I’m honored to see this conversation with @time from a couple years ago featured recently as part of their #TIME100 Talks series. The themes — community trust, public safety, and local leadership — feel as relevant now as ever. time.com/collections/time100…

Politico.com: “A federal judge on Saturday ordered the immediate release of Adrian Conejo Arias and his 5-year-old son Liam...” Me: There should be a Grammy for best judicial ruling. You gotta read this.

He was on the ground face down, being beaten by six men, and half the shots are fired while he lays lifeless on the ground. If they were wearing different clothes, none of us would be confused by what this is. cnn.com/us/live-news/ice-min…

Charging leaders with federal crimes for words they’ve spoken is a new low.

I’m disgusted by what happened in Minneapolis today. Disgusted that it was so predictable. ICE is operating in ways that sow fear, hatred, and violence—and creating chaos they lack the capacity to manage. Renee Good should absolutely still be alive. mprnews.org/story/2026/01/07…

.@GovTimWalz has been a steadfast leader through one of the most challenging periods in modern history. Thank you for your service!
Minnesota has to come first - always. Today, I’m proud of the work we’ve done to make Minnesota the best place to live and raise kids. I’ve decided to step out of the race and let others worry about the election while I focus on the work.

It still sounds nice. Good luck, Rep. Her.
Heard somebody say #SaintPaul should #elect a woman as mayor and they might have been trying to insult me but that actually sounds cool.

It was a very seamless process. I voted for fellow @HHHSchool grad @melvincarter3 as my first choice, my own state rep @KaohlyVangHer as my 2nd choice, and Engineer Adam Dullinger as my 3rd choice in the St Paul mayoral ranked choice voting election. #LocalElectionsMatter
On my way to cast my ballot for St Paul Mayor!!

Mayor @melvincarter3 shows up for St. Paul — fighting for families, expanding opportunity, and making sure every neighbor has a fair shot to afford their life. I’m proud to endorse him for re-election. St. Paul, make sure you vote for Melvin by 8pm tomorrow, Nov. 4th!

Kicked off this beautiful Sunday at Pilgrim Baptist and St James AME, two churches where my family and I worshipped for years. It’s always good to be home.

Obama: They never miss a chance to scapegoat minorities and D.E.I. For every problem under the sun. You got a flat tire? D.E.I.. Wife mad at you? D.E.I..

Knocking for the guy who stands up for safer streets (Summit Ave), who fixed our trash debacle, who launched Paulie permitting app, who reduced gun violence 70%, who understands that we can’t delay housing or street construction because of a small vocal minority, @melvincarter3
