I am honored to receive the DFL endorsement, and to be part of this community that continues to show up, speak out, and do the work. I look forward to hearing from each of you over these next months and working together to plan and advance what our community needs most!

Terrific — and very actionable — post from my colleague @kennedysmith.bsky.social
Come help gather signatures to get this great initiative on the ballot! (Also probably get some chocolate from the organizers.)
I'm just going to say a thing.
What a person looks like is not reflective of their soul. Insulting the appearance of bad people who do bad things as an outcome or indication of their rotten hearts perpetuates the notion that conventional beauty = virtue, a myth that's led to untold human damage.
Money for small businesses to offset the impact of ICE. Tell the small business owners in your neighborhood!
Amazing thread about being an attorney in Minnesota under federal occupation.
If we just required ICE agents to have name tags it would prevent them from ramming people with cars
Newspaper article by Sarah Nelson. Headline: Former acting U.S. Attorney Joe Thompson to represent Don Lemon. Text: Ex-CNN anchor Don Lemon will be represented by former acting U.S. Attorney Joe Thompson in his criminal case tied to the anti-ICE demonstration at a St. Paul church service on Jan. 18, according to court records. Thompson, who departed the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Minnesota amid a wave of resignations mid-January, notified the court Tuesday about appearing as Lemon’s lawyer. Lemon was among several people charged by the Justice Department with conspiracy against religious freedom in the aftermath of the disruption at Cities Church. He, along with Nekima Levy Armstrong, Chauntyll Allen, Will Kelly and Jerome Richardson are slated to be arraigned Friday in St. Paul.
The Star Tribune reports that former acting U.S. Attorney Joe Thompson, in one of his first acts since joining private practice, will be representing Don Lemon.
Helping gather signatures to get Right to Repair on the ballot for St. Paul!
Shout-out to my colleague @danielsuitor.com who is mentioned prominently on a LegalEagle video! Thanks for your incredible legal work during the federal occupation, Dan! Also the video is a good watch on the blatant disregard for the courts DHS has. www.youtube.com/watch?v=p6o-...
I visited 12 precinct caucuses last night. Nobody talked about reforming ICE. Lots of cheers when people introduced the "Abolish ICE" platform.
Say it again: It is only a matter of time before DHS kills again
@aidan4progress.bsky.social DM me. I'm happy to chat with you and learn what you care about. And tell you what I care about.
Man, the crop art at the state fair this year is going to be off * the * chain

Larry Lucio is a leader who shows up with care, consistency, and a deep love for the West Side. I’m grateful to serve alongside him on the West Side Community Organization (WSCO) board and honored to have his endorsement. His grounded, community-first leadership means a great deal to me.
I really hope that not only great community connections, but the infrastructure for these connections, continues after ICE leaves and is abolished forever.
Wow. Just wow. 💙 A huge thank you to everyone who has supported this campaign so far. In under three weeks, we have raised over $5,000 and I am truly blown away by the generosity, encouragement, and belief behind each contribution.
If you feel called, donate here: secure.actblue.com/donate/sebas...
Hey people not in MN asking where to send $ to help people directly: WSCO has been around since the 70s, organizing people on St. Paul's West Side. They are legit, and they are helping people NOT get evicted. Please donate if you are able. #MutualAid

My colleagues in housing court tell me the increase in evictions has already begun. We need an eviction moratorium. It can be limited only for nonpayment of rent, and even limited to protecting rent from December 1 onward, but we need to pause these evictions now. www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...
Open, participatory democratic processes like caucuses make me so proud to be a Minnesotan. Tuesday, Feb. 3 is Caucus Night! Registration 6:30 PM, begins at 7 PM.
