We are made safer from federal overreach because of elected leaders like Elliott Payne. He is meeting the urgency of this moment, and I'm so glad he's our council rep. Very good insight into his values and priorities in this voter guide.

Just had to drop off an Elliott sign at this location because signs were again stolen from the same place where this hateful graffiti was posted.

To give you an idea what a problem solver Council President Elliott Payne is: I forgot the correct camera mount for today's podcast recording session, but he assisted me in zip-tying the hell out of it.

Great wknd canvassing for @elliottpayne.org . A common theme I've noticed is how appreciative my neighbors are of his responsiveness and willingness to hear their concerns. So many people I've met door-knocking talk about the one-on-one conversations they've had with our dedicated council member.

These threats and hate speech, whether directed at our places of worship or written on Johnson Street, are dispicable and deserve the swiftest condemnation from leaders to make it clear we don’t support hate against anyone in Minneapolis.

This morning antisemitic threats were made at Temple Israel. This follows the racist & islamophobic threats in our Ward last night and a fire last week at Alhikma Islamic Center mosque.

Tonight a resident posted a picture of racist and Islamaphobic language written on Johnson street that called for @omarfatehmn.com to be deported and wished death upon the Somali community. @doronclark.bsky.social and I showed up right away to get this racist garbage off of our streets
