New year, same reminder: The recipe for economic growth isn’t tax cuts for the rich. It’s investment in our people — in health care, infrastructure and education — to build a strong middle class.

You don't grow the economy through trickle-down nonsense.

A maternity ward doctor donated his own blood during surgery to keep a pregnant patient alive.

One woman gained fewer than 10 pounds over her entire pregnancy.

Another collapsed and had seizures during labor.

Photographs tell a story of two mothers determined to help their babies gain enough weight to leave the hospital — only to face little to no food again.

Black women in America are more than twice as likely as white women to have a stillbirth.

Getting physicians to take their concerns seriously is one reason for this disparity, they say: “If you’re a Black woman, you get dismissed.”

Today, with the windchill struggling to reach 0°F at times, thousands marched down Lake Street in South Minneapolis protesting the actions of ICE.

“ICE Out of Minnesota!”

Mass deportations don’t protect working people—they weaken labor standards, silence organizing and empower bad employers.

An attack on immigrant workers is an attack on ALL workers. @jimmy-iupat.bsky.social

They cannot be given authority to forcibly remove anyone from their vehicle this way. Think about how bad actors would abuse this power.

When I was 10 yo, I became obsessed with R&B videos on BET. I started my love of Prince, commencing w music from 1999. I saved my paper route money thinking I could buy a bus ticket to #Minneapolis and meet Prince. 30+ years later, we did a family move here and made a home in his old neighborhood.

I hope through my husband's campaign for Mayor, our city got to see the sides of him that inspire me. I wanted you to be inspired to become the City our residents so desperately need.
I hope that in response to his vision for #Minneapolis, you step up in serve one another in a new way.
When I started this campaign, I made a commitment to myself and to the people of this city that I would run with the values we share: honesty, integrity, transparency and care. I’m proud of the campaign that we’ve run, and I’m so thankful everyone who has held me to those values.
