It's been a bit over 48 hours since the Federal raid in South, and I'm still struck by the impact that such a large, armed presence has had on our community. Impact matters, especially given the fear that our immigrant communities are facing from this Federal administration.

As someone who is often called to tend to people who are sick or in their last moments, I know all about the compassion, strength, and expertise of our Minneapolis nurses. I was so honored to get out to the picket lines with MNA to advocate for #SafeStaffingNow. Thanks for all your hard work!

There was a federal raid today at Bloomington and Lake St. Details are still coming out but I met up with folks who were gathering and have been in contact with immigration advocates, faith leaders, and government officials. I’ll be working with them to support as we learn more.

I had a great time at my friend Max’s Annual Witch Hat Tower party in Prospect Park – and I’m so grateful to get the opportunity to share about why I’m running and where I think our city can go with me as Mayor.

My faith is deeply important to me – it calls me to honor the dignity of every person through love and action. But I also believe in the importance of pluralism, and that we are stronger when we honor the experiences and values of everyone, whether they have a faith or spiritual practice or not.

Five years out from George Floyd’s murder, we still haven’t seen the robust public safety ecosystem our city deserves. And yet, it feels like we've lost some of the urgency for change that I felt in the weeks and month after, even as many of our communities still feel unsafe.

The Rise and Remember Street fest today was a reminder that we can experience joy even in the face of tragedy. The fight for justice continues but in this moment, we can live in the beauty of being in community together.

Despite the interruptions, it was powerful to be in space with community members at the Minnesota Spokesman-Recorder event tonight to reflect on the 5 years since the murder of George Floyd and how to hold our city accountable for our public safety going forward

I'm so proud to be endorsed by @stonewalldfl.bsky.social! This is so meaningful to me and I take this endorsement very seriously – our LGBTQIA+ communities are under threat right now, and we need to come together to make sure that Minneapolis is a safe place for us to thrive.

I’m sometimes asked how I can reconcile my faith and my sexuality – but for me, no reconciliation is necessary. I know I am beloved as an out gay Black man, and I know my fellow LGBTQI2S+ sibilings are too.

At a time when LGBTQIA2S+ communities, and especially our trans and non-binary communities, are under increased threat, it’s critically important for us to push back against discrimination and hatred in all its forms. 1/
