We love to see a lover boy Mayor!!! In all seriousness, scrutinizing public officials is absolutely fair game. Attacking our loved ones is not. Proud of @OmarFatehMN for making that boundary clear.
The Star Tribune is working on a story about my wife that is not journalism. It’s about clicks. It’s about manufacturing a scandal where there is none. Read my statement:

Some of y’all think it’s offensive for me to celebrate my birthday. Here’s the thing: as a domestic violence survivor, every day of this life is a gift I never imagined I’d have. Every birthday is a reminder of how lucky I am. To another year of learning and growing, inshallah ✨

We'll be celebrating on Sept. 9th at 6:30 at Little Tijuana. We'll have some treats available to share, and hope you'll join us!

I'm so excited to celebrate the next year of learning and growing, and I can't wait to do it with my fellow socialist Council champion @robin4mpls. In true Virgo fashion, though, I had to have the party in my birthday month!

The last year brought lots of change—across the US, in Minneapolis, and in all of our lives, including mine. Through it all, serving Ward 10 is one of the most rewarding and challenging experiences of my life. I’m turning 28 next week and I wanna share this milestone with you!

28 party insiders met privately and voted to overturn our endorsement. Let me be clear, we’re still in this fight. And we’re going to win. Donate and sign up for a shift today. https://t.co/5zwecGZb71

28 insiders at the State DFL decided to overturn @OmarFatehMN’s historic @MinneapolisDFL endorsement. 8,000 Minneapolis residents participated in this process. No matter how they spin it, this decision undermines democracy. Let’s make sure our movement wins on November 4th:

Uptown Porchfest is actually the people’s Open Streets Bryant
The people of the Wedge say who cares about the budget crisis, we're adding an open streets event on Bryant Ave.

Mayor Frey’s 2026 recommended budget guts all public health response to homelessness. A leading cause of death for unhoused Minnesotans stems from infection. Cutting funding for access to clean water — the strongest tool for preventing infection among unhoused people — is cruel.

As seen in this video, Jacob Frey and Donald Trump treat unhoused people exactly the same. There’s something uniquely devastating about watching people with nowhere to go, in the wealthiest country in the history of the world, be treated like literal garbage just for existing.

Can’t wait for the post-election, January 2026 story to break about how double pay didn’t actually get banned (you know, like the no knock warrant ban that Mayor Frey campaigned on and admitted to lying about)

Well hot damn. #FatehFest is sold out. People must like him and his policies or something, idk.

Today’s committee meeting about the role of local government in response to ICE and Trump left me thinking about how Mayor Frey fails immigrants. I’m grateful to future Mayor @OmarFatehMN and Parks Commissioner Jason Garcia joining me in the Wedge for National Night Out tonight

The SEIU endorsement is a reflection of whether a candidate shares DFL values. The Mayor’s veto of Labor Standards Board showed SEIU’s 50,000 members that Frey is not on their side. It’s time we elect a working people champion. It’s time for @OmarFatehMN.

Big loss for Mayor Frey today. Losing an endorsement from SEIU’s members is monumental. The majority of SEIU members who live or work in Minneapolis are immigrants, women, and/or BIPOC. Congratulations on earning @seiumn’s support, @OmarFatehMN! Let’s win, together #1u
Big pickup for the mayor. And it’s surprising to me that the 1st instinct of many who don’t support Frey is to assume that progressive people/orgs like SEIU, AFSCME, or Keith Ellison are either stupid or power hungry. Maybe they just disagree with how you define progressive?
