Mr. Khaire’s comments are deeply unsettling, inconsistent with the values our community holds, and not reflective of the views of the Somali voters my campaign and I have spoken with. These comments represent a cynical divide-and-conquer approach to politics. Rep. Ilhan Omar should rebuke his words for the harm they cause in our community. (1/3)

Thank you Jenny Kraft for the great box of books for the little library.

@RoseyRedd5 He’s absolutely right and he’s absolutely wrong. The question is, what is his impact on humanity?

Black men what y’all think but why I agree with him

Samuels over Omar in DFL primary. startribune.com/samuels-over-o… A resounding affirmation

Counterpoint from @donsamuels49: Why I'm in the race to stay. #Congress startribune.com/counterpoint-f…

I deleted a tweet because it I became defensive about a remark from my opponent’s staffer about the most devastating day in our lives. Twitter isn’t the medium for that conversation & I capably showed why. I’m sorry.

@Iamthedamion @NationwideRadio Prophesy or wish?

@NationwideRadio Lol please he cannot unseat IIan Omar

Jamaica-born Don Samuels says he’s running for a seat in the U.S Congress. He'll oppose Rep Ilhan Omar in the primary for the 5th Congressional District in August. Samuels is the brother of prominent local attorneys Bert Samuels & Jaqueline Samuels Brown. nationwideradiojm.com/jamaica-born-d…

@cyclopsicles @treesong Perhaps it is not so much the quality of our ideals, but the ethical norming of doing the opposite of what we say, that is our American problem.

Imagine believing that a constitution written by slaveholders about 250 years ago is the greatest possible system of governance.

Many allies care too much about us To care what we want. 75% of black folks don’t want less cops. Only 42% want a new department. Don’t vote for us. Vote with us

Come on now, why can't Council Member Cunningham tell us the truth? Northsiders deserve better. #VoteforVetaw #ComeOnNow #VetawWard4

This is what happens when our Chief speaks in N. Mpls- where 51% of the shooting victims are shot in our city- he is embraced! We want better not fewer cops. Minneapolis Police Chief Arradondo speaks to friendly crowd about hopes for future of department strib.mn/2Ye6SS3

BOTH/AND- We can reform policing, increase public health supports, AND have a fully functioning police dept. with a Chief. Vote ‘NO’ to ballot ? #2. Without a plan, and a new council, now is not the time to remove the department. Here’s what happened tonight in my neighborhood.

I have never experienced & witnessed more hatefulness being spewed than on social media. I have never seen more caring white people attacking Black folks to protect Black folks. We may not like it but we are sisters and brothers with different ideas of how to move forward.

As we get closer to the final day, 11/2, of one of the most consequential elections and ballot decisions in Minneapolis ever, my prayer is that we can passionately disagree when someone has a different opinion than our own and still honor our shared humanity & interconnection.

This was the message that went out to folks when Instagram went down yesterday. I know there are people who are still kind on Twitter- the better angels of our nature.

@ColMcLaughlin @SondraSamuels 30% less cops do 30% less work, even with 100% full time chief.

@SondraSamuels This is happening under your chief. He needs to put reforms into place. He needs to discipline cops. He needs to supervise and stop the chaos. He’s had time. Hasn’t done it. Your way isn’t working by your own admission. Under your mayor. We all deserve cops who show up.

This happens too frequently- 3 ppl shot at Winners gas station; a hit & run collision & person hit (cars don’t stop for red anymore); Lyft driver carjacked (like 14 were robbed/carjacked at gunpoint last week and guns, stabbings, shootings abound. We are losing good neighbors.
