Anquam Mahamoud

The beginning of the 2026 MN legislative session has been busy and productive. I was happy to join this week with my old union, AFSCME to talk about the importance of protecting Civil Legal Aid for workers and residents in my district and across the state.

Today we gaveled in the 94th MN Legislature. I am proud to represent southside MPLS, and look forward to making real wins for 62B. Speaker Hortman's desk will remain a memorial throughout, a reminder of her leadership to bring care and civility to all our work at the capitol.

Thank you to everyone who caucused on Tuesday, and for sharing your energy and vision in what you want to see reflected in our advocacy at a party and legislative level. Looking forward to seeing you at the SD62 convention!

Happy 2026 Precinct Caucus night, Minnesota!

I’m proud to have designed these caucus literature pieces for my friends representing and serving South Minneapolis in the Minnesota State Legislature:

Sen. @omarfatehmn.com, SD62
Sen. @zaynabmmohamed.bsky.social, SD63
Rep. @anquam62b.bsky.social, HD62B

A purple flyer for precinct caucuses, happening Feb. 3, 2026 at 7pm. It says if you live North of Lake St., caucuses are at South High School; South of Lake St., Washburn high.

ICE and their scare tactics will not move us towards complacency. Southside always looks out for one another, stands up to call out injustice, and builds grassroots power — together. Join me and your neighbors this evening at precinct caucuses and bring your voice to the table.

Speaking truth to the federal overreach taking place right now is in itself an act of bravery. The attack last night against
@ilhanmn.bsky.social is terrifying. I am proud she held her own. We must condemn attacks on elected officials, and we will not be silenced in the face of injustice.

Another resident has been murdered by ICE in Mpls. We cannot be made whole from this continued loss of life. Say his name: Alex Pretti.

How many people will die at the hands of this rouge force before we wake up — as communities, elected officials, and as a nation? ICE OUT NOW.

I am running for re-election in MN House in 62B, and I humbly ask for your support at precinct caucuses on Feb 3! To build the local line of defense against federal attacks, we all need to participate. Together, I know we will not bend. Read statement: www.anquam62b.com

ICE has murdered a resident in, and from, my district. I am angry, sad, and without words save these: ICE MUST GO. LEAVE MPLS. This cruel and inefficient federal immigration action is only sowing terror, sadness, and bloodshed. Please bring calm to this tragic moment.

Our community came together on Labor Day to stand up for working people. We deserve fully funded schools, healthcare and child care we can count on. Together we’re building an economy where we can thrive and where billionaires pull their weight.

I’m excited to endorse Dan. He genuinely cares about creating parks and programs that everyone in Minneapolis can use and enjoy.

Tell me why the rally with @peggyflanagan.bsky.social and @warren.senate.gov felt like a concert?? Everyone was energized and excited to send Peggy to DC to fight for ALL of us, not just the wealthy few.

Children's MN Hospital is asking that anyone who is able please use their Saint Paul emergency room rather than the Minneapolis room so they can focus on this tragedy.

We've lost two children with many more injured. I'm heartbroken that they would be targeted in their place of worship - what should be a safe space for all.

I am praying for their families and fully committed to taking meaningful action to stop this rampant gun violence.

National Night Out was such a good time. Good people, good food and great conversations. We’re a community that cares about each other and that love came through in every story shared.

I am thrilled to join #TeamPeggy in her run for US Senate. I’m supporting her because she fights for all Minnesotans. Hard stop. She’s compassionate, truly listens, and acts so that she can deliver on the things that we all need to thrive. I hope you will join me!

This is exactly the kind of dangerous and harmful rhetoric we need everyone to call out and condemn.

This is the watershed moment where things need to change.

The nightmare is over for most, but for the families and friends of our beloved elected officials and those targeted, it is still very real. Thank you to law enforcement, fire, EMS, & our health care professionals who provided amazing service throughout. #MellisaHortman #mnleg

Let’s use this moment to remember George Floyd, mourn his loss, and recommit ourselves to the work that will make our public safety system function for everyone. There is so much left to do—let’s do it together. Rest in Power, George.

They seek to divide us, and distract us from our mission towards real justice. Today, I reject these falsehoods and renew our calls for a public safety system that treats every resident with dignity, compassion, and equality under the law.

George Floyd’s killing unified Americans in condemning injustice. The narrative is being rewritten. Conservative commentators play up Floyd’s criminal history and present the officers as victims of politicized justice.

As I reflect on both this moment, one which brought MPD practice into the light on a national and global stage, I am disgusted to see the way that conservative media and politicians continue to distort this tragic event for their own political aims.

It has now been five years since George Floyd was murdered in front of a crowd of bystanders on Minneapolis’ Chicago Avenue, by an MPD officer who was entrusted with protecting our community. 🧵
