Minneapolis Public Schools just emailed to say that enrollment is down this year—likely due to Metro Surge—with 900 fewer English Language Learners compared to this time last year. An estimated $12.9 million less revenue for our schools. The impacts of ICE on our community continue to mount.

Thank you for covering our forum!

state sen mary kunesh here to explain the school lands trust amendment on the ballot and urge us to vote yes and spread the word it will not increase taxes, and not voting is treated as a no. she represents hilltop

Went to vote and received my ballot from one of our Senior Caucus organizers. Talk about being in community 😂 See yall tonight!

The Minneapolis City Council is adding another way for community members to make their voices heard during the budget process. The City Council will host two informal listening sessions for residents to provide feedback on the Mayor’s 2027 recommended budget.

Happening tonight at Sabathani! We will have lawn signs available as well!

8 days out. All gas no brakes. Students at the U are ready for justice in Hennepin County. Go vote for DFL-endorsed candidates!

When I said the Hasan Piker event was going to be an unnecessary distraction too close to the election, I was told to calm down and touch grass. Now Jake Lang is here too and it's become a media circus. It's some of yalls jobs to foresee these situations and prevent them and you failed. Good job.

Reupping this thread because I'm not sure who convinced a bunch of Democrats that the way out of authoritarianism is to concede on EQUAL RIGHTS, but I can *promise* that it won't work. It never has.

I don't know that I have many people in politics that I adore but I got to meet one of them today. Thank you for your presence and wise words this afternoon @ayannapressley.bsky.social! Let's make the last 9 days count, Minneapolis! Sign up for a volunteer shift at mobilize.us.

It was so great to join Ayanna Pressley and Ilhan Omar at a fantastic Black Leaders for Keith brunch this morning in Minneapolis. We’ve got 10 days to bring this home!

Remember when it used to be reliably cold in October and we had to wear coats with our Halloween costumes? I miss that.

I'm going to have to do magenta hair again there's almost no physical evidence she existed 😭

None of this would be a discussion if yall had just left that man on Twitch.....

Just watched two little boys lose balcony privileges because they threw their clothes over the side 💀

I am once again asking DFLers to stop using the "even in cases of rape or incest" when discussing #reprorights. Say "My opponent would ban abortion." Period. That's it. Relatedly: SAY THE WORD ABORTION.

This won’t just make trans kids lives more difficult, this will require EVERY little girl to undergo sex testing to play sports. Because what 6 year old wouldn’t want to endure a genital exam and blood test just to play 1st grade T-ball

Completely predictable and easily avoidable situations piss me off so much 😭

Early Voting starts today. Go vote. And if you care about our schools, please vote yes on the permanent school funding constitutional amendment. Leaving it blank counts as a no vote.

Why did they over score him 😭. That was a 7 dance! Thank you to Bruno and Bruno only!

Olivia Dean ruled the winter Raye got me through the spring Olivia Rodrigo provided anthems for the summer Waiting on Grace Carter to get me through the fall 🤞🏾

This is one day! RSVP if you haven't already. See you tomorrow. dfl.org/ypf

"I recognize the Council has made a decision. But given that it's a stupid-ass decision, I've elected to ignore it." Kind of the vibe I bring to every function. Yes, I'm rewatching The Avengers.
