We can’t be silent in the face of fascism. The raid on Rep. Ilhan Omar weeks before an election is naked an attempt to interfere with it. Trump has weaponized the DOJ to target his political opponents, manufacturing charges that have been dismissed by court after court. I stand with Ilhan.

Thanks for calling! Hoping to have some meetings on this next week. I encourage you to reach out to all your reps at all levels of government, we can’t as a city solve this alone.

In her statement on the ICE shooting in New York, AOC specifically calls out Target. The congresswoman demands that the mega-corporation stop allowing ICE to stage paramilitary raids from its parking lots. migrantinsider.com/p/aoc-to-tar...

We can’t stand by while our Somali community faces discrimination, racism, and xenophobia. They should not have to face this alone. I call on everyone, especially those with power and a platform to do what Minnesotans do, check on your neighbor and stand up to injustice.

Aurin Chowdhury MPLS City Council Member W12 @aurinmpls.bsky.social · 09/10/2026

As Minnesotans, we know who we are. We aren’t falling for these lies from dishonest actors spreading disinformation and hateful, divisive rhetoric about our immigrant neighbors. I call BS, and you should too.

Somali Minnesotans are a part of the fabric of our communities. They are our neighbors, friends, coworkers, and fellow Minnesotans. I stand in solidarity with our Somali community who deserve to feel safe, respected, and welcome in the place they call home. ❤️

Openly provoking a foreign adversary to kill millions of Americans is completely unhinged and reckless. Donald Trump is the most dangerous and corrupt president in our nation’s history. The stakes are too high to send him another yes vote from Minnesota.

Aurin Chowdhury MPLS City Council Member W12 @aurinmpls.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

Also my experience has been the loudest people have been pro ai vehicle. The voices who oppose it are being drowned out when they speak up or ignored.

Aurin Chowdhury MPLS City Council Member W12 @aurinmpls.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

So you support Waymo. What’s your evidence that a majority of people do?

Aurin Chowdhury MPLS City Council Member W12 @aurinmpls.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

Totally! It’s what’s being pushed and given as a reason to bring Waymo here. I hope we can make a difference at the state level and keep fighting here locally.

Aurin Chowdhury MPLS City Council Member W12 @aurinmpls.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

The thing is whole sections of workers losing work to automation isn’t something policymakers can ignore and I think we are underestimating the wide ranging economic impacts on everyone if automations take away jobs at a mass scale. We can’t brush past it.

Safety argument also dependent mainly on waymo reported data. Haven’t proven to be safe in a dynamic environment like ours.

Aurin Chowdhury MPLS City Council Member W12 @aurinmpls.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

I’m having an am I getting gaslit at city hall and the media market right now moment? Because the mayor, some colleagues, and the strib are making seem like everyone and their momma wants to see Waymo’s and cybercabs driving around Minneapolis powered by AI. Replies on this thread say otherwise.

Aurin Chowdhury MPLS City Council Member W12 @aurinmpls.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

Agree with you. Hearing people on the council and in support that it’s safer, they don’t want to be around a stranger, and that the council limiting ai vehicles is anti-choice, and anti innovation.

280

Aurin Chowdhury MPLS City Council Member W12 @aurinmpls.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

Wish they would say that! It puzzles me though bc job loss = more people in poverty, housing instability, more crimes of desperation, increased risk of substance abuse, weakening of tax base while demand for gov services. All the things a lot of pro AI vehicle folks claim to care about addressing.

Aurin Chowdhury MPLS City Council Member W12 @aurinmpls.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

Serious question: are y’all pro Autonomous Vehicle? I’m straining to understand why some are. Let me know - also what do you think of the workforce disruption to drivers, transit worker, and trucking?

For 9 people to go, they want to spend an additional $14,000 in city dollars. Luckily we prevailed and MPD has to spend within their gifted amount.

1130

Aurin Chowdhury MPLS City Council Member W12 @aurinmpls.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

Why? Because the police department has over spent their budget by millions of dollars. And taxpayer spending should be toward direct service to our city. The public deserves to know that this is going on.

Aurin Chowdhury MPLS City Council Member W12 @aurinmpls.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

Some of my colleagues on the council are saying that the Minneapolis Police Department should be allowed to overspend their budget so 9 people can travel to accept an award. We are trying to convince them they should only spend within their gifted amount of $16,000 so no taxpayer dollars are used.

hey community, we have another amazing columbia heights teacher’s wishlist. Devon is going into his 5th year teaching and is one of the .5% of Black male teachers in MN. he held it down in his classroom & school community during Operation Metro Surge. 🎁 🎁: www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/...

With the school year starting next week, I am excited to be able to start my 5th year as a teacher. After a year of traumatic experiences that our students and community had to endure, I am hoping to come in with a focus on helping students find their love and joy in the classroom again this year. If you are able to support the students in my classroom, it would go a long way for an amazing group of kids and I would greatly appreciate it.
