Federal workers help keep our communities strong, but anti-worker extremists are now using this government shutdown to illegally fire these dedicated workers. Our communities will pay the price.

Tell Congress: Respect workers and restore their jobs.

Tell Congress: Protect Federal Workers and Fund Public Services

The president and his yes-men and women in Congress have escalated their attacks on workers and illegally fired thousands of federal workers, including AFSCME members. Tell Congress: federal worker...

If anyone on here operates a little free library, maybe this would be a good step?

Little Free Anti-ICE Libraries: yesterday multiple people were abducted by ICE in my Chicago neighborhood (Avondale). This morning I added 40 ICE alert whistles to three different LFLs, including one box that is about a block from one of the kidnappings. I have ordered 700 whistles.

Bright orange individually packaged whistles, stapled to English and Spanish literature designed by Pilson Arts Community House in Chicago. They are placed inside a little free library in my neighborhood: Avondale in Chicago.

I’m genuinely wondering what the strategy is. Since she’s supported and funded by Frey, why does Frey support candidates who want to continuously keep Northside neighbors cut off from the rest of the city? Ask yourself- who does this serve?

We won our court case because renters should always be included in the democratic stewardship of our parks!

Robin for Ward 2 @robin4mpls.bsky.social · 3d

We won!

Following three weeks of legal proceedings and over five hours in court, the judge found Wayzata-based Minneapolis landlord John Wall in violation of the law on three counts, resulting in a $1,450 fine.

Full day out!
First, meeting up with @emilykoskimpls.bsky.social :) then an event organized by my friend with @springboardarts.bsky.social. They organized an arts and climate meet up in Lovell square. Our parks are sites of love and community care. 🤍

I was such a fan of the “speed-dating” style approach! I got to hear from more voters than a traditional forum, and explain more in depth on questions asked. Thank you, DFL senior caucus, for hosting!

On a more positive note: really enjoyed talking with my 3 DFL-endorsed at-large park board candidates—including @amberforparks.bsky.social, whose many cool ideas include bringing back GOATS! For controlling invasives, but also for youth programming (“Kids for Kids”). She even has this 🐐 tattoo
