ICE raided a workplace in my district today. Two unmarked vans stole away an unknown number of workers from Bro-Tex.

Rapid responders were in force. There was clash. Pepper spray.

All the folks I spoke to at the scene were shook but resolve was fierce.

No quarter for ICE in Saint Paul.

Let's go @katieesb.bsky.social! Bringing student voices into decisions that impact their experiences studying and living in Minneapolis.
2/ The tl;dr is, it’s good to have a hot Council race AND a good organizer Council Member. The 3 biggest surges were in @robin4mpls.bsky.social’s 2nd Ward: precincts 1/2/4 (Marcy/East Bank/Dinkytown) up 25%+. 2021 was a COVID year … but 300+ added votes went strongly to Robin. (Map below for ref.)

I can’t even begin to articulate the absolute unbridled joy i feel looking at this number. Not ONE OUNCE of this race was guaranteed...any margin is reflective of the extraordinary effort that so many put in. Unbelievably outspent, but never, ever outnumbered. I’m so proud I CANT EVEN STAND IT.

There is so much at stake today. I am up against $129,000 from conservative and Republican donors. I have a clear vision to protect our communities from Trump, to improve affordability and address key issues like food insecurity. We need you now more than ever.

I just door knocked for Robin and @omarfatehmn.com and rewarded myself with a couple slices from Mesa. This is a huge loss for Dinkytown 💔
It’s Mesa’s last day before closing permanently. Go show them some ❤️

Mesa Pizza was priced out of Dinkytown. Another beloved small business driven out by price gouging. We need to protect our small businesses from corporate greed with commercial rent control!

What’s Shelley Madore’s answer to bringing more affordable groceries to Ward 2? “What we have right now is a very robust food bank system.” This is disgraceful when 25% of UMN students worry about their food running out before they can buy more.

It’s wild that PAC’s can just flat out lie. They blame CM Wonsley for the Mayor’s own failures.

@robin4mpls.bsky.social is one of the hardest working people I know. She passes policy and effective legislation with unanimous support all the time.

I’m also condemning this caricature. Disgusting!

- Robin is not a DFLer. But neither is Shelley Madore. Over 25% of her total money raised came from the wealthy and conservatives. Robin is more accountable to DFL voters than Shelley Madore.

Let’s talk about this:

- Robin is not divisive. Robin is an insanely productive member of the MPLS city council. She authored ~40% of the Council’s major legislative actions. 8 of her 12 passed ordinances received unanimous support.

Top tip for any college kids out there, if someone comes to you offering money for voting just take the money and say you tried. Have a night out on the town!
screenshot of text message circulating among college students where a guy who is working for a frey-supporting PAC asks someone to get people in their frat to "vote and engage in the election" to get paid $350 for 3 hours of work, and if they win, they'll get a bonus

"it'll look good on a resume."

Because the mayor forgot to mention it, I’ll remind folks that he vetoed the budget for the Dinkytown lights—champion led by @robin4mpls.bsky.social— because they were a “pet project.”
In just a month, Minneapolis has:
✅ Added safety lights in Dinkytown
✅ Opened hundreds of affordable homes
✅ Fought for stronger gun laws
✅ Installed a 3rd Narcan vending machine
✅ Brought thousands downtown
✅ Ranked #1 for women’s sports

And there’s more good stuff on the way.

the safety lights in dinkytown are the work of robin wonsley, and both linea palmisano and elizabeth shaffer have complained about it, so it's funny to see their ally the mayor championing @robin4mpls.bsky.social delivering for ward 2!
