But we do a disservice to the most vulnerable populations AND to all other progressive causes by gaslighting people on their concerns on livability and safety. We need to take those concerns seriously and get real about having livable, safe, thriving cities. If we don't progress itself is at risk.

How evil cities are? Gimme a break. Please get to know me and what I stand for. I've lived almost my entire adult life in the middle of the city, my husband and I moved our parents here, and I want to raise a family here. I love Minneapolis and I think it's safe.

I believe progressives must prove that we can deliver safe communities, or progress itself is at risk. That’s what this campaign is about.

Real safety isn’t about slogans. It’s about prevention and protection β€” working with police officers, victims, advocates, schools, and communities to stop violence before it starts, and holding people accountable when harm occurs.

I love this community and I believe in it. But too many of our neighbors don’t feel safe, too many victims don’t feel heard, and too many communities don’t trust the system. That’s not justice β€” and it’s not safety.

It's hard for working people to get ahead when the entire country is about to be less prosperous.

Setting aside the merits (which are awful), Trump and Musk decimating American science and innovation, while destroying our trade networks and handing China dominance of half the world will cost our country trillions of dollars in wealth.

I told you this was next: they have plunged social security into chaos, disrupting life for millions of ordinary Americans who count on what they were promised every month. Keeping this system working is one of the most basic obligation of our government. They are intentionally failing at it.

Pete Hegseth must resign and there should be a special counsel to investigate this serious security breach. Who knows what else these keystone cops have done with our national secrets.
