Today, Michelle and I are proud to announce that we will be hosting the dedication ceremony for the Obama Presidential Center on June 18th in Chicago, and welcoming the public on June 19th.

We can’t wait for you to visit. Go to obama.org to learn more.

I'm exhausted from this mess, but remain resolute in building a better, equitable, accessible world, block by block, county by county.

When the U.S. Supreme Court said that you could detain people based on their race, their accent, or the language they spoke… there is nothing to preclude ICE from doing that while you’re standing in line getting ready to cast a ballot.

Tomorrow is my #birthday & I'd love your support for mutual aid needed for my neighborhoods here in North #Minneapolis. This is direct rental assistance to families impacted by ICE.

I'm turning 54. If I can get 54 donations, I'll have a very Happy Birthday w neighbors staying in their homes.

My admiration and support for everyone in @hennepin.bsky.social trying to make/keep our area equitable, accessible, and supportive right now. Our residents need us more than ever.

Press conferences and social media posts have not changed conditions on the ground. Another person taken today off of Central Ave and Northeast middle school had to delay letting kids leave because of ICE presence in the area. The federal government continues to make our community less safe.

Even my car knows that ICE is a danger and harmful to #Minneapolis

Here's what ICE is up to in Northeast Minneapolis today. Absolutely heartbreaking.

Warning: video is hard to watch

I’m ok. I’m a survivor so this small agitator isn’t going to intimidate me from doing my work.

I don’t let bullies win.

Grateful to my incredible constituents who rallied behind me. Minnesota strong.

This morning ICE attempted to enter into the Ecuadorian consulate on Central Ave but were barred from entering. I spoke with Ambassador Yanez this afternoon and they want to make sure the Ecuadorian community knows it’s still safe to come to the consulate.

I wish ppl knew she's not the one to fuck with!
