Tonight a resident posted a picture of racist and Islamaphobic language written on Johnson street that called for @omarfatehmn.com to be deported and wished death upon the Somali community. @doronclark.bsky.social and I showed up right away to get this racist garbage off of our streets

Just delivered a sign for someone who requested it because their landlord put up a Strahan sign. This shows the choice we have this election.

Elect someone who fights for renters who actually live here, or elect someone that voted in Ward 3 in January 2025 that’s having landlords put up his signs.

It's the kind of maddening circular reasoning that leads to status quo and voter alienation. Whether or not you think Fateh's policies would help these problems, Frey's policies CREATED them. Jacob Frey IS the mayor of Minneapolis, and has been for 8 years.

The goal is to have no encampments. But until the city funds housing-first solutions, they're inevitable. Frey's encampment sweeps don't work. He isn't solving homelessness, he's wasting valuable resources. Everyone deserves a dignified path to housing, not a fenced off sidewalk.

Join us tomorrow! Let’s keep a progressive city council and elect a new mayor.

Ward 1 is a key pathway for that.

Today was the bridge dedication to rename the 10th Ave bridge for Senate Majority Leader Kari Dziedzic. Senator Dziedzic is deeply missed and we are all so grateful for everything she did serving our community.

Mpls Ward 1 - this man does not even live here and is running here but if that's not disqualifying enough, hopefully this is. He is complying in advance at the local level (last line of defense) before even being elected.

Brian Strahan does not want to stand up to Trump in support of immigrants because he thinks it will make Trump more mad and hurt us. Don’t support someone who is already capitulating to Fascism.

If you didn’t have enough reason not to vote Brian Strahan (if *not living in the ward he’s running to represent* isn’t enough of a reason), here’s a great big one.

This was the question I submitted to the forum that didn’t get asked:

“Did you vote in the SD60 special election in January? If so, from what Ward did you vote?”

The answer for Brian Strahan is that he voted in Ward 3, just as he has since at least 2017.

Brian Strahan just said he’s against any Bus Rapid Transit (BRT). Not like against it on just a specific road or specific route, he’s against it as a concept.

Liam Davis Temple @liam2manynames.bsky.social · 12d

In Brian Strahan’s opening statement he says the City Council has lost its way so much that council members can move out of the state and still serve. Meanwhile he has spent his whole campaign lying about his residency. The definition of hypocrisy.

What a beautiful night in Ward One to head with my spouse to the council member candidate forum. I’m all in on the candidate that actually lives here in this fabulous ward!

Many Ward 1 students and families received notice today that their school was on lockdown and you might have seen an increased police presence around your school or neighborhood.
