73% of ICE detainees have no criminal convictions, according to govt data.

Don’t fall for Trump’s lies about targeting the “worst of the worst.”

As ICE terrorizes cities to fill up detention centers, remember that some of Trump's major donors are private prison corporations.

One way to support the community at this uncertain time is to continue to support the businesses and nonprofits that are integral to the fabric of our community and neighborhoods.

Show up to support the 100+ Somali and East African-owned small businesses!

Can I let you in on a little secret?

Billionaire philanthropy isn’t charity.

It’s PR to distract you from low wages, labor exploitation, and a tax system that’s rigged for the rich.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.

The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.

Read that back.

When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

📽️ WATCH: The U.S. government doesn’t track how often immigration agents detain citizens. So ProPublica did.

We found more than 170 incidents since the start of Trump’s second term. Americans have been kicked, dragged and held for days without access to lawyers.

Americans have been dragged, tackled, beaten, tased and shot by immigration agents.

They’ve had their necks kneeled on.

They’ve been held outside in the rain while in their underwear.

At least three citizens were pregnant when agents detained them.

This moment requires leadership that will meet disunity with connection and who will meet Trump's cruelty with care for our neighbors. The antidote to despair is action and connection. We have what we need to meet this moment, but we can only do it together.

8/ The part the public DOESN’T know is that in the firestorm after Locke’s killing, Frey called Davis, then on vacation in Mexico. Davis — fully expecting Frey to discuss how to better control MPD — instead found the mayor pleading with him to fly home & stand with Frey at a news conference.

7/ Caught in a lie, Frey never apologized. Instead, we got his famously weasely “Language became more casual, including my own.” BTW this is the 1st election voters can hold Frey accountable for lying & Locke dying, but the incident is almost memory-holed in coverage. www.cbsnews.com/minnesota/ne...

Their playbook for everything is to throw in the words 'illegal immigrants' when they know they’re losing to distract Americans from the fact they're screwing YOU over.
 
YOUR premiums could skyrocket; it’s because of Republicans.

Undocumented immigrants aren’t even *allowed* to access Medicare, Medicaid or ACA credits.

Republicans like Randy are going to spike your health insurance premiums, but they REALLY want you to blame an immigrant instead.

Right now, Minneapolis can choose a different story than the one people are telling about us – we can choose to believe in the power of us.

Voting is open now until November 4. I hope you'll rank me first on your ballot because Minneapolis deserves better.

Minneapolis residents are ready for a new mayor.

And the best way to ensure we have new leadership in the mayor’s office is to use ranked choice voting.

That’s why we’re proud to endorse
