Going into my 28th birthday tonight just feeling very grateful after reflecting on my day today. Super long 🧵⬇️

This campaign isn’t just about me. It’s about my people. Election Day is November 3rd, so Minnesota let’s make our voices heard and show up for our people. Because this election isn’t just about your vote, it’s about our community💜

The Trump administration is calling their phony investigation into Ilhan “World War Eleven”. They continue to wage war against Minneapolis, and we will continue to beat them every single time.

Minneapolis has already shown it’s stronger than the hateful attacks any President can throw at us. I stand with our Somali community and am going to remain vigilant in support of all of our neighbors as the elections nears.

Honestly. If that guy’s strategy is to wear us down, then he doesn’t understand Minnesota and our winters. We endure and thrive because of each other. To my Somali neighbors and friends - you are needed and loved.

Because of Lila Smith and her husband Karl, this spot has gone from a dangerous open piece of land next to a railroad and transformed into not only a beautiful community garden, but a permanent memorial to those who lost their lives here. Read more about the history: mailchi.mp/eastbankmpls...

For over 20 years neighbors in Como led by Lila Smith had been trying to turn this area next to the train tracks on Talmage avenue into something better. 🧵⬇️

When the mayor and a minority of CMs oppose AV regulations, this is what they’re against. Giving AVs free rein here will take $100s of millions out of our local economy and hand it to a few Silicon Valley tech billionaires. Full @northstarpolicy.org report here: northstarpolicy.org/rideshare/

To my neighbors, and the place we call home.

NEED HAS BEEN MET! Thank you all ❤️

WE NEED YOUR HELP ❗️We are helping a Minneapolis family who is behind on rent and doesn’t qualify for the city’s rental assistance program. I’m hopping to raise $800 to cover the rent they are behind on. Cash app: $jasonchavezcruz Venmo: @ LiamDavisTemple

I was proud to join MCAD teachers this afternoon in their fight for a fair contract that includes protections against AI and shared governance with the administration. As a former adjunct professor and @seiumn.bsky.social 284 member, I’ll always show up for workers!

The PRESIDENT OF MINNEAPOLIS!!

This was in the context of why I voted in support of Workers Drive Minneapolis, our autonomous vehicles regulations ordinance. We can’t just keep rolling over for Big Tech and not learn from what’s happened with rideshare, social media, & AI. Read more ⬇️ content.govdelivery.com/bulletins/gd...

The City Council just passed this resolution asking the Hennepin County Sheriff and University of Minnesota to take down all of their flock cameras. Seems like a no-brainer issue that would be a unanimous vote right? Council Members Rainville, Vetaw, Shaffer, and Palmisano voted no.

This weekend I had the honor of speaking at the Stonewall Sports 10th anniversary gala. I love riding my bike past Northeast Park & seeing it filled with Stonewall’s kickball league. Our LGBTQIA+ community living authentically and experiencing joy in our parks is the perfect antithesis to fascism.

Community is putting on a Cumbia Fundraiser today at 7:00pm at 301 Cedar Avenue South for Eliud, a 22-year old taken by ICE on August 4, 2025. Please consider donating and supporting the fundraising efforts meant to support Eliud and his family. To donate please visit: gofund.me/5b5877c7c

This is what people think we need to build massive data centers for. AI is not the natural technological progression of society, it’s the degradation of it. www.motherjones.com/media/2026/0...

Vote yes! Passing the MN constitutional amendment on this year’s ballot will increase funding to all public schools including about $1,000,000 per year to Minneapolis Public Schools. Don’t skip it - leaving this question blank is the same as voting no. (PS - Edison scored!)

Tonight at our Board of Estimate & Taxation meeting we deadlocked on deciding the maximum levy for the City and the Parks. I voted in full support of the park board’s levy request and the city’s request throughout every single amendment brought forward, but we could not find consensus on that.

If the left must answer for affiliation with that streamer guy, regardless of any actual connection, I think it’s reasonable for the judgment of the mayor and some council members that ran on an actual slate with this person to be called into question.

St. Paul stepped up and passed a 60-day eviction notice ordinance while Minneapolis' was vetoed twice by the mayor and evictions in St. Paul are down 13% yoy while in Minneapolis Evictions are up 7% according to @homelinemn.org

I just got done speaking to 500 minneapolis families from across the city on why I support delaying the MPS closure plan. After COVID, the CDD, and Operation Metro Surge our students need stability. This plan is rushed & still leaves many questions about the district’s financial future unanswered.

A BET cut to the city levy makes it harder for Council to restore the Mayor's cuts to climate action, violence prevention, housing inspections, health, and BIPOC & immigrant programs. He made those cuts rather than stop MPD overspending. Parks need BET support and so does City Council.

The city council have been calling it out and trying to get them to present and answer questions but they refuse. We got no heads up of MPD’s overspending and the Mayor has been stopping them from presenting to us on their financial mismanagement. kstp.com/tracking-you...

Council President Payne: "we've politicized this conversation to the point that now it has become toxic to provide fiscal oversight of this department, as though you are some unhinged person detached from reality for daring to question how much money is spent on policing."

A rushed and reckless plan to close 17 schools is the last thing our district needs right now. Our children are our everything, and they deserve a district that takes its time, engages with families, and builds a plan actually rooted in the needs of our community: not this.

Every year at the Waite Park Fall Festival I table with a budget activity where people can vote on what I should prioritize for the budget. Each person gets 3 beads they can put in any of the jars as they see fit (all 3 in 1 jar, 1 in 3 different jars, etc.). Here are the results we got on Saturday.

Lovely evening for Waite Park’s Fall Festival. Come celebrate our Minneapolis Public Schools!

Looking forward to the Waite Park Fall festival tomorrow from 3-7 PM! My office will be tabling so come stop by.

9/11 represents America perfectly. Use the tragedy to go to war, erode civil liberties & expand the surveillance state with the patriot act while simultaneously denying healthcare to those impacted which has now caused more people to die from 9/11 related illnesses than who died 25 years ago today.
