed [[Feminist]], [[Muslim]], [[Somali]], [[Latino]], [[Progressive]], [[Environmental]], Seniors, Disability, [[Veterans]], American Indian, Asia-Pacific, Asian Indian, [[Hmong]], and [[LGBT]] caucuses, as well. Its Hunting and Fishing caucus presumably is its good 'ol boy network.

In 2018 the Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party deputy communications director William Davis made a [[Facebook]] post that called for bringing [[Republican]]s "to the [[guillotine]]s."<ref>https://thewashingtonstandard.com/minnesota-democratic-farmer-labor-party-calls-for-guillotines-for-republicans/</ref>

'''Derek Michael Chauvin''' (born March 19, 1976) is an American former police officer known for his involvement in the death of [[George Floyd]] in [[Minneapolis]], [[Minnesota]], on May 25, 2020. During an arrest made by Chauvin and three other officers, he knelt on Floyd's neck for several minutes while Floyd was handcuffed, lying face down on the street calling out "I can't breathe".

He was fired from his job after the death of George Floyd while in custody.

He assured people that they aren’t trying to shut down anyone’s speech, but they weren’t going to allow anyone to start getting violent, understanding that if that started, the black members of the crowd would get the bulk of the response.

“We’re going to keep our social distance, and we’re not going to allow somebody in the crowd to throw some bulls**t and then we feel the bulk of that,” said the man. “We’re not allowing that no more.

===Amy Klobuchar===

Alleged "centrist" [[Amy Klobuchar]], who ranks high on Democrat presidential nominee Joe Biden's short list of VP choices, was the Minneapolis Hennepin County prosecutor prior to being elected by the longtime [[communist]] infiltrated [[Democrat Farm Labor]] party senator from Minnesota. Klobuchar handled a case involving the same police officer charged in the death of [[George Floyd]]. When exposed for protecting racist cops, Klobuchar blamed the [[Bill of Rights]] for not indicting the same cop accused of killing George Floyd in the death of another black man in 2006.<ref>https://www.nysun.com/editorials/amy-klobuchar-blames-the-bill-of-rights/91150/</ref>

Earlier in 2020 the [[NAACP]] and [[Black Lives Matter]] called on Klobuchar to withdraw her presidential bid due to her racist prosecution in a 2003 murder case resulting in a life sentence for an innocent black man.<ref>http://www.startribune.com/activists-call-on-amy-klobuchar-to-withdraw-over-2003-murder-case/567397292/</ref> As district attorney, Klobutcher built her career prosecuting a vastly disproportionate number of black youths.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1s0W1-ILBT4</ref>

Klobuchar's racist views are in keeping with her opposition to [[due process]] rights and her [[anti-constitutionalist]] ideology.

With Klobuchar forced out of contention and her appeal to Blacks tainted, the [[liberal media]] re-booted [[Stacey Abrams]] of [[Georgia]] as the top contender for the Number 2 spot. A much touted Biden/Abrams "dream ticket" had already been peddled "out of the gate" even before Biden announced his candidacy in the Spring of 2019.<ref>https://www.axios.com/2020-presidential-election-joe-biden-stacey-abrams-vp-54472f8f-5bb2-4d1f-bc7c-0544a09ebba5.html</ref> Abrams supposedly is representative the vital Black female vote that Democrats relied upon to win back the [[House of Representatives|House]] in the [[2018 Midterm elections]]. Abrams has proven herself a loyal dogface pony soldier shilling for the [[Democrat plantation]], attacking [[Tara Reade]]'s credibility, with the added bonus of poo-pooing the "Believe All Women" and [[MeToo movement]]s. Racist Biden's staffers quietly and ironically told journalists behind Abrams back, 'no one takes Stacey seriously'.<ref>https://nypost.com/2020/05/02/the-powerful-female-democrats-angling-for-biden-administration-hjobs/</ref>

===Keith Ellison===
[[Keith Ellison]] was actively opposed by the Minneapolis Police Officers Federation when he ran for Minnesota Attorney General in 2018. Bad blood has existed between the police officer's union and Ellison since the 1990s when Ellison, as a private attorney, defended a gang leader implicated in the public execution of a Minneapolis police officer.<ref>https://theminnesotasun.com/2018/11/04/minneapolis-police-make-final-plea-dont-vote-for-gang-attorney-keith-ellison/</ref> Ellison's sympathy for cop killers has been accentuated by his close association with the leader of [[Portland]]'s notoriously violent, [[homophobic]], and racist Antifa faction.<ref>https://youtu.be/YECDzSn7co8</ref> As congressman and Attorney General, Ellison promoted Antifa and political violence.<ref>https://bigleaguepolitics.com/busted-keith-ellison-photographed-with-portland-antifa-leader-deletes-pro-antifa-tweet/</ref> Antifa has been designated as a domestic terrorist organization by the [[Department of Homeland Security]].<ref>https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2017/9/2/1695501/-Homeland-Security-has-named-AntiFA-as-a-domestic-terrorist-organization</ref>

Ellison is a former [[Democrat National Committee]] vice chair and congressman who gave up his seat to [[Ilhan Omar]] to run for Minnesota Attorney General. His son is on the Minneapolis City Council that wants to disband the city's police department.

As Attorney General Ellison overcharged the accused police officers, setting up future riots when and if the accused officers are exonerated.<ref>https://youtu.be/SETEqKnXug4</ref> ''[[Newsweek]]'' reported shortly after charges were filed, ''Prosecutors of George Floyd Police Officers Will Struggle to Get Four Convictions''.<ref>https://www.newsweek.com/prosecutors-george-floyd-police-officers-will-struggle-get-four-convictions-1509258</ref>

===Democratic Socialists of America===

:{{See also|Communism}}
The [[Democratic Socialists of America]] (DSA) has 600 comrades in the [[Twin Cities]] who work closely with Antifa aligned groups. On May 27, 2020 the Twin Cities DSA issued a call on [[Twitter]] asking comrades for supplies at the same intersection where the Auto Zone was burned to the ground kicking off the nationwide riots. Later that evening the [[Marxist]]s tweeted,
[[File:Twin Cities DSA.PNG|right|3o0px|thumb|DSA call for supplies at the 3rd Precinct police station in Minneapolis which rioters burnt down hours later.]]
{{quotebox-float|"Want to help out your comrades protesting at the 3rd precinct? Here's a good list of much needed supplies."<ref>https://twitter.com/TwinCitiesDSA/status/1265774113693372417</ref>}}
The folks on the ground attached a list and included medical supplies, plywood for shields, anything else useful for shielding from the cops. The Minneapolis Police 3rd precinct building was evacuated and burnt down hours later.<ref>https://www.fox9.com/news/rioters-set-minneapolis-police-precinct-on-fire-as-protests-reignite-over-george-floyds-death</ref> Private cars were then requested. The tweet read,
{{quotebox-float|"Another big need: if you have a car, some folks may need a quick ride out of the area."<ref>https://www.facebook.com/TwinCitiesDSA/photos/a.252330275204626/951997051904608/?type=3&theater</ref>}}
The Twin Cities DSA Ecosocialists Working Group tweeted to comrades,
{{quotebox-float|"Support the ongoing mass [[working-class]] uprising!"}}
The daughters of Democrat governor Tim Walz and Democrat Rep. Ilhan Omar were two of the insurgents tweeting out strategic intelligence for the communist uprising.<ref>https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2020/05/breaking-exclusive-minnesota-governors-daughter-hope-walz-tweeting-intel-violent-looters-rioters-just-like-ilhan-omars-daughter-isra-hirsi/</ref> On May 28, 2020, after the violence and burning down of law enforcement buildings, the DSA National Political Committee issued a statement in support of the rioters:
{{quotebox-float|"We the National Political Committee of the Democratic Socialists of America condemn the public execution of George Floyd at the hands of the Minneapolis Police. His murder falls into the deeply entrenched pattern of violence, anti-Blackness, and oppression upheld by policing in this country.... This is [[white supremacy]]... We stand with and share the rage of all of those who are making themselves heard on the streets after years of being suffocated by policing and poverty after years of being looted by corporations landlords and billionaires."<ref>https://www.dsausa.org/statements/dsa-condemns-the-public-execution-of-george-floyd/</ref>}}
On May 30, journalist [[Andy Ngo]] tweeted:
{{quotebox-float|“We are witnessing glimpses of the full insurrection the [[far-left]] has been working on for decades. Within hours, militant antifa cells across the country mobilized to aid BLM rioters. The first broken window is the blood in the water for looters to move in. The fires come next.”}}
Ngo later added:
{{quotebox-float|“Media, politicians, public—all of us—have underestimated the training, purpose & capability of left-wing extremists. Every part of the rioting has a purpose. Fires destroy economy. Riots can overwhelm police & even military. All of it leads to a destabilized state if maintained.”}}
In [[Marxist–Leninist]] and [[Maoist]] theory, a [[United front]] is a [[coalition]] of [[leftist]] organizations that [[collude]] for the purpose of taking over a [[government]]. In the [[116th Congress]], the [[Committees of Correspondence for Democratic Socialism]], Democratic Socialists of America, [[Liberation Road]] (formerly Freedom Road Socialist Organization}, and Communist Party of the United States formally created a united front of the nation's four largest Communist organizations to take over the [[Democratic Party]].<ref>https://m.theepochtimes.com/how-57000-socialists-and-communists-plan-to-take-over-the-democratic-party_2654589.html</ref> As of 2018 the umbrella group is known as the [[Left Inside/Outside Project]] (“One foot in the institutions, one foot in the streets.”<ref>https://dsabuild.org/r9-establishing-a-national-antifascist-and-direct-action-working-group</ref>) consisted of 57,000 [[community organizer]]s.<ref>https://organizingupgrade.com/the-left-we-want/</ref> At its August 2019 convention the DSA passed a resolution to form a
{{quotebox-float|“National Working Group to help drive collaboration and resource sharing to support our antifascist organizing.”<ref>https://www.dsausa.org/2019-convention-a-world-to-win/</ref>}}

Law enforcement authorities reported finding evidence of pre-planning. The ''Minneapolis Star/Tribune'' reported:
{{quotebox|state officials said several caches of flammable materials were found both in neighborhoods where there have already been fires and “in cars we’ve stopped as recently as this morning,” said John Harrington, state public safety commissioner. Some of the caches appeared to have been planted days ago and some only in the last 24 hours or so. Police have also found stolen vehicles with plates removed, believed to be used to transport flammable materials. Looted goods and weapons were also been found in the stolen cars, Harrington said.<ref>https://www.startribune.com/police-arrest-150-driver-who-barreled-into-crowd-held/570908442/?refresh=true</ref>}}
The [[Sunrise Movement]], with established groups in several major cities, has heavily recruited activists from the DSA and Liberation Road affiliated groups, such as the Pennsylvania Student Power Network. Sunrise founding activists are all current trainers with Momentum Community, which is a training workshop funded by millionaires and billionaires to “incubate” supposed "[[grassroots]]" organizations such as Sunrise and the Movimiento Cosecha (Harvest Movement). Democrat millionaire donor and former 2020 presidential election candidate [[Tom Steyer]]'s [[NextGen America]] is also tied to the Sunrise Movement, and according to the ''New York Times'', the two groups “strategize” together.<ref>https://archive.fo/ytfYT</ref>

The DSA itself as of 2020 has 66,000 members nationwide and locals in almost every state. Other communist groups such as Communist Party USA, Liberation Road, [[Socialist Alternative]], Workers World Party, Party for Socialism and Liberation, [[Socialist Unity Party]], and Revolutionary Communist Party and their allies in Black Lives Matter and [[Antifa]] can mobilize tens of thousands of militants and organizing cadre at short notice.
