I wish I could be there but I will be at the planning commission meeting at that time.

Thanks for calling! Hoping to have some meetings on this next week. I encourage you to reach out to all your reps at all levels of government, we can’t as a city solve this alone.

In her statement on the ICE shooting in New York, AOC specifically calls out Target. The congresswoman demands that the mega-corporation stop allowing ICE to stage paramilitary raids from its parking lots.

We can’t stand by while our Somali community faces discrimination, racism, and xenophobia. They should not have to face this alone. I call on everyone, especially those with power and a platform to do what Minnesotans do, check on your neighbor and stand up to injustice.

@aurinmpls.bsky.socialOct 9, 2026, 10:23 PM

As Minnesotans, we know who we are. We aren’t falling for these lies from dishonest actors spreading disinformation and hateful, divisive rhetoric about our immigrant neighbors. I call BS, and you should too.

@aurinmpls.bsky.socialOct 9, 2026, 10:23 PM

Somali Minnesotans are a part of the fabric of our communities. They are our neighbors, friends, coworkers, and fellow Minnesotans. I stand in solidarity with our Somali community who deserve to feel safe, respected, and welcome in the place they call home. ❤️

I’m so sad to see this!! Feels like such a loss. Engaging in conversations to see what’s possible from the council / city level

Huge turnout + beautiful weather for the Hiawatha-Howe Elementary bike train! 🚲 Supported, walkable, public schools like these make our community strong.❤️ Go huskies and thanks to the Hiawatha-Howe Community School PTO for organizing this!

Openly provoking a foreign adversary to kill millions of Americans is completely unhinged and reckless. Donald Trump is the most dangerous and corrupt president in our nation’s history. The stakes are too high to send him another yes vote from Minnesota.

Reminder! This event is on Thursday! Join me and Council Member @aurinmpls.bsky.social for this important community conversation on data centers in Minneapolis.

I feel that last part in body. Why do we wanna create anti social conditions so badly?

@aurinmpls.bsky.socialOct 4, 2026, 3:06 AM

Also my experience has been the loudest people have been pro ai vehicle. The voices who oppose it are being drowned out when they speak up or ignored.

@aurinmpls.bsky.socialOct 4, 2026, 3:02 AM

So you support Waymo. What’s your evidence that a majority of people do?

@aurinmpls.bsky.socialOct 4, 2026, 2:56 AM

Totally! It’s what’s being pushed and given as a reason to bring Waymo here. I hope we can make a difference at the state level and keep fighting here locally.

@aurinmpls.bsky.socialOct 4, 2026, 2:54 AM

Thanks for sharing!

@aurinmpls.bsky.socialOct 4, 2026, 2:54 AM

The thing is whole sections of workers losing work to automation isn’t something policymakers can ignore and I think we are underestimating the wide ranging economic impacts on everyone if automations take away jobs at a mass scale. We can’t brush past it.

@aurinmpls.bsky.socialOct 4, 2026, 2:50 AM

Safety argument also dependent mainly on waymo reported data. Haven’t proven to be safe in a dynamic environment like ours.
