I'm also incredibly proud to be endorsed by so many members of the Minnesota Legislature, especially the ones who represent us in Ward 7. Collaboration with the Legislature is critical for so many issues facing our city, whether it is taking actions on gun control, local government aid, or...

i have been frustrated both at the conservative DFL / republican alliance in support of jacob frey this year and at the media's ignoring it, especially when we are expected to come together as DFL for statewide elections next year

Using fencing to curb homelessness in the Twin Cities is an insult - MinnPost Agencies and governments turn to fencing instead of actual solutions for problems related to people experiencing homelessness.

I wrote about the should-be-illegal trend of fencing off sidewalks because poor people are nearby. www.minnpost.com/cityscape/20...

In likely the biggest protest ever, 1000s across MN turn out to fight for democracy, which I’ll add means fighting for freedom of the press. MN’s largest newspaper barely mentions it.

@startribune.bsky.social - your job is to report on the most consequential things happening in MN. Pls do better

Yes this is bad, & we are not w/o agency. We can choose:

Co-op/local bank > national bank
Food co-op/ independent grocers > corporates
Public hospitals > private
Local journalism > social media

Maybe not all the time (Obsv. I’m on here) But every $ we redirect keeps more power among everyday ppl.

The encampments that our city has seen are a reflection of our leadership’s failing to adequately care for our neighbors. The folks living in encampments are human beings who are hit by the worst of our city’s crises: hunger, housing instability, mental and chemical health issues, and violence. 1/

94% of jobs across the metro aren’t accessible by public transit in under 45 minutes. That’s why I am excited to announce I have been endorsed by Move Minnesota Action @movemnaction.bsky.social so we can ensure Minneapolis elects a leader who prioritizes transit options & making our city affordable.

The people are now out and the building is getting boarded up. Thank you Danny from rightaway construction for your help.πŸ™

This building has been vacant and condemned for too long. I believe the owner needs to be forced to sell or demo at this point. Oak grove neighbors deserve better.

We can’t leave anything in the hands of unreliable state and federal governments. If we want our rights protected, we have to protect them right here at home. No abdicating responsibility. Leaders need to step up.

Today my 6yo helped me deliver yard signs for an hour. About 10 mins in I asked if they wanted to listen to music.

My 6yo: β€œNo, I just like watching & listening to the neighborhood.”

As a result of walking & biking for transportation, my kids’ mental map of our neighborhood is really impressive.

Wages of unionized workers are 13% higher than their nonunion counterparts.

But unions also set a higher pay standard that all workers enjoy.

In high-union-density states, median household income is $12,000 higher than in low-union-density states.

This is why unions are vital.

Yesterday, over 250 neighbors arrived at The United Labor Center to let everyone know that Minneapolis will not be silenced. We turned anger into action and knocked thousands of doors to let our neighbors know what’s at stake in this election.

It’s important to remember that very few of our races are between just two people this year! Ranking Davis/Fateh/Hampton in some order is important and we need to keep reminding our friends & neighbors about that.

If you’re here in District 4, remember to rank me and @gebo4parkboard.bsky.social!

Lisa Goodman, on the "All of Mpls" (Frey PAC) call: "I'm holding checks from a lot of people who contributed to this multi-candidate expenditure" in Ward 7 to support DFL endorsed candidate Elizabeth Shaffer. Says those checks will be withheld unless Fateh's DFL endorsement for mayor is overturned.

One fun takeaway from the Pro-Frey All of Mpls zoom leak is that @katiecashman.bsky.social is in a much stronger position than I’d guessed. Good reminder for me that I haven’t maxed out to her campaign yet. Will fix that tomorrow.

My office is here to help if you’re being impacted by ICE activity in Mpls. In Mpls we love and cherish immigrants. We do not want to see families separated by Trump’s inhumane policies. Please don’t ever hesitate to reach out if I can be of help with legal or other resources.
