Instead of standing up for immigrants who were impacted by ICE this week, @repangiecraig.bsky.social is supporting performative resolutions meant to divide the Democratic Party event further.
We haven’t forgotten your vote to strip due process away from immigrants. It’s the America you asked for.

All Trump wants is to make us think some people don’t have the same humanity as others. The Frey campaign and All of MPLS spent millions of dollars spreading Islamophobia for the last year doing Trump’s dirty work for him and set this up perfectly. They should be ashamed but I’m sure they don’t care
I am a citizen and so are majority of Somalis in America. Good luck celebrating a policy change that really doesn’t have much impact on the Somalis you love to hate. We are here to stay 💁🏽♀️

Someone knocked over the fist on the north side of George Floyd Square. It seems like maybe a car ran into this?
B and I couldn’t move it alone and didn’t want to break it more. If you have a truck or a group of helpers, maybe you could help?

I’m sickened to hear the decision made by Donald Trump to terminate the Temporary Protected Status (TPS Program) for Somalis in Minnesota. This program protects so many of our immigrant neighbors in Minneapolis. 1/

It's another bad mark on our society that we're welcoming autonomous vehicles but fear building public bathrooms in our public spaces.

Last month when asked about a Waymo causing a fatal crash, their CEO replied, "we don't say 'whether,' we say 'when.'" This feels like it would have been useful to include in the article.
Our streets are already dangerous enough due to cars, we don't need a new threat. No thanks indeed.

I’m so tired of this racist and xenophobic dog whistle. Never something that follows white candidates who move days before an election to a district. I Grew up here. I’ve organized here. I live here. And I’m not going anywhere. 10,000+ of my neighbors agreed they want me to rep them. Scoreboard.

The city auditor raised concerns with MPD’s compliance with the city auditor’s office way before the election.
It is a complete malpractice to not name who is in charge of MPD. It’s depressing to see publications not hold Mayor Frey accountable.
