    So grateful for my friend @staceyabrams’ incredible work to eliminate barriers to voting and ensure every Georgian the opportunity to have their voice heard in this election. Proud to know you!

    Please stay home. Please do not come here to protest. Please keep the focus on George Floyd, on advancing our movement, and on preventing this from ever happening again. We can all be in that fight together.

    The woman who documented the murder of George Floyd deserves a Pulitzer Prize. What work of media has been more consequential in the past year?

    Dear #MAGA flag guy who yelled something at me during my workout today: The election is over. And I run with noise-canceling headphones.

    The situation in our city right now is heartbreaking & rapidly devolving. I’m angry/ sad as anyone & pushing for the officers who killed George Floyd to be arrested ASAP. Destroying places we rely on for jobs, food & medicine won’t help us prevent it from happening again.

    Heard somebody say #SaintPaul should #elect a woman as mayor and they might have been trying to insult me but that actually sounds cool.

    “He’s not a home owner, so he’s homeless” is about as logical as every other @GOP talking point these days. These guys are… weird.

    Tim Walz, by his own admission, owns ZERO property. Think about it- a homeless man is running for VP. America truly is the land of opportunity! (this isn't meant to draw attention to the fact he pays ZERO in property taxes. He's an 'Aw Shucks' Midwesterner, just like us).

    I’m super proud of this; it’s one of the coolest things we’ve done. And not just basketball - we used #AmericanRescuePlan funds to ditch fees for all sports & @SaintPaulParks is currently serving 1000+ more youth than this time last year. #WeWontStop

    BRENDMOEN: St. Paul got rid of youth basketball fees. They now have 1,237 youth signed up, a 35% increase in registrations. McDonough Rec Center, which hasn't had a basketball team since 2017, now has multiple. Battle Creek has 11 teams.

    I just told my 8 month old daughter that she looks like a Vice President. So, yeah.
