Like millions of Americans, I work to manage my mental health daily. I’ve long ignored my need for more help. That’s why I’m sharing some personal news. I’m taking a leave from the City for a month to get help at a rigorous outpatient program for clinical depression and anxiety.

If you plan to attend today's Wedge LIVE Cat Tour, please read these final pre-tour instructions. You are a cat tourist. Respect the culture and heritage of the Wedge at all times.

The Wedge LIVE Cat Tour is today! The weather forecast for this evening is perfect.

Please remember:

You are a cat tourist. Respect the culture and heritage of the Wedge neighborhood at all times.

New rule for 2026: No clapping, no cheering, no loud noises. The crowd for this event has gotten very large and loud. Your enthusiasm is appreciated, but cats tend not to like the noise. Treat these cats like the professionals they are.

Try not to drive if you can help it. We are just a free neighborhood event, not a sports stadium. Do not expect parking near the event. Take advantage of the fact that we have more transit and bike access than any other place in the state of Minnesota.

If you have time after the tour, please patronize one of the many fine restaurants on Hennepin, Lyndale, or Lake Street. And spread the word about what a magical place the Wedge neighborhood is to visit.

Situation resolved. For folks in the area, it’s safe to return. There’s still a large law enforcement presence as they continue to process the scene.

I'm tracking the situation on 28th and Nicollet as the Sheriff’s Office was executing a search warrant. Access points are closed while law enforcement secure the scene. First responders are asking the public to avoid the area for the safety of the public and first responders.

There’s nothing about Council Member Chughtai’s work on Uptown Safety Ambassadors and construction hardship program that she authored (Mayor Frey has not implemented). Nor her work on the Rise Up Center and other Uptown programs she authored. Any reason why only one council member was mentioned?

Mayor Frey can thank Minneapolis Public Housing Authority & affiliated nonprofit Community Housing Resources for 43 filings yesterday. Significant bump in Mpls filings the past few days. Approximate* Minneapolis eviction filings 3/1 thru 3/11: 2025: ~54 2026: ~237 A 339% increase compared to 2025.

Hear directly from Aliya Rahman, who was brutally pulled from her car and assaulted by ICE on her way to a doctor’s appointment, on the importance of extending the pre-eviction notice to 60 days. We are proud to have passed this policy today and are calling on Mayor Frey to sign it immediately.

I’m on the scene at Franklin and 1st. A convoy of about a couple dozen ICE/HSI agents broke the entryway into an apartment building at 6am. No warrant presented. Less than 24 hours ago, Tom Homan announced the end of large convoys in Minnesota… Bullshit.

@governorwalz.mn.gov, I’m thrilled to read via fundraising text that you’ll never stop defending Minnesotans. I agree: your constituents are meeting this moment. We need you to defend us. Come Feb 1st, you can keep vulnerable families in their homes by enacting a statewide eviction moratorium NOW.

Fundraising text from Governor Tim Walz reads:

“Hey, it’s Tim Walz. I just got off the air with Anderson Cooper live in Minneapolis. Here’s what I told him:

𝙄’𝙫𝙚 𝙣𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧 𝙗𝙚𝙚𝙣 𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙪𝙙𝙚𝙧 𝙩𝙤 𝙗𝙚 𝙖 𝙈𝙞𝙣𝙣𝙚𝙨𝙤𝙩𝙖𝙣.

Donald Trump is trying to make an example out of Minnesota. His message? Sit down, shut up, and fall in line.

But here’s the catch: If he’s trying to make an example out of us, I’m damn proud of the example we’re setting. We’re meeting fear and division with decency and generosity, and we’re not backing down.

The Trump administration is picking legal battles with me in the hopes that I’ll stop defending you. 𝗜𝘁 𝘄𝗼𝗻’𝘁 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸.

I will never give up on defending Minnesotans – but these legal fights are expensive by design. So if you have $10 or $20 to chip into my legal defense fund, it’ll go a long way: twalz.com/l/jFcQQd

Thank you for all of your support. Whether you can donate or not, if”

Remaining text continues on next screenshot.

Remaining fundraising message from Governor Tim Walz reads:

“there’s one thing you take away from this message, let it be this: 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗸 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗼𝗸𝗲 𝘂𝘀 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝗮𝗯𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗼𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘃𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗲𝘀. 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘄𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗴.
