As a Muslim person and Minneapolis resident this is offensive. Just a day after Eid too. I call on the @StarTribune to issue an official apology. This normalizes & validates islamophobic rhetoric. There is no room for anything that perpetuates faith based hate of any kind.

The duopoly of two billion dollar corporate rideshare companies has led to exploitative outcomes for workers they rely on. They are unwilling to adhere to minimum wage laws. A new rideshare company, Wridz is now active in mpls. Announcing they will comply to a local wage floor.

Instead of treating unsheltered homelessness as the emergency it is, our city administration is spending taxpayer dollars on dumping rubble to keep unhoused people out of sight. This is a morally bankrupt action I will not stay silent on. We need actual solutions.

I often reflect on how our city could have better supported them. A more extensive transit system, renter’s protections, and good paying union jobs could have made a huge difference to improve our family’s quality of life.

I’m a first-generation Bengali-American, daughter of working-class immigrants, organizer, renter, & experienced policy aide. My parents immigrated here and made the Southside their home. Like many of us, my parents relied on social services and public goods to make ends meet.

Huge congratulations to @RepAishaGomez on her win! It was clear in 2018 when she first ran that her roots ran deep in the community and that the Southside called on her to represent them. That’s still true today. Thank you Aisha for leading with your heart. 🤍

I am ready for the work and fight ahead in the state legislature to ensure that we do better by the people. We ran closely with @IlhanMN , @OmarFatehMN , and @MaryMoriarty and our community spoke- we are the heart of the progressive movement in MN and we are not going backward.

Even in our struggle, my family loved South Minneapolis, a place of opportunity and possibility. I went to Minneapolis Public Schools, and developed a deep appreciation for our community. I believe that our community has the power to create the world we deserve.
