I’m seeing posts from people (outside of MN) about how US citizens should carry their passports.
And let me say that *inside* MN, we are calmly responding to requests with: “No, I don’t have to show you any documentation.”
Because that’s how you protect everyone, regardless of immigration status.

It is also our responsibility to keep more families together.
That is why I’m joining Council Members @robin4mpls.bsky.social, Vice President Osman, and Council Member @sorenwithward8.bsky.social in co-sponsoring the Evict ICE, not US Resolution. 2/

We’ve been on the scene all night in North Minneapolis. While we don’t know all the details, we know that ICE shot another person in our City. We also believe a family is still trapped inside and hasn’t been able to talk to anyone, including an attorney.

We are in fact DESPERATE for winter coats, waterproof gloves, and good boots. We get so many wonderful donations but it is so cold and the numbers of unhoused unsheltered people are going up at the absolute worst time for it, and we run out of coats weekly.
The frigid Twin Cities temperatures will hurt the homeless; so do not gloat about the impact on ICE without also stepping up here:
If you're still able to help Minnesota, @supplydepotmpls.bsky.social is always accepting donations. $10 buys a pack of handwarmers. If you were given Amazon gift cards this year for Christmas, you can shop their Amazon wishlist: linktr.ee/sanctuarysup...

I hope @dewayneforminneapolis.com doesn't mind me retelling a story he told me when we first met last winter. I kept it to myself because he wasn’t telling it publicly but he mentioned it yesterday. It’s one of the things that’s leading me to rank him first. A hope-its-ok-and-I-get-right 🧵:
Yesterday, I hosted an incredible event, "Ward 8 for a New Mayor." We talked about why we need a new mayor and then @jazzformayor.bsky.social , @omarfatehmn.com , and @dewayneforminneapolis.com laid out why they should be our next mayor. I came away excited about all of them and will rank all three!

Friendly reminder that Minneapolis changed its billing system for water payments and did a terrible job telling people, so your automatic payments might not be going through.

Right now, Minneapolis can choose a different story than the one people are telling about us – we can choose to believe in the power of us.
Voting is open now until November 4. I hope you'll rank me first on your ballot because Minneapolis deserves better.

Twin Cities! CVS has Covid vaccines. Lots of scheduling options, and I was in and out in 5 min (even with someone ahead of me). Support community health, go get your annual shots!

I’ve seen a lot of false information circulating in the weeks following the Minneapolis DFL convention. Some of it feels like reading Jan 6 voter conspiracy theories, so as the person who stepped in as head teller + audited the voting system, I’d like to set the record straight🧵

If you have an indoor cat and you're not masking, when your cat dies a death I can't describe without a dozen content warnings, you'll know you were at fault. And we're all too fragile emotionally for that trauma right now. So please, for the cats, mask.

Minneapolis Ward 8 people: can we get people who care about our houseless neighbors on this committee, which will be full of awful NIMBYism and concern trolling? The application deadline is tomorrow. (Screenshot is from today's Lyndale Neighborhood Association newsletter).
